Fspassengers Fsx Steam

Apr 4, 2015 - The new FsPassengersX 2015 compatible with FSX STEAM is here!

Earlier I finally took the plunge and tried out Fspassengers. I started up a flight from KSEA (Seattle) to KGEG (Spokane) in the Cessna 172. I only got one passenger, a 60 year old man. When we departed I chose to fly IFR and the tower instructed me to climb to 13,000. Everything was fine until we got past 10,000. The pressure danger started rising as did that old man's fear. And, wouldn't you know it that ATC would not let me decrease my altitude.

Those guys are evil I tell ya! I just aborted the whole flight and then later realized that I should have just canceled the IFR and continue VFR. Vatsim can seem intimidating. I fly GA on vatsim using VFR in non-congested areas.

Bakugan episodes. My problem with IFR on vatsim is that I am concentrating so much on flying the plane that reacting to instructions sometimes causes me not to notice something I should have paid attention to. Also, I rarely do flights for the VA I fly for on Vatsim since if I screw up and some on thinks I'm an idiot, I don't mind, but I won't have them think of, 'That idiot who flies for Pacific Airways'. I suspected you filed your flight plan with too high an altitude, but I'm surprised the ATC wouldn't clear you to a lower flight level. While I don't always get the one I want, I've never been flat out refused. However, if ATC was screwed up, the solution was to declare an emergency in FSP, discontinue IFR (assuming conditions warranted) and contine the flight VFR, descending to a safe altitude and finding a nearby airport.

And if you include a 'new at this, may need some help' remark in your flight plan, you'll get all the help you need and more. It's very enjoyable - too much so to be missing out! My flights have been getting closer to civilization, so sooner or later, I will get to interact with a controller. I actually have flown a Beech 1900D out of KLAX when no controllers were online, but the fact that there were SWA and UPS planes at the airport made me nervous enough that my takeoff was.well, let's just say it was interesting.

Of course there were two flights in desolate regions of the world where I didn't survive. I'm not certain how I'd like it if someone were watching. You worry too much =p It's really nothing. As for starting, sign up with VATSIM (free registration). You will get a VATSIM ID and a password, both numerical (for example 123246 and 546754). Then download FSINN or Squawkbox 3 (I would recommend the former). Both links can be found on the VATSIM site.

Also get ServInfo from avsim.com (search for the name as I spelled it). This nifty little program will show you who is online where. Controllers, flights etc. Then go ahead and start a flight at a controlled airport (NOT on the active, but at a gate, remember that) and run FSINN, then connect (it's really easy). Sit there and listen to the traffic for a few sessions, see how you like it. If you have specific questions, let us know.

1) Time compression is not allowed. Possible exception over the Atlantic, but even then, people disconnect, fly their route at 16x or whatever, then reconnect over the coast of Ireland (or wherever their exit point is). In general, if you want to use time compression disconnect then reconnect. Always fly 1x while on VATSIM. 2) Busiest time is usually evenings in each region. Meaning in Europe I'd say around 1800Z (6 pm GMT or so), USA around the same time but Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific as you move further west etc) 3) Yes, you need to submit a flight plan.

I suppose if you're flying in uncontrolled space you don't.have. to, but it's good practice, not to mention it's fun for people to look you up on ServInfo and see where you're going and how instead of 'No Flight Plan filed'. That having been said, controllers will ask you for a FP if they don't see one, but will be willing to help, so don't worry. For VFR flights again, file a flight plan, but of course it can contain landmarks etc. (For example 'Departure south, then over harbor, Ellis island, around the statue of liberty, north, approach from the west for landing' is an acceptable VFR flight plan. You can leave it blank, but a controller may ask 'What are your intentions?'

If that happens, answer ). Okay, I tried and failed.

I was parked at KSBD logged onto vatsim and filed a VFR flight plan for my C337D to KVNY. A simple flight of 62 nm. As I sat there listening to Los Angeles Center handling traffic, mostly in and out of KLAX, I decided they were too busy as it was, and logged off. I flew the flight offline with the built in ATC.

I was still so nervous that when I heard my call sign, I almost panicked. The worst part is that both KSBD and KVNY had no controllers online. All I had to do is request VFR clarance and fly. Crash, I am a controller with ZLA. We control the airspace in and around Southern California. Los Angeles Center may seem intimidating, but you have to remember that we are all real people also. We make mistakes just like the pilots do.

As long as follow our directions, you will get along fine. If you ever feel like getting acquainted to VATSIM, you can give me an email at. Id be more than happy to staff one of the small GA airports in Southern California and get you used to VATSIM.

Also, If anyone else here would like to also get used to flying online we could make an event out of it. The other pilots wouldn't intimidate you because you would allready know them from the forums.

Just send me an email and I will try to get something set up. Thanks, Matt.

Okay, the third time was a charm.sort of. A couple of times, I chickened out after filing my flight plan. So I figured I'd go to KPSP and fly to KSBD since I know that valley like the back of my hand. A good thing, too. FS started crashing if I used the flight planner. To make a long story short seems up to his ears in things to do and a couple of cranky pilots, to boot. So I type in my vfr request and get told to taxi to 31L which I finally find after 15 minuts.

At this point the controller is giving notice he is shutting down in a couple of minutes. So, everybody is trying to get their requests in. Rather than fight my way in on voice, I type in my t/o request, which seems to get lost and he goes offline since his relief didn't come on line.

With no controller I notify my intent and t/o. I fly by hand to KSBD and land safely. Not much, but it is a start.

Hello everyone! Something strange with FsPassengers!!!:blink: Look, when I showed for passengers my custom 'EMIRATES Safety Video' I taxi to runway and take-offed from UUEE to UUDD (It's My test flight with my POSKY 777-200) I started to show movies after take-off and after few seconds, FSX crashed to desktop without freezing, restarting FSX and Windows Fatal Error!

I thought it's my house lose electric power, but it didn't.:huh: I've always this inside my house! I cannot register to FsPassengers forum, because I've forbidden to access this page error! I had only one problem is FsPassengers crash to desktop after loading passengers. Because I didn't install FSX SP1 & SP2, but now I'm having FSX Gold Edition. I always turn on movie after cabin crew said: Ladies and Gentlemen! Captain turned off seatbel sign.

We recommend to keep your seatbelt fastened while sitting. It's with Seatbelt (AUTO), but now I must manage seatbelt sign. I didn't had this problem with 'You must manage seatbelt sign' option. But I used Russian Sound Pack. I always turn off seatbelt after 10000ft.
