[closed] FsPassengers for FSX official note and Blog !

[Airbus_A380]

Just to brake it to you guys...

Spring doesn't end until the 20th of June so that leaves 18 more day until the "Estimate Time Of Release" is over.

As you can see Dan has been away from the forums for some time now, so he must be up to something, *looks at SimMarket to see if
FSPX is coming soon* xD

It is probably in Beta stages now, so all looks to be going good.

Well, why don't you do like me!!! Zooming out on this, I found myself pretty desperate!!!! Waiting on an addon for months... please get a life
(I told myself). How about flying lessons? Guess what..... I did. and now, few months later, I fly for real!!!!! One would think that it definitly
puts computer flying in the back seat once you are real life flying. Well not at all. If fact, you learn so many things in flying lessons that are so applicable to simulation, you would not believe it!!!! And a lot of time while I am flying for real, I wonder "What if I did this or that". And then, when I am back home, I answer my question with FSX(Sometimes I am glad I did not try it for real in the plane!).

These are comments I have for those who never flew for real by themselves or are to afraid to do so:

Upsides:
-Landing for real is at least twice as easy then in FSX!!!!!!
-Taking off is the easiest thing you ever done in your life!
-Surprisingly, taxiing is the thing that took me the longest to get used to(luckily, I was on the ground!!!!!)
-For those who, like me, have the rudder as the twisting feature of the joystick, will find the rudder pedals pretty interesting......
-You will discover how much rudder are useful in flight(and not only for taxi on the ground)
-If you are afraid of height, I would say try it on!!!! It is hard to explain but being in a cockpit of a cessna is so "unreal", that is almost like
you're in front of a large screen plasma TV, flightsimming!!!!!
-Crosswinds:almost a walk in the park! In fact, adds a little spice!
-Stalling: Almost never and too easy to recover!!!!
-Go to your local airport and have a try out flight with an instructor. Cheap and so fun! He will let you fly the plane by yourself, if you want to.
-And again, landings are exhilirating. I still can't get over them. Flaring is one of best sensations of all!

Downsides:
-The price. So if you're rich, what are you waiting for? And if you are still afraid, well, why wouldn't you invest in me? I dream of having my
own!!!



P.S. I also got my hands on the FSX SDK and building missions. I specialize in reproducing historic jet accidents from information I get from Mayday TV programs and NTSB reports. I hope to have the package out someday!!!!! By the way, please let me know if you know of a software that would modify my own voice recordings so that they sound like radio communication with some king of hissing. Thanks.

[Bondorf]

Hi Dan,
Getting anxious for the release.
We hadn't heard from you in a few weeks.
Do you have anything new for us to drool over?
Flying just isn't the same without your software.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks

I'll just add to the upside:

1) Being able to slip the surrely bonds of earth to touch the face of God
2) Being able to strap on an airplane with alot of horse power in the front and feeling the rush of its power
3) You're too focused on what's going on in and around the airplane to think about the problems that exist on the ground.
4) The aviation community is a tight-knit bunch...you can build some life-long friendships through flying clubs, aerobatic clubs, Civil Air
Patrols,etc,etc. It's a great way to network yourself into a lucrative aviation career.
5) You'll never get tired of mother nature's beauty high above the ground...the ever-changing environment is an awesome wonder

I can go on and on, but you all get the idea. I'm fortunate enough to speak from practical experience

[dannye92]

^thats all thats been said to me and what they say is just wait till your up there then you'll know what i'm on about

[VOZ_JLC]

Well said to the above comments..

1 thing about FSPX
Its probably been mentioned before but a great idea after the 5th beer is going down,
But it would be great to have the "difficult" approaches scored upon
ie extra bonus points for for a Kai Tak landing...

7 June 2008 - FsPassengers "X" for Flight Simulator X in beta test.


I'm please to announce that, after months of development, FsPX is now entering Beta testing. A group of well devoted beta testers have
been contacted and will now start to evaluate FsPX. This is of course a very exciting moment in the development of a new software as it
marks the first tangible steps towards release.

I know that many of you were hoping that FsPX would be released by the end of Spring, I decided to postpone the Beta testing phase until
FsPX was stable. I'm deeply sorry about this additionnal delay, but FsPassengers is very complex to do and FsX and Vista are not
really... "helpfull" also.

Many of you will of course remember the great attention to detail and the quality of FsP2004. The same attention and quality will be
packaged in this updated version of FsPassengers.

Please note that beta test team is now complete, it will be open for public beta test later.

DanSteph
(Author of FsPassengers)

For those that missed it and have been asking for an update.

Great news Dan. Indeed FsP has been a ground breaking software for FS2004 and I'll looking forward to the many hours of fun the FsX
version will bring us.

Phil

[andy14]

This is so exciting. Now there is something to do in FSX

I totally agree that FSX is boaring on it own without good addons

Thank Dan for making this.

Andy

[discjockct]

Great news to hear that it is in beta stages Dan!!! I can't wait. Great job so far!!! Do you know approximately when the public beta and the final
release of FSPX will be ready?

[m0thm]

other upsides of flying IRL:-

Aerobatics x10 fun,
Winch Launches (For those among of of the silent nature :P),
Side Slipping is easier IRL,
Forrnation Flying is a lot Easier,


Down sides,

It cost's lots o cash,
I've lost my medical

[dannye92]

^what??

why did you lose it for

[ameval]

man I always spend time reading through this thread, specially the flying in real life part, I just was into that, just imagining

In the other hand, be patient guys, Dan is working hard I promise you that.
