I have been “playing” MS Flight simulators since they very first came out! I am a MS Partner and have worked in IT since 1976, and still do,
so I am an old fogey compared to most of you I suspect!
I thought I had found the ultimate add on that actually works, when I found FS Earth.
The set up I use is two monitors, and a laptop to fly; one for the main flight deck, with the second screen holding all the overhead
panelling, and other controls, I don’t like the 3D view, I much prefer this setup. It keeps my “flying screen” clear and all the controls are
neatly stacked on the right screen. FS Earth comes in as it runs on my laptop and shows me exactly where I am all the time on Google
earth, as well as where all the AI Aircraft are too!
So I was happy with my setup, but started to get bored with it, because there was still that “something” missing. So I did what I rarely do,
because, in my opinion, a lot of them don’t work, I started looking at the flight Sim boards around and seeing what updates were available
etc.
I found FS Passengers and for the first few hours it didn’t work, it was that old chestnut, the file called UIAutomationCore.dll !!! But it didn’t
take long to find a version and get FSX up and running again. I hasten to add, this was nothing to do with the installation of FS
Passengers, I just happened to change my Antivirus program at the same time as installing FS Passengers.
So I thought I was sorted before, three screens in constant use and all making it a good “game” to play. HOWEVER, ONLYL NOW IS IT
REALLY COMPLETE.
FS PASSENGERS, has added the missing part, the last part of the jigsaw as it were. It is well built, unlike, in my opinion, 95% of the other
stuff you can buy for FSX! It works 1st time, and runs well, with NO FRAME RATE drop that I can detect, and is, to phrase it in one word,
Fantastic.
My congratulations go out to all those who built, tested and released this software. It is one of the very few add-ons for FSX Acceleration
Pack, that works as it says it does and just sits in the background with no frame rate drop, doing a fantastic job.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL.
