Yes you are 100% correct-the word was impressed with weather not interesting weather. For an old man my memory doesn't serve me
good always.

Brad: No I am not talking about the real,real weather ( LOL!) but default fs9 real weather. In fs9 real weather the way they have modelled
winds aloft there is a bug...the winds keep shifting by 1 deg over time and then suddenly in one jerk it will shift back giving a periodic kick
in the back side feeling to the passengers! This happens even in cruise. Just to ensure one of them don't fall face down I put the seat belt
sign on!

Uuuuuh, babua, I didn't want to offend you. Sorry about that.
I do apologise.

Friends

If you love Fspassengers we are friends rope trick or otherwise. No sweat sky!

I've never had this "wind shift while aloft" bug occur. Maybe it's selective... lol.

I purchased that Reality XP weather radar and couldn't get it working AT ALL! Hence, I got a refund and won't purchase a reality XP
product again!

1. I mostly fly out of Indian airports and these days due to monsoon there will always be turbulence. what surpises me is the passengers
are so scary, little bit of turbulence and they start pumping their adrenalin and my satisfaction level goes to 95%. Is this normal? In real
life passengers don't get scared so fast or alteast thats what i think. I can understand a few panicking when you get a real bad one but
not for any and every small turbulence.

2. When the weather is bad, in the fspassenger mini window I get, beside otehr standard messages, a line like "interesting
weather"
What does this mean? there was thunderstorm and gusts yesterday at VOMM when I took off and i had to take all kinds of t/o
precaustions but could not understand what that meant.

3. In cruise when I can see turbulence ahead, I put the seat belts on. Later at the end of the flight report, it gave a comment like,"
passengers did not understand why you asked them to put seat belt on in cruise" What am I to do? Let them go through turbulence
and
sue me later?

1st) When you say "in cruise when I can see turbulence ahead". How the hell you see the turbulences?
Anyway, if you have doubts about turn in the seat belts light on just wait till they get scared of the weather. (you will see it on the box), then
its time to turn it on. Otherwise, just don't do it cause they will complain about that.

2 nd) I love when the weather is bad, Pax will be very happy at you after landing if you land safe, of course, you will get lots of points and
you will have lots of fun during the flight!!! LOVE BAD WEATHER, the worse it is the more interesting my fly gets

Hope it helps

I agree!
I don't think that pax in FSP are too nervous.. it's fine IMO.
It would be really boring if pax wouldn't care about the weather, turbulence, etc.
95% satisfaction isn't that bad, getting 100% every flight is not realistic IMO..

[SWAFO]

Keep in mind that only a very small amount of the PAX are scared during bad weather (I've never seen it higher than 10-15%... if that).
That's NOT MUCH at all! Sure, it seems like a lot when you get used to 100% satisfaction every flight (as lot737 mentioned, that's not very
realistic though), but it really isn't! That means 1 out of every 8-10 PAX is scared. Not bad! Usually, it would be a lot higher in very severe
WX conditions!

Nervous? You haven't seen nervous unless you ever had a birdstrike, like last night out of Aviano. Just taken off then there's this almighty
thump and the CP goes "we just had a flameout". I tried to re-start but it wasn't having any of it, didn't realise at this point it was a
birdstrike of course. As if that wasn't bad enough there was thunder and lightning everywhere (probably what scared the bird in the first
place).

And yes I did land back at Aviano, the thought of trying to carry on to Corfu in a Beech 1900 on 1 engine didn't really appeal to me. Probly
could've, that lady was still climbing out on just the one and maintaining airspeed quite comfortably.
