August 3Aug 3 Ngl, this is one impressive addon. I love it! If possible, I'd like to be able to have a profile because I know I will log a lot of flights through this
August 3Aug 3 I’ve tried this and think it’s brilliant! Great job, very useful. I have requested adding premium economy to the pax calculations for a future update.

I edit that value manually, but sometimes forget to do so ;). Simbrief usually gives me the typical seat capacity for the aircraft but, as you say, it can vary from fleet to fleet.I wonder if there's an AI tool that could query airfleets.net and populate a database for you.I've added some default values for all types, so it has some solid numbers for every type even one does not change the capacity. And yes AI did come in very handy for that.If you want the exact numbers for your livery / registration, go look it up on airfleets.net for each flight. They vary wildly. E.g. right now in the sim I'm flying an A35K with 480 (!) seats, all economy, Air Caraibes. The ini A35K itself stops at 367 pax maximum :D Creator of: Realistic Pax & Cargo (RPC)For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

I still have to think about that for a bit longer. I'm not even sure if there's any actual seat (leg room, entertainment system etc.) difference for Premium Economy vs Economy, I always felt like it's "Economy plus a bit more service (meals etc.)", but the same seat.

If so, I'll add it to the backlog. I won't do any login/registration stuff, I want to keep it as accessible and easy to use as possible, but I think I can work something out with the local storage in the browser.

Am I wrong?Yeah I guess it doesn't really change much, I was thinking of the Emirates A359 specifically; 32 Business, 21 PE and 259 economy (312 total) as opposed to a Cathay that has 38/28/214 (total 280). But if the totals are editable in the app that makes my request pointless and you can concentrate on other issues!🙂

Is that good? Or did you need something else saved too? Creator of: Realistic Pax & Cargo (RPC)For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.

August 6Aug 6 Playing around with it- can you clarify how the "Events" section works? I get the prompt automatically copied, and then just copy/paste the entire google AI output and put that in the free text box? Do I then just close the window or is the limited use "request AI suggestions" button necessary? I don't see anywhere in the output when I generate the payload that it has used the suggested events in it's calculations.

I don't see anywhere in the output when I generate the payload that it has used the suggested events in it's calculations.After pasting the entire google AI output into the text box, press "request AI suggestions".Basically:- The first prompt (google AI e.g.) searches for real life / real world "live" events. That's what you put in the textbox.- The button then uses the internal AI to analyze the real life events, consider whether they would create a significant statistical outlier for the pax or cargo on this specific flight and - if so - generate proper "events" with the corresponding modifiers.Hope that makes it clear. I will see to make the UI a bit more clear there when I have time :)EDIT: You can also just click the button directly without any context in the textbox. It will still use the AI's knowledge, just not things like concerts or sports matches or current crisis (Iran), as the knowledge of the (internal) AI version is cutoff at the beginning of 2026 currently AFAIK.

This is 100% one of the best features I've seen in flightsim in a long time. I love that I can change the date of the prompt and get info about what was happening in the world back when I'm doing a historical flight from 2012 or 2018 as well. Thanks for all your work.

Thanks for all your work.Yes that's actually why I implemented it in the first place - I like to do historical flights sometimes from the "good old" times and this really helps with immersion :)As for the request limit - we are currently still far away from the free tier limit, so I might take the info out for now or change it. Normally clicking 1x per flight per person is enough, as the second time would only create duplicate events. So no need to worry, just play around with it for a bit. The limit is a daily limit so at worst you are stopping the function for anybody else for 24h, but you're not making me pay something or so :) But as said, currently there's enough room to play around with it Creator of: Realistic Pax & Cargo (RPC)For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.
