I have a question regarding FSPassenger. How does it work with flightplans? Does FSPassenger generate the flightplans you are supposed to fly? If so how good and realistic plans are generated?Or do we create our flightplans self? Or maybe both are possible?

hiyou got it..what you do is1 create a flightplan in fs2004.go to starting airport2 at gate you start FSpassengers from it own menu3 load passengers and freight.also enough fuel4 turn seatbelts and music on (music keeps passengers happy)5 prepare aircraft for departure(its up to you how difficult you want it to be}there are different settings you can change.6 contact fs2004 ATC and follow instructions as normal to complete your journey7 while in flight passengers can eat,drink or watch a film.8 once flight is finished,you are rated and awarded cash and points.so you can move up the promotion ladder.It does use the Fs2004 flight planner,but i've always found it very good.i've only touched briefly on what Fspassengers does.i very rarely fly without it now. steve

It doesn't generate flight plans. You enter the destination airport which is necessary to evaluate your flight performance in the end (that you made it there in one piece!). FSPassenger is merely an interface which works alongside the route you've created with some other flight planner although a flight plan is not necessary per se except the destination airport of course. You can hand fly vor to vor or gps etc.

Just to add to what others have said: FS Passengers does have one subtle influence on flight plans: Your company's reputation (and therefore passenger load and attraction grows the more you fly out of the same airport (i.e., the more familiar your airline is at that airport). Thus, there is a incentive to fly between a few airports or a hub and airports repeatedly. This is completely up to you however.This might sound boring, but FsP prevents this because you get focused on the quality of your flights (arriving on time, burning fuel efficiently, keeping passengers happy, handling emergencies correctly, building pilots' careers, etc.)I locate real world commercial flights from www.flightaware.com for the aircraft type I fly and use those flight plans in FsP. Most folks in FsP flight "heavies" but I fly light GA, as an air charter ferrying 2-4 tourists or VIPs to rural or satellite airports. Flying well and being frugal have helped me turn a profit. The big boys fly 200 ppl across the pond etc.It gets pretty absorbing actually, and I never thought I would say that!

>1 create a flightplan in fs2004.go to starting airportI assume hope that I also can create the flightplan in a add on flightplanner program, and save that plan as a standard FS2004 flightplan?>6 contact fs2004 ATC and follow instructions as normal to>complete your journeyAgain I hope assume I can use RC4 which I just got and from what I can see greatly enhances ATC in FS2004. Actually I consider default ATC useless at least for IFR flights.

>I locate real world commercial flights from>www.flightaware.com for the aircraft type I fly and use thoseI just recently found out about this link. You rarely encounter links that are such a goldmine. What I have missed before.

Indeed. A goldmine. I love that site. As I mentioned, you can learn the flight plans to-from your favorite airport or by aircraft type, etc. Gives you a feel how the pros do their flight plans. If you look closely, and compare to a chart, you can see how they address airspace etc. It is also interesting how the flights to-from an airport select approaches or arrivals.
