need to amend my review - fspassengers is still just fine. just wanted to say that so is fscaptain - turns out the weather/winds work just fine in the mcdu - i just didn't set it up correctly at first. also the custom load maps work as they should if you edit them correctly which i didn't at first. i really like both fspassengers and fscaptain and they both work as advertised. my mistake.
yes i know this product is 10 years old and no longer has tech support but i bought the competitor's product and after 3 days of trying to get the autopilot v/s and alt hold to work and the same for the fuel management i bought this. you don't need tech support if everything works as advertised (and it does). i gave it 4 stars because the sun visor sometimes is down when i load a flight and there is no way to get it to go back up other than reload/restart the aircraft/flight respectively.
without a doubt the best add-on i have ever purchased for fs2004/fsx - be it aircraft, scenery, utilites, flight planners, whatever. only drawback is occasional white screen flash as weather (re)sets.
Really starting to like this program after using it for a while. My only complaints are voicetext and weather do not work correctly in fs2004 but work fine in fsx.
Good deal, lots of missions. Approach charts are "lite" versions though.
Not bad - and fsx and fs9 versions too. Only complaint in fs9 one voice is always slo-mo.
I got tired of all the bugs in fscaptain notably not recognizing fs9 weather or metar files even with the congratulations! message and improper fuel/cargo/pax loading even with custom load maps. This program worked flawlessly from the beginning. It does not retrieve weather (metar/taf/winds aloft) but it never claimed to either. The payload dialogue is excellent. It is also very strict about flying by the rules - if you want it to be.
