Hey fruitfly, are you talking about my girlfriend?
Where do you know her from?


Sorry, but she's already under contract with Snobair!

Let me correct your response. All is said that it get's boring at times. I don't want to sit on my PC for an 8 hr flight doing nothing. Is there a
way I can disable the simulation rate. I really don't want to lose 30% on all profits.

You can disabled the sim rate penalty in "...\FS2004\FSPassengers\config\more_option.cfg".

I don't see much of a point sitting 13 hours next to the PC either. On the other hand, short 1 hour hops aren't exactly realistic in a 747 or A340, so
time acceleration seems like the least worst option here.

I agree that a 8 hr flight from Manchester to Tampa is boring, so much so that you want to hang yourself at the end! However that is a
flight sim problem, not an FS Passenger problem, i mean how much more interesting is it to walk around a cabin? You'd tire real fast of
that as well. I have to confess i'm one of the people that loves time acceleration after about 30 minutes. If you want more to do during a 2
hr flight i recommend Lock-on or IL2, plenty to do in those, and no passengers to worry about.
I agree with the people above, FSpassengers makes it more interesting not less, but if you sit through a 12 hr flight, it really doesn't
matter if Dan simulates strip poker with Rachal Weiss, it's still going to be dull.
Just my two pence worth!

Mr Builder.
If you find an 8 hour flight boring, try flying on-line with vatsim. This will add a new level of participation for the duration of the flight ie ATC,
other aircraft and it will keep you awake.

Folks,

I guess a compromise *might* be some pseudo-tvscreen with small kinds of movies, that show some catering, smoke pax staring at the screens, applauding
or whatever. That miniwindow could be done for widebodies and single-aisle jets, maybe even for commuters and attached to e.g. a undockable window or
in rear view.
Yes, that means quite some work and recording or animation, but still much less than creating virtual cabins.

My personal opinion however - it's not worth it. It may be fun to "see them work" for one or a few times, but in the end, I think most users would
just switch it off anyway.

So, I suggest fixing problems and doing more fun stuff is better.

I think the answer to this thread is quite simple. If you find flight simming boring, then it's not for you. True, flying PAX for 10 hours can be
boring, however if it's boring to the point that it's limiting your enjoyment of the sim, perhaps you should move on to another genre.

Just think, what if Dan implemented all the recommendations you have? What happens when those run their course, and are "boring"?
You're already stuck in a path of burnout. Give me this, give me that... it will make the sim better, etc. IMHO, leave flight simming!

Don't mean to come off rude, just my opinions.

[jboweruk]

Don't think you come over rude at all Brad, just honest, and I like that. Of course a long flight is going to get boring, such is the way of
long flights, the only thing they're really good for is upping your hours and money. As to a 1 hour flight in a 747 being unrealistic; is it? You
sure about that? Japan Airlines run a 747 between the Hawaiian Islands and that is on a regular scheduled flight.

For me I like to fly towards a purpose, FSP has given me a purpose unlike anything before, even a VA never felt quite the same somehow.
Now I'm flying small SEP's with a goal to reach something bigger with enough money in the kitty to buy it. Once that happens I'm off on a
Round the World trip with a view to buying some aircraft in Europe and having a second division of my airline. Eventually I will (I hope)
purchase such things as 737's etc. right up to and including Concorde and A380's. That for me will be interesting. On longer hauls with
FSHotseat running as well I can chill to my favourite MP3's and the sound of my co-pilot letting me know it's getting bumpy or that the vis
is going. I flew a 4 hour haul last night, and that should have been 3.5 hours but hit a headwind the whole route (512 miles in a Beech
A36) and having to watch the plane in case anything went wrong, I was shattered after that, but happy when I finally got down and safe at
the end.

yes i agree perfectly.... personaly i enjoy the long hauls although currently my shedule has limited me to about 2hrs a hop i prefer
the 7-8 hour hops generally... although i usually fly the dc-3 and only the dc-3 (my little obsesion) i'll fly anything if in a group .... my only
thin against fspassengers isn't really against the the addon itself more of my understanding of it.... i keep getting pilot penalties for such
things as flaps light etc and i don't know what are governing these rules so as to fly by them all i really wanna know is where to find out nd
the help file doesn't help much in this issue i know i went off topic but its what was on my mind.....

[Kstinson]

I'm Sorry that you're bored by my program but what you ask is almost impossible without
the hand on Fs2004 real code and even with it it would be a major work of another years
(I would say two three years for what you asking exactly... by this time Fs2008 might be out)

Not to mention you would need a highly advanced artificial intelligence system so that you can interact with the passengers. But I'm sure
Microsoft will give that to you if you were to ask nicely.

[Passenger57]

Some probably nice niche product (free):

It is called "inflight entertainment system" The Author, Matt Caine, describes it as follows:

'It's a set of web pages which replace the key-commands section of your in-flight kneeboard. It includes an MP3 player, newsfeeds, an image viewer,
web and email access, and some games. '

So, maybe those pesky long-hauls can be filled with something to look at while periodically checking Your aircraft...

Download FS Active Crapper from http://www.activecrapper.com .. It'll allow you to enter the toilets of the aircraft, operate the toilet-seat, and even flush. The flush
typical "swooooooooosshhh" is synchronized with the flush-handle..
have fun.
