Fs Passengers - 2nd report

Featured Replies

I have now owned FsPassengers for a week and I am still amazed at the incredible moaning mumping passengers I am forced to carry!I mean, look, I take you into town, saving you extortionate airport taxi fares! Bypassing the terminal and overshooting the runway can be seen as a positive thing!Can you not hold your liquor? Three/four drinks and your are falling about!What bad weather? What turbulence? Tis but a slight breeze! Wait till I take you into Innsbruck in the winter, now that is fun!If airport authorities decide to place buildings in front of me as I turn of taxiway, its not my fault. So 19 of you died, 100 lived including aircrew, so why complain?That eejit in a Lear that overtook us on approach deserved to be rear ended!ATC, is at best just a suggestion to me. It means to me All Terrified Cretins, so would you want me to follow their advice?737's can do amazing things. They even have reverse thrust. OK mine does not as I cannot get joystick to do a reverse thrust, but the fun of braking from 220 to 0 in 4000 feet is great for anyone suffering from constipation.My major complaint about FS Passengers is that it finally brings accountability to FS flying. Grudgingly I have to admit this is a good thing, as each flight do is now watched carefully, with sweary words abounding at Pilots report at end of flight!(lol)Sad to say last five flights have been reported as Perfect!

Hi Ronald,Great stuff, helped me get through the morning with a smile!!This one floored me:- "That eejit in a Lear that overtook us on approach deserved to be rear ended!":-lol :-lolBrilliant!! Makes me wanna go git Fspassenger and take it for a loop or two.Jay

you can use reverse thrust without a joystick, just hold down F2!

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!When I press and hold F2, it cycles on and off. Am I supposed to let go of the key? Then it deactivates. The Vevevieones 609B is the only FS9 plane I know of that got the reversers right, prop RPM is mapped to the condition lever so you go to beta then advance the throttle. Then reduce throttle as you slow, when at idle come out of beta to ground idle. Makes a lot of sense, since FS9 doesn't seem to be able to handle turboprop RPM very well they used the mapping for something better. Why can't you just deploy reversers or engage beta and advance the throttle to the level you want? I try that and start accelerating again. Life is full of compromises I guess, different sims do different stuff better.Best Regards, Donny:-wave
