noob when it comes to technology

Hello,
I just want to say that fspassengerx work on fsxse on Windows 10 64bits from the actual pre-release of windows 10 at this date on the 64bits.

Everything is fine and work like a charm.

Hi Dan,

I don't know exactly how FsP calculates the benefits generated by a flight but as it is, it really doesn't encourage the pilot to run long flights. Basically a 4hours flight yields
quite the same than a 10hours flight with the same airplane. Is there anything that can be done about this ?

Thanks.

Hi!

Is this the place to keep track of if / when FSPassengers for P3D will be released? I was hoping that maybe we could do some kind of
seprate sticky thread?

[Larvik1974]

Hello Dan. Great work you have done with FSPX-15 But there is something I miss in this great software of yours and that is following:

-Opportunely to save flights because in some scenario where you have to restart FSX/FSX-SE because VAS is going to be full (4 GB). Normally I save my flights when VAS is about 3,4-3,5 GB where I often are on approach. FSUIPCS is great to save flights but it's
not included FS Passengers unfortunately

-Opportunely to sell Duty-free to passengers as in real life like tobacco, liqueur, beer, and some other normal duty-free goods. Many airline have big
income of this kind of sale.

-Make passenger less sensitive to turbulence. When they see a cloud, then they start screaming when the plane actually is stable.

-Normally when you have a airplane, you also need a base station to it. So it would be great if it was a rule that you have to get the plane to the base to take service and others minor repairing, except things like broken gear wheel that you normally have to fix on that airport you have the airplane. Maybe have a opportunely that you have to visit the base before you have reached every 5 flights because it's where the plane belong to.

That is only few ideas I have to this great software of yours to be even better.

Best regards from Paul.

Hi
any news concerning the dev progress on p3d?
thanks

[fscamp]

Some news would be indeed good, I hope the development is going on behind the scenes. Of course Dan has no obligation to develop this product further, but Prepar3d
compatibility and some new features could easily make it by far the best airline simulation out there.

[njwatkins1]

Any News? Why has the P3D thread been locked and not sticky as promised? Has Dan abandoned the FSP3D project? I'd like to get some more information on the P3D
version. I am looking to buy the P3D version but if it's not going to be out this year, I'll just go with FSP15 for now. I'm using just P3D at the moment, but switching back to
FSX is something I'd rather not do, however will if P3D version is more than 6 months out.

Dan anxiously awaiting your update...Thanks in advance!

Nobody has gotten and P3D news since I've joined about a month ago. I think that it is safe to say that P3D version will take over 6 months. If you don't like
the normal Microsoft fsx then you can get the steam edition by dove tail games. The steam edition comes with all of the fsx acceleration stuff already and
fspax is compatible!

Development News

While working on fuel functions I detected a BUG with the 2015 version.

-Fuel failures weren't working properly (fuel leak etc), it's strange because I had no report of such bug !?
-It was probably causing also the bug message with PMDG aircrafts (I can't check yet , I don't have PMDG)

I'll probably release a new Steam & FSX version within 15 day after a short public beta test.
I made so much changes to the code due to Prepar3D, it's better to check all again before an official release

[DanSteph]

The lastest version dated from november 16 is now online.

Version released: 20151116

BUGS SOLVED:
-Fuel message after take-off with PMDG aircrafts.
-Problems with fuel failures - No fuel failures, possible worse problems. (CTD)
-Mini panel lost outside windows in some cases.
-Passengers don't yell anymore on ground whith turbulences (rare case).

NEW FEATURES:
-More options for the boarding delay (up to 60 minutes now).
-Mini panel recall it's last position.

Nice job Dan
