• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 AviaPAX (WIP)

AviaPAX1.jpg


This is AviaPAX - a "Lite" passenger simulation and experience addon for MSFS

No complicated 3rd party software to mess about with - this addon keeps your focus entirely within the simulator as it is run by the in game toolbar menus - this toolbar menu can be closed...it is persistent!

Key Features:
* Individual, 50 point personality per passenger (Personality generated for each passenger, based on passenger count)
* Cabin and Passenger only events that require input/guidance from the captain, or in worse case, a diversion
* Cabin Services (Serve Passengers) and Cabin Maintanence (When Required)
* SimBrief Integration - Pulls SimBrief Flight Plans for quick entry on Flight Setup
* GSX Integration - Can be used to call Catering, Cleaning and Lavatory service trucks as well as initiating boarding, pushback and deboarding
* Cabin and Crew Sounds
* Realistic, dynamic passenger events
* Events can esculate or de-esculate, depending on other factors
* Flight Summary at the end of every flight - total time, flight time, distance, passengers flown, average mood and satisfaction AND landing rating!
* Basic Pilot summary in the main menu

Addon aircraft compatible: PMDG 737, PMDG 777, FBW A320, FBW A380, Fenix A320, JF F28 & all default aircraft (this list will constantly be updated)

Passengers react to what they feel, hear and see - they may not necessarily react to pilot mistakes, for example, forgetting the Beacon light (Although Frequent Flyers MAY notice this)

To get all this passenger data - I used real world statistics from 2024-2025 to determine age groups, vulnerabilities etc

No two flights will be the same - passengers wont always react the same way - for example.. they may not notice one steep turn compared to lots of abrupt control input
Got lots of children on board? not all passengers will be happy
Got sports fans on board? are they drunk? can they be controlled?
Do we have enough food and drinks onboard for passengers?
Is the toilet working and sanitary?
If there is a altercation on board, do we have any Police or Security on board to help the situation?
Likewise, if there is a medical emergency, do we have a doctor on board to increase the chance of a better outcome, or will they reccomend we divert ASAP, does the pilot listen, or not, and risk punctuality?

These are just some of the questions you will be asking yourself when using AviaPAX
There is a LOT more to come and a LOT more to cover

Open and welcome to any ideas but remember, this is a passenger simulation and experience app, not an airline/cabin crew manager

Many Thanks!

Some more previews of the toolbar menus

SimBrief username can be set in the Settings page (not shown here)
What I show here is active flight, flight summary, main menu, flight history and flight setup


Cabin Stock decreases as they serve passengers
Cabin Cleanliness decreases through out a flight, more so during and after service
Lavatory condition will also decrease
All of these can be serviced when on the ground.. just make sure it doesn't make the next flight late!
