Is there a cargo only version or cargo repaint? I somewhat despise passenger operations because they make me feel like a bus driver.

There might be in the AVSIM file library, but there is no cargo variant of the NG modeled by us - it would be repaint only.

There are quite a few here in the AVSIM library, FedEx, UPS, North American Air Cargo, and several others.

Woudn't a cargo variant just make you feel like a removal truck driver then? :smile:

No. I would feel like a pilot that owns the plane and has a certain responsibilty. Cargo is modeled more frequently by developers as well so pax stuff is just boring to me.

If you want to feel more like it's an owner operated aircraft why not try a private (BBJ) repaint? There are a bunch of those as well in the AVSIM library. Search for repaints by Rich Sennett and Steve Stubbs, among others.

"Cargo is modeled more frequently by developers"? Forgive me if I misunderstand this, but we see many more passenger-carrying aircraft than cargo-specific ones. The cargo versions are usually additions to the main pax version. And also, why would you feel like you "own the plane"? Cargo pilots are just like airline pilots, and both do not own their aircraft and have just as much responsibility as pilots carrying pax. In fact, I'd argue that pilots of passenger aircraft have more responsibility, as they have hundreds of people behind them, not just boxes.

 

I'm not trying to put down your preferences at all.  If you exclusively like flying cargo, that's great! (Better on FPS, too, as a lot of your flying will be done at night  :BigGrin: ). I'm just trying to understand your statements here.
