No offense was intended on my part. It's just that it has been my experience that low post counts equal a new user. New users tend to
complain about an update to tire blowing and other known glitchs before they do a proper search and discover that there will never be an
update or patch. The other one that will get us old farts bent out of shape is the screaming about lack of support. No support has been
complained about since 2005, nothing has changed since then. Please don't think that I'm upset with you, it's just that we go through this
same mary-go-round ALOT. I made sure to use the words update, patch, tire blowing, and support so that if someone does a search
they will read this, shrug their shoulders in resignation and learn that this is all there is and learn to deal with the problems on their own
or with the help of those of us that have already dealt with the same thing.
My rant is over.

We all have to face the reality that FSPassangers is dead.

I got it years ago and I have to say it's a pretty good app however It could totaly use some patches to allow more costumization but whatever we will
never get it.

Alternatives: for passangers only check Hifi XPaX
For both check FSCaptain.

Tryed them both, there ok but don't even start to be as good.

Yeah, maybe Dan could sell the source code to some developers who would start adding new features to FSPax? I guess that most of the people
who are interested in this kind of addon have already bought it.

No worries here, it is the same all across the internet though.

A new game comes out (or what have you) that a select few have followed for the past 5-6 years... and suddenly the same questions they have
answered 50000 times over are asked again.

I understand it can be frustrating.

Plus in this day and age many are looking for instant gratification and satisfaction, I am guilty of that too.

I want to be able to download the newest product NOW and start using it NOW.

We can dream though... same as my dream for a proper next level commercial flight simulator with PROPER atc / AI and payload modeling. Perhaps even a
smidge of financial management and company handling. (IE: FSPax 2015)

My dream is for Adriana Lima to mix my Jack and Coke to the proper proportions for once. She never gets it right.

Patch for FSP is available; one for FSPX was on the cards, but we haven't heard anything in a few months. I know Dan is around, but even us mods
don't get all the info straight away.

Many people have asked in the past for the codes to help in development of the program, but all have thus far been refused.

Dan.
I think he is the creator of dans orbiter page right?

What needs to be pointed out is that anyone new to FSX and looking for an addon like this to purchase could very probably come to this
forum while investigating, see this thread and immediately discount FSP as a possible purchase due to the complete and total lack of
updates.

*If* (and it's a big if), in the future, Dan decides to market new products aimed at MS-Flight pilots rather than FSX, etc, then I daresay a large
number will be put off with the experience (or lack of it) with FSP.

Honestly, as a marketing exercise, he's shooting himself in the foot.



Why not bring fanboys of FSP in as developers? I'd bet there's a few in here with the skills and enthusiasm to help out. FSP get's improved,
Dan gets more sales out of it (hopefully) and the rest of us get an improved game....and all Dan has to do is sit back and keep a vague eye
on things to ensure the new 'dev team' doesn't get any daft ideas.

It's very sad as, while FSP is excellent, it could of been the most awesome addon for any flight sim ever.

Sadly, many fans have offered to take a look at the program, even tweak bits of it, but as far as I am aware, their requests/ offers have been turned
down every time.
