I just bought AirHauler 2 as I have become impatient for the best of all possible flight companion/career addons, that being FSCaptain.  AH2 has very rudamentary 'flight monitoring' features (nothing compared to FSCaptain), but beyond that it is to me ultimately a glorified spreadsheet.  I think I will use it, but as I really don't have a need to 'manage an airline company' per se, and I currently only use it for their 'Ad Hoc' flights, and be try to be happy with their one rather poorly done preflight safety announcement, and their very crude flight quality evaluation routine.  I really loved FSCaptain which was the perfect balance of in-flight enhancement and a simpler but good enough career feature in P3D but alas they're still aways out for a version for MSFS so looking for something to enrich those longer airline flights and tie me over untl FSCaptain arrives.  I used one of the first FSPasssengers way back when.

I think self loading cargo https://www.selfloadingcargo.com/ is what you are looking for

Neofly is pretty good for shorter flights; it's great for a bush operation in Papua for instance. Not sure how well it scales to an airline operation, but has some fun evolution types for smaller aircraft. Free so maybe worth a try.

+1 for Neofly. It monitors your flight and punishes you for hard landings or too much bank, depending on the mission:

• Delicate cargo gets damaged or even destroyed if you land too hard
• VIP's don't like high bank angles and even start to scream if you push it.
• If damage is turned on, you could find yourself looking for a place to land sooner than expected.
• If turned on, passengers can request a destination change. Sometimes the police can too😉
• You can manage an FBO, but you can also disregard this entirely.

It's not perfect, and IIRC FSPassengers still was ahead of this but it's better than most alternatives and it is free.

Thanks Andrew and Orch but it's pretty much commercial airliners so have avoided Neofly.

It looks like this is for Xplane, no?  How developed is it for MSFS do you know?

Supports MSFS as well and many of us have been using it in MSFS

 

I use SLC. It's okay. A lot of issues I have with it are due to be fixed in version 1.6, but that version has been "3 weeks away" since 2020.
