I hope some 3rd-party developer steps up to provide a fully-featured ‘passenger experience’ addon for MSFS. I would like to be able to take my seat, kick back, enjoy the sights and sounds of a full flight without constant worry about what is or isn’t happening up on the flight deck.
The viability of any such module will be wholly dependent on the ability of MSFS to provide the player with a competent A.I. controlled flight (from take-off to landing and final taxi) without errors. As things stand, this isn’t possible - the A.I. tends towards incompetence and self-destruction far too often.
It would be great to have in-flight ambience (correct sound files, per carrier) to go along with this.
So this would take a lot of work but just imagine if you could arrive at an airport, walk around with fellow passengers, board your plane then get transported to another airport.
Basically the game ‘Airplane Mode’, but built into MS Flight Simulator.
So it’s not a passenger experience. It’s a ‘simulate carrying passengers experience’. You still have to fly the plane yourself. But thank you for the link - it does look like an intriguing addon, just not quite what I’m hoping for.
I would like to be just a passenger. No piloting. Just take me to my destination and let me kick back into my Business-Class window seat and enjoy the flight, with all the in-flight ambience that goes with such an experience.
Very interesting! This is the kind of thing I’m talking about - but for MSFS 2020. Ideally, the experience would begin from booking the ticket online, to arriving at the airport travel lounge, to boarding, cabin crew welcome aboard, etc all the way disembarking at the destination.
But - yes - this kind of thing, exactly. The full ‘in-flight’ experience. ‘MSFS 2020 Virtual Passenger’. Something like that. The full deal.
I just wanted to resurrect this thread. I think it would be awesome to get a passenger experience score for each flight.
