In-Flight Music and Movies

[patwa]

Hello.

I am partially sighted and would be grateful if you could help me. I mention this as there may have been something that I've missed. I'm just
watching the mini panel count up the passengers that are boarding, and I wanted to play some music to help them settle in. But how do I go about
doing this? I can't find the option in the FSPassengers > FSPassengers Flight menu. How do I enable the music? I've got crew on board and have
loaded the B737-400. Also, how would I load movies during the flight?

Thanks very much.

Hussein.

I am surprise that Drew or one of the other guyr or / and gals hasnt yet replied to this but I guess they make it obvious where FSP as one
if not, the best Frequently Asked Question guide. Try it out, you will find it more helpful then you think. Its probably by default by pressing
CTRL + Shirft + T (music) and for movies CTRL + Shirft + O. Keep in mind movies are not intended for short trips. At least 1:40 minutes
would jusity a free movie.

Quite correct!

Please also bear in mind that:

a) Music should be turned off before takeoff
b) Music should not be played inflight.
c) Music can be turned on again after landing.

There are 5 tunes available: you can select the one you want by simply repeatingly pressing CTRL + SHIFT + T.

Thanks fellas, have been having some time problems off late ( big project for work that has gone haywire )

[patwa]

Thanks. Much appreciated. When playing music on landing, is that when the aircraft leaves the runway, or can you switch it on when the aircraft
touches down? No music inflight? The manual mentions something about music through headphones. How do I simulate that?

Thanks.

[JayKae]

You cannot simulate that unfortunately, movies is what you can do inflight now also music inflight is not a good idea, pax do not like that
and I always switch it on when I am leaving the runway.

Thanks. I'll keep the passengers happy and refrain from music in flight. But the flight is too short for a movie - only 1 hour 10 mins.

There is no procedure as such for using the music, but here is what I do:

On loading, after opening the doors for the pax to board, turn music on.
Get clearance etc set up FMC.....
Taxi to runway when ready.
When told to do so, line up on the centreline.

Before engine throttle up, turn off music - this also has the added effect of the hostess informing the pax that we are ready for takeoff.

I then turn the music back on after landing and moving onto the taxiway.

If you were not aware, playing music on the ground gets you a cheap +2% satisfaction, the easy way to get the passengers up to 100%
after turbulance.

Hmm.. I used to turn on the music when boarding, but now that Sharon takes 4 minutes to deliver her speech, I usually let her get it over
and done with before I do.

Thanks peeps. That's been really helpful even though it's just a small part of the whole thing - as they say, anything to make the passengers more
comfy!
