• 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.

Hi all

I have been searching for an alternative for fsxpassenger and have not found anything.
There are many softwares that I am aware of which basically use sound and modify payload to simulate passenger and cargo but nothing is close to what I am about to develop.

Fs captain would be close to the new version of Fsx passenger.

I am looking for people willing to help in the creation of this new add on to simulate a realistic passenger,cargo,airport,airline environment.

1. Simulate worldwide passenger and cargo for all destinations and aircrafts
2. Real time simulation of airport activities, taking into account weather and ai traffic
3. Flight schedule with a dispatch system (ground crew) able to communicate with pilots (weather info,traffic info,passenger checking info and other)
4.Realistic fleet management including scheduled maintenance at certain hubs or stops
5.Realistic airport fees, counter,office,lounge,maintenance and other
6.Realistic flight environment,including emergencies and delays along with financial penalties
7.Realistic ground crew able to direct passengers or and cargo to the correct gate/ramp of departing Ai aircraft

As you can see this is not totally new however it is going to take some time to put together.
The main new feature would be the fact that this standalone program is able to identify ai traffic with your airline colour and able to compute the revenue or loss generated by this airline.

This project is yet to be developped and anyone willing to help is welcome.
The release date for the beta version is scheduled for Monday 9th March 2015.

Please mention which sections you are able to work.
Any additional ideas would be welcome this is freeware and therefore no financial incentives offered for the time being.
 
Would "you" be a pilot, a manager, both?, what kind of jobs could you expect to find in the airline?, would you be able to join other Ai airlines?, what about user created ones?, how flexible would be the options on the economic side?.
 
You would be both manager and pilot.
Jobs within the airline would be flexible, initially pax and cargo flights you would chose whichever based on the type of aircraft you would be flying.
You would have the option to create your own airline from scratch or for those of you with ai traffic would be able to join one and customise the economics of this ai.( this is the difficult part so far implementing this is a real challenge.)
The focus will be on flying therefore the economic options will be basic at the beginning.
Any ideas are welcomed.
 
What is your contribution to the project? Lead programmer?

While the ultimate goal does sound nice, especially for freeware, it might be better to not announce fixed release dates before you have any solid code for the project.
Start in small steps as well. You don't need a hybrid aircraft-airport-airline manager when you can't even work with loading fuel and payload into FSX aircraft yet.
So get the aircraft part of the tool right first before you expand into other operational areas.
 
I was gonna say. A beta release two months in, while you have no code?

That would be a grand undertaking for a battle-hardened full-time team of programmers...
 
So basically you want to do a free and upgraded FSPassangersX... :D

I can't do programming but if this ever gets to the point where you need graphical design for the interface PM me :D
 
Citizen,

That is a grand idea. You're talking about combining the feature sets of FSPassengersX, FSCaptain (there is already a product by that name, did you know?), Air Hauler, and Ground Services X plus some more graphics concerning airport offices, lounges, and other areas so no has ever done before. That would be a product that would fulfill the dreams of many a flight simmer.

But...you either made a typo in your projected beta date, or you don't have much experience in software development. It should be 9th March 2017. And even that would be ambitious with a team of crack FS programmers and designers.

I'll be glad to put my humble skills in programming to help you with such an ambitious project. I mainly program in Javascript and VBA but am keen to learn and apply ideas in other programing software too.
