Amazing. Very impressive!

Just watched your video of your flight. Thinking about plunging in... just a couple of things:

• The website mentiones "Payment plan". But it's not a subscription, right?

• As others have mentioned, aircraft specific messages from the crew would be nice. For instance in-flight entertainment systems should probably only be mentioned on specific airframes? :)

• Would be nice (for immersion) if airline alliance would be part of the crew/pilot announcements. In your case with Lufthansa, mentioning Star Alliance as well (as they typically do) would be a nice immersion addtition, IMO.

A part from the above - great work! Very impressive. Looking forward to following your development.

Thank you very much, really appreciated.

And yes, just to clarify: SimPassengers is not a subscription. The “payment plan” wording on the website may be a bit confusing, so we’ll take a look at that and make it clearer. So actually you pay it once, and own it forever.

Aircraft-specific announcements are a very good point. This is exactly the kind of detail we want to improve over time, because some messages only make sense for specific aircraft types or configurations. And I just doubled checked the development pipeline, it's already there but not much this kind of detailed.

Same for airline alliances. Adding things like Star Alliance, SkyTeam or oneworld references to airline-specific announcement profiles would definitely add a nice layer of immersion. And wowww! This is a very good idea. Let me see what we can do about this.

Thanks again for the kind words and the useful feedback.

Just finished watching your video. Very nice work so far. Apart from some minor errors in the speed and altitude announcement (speed is announced as 20 kts and altitude is 35 ft) this is looking very nice.

One thing I really miss in flightsim is - and this is only a suggestion and probably beyond the scope of this app - a window, which would simulate the IFE flight status page (which passengers see). With altitude, speed, ETA etc. It also featured a map with the current plane location and a origin and destination mapped out. In the good ol' FSX days, there was an addon called feelThere Map! which did exactly this. Was a really nice addition and immersion (at least I thought so). Oh, boy I'm getting old... :)

Anyway, sorry for getting off topic! Great work and very nice work so far. Looking forward to future updates.

Hi Anders,

Thank you very much for the kind words.

You are right about the speed and altitude announcements. We noticed that as well, and it is on our list. Some values are being read too literally at the moment, so we need to make that part sound more natural.

And your IFE flight status page idea is not off topic at all. Actually, we had already experimented with something similar internally.

SimPassengers already has a lot of flight data behind the scenes, such as route, phase, altitude, speed, ETA, origin, destination and aircraft position. So a passenger-facing flight status window with a moving map would fit very naturally with what we are trying to build.

I also remember that kind of map feeling from older addons, and I agree, it adds a lot to the immersion. It is exactly the kind of feature that can make the aircraft feel more alive from the passenger side, not just from the cockpit.

I cannot promise a date for it yet, because we are still focusing on stability and the core flight experience first, but this is definitely something we want to explore for a future update.

Thanks again for the suggestion and for taking the time to watch the video. And this is not off-topic, this is really on-topic. But one final note, we're just limited with what the aircraft developers are giving us. So anyways... We'll look into this! <3

With love and Blue skies,
