Dear Flight Simulator and FsPassengers Fan.


I'm working since month on the upcoming FsPassengersX for "Flight Simulator X"
it will have new features and reworked stuff. your old database will be compatible
mean you'll be able to continue your career on FsPX. Customers of FsP 2004
will have a rebate for buying FsPassengersX. FsPX is due before christmas but a precise
date is impossible to to say yet. (dont's ask please
You can see the news here: http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=news

This thread is a sort of "blog" where I post often latest news about devellopment and new feature added.

Most Important feature you missed: (if you didn't read old thread)

In the payload dialog You can now set a type of flight, "normal" as usual, "flight tour" with income based on flight
time and where you can land on same airport and "aerobatic" where you must shake you passengers to get points.


Here is a small video of new effects, failures, tank leak and dangerous area will have visual effects

See "set type" button



More images in report and dialog, you can now add flight report banner (with a simple browse to jpg button)
pilot and company logo will also work with "browse button" (instead of manually copying image)
and last aircraft report will show FsX aircraft thumbnail:

Aircraft detail:


Report with company banner:




Belly landing fully functionnal, FsX always send crash splash screen and flight end,
in a FsPX flight you can make a complete one until stop and you will be rewarded if you perform well.




A new stunning feature: restore last flight's location, with company in economic mode FsPX will record
your aircraft's location and state when you buy your aircraft and at each end of flight. You will be able
to continue your flight from last location of each aircraft without managing dozen flight save. FsP
take care of that. Restore is simple and optionnal, from the fligth menu select the restore dialog:



Then select an aircraft and click ok, once restored select "start flight" from menu:




New map, 1000x655 size, optional lon/lat grid, can show actual aicraft location or one aircraft's location.
