showing movies

[bdlong]

How large of a plane is required to show movies?

I've been flying the B1900. I have it setup with a hostess so that I can serve food and drinks, but when I try to play a movie it says that it is
"Not available on this aircraft."

I'm thinking that they have to be jet aircraft.

Any aircraft can show movies in FSP! You need to make sure that crews are available on board every aircraft, and set a few other settings
right, then you're good to go!

SWAFO you have 913 posts and this is the first one including a mistake (hope, I'm not wrong here, hehe).
I think I should get rewarded for that.

I have "all aircraft have crew" and so on enabled (specially like it in the Cessna ) and can't play movies in the lighter aircraft (even the
Learjet, if I remember correctly).

I was going to add "If I'm wrong, someone correct me" in that post, however I was pretty sure I had it right. I apologize if I made a mistake,
however I understood the system to work that way. Once again, my apologies.

[Pierino]

no problem, maybe I'm also wrong.

So just in case:
If I'm wrong, someone correct me

If it isn't related to Jet aircraft, then is it related to seating capacity, or weight?

The B1900 is one of the lighter turbo-prop aircraft with a total capacity of 19 +2. Would one of the 30 passenger turbo-props work, or even the 70
passenger Dash 8 Q400?

Im flying the ATR42 at the moment and Im not able to show movies...

[GoonBird]

The DHC-8 I have flown doesn't allow movies...

Would be interesting to know the parameters!

Just tried the EMB 120 - no go. I'll start with the smaller airline jets next.

[bdlong]

It works on the Dash 8 Q400.
This particular Dash 8 has a max takeoff of 60,198lb, and carries 70 passengers.

not on the ERJ 145 or Citation X (yeah right, someone spends the money to buy a citation and can't watch a movie on board).
