It seems PACX although shallow and could use some work on how the passengers and crew act and/or move around the cabin is still the only program that does this correctly.

Have you tried self loading cargo? Does exactly what you describe

Self Loading Cargo has alot of the same gimmicks that have the pilot do flight attendant duties although you can turn automation on which is nice. I'm personally waiting for 1.7 when he finally adds emergencies or passenger issues. Its current state still doesn't appeal to me at the moment but his roadmap in 1.7 and 1.8 does have things I desire. Question is how long will we have to wait for 😅

 

What do you think of it so far? Have you been enjoying it? Seems we all have been waiting for an update forever but there hasn't been much chatter about SLC

SLC in its default mode has you doing only what a real pilot would do. The flight attendant does everything else. You can do all of things that a flight attendant wouldn’t but there’s nothing forcing you to and it’s not even the default mode.

It’s great, since 1.6 none of the other solutions provide this experience.

What do you mean with compatible?

It says in the FAQ: Passenger2 will detect each phase of the flight from pushback to arrival. During boarding, you can set the boarding time in minutes however, you can speed up or slow down boarding at any time to help sync this stage with GSX.

It is just what you call compatible, I mean does it automate all GSX so you don't have to open GSX menu's?

The lack of VR integration seems like a fairly large downside. Being able to scale fonts or windows so they are legible in VR is important.

I have bought this SLC. It is in 1.6.2.2- version and there are a lot of things that doesn't work, f.e. the seatbelt sign control. The main dev there (Stevie) is very arrogant and when asking help for this issue (also!), just replied that in his computer the sign works ok, and ´read the manual' comments. After that I was banned from their Discord channel for a week, obviously for the sake "of learning to behave". To me the main dev and creator seems to be a despot who cares only for the praise of his extravagnza app, which it is not at the moment. Constant updates and errors in operations, endless support calls which are answered as I mentioned. 

Even if the app would operate normally (like f.e. PACX) without too much hassle, I will never ever use it anymore because of the obnoxious attitude from the developer.

I dunno seatbelt sign control works for me.

SLC is exceedingly well developed, nearly flawless despite a very intricate set of dependencies.  I think it's already a masterpiece.  The dev has been very responsive to emailed questions.  His User Manual is extensive, very easy to follow, and I love the built-in Score Checklist which is very helpful aid as you get using to managing not just the plane (APL, PACX, AH2, etc) but also the crew, both cabin and ground.   It's the best $$ I've spent on any addon, period.  Yes, the seatbelt control works fine, always.  I am having an issue w/ SLC not recognizing the state of Landing Lights in the PMDG 738, no issues w/ FBW 320NX, which the dev is looking into right now, but in the interim it's a simple matter to disable that aspect of scoring for now.  I've seen no addon of this nature that is as complete and the Settings Tab is a marvel in itself--the dev has thought of so many things.   PACX had potential, but it's beyond "simple", it's flat out lame by comparison to SLC.
