Hey everyone,

We’ve been live just over a month with Passenger2x, a new add-on that brings airline ownership and passenger immersion to Microsoft Flight Simulator. If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own airline - shaping passenger experiences, making strategic decisions, and flying the routes you create - this is for you.

As we begin shaping our 2026 roadmap, we’d love to hear from the community:

  • Current users - What’s missing? What would make your experience even better?

  • Non-users - What would you expect from an add-on like this? What’s held you back?

Your feedback will help us improve Passenger2x and make it even more rewarding for the sim community.

:bullseye: What makes it different?

  • Strategic depth: Set policies, manage loyalty systems, and grow your brand.

  • Immersive feedback: Passengers react to your decisions.

  • Global reach: Supports ICAO codes worldwide.

  • Visual polish: Tutorial, localized UI, and modern design.

Start Your Airline
Begin with a bank loan and a dream. Buy aircraft, choose your brand, and build your airline from the ground up. Every flight earns money, reputation, and loyal passengers who shape your success.

Fly the Routes You Create
You decide where to fly, when to fly, and how to serve your passengers. Build your own network, then take the pilot’s seat and fly the routes yourself.

Serve, Entertain, Impress
Choose meals, entertainment, and cabin experience. From budget snacks to luxury menus, your service choices affect passenger happiness—and your reputation.

Loyalty That Pays
Create and manage your own air mile club. Reward frequent flyers, track satisfaction, and build a loyal customer base that fuels your growth.

Real Decisions, Real Impact
Fuel prices, delays, moods, aircraft wear—Passenger2x makes you think like a real airline manager. Every flight is a mix of strategy, service, and realism.

Your Airline, Your Way
Customize everything—fleet, service style, brand identity. Whether you want a luxury airline or a low-cost empire, Passenger2x gives you full control.

This forum has consistently been more constructive than others, so if you’ve got ideas, we’d love to hear them. If not, thanks for reading and happy flying!

Non-user feedback:

What I want more than anything in an addon in the category is one that is not so tailored towards airliners/airlines. I don’t fly them (with the exception of the F28 at times), and most apps (I know there are some exceptions) are geared towards them. I want there to be plenty to do with small aircraft with no need to “progress” towards airliners for folks like me who just aren’t interested in them. From the description this sounds like another airline management program which isn’t for me, and it feels like a pretty crowded space already. I’d ask the question, what’ll draw people to this over OnAir?

My main interest is ownership of my aircraft with location persistence and (ideally) condition persistence which is something I’ve only seen one dev (Stupid Bird Software) working on. I just want to feel like I own my aircraft, feel that there are consequences to flying poorly, but with the key caveat that I’ll rarely fly anything larger than an EMB-110 or Lear 35A.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Just to clarify: Passenger2x does support aircraft ownership with location and condition persistence. You own your aircraft, and its wear and tear directly affects passenger satisfaction and airworthiness. Maintenance must be scheduled, and poor flying has real consequences.

We’re not trying to force progression toward airliners. We already have a mix of small to heavy airliners, and we have private aircraft, business jets and historic airliners coming soon in the form of a free DLC. We also have cargo airliners in the works.

As for what sets Passenger2x apart from OnAir:

  • We focus heavily on passenger immersion - not just logistics.

  • You shape the in-flight experience, manage loyalty programs, and see real-time passenger reactions.

  • It’s designed to feel personal, strategic, and emotionally rewarding.

Thanks for your comments :slight_smile:

Passenger2x is a live add-on, which makes that a bit tricky. That said, we’re actively exploring a save/load flight option to help users pause and resume their progress more easily. It’s on our radar as we shape the 2026 roadmap.

Thanks if you do include happy to look at purchasing . For me can’t complete a flight in one sitting .

2026 roadmap，passenger2xxxX？

This is all really promising to hear, thanks for sharing! I’ll check it out.

One question though: I’m trying to understand the difference between Passenger2 and Passenger2x. Is there a comparison table somewhere on the site I’m not seeing? Thanks.

I have just bought Passenger2x and love it, however it would be nice if we could change the air fare costs in different classes to destinations relative to real world everyday operations. Also fuel prices so that we have a better awareness in relation to real operating costs to destinations and a more awarness of the cost of operating aircraft instead of just bunging fuel in to capacity. It would make us more aware of takeoff and landing fuel weights.
