Please Dan, how about a little Saturday Surprise for us? Pleaseeeeee

Traditionally it's Tuesday as in:

"-It will be released on Tuesday.
-Tuesday? What Tuesday???? This Tuesday?????
-Well... one Tuesday, duno...
-Grrr... and the next development update????
-Well, I think it will be on Tuesday too."

The Tuesday release became a tradition in the Orbiter's community. The wiki claim it come from me but this is not true:

I saw first the above funny signature from "AilantD*" a very talented modeler but I think it come in fact from the Microsoft & valve release !?

Now, without joke: Sunday is not possible because the guys at online store take some rest, I have some work to do on the website and the
testers still test the final version. (nothing serious to report yet)

Are we possible to change the airline name after the
airline has start its operation?

The later (change airline name) may be possible for a next update.

But there is a lot of requests for various features.
One idea will be to open a thread with users suggestion, then I choose the one I can do and open a poll.

Just an idea, but for a project I'm working on, I'm using UserVoice to manage feature requests (if you want to see mine in action, it's at http://mods-for-hesk.uservoice.com).
Other users can vote / comment on other user's ideas, and each feature request can be listed separately instead of all features being on a massive forum thread

I'd like to purchase it, but this 2015 version allows sav/restore flight session?

[Fabio]

Hello Dan, I wanted to ask if the new version FSP 2015 is the chance to see the report late flight in Italian ..

[DanSteph]

riccardo74 - Sorry, no save planned. The pre-flight setting of aircraft and the tons of variables and special cases prevent this.


Fabio - No flight report in Italian yet.

One of the problem for the flight report localization is the length of the various language (eg: german's huge words) that would mess the
presentation. Another problem is the dynamic composition of the sentences which may be different.

But it may also be possible in a future version given that I have someone that can help with those language.

What you can do when FsP 2015 is released (I expect tomorrow...Tuesday), is to have a look at the "language" folder and make a complete translation in italian. Starting from that I would be able to add italian in a future version.

Hi, i like this add on very much,but like many person we have been to P3D, i think FSX SE don't attract many people like P3D.So,we extremely
expect this add on coming in P3D as soon as possible. Please do it in you best, so we can buy it immediately. We have a P3D group, all of
us waiting for this product. Thanks Dan.

[DanSteph]

Thanks you very much to all for those great feedbacks I had in this thread.
They have some side effect on my health thought I'm so enthusiast that I work like a mad and can't have a good sleep anymore, 2-3hours
here and there only.

I have some ideas that I keep for future version as Aircraft upgrade.

You would be able to purchase for each aircraft some (virtual) upgrade as larger seats, multimedia screen for each seat, better cabin design,
phone relay etc. etc. Those upgrades might be costly but can bring some benefits: more pax at gate, better company reputation, boosted pax
opinion in report etc etc. They can also ruin you if you don't make wise choice. (eg: low cost company and larger seats may not fit well)

I love this idea and I started to code it a long time ago but it's a bit complicated and I should probably rework the entire company manager. So
it will not be in this release.

DEV NEWS:

-Tuesday ! The release will probably be today if I can get in touch with Adrian from flightsimstore (he's in holiday)
-The website is almost ready on my hard drive. I just have to upload the files and the new FsPassengersX 2015.
-Speaking about it I'm doing some "yolo" work yet. Usually one should not rework a final beta because one may introduce new bugs. But I'm
doing some late adjustments, clearing some typos, changing musics and (carefully) one or two line of code.

So the release will be fresh packed from today. It's 4am here (Swiss time), I have until 12pm

Hi Dan, I've been following this post and can't wait to get new FSPassengers, I'm happy using your product for FS2004 since 2006 and now I've just changed to FSX-SE.

I just have only one question: Will I be able to buy your new product from simmarket too? (Considering first 10-day offer)
Because sadly I'm unable to buy from flightsimstore...

Thanks in advance for your kind comments and for this great product.
Regards from Mexico City.
Angel.

Yes, there is even special new dialogues for this case so you won't have any trouble.
You can try for free before purchase anyway: Download, install, try.

Yes and at the same price. (I don't have any control on the VAT, so it depend of your country I suppose ?)
FlightSimStore is in Australia it doesn't take any VAT to other country.

I informed Miguel Blaufuks from SimMarket about this update one week ago but they may take a bit more time to update their page and price.
If you can't wait, you can purchase directly from me using the "exceptional rebate" link and ask for the normal price (included 10 days special price)

I send the code manually in this case and I'm very busy lately so be prepared for some delay also.

I decided to take the day off from work. I moved from Prepar3D to FSX Steam just for this. Looking forward to the release. Thanks Dan

Nooo, its a shame! I can't use it without this functiom. i usually operate mid-lang haul flight and due to various problem I can't complete the flight in pne shot. Why you can't develop this feature? I
know other addons has it, for example FS Captain has got it, why FSPassengers not?

Think about it, please.

Thanks a lot in advance
