fsPassengers for X-Plane 8.0?

[GreatInca]

Will there be a version of fsPassengers for X-Plane 8.0? X-Plane is a more realistic simulator than FS2004.

I'll be damned if it's more realistic....the jumbo jet (747) is overpowered like a rocket and feels like a 737 FS2004 flight dynamics are
better, just not for the default planes.

fs9 is also more eye pleasing w/ the best add-on ever!

[smartboy4]

i think FS04's better :P

Dunno, you ever felt felt a real 744 on full power? With 350 pax no cargo they are a bit like a rocket.

If we take both products as they are out from their boxes, FS9 is more "sexy" with fancy stuffs, nice sceneries, animations, ATC etc. while
x-plane looks a bit dull in this empty world. I tried x-plane, liked the very good panels, it looks more a professionnal tool.

But FS9 covers a much wider market, so most add ons are for FS2004, planes made by CaptainSim, DreamFleet, Project Tupolev brings
the "professionalism" missing in the out of the box FS9.

So it is in facts the add ons developpers, who provide most of FS9 qualities.

It is the typical Microsoft's know how: Make a product which is never the "best" in any specific features but covers the larger market, then
the bigger choice of compatible add ons, user's tips sharing etc.

exactly like text processing, Word is not "the best" but it is now simply mandatory to have it to work with all colleagues customers etc.
Or Internet explorer, almost any websites, work with ie6 whatever are the errors in the html code.

This thing had full fuel and full payload. I'm just not convinced that its FDE was any better than anything freely available for FS2004. And NO they're nothing like a rocket with 350 pax. And they DO carry up to 420,000lbs of fuel. THAT is heavy. More than a DC-10-10's max takeoff weight or so.
