Which aircraft, mission types are you having an issue with ?
How is your Characters Quantity setting ?:

It’s fixed wing aircraft. So far the Baron G58, the Cessna C400, Cirrus Vision Jet, Cessna Longitude, and the Pilatus PC-12.

I am not using career so cannot try to replicate. The only point I am thinking of is: are you adding passengers weights in the EFB and then load to the aircraft ? (I assume you are doing so if you are seeing passengers in helicopters).

Career doesn’t really allow for the customization of those values, so the EFB doesn’t serve that purpose in career. I’ll test on my end this evening but last I flew passengers in Career they were definitely visible.

I’m not changing anything. I load into the flight and ask for passenger boarding. I have one update. I could see passengers loading on an airline flight and I could see them in the cabin. Seems to only be affecting GA aircraft. In the PC-12 I could see my co-pilot but no passengers.

My understanding of “fixed wing” is that it can be either a GA aircraft or an airliner. If so, maybe replace in the title/description “fixed wing” by “GA” if issue only happens with General Aviation aircraft and add information in the “Reproduction Steps” to use GA aircraft ?

Do you have passengers in career mode?

There is also another bug, maybe related to this one, wich is still present today:

https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/setting-character-quality-to-low-no-passenger/742401/1

If a mod can unlock it ?

Yes - in First Flight, Flightseeing, Search & Rescue, Charter Private, Charger VIP, and Medevac.

Of course, it’s definitely graphics settings-dependent, and probably even variable based on the aircraft.

Right now I only see passengers when doing helicopter missions.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

I have noticed that I do see passengers, however they are not in the right quantity (even with Characters Quantity on Ultra). I will add some supporting screenshots next time I’m in the sim, but I’ve not had a single flight in the PC-24 or CJ4 with the correct number of passengers (when comparing the modeled passengers, which is always one (1) with the passenger load page of the EFB).

PC-24 VIP transport mission… empty

I still have no visible passengers for VIP missions.

I still have no passengers in career mode for VIP company.

This is likely an issue with specific aircraft rather than all of Charter - VIP and should probably have individual bug reports open per aircraft type.

It is an issue with every aircraft type. I’ve only seen a passenger once after the game had an issue and automatically teleported me to ready to taxi after engine start. That was the only time since this issue started I’ve seen a passenger. I’ve had every aircraft type in VIP and the problem persists. It’s only in VIP.

I see passengers in every other type of company that has passengers.

note* - helicopter VIP missions do have pax. All other fixed wing do not.

I have recently seen passengers in the Premier 1, PC-24, and Longitude - but I’ll give it a go tonight and provide some screenshots if I can.

It seems to be an issue for only me. I am going to try some things tonight with repair of the app. If all else fails, I might uninstall/re-install and see if that fixes it. I believe you and others have pax. The more I think about it I believe it is a local issue to me.
