4 - The FsPassengers Flight
FsPassengersフライト


4A - How to start and end a FsPassengers flight
FsPassengersフライトの始め方、終わり方


Prepare FS2004 with your aircraft ready for departure either with cold/dark cockpit or with engine(s) running, set the weather and all flight conditions as you do for a usual FS2004 flight.
コールド／ダークコックピットまたはエンジンが稼働している状態で、出発のための航空機が準備ができているFS2004を用意し、いつものように天気とすべての飛行設定をしてください。


The only important thing is that you must have the parking brake set.
唯一の重要なものはサイドブレーキをONにしておかなければならないということです。


Once done simply go to the FsPassengers menu and select “FsPassengers flight - Start flight load aircraft” you’ll get the payload dialog.
その後は単にFsPassengersメニューを開き「FsPassengers flight - Start flight load aircraft」を選択してください。ペイロードダイアログが表示されます。


Load your aircraft with this payload dialog, load passengers, cargo, set the fuel, optionally set your destination and/or arrival planned time, click ok and you are now in a FsPassengers flight.
このペイロードダイアログで機体を呼び出し、乗客を乗せ、荷物を載せ、燃料を搭載し、オプションで行き先　そして／または　到着時刻を設定し、OKをクリックします。これでFsPassengersフライトが開始されます。


To end your flight, once landed at the destination, set parking brake and select in the menu “FsPassengers flight - End flight” option.
フライトを終了するには、目的地で着陸し、パーキングブレーキをかけてからメニューの「FsPassengers flight - End flight」オプションを選択します。


The flight will end you’ll get the end of flight report.
これでフライトが完了しフライト終了レポートが表示されます。


That‘s the basics.
これが基本です。


Depending on your company setting you may have more dialogs when you try to start a FsPassengers flight.
会社の設定によっては、FsPassengersフライトを出発させようとするとき、より多くのダイアログが表示されるかもしれません。


For example in economic mode you’ll first have a dialog that shows you how many passengers are waiting to board your plane (this number depends on your company reputation, ticket price and others things), you may also have a warning that will ask you to buy this aircraft if the current company does not own the aircraft you want to fly, or if your company does not have any active pilots.
例えばエコノミックモードで、最初に何人の乗客が飛行機に搭乗するのを待っているかを示すダイアログがあるでしょう(この数は会社の評判、チケットの価格、およびその他のものに依存します)、また、現在の会社が飛ばしたい航空機を所有しないで、また会社にだれかアクティブなパイロットがいないならこの航空機を買うように頼む警告をだすこともあります。


You will also have a “load manifest” dialog after the payload dialog.
また、ペイロードダイアログの後に「積荷目録」ダイアログがあるでしょう。


You can disable both “gate advice” and “manifest dialog” If you only want the payload dialog.
もしペイロードダイアログのみにしたいなら、「ゲートアドバイス」と「積荷目録ダイアログ」の両方を無効にすることができます。


4B - Using the payload dialog
ペイロードダイアログの使い方


Don’t be intimidated by the number of buttons on this dialog, as loading your aircraft is really simple.
このダイアログでボタンの数にうんざりしないでください。航空機がローディングされたらあとは本当に簡単です。















Basically you just need to ensure the selected pilot is the one you want to fly in field “1” then load passengers and cargo in “3” and “4”, set fuel in “5” and click “9” “load immediately”.
基本的に、ただ選択されたパイロットが分野で飛ばしたいものであることを保証する必要がある、「次に、1インチが乗客と貨物を積み込む、「3インチ、「何4インチも、中に燃料を設定してください、「「9インチは「すぐに、ロード」」5インチとクリック。


Your FsPassengers flight starts.
あなたのFsPassengers便は始まります。


(Notice you can change the units displayed (lbs/kg) by going to the “FsPassengers Set-Up\unit set-up” dialog found in the FsPassengers menu)
(あなたがFsPassengersメニューで見つけられた「上に\ユニットがセットアップするFsPassengers Set」対話に行くことによって表示された(ポンド/kg)ユニットを変えることができるのに気付きます)

FsPassengers for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 c2005 SecondReality Software s.a.r.l page 10





1. Pilot selection: The company displayed here is your current company and the pilot displayed is your current pilot.

If you have another pilot active in this company, you can select him from the drop down list.

He will become the current pilot once the flight is ended.

If your current pilot is wounded or killed, the next active will automatically be selected if available.

The “View data” buttons allow you to display the current company or pilot data.

2. Payload model: If more than one payload model is found for the aircraft, you can switch between them by using this drop list.

This allows you to switch between the different configurations of your aircraft (cargo, passengers, combi, etc).

3. Passengers slider: This slider allows you to load the passengers.

4. Cargo slider: This slider allows you to load a cargo payload.

5. Fuel load: Click and hold the mouse on the green bar and slide to load the fuel.

6. Set destination (optional): You can set a destination and/or a planned arrival time.

If you do so, you will get bonuses for landing at the right place and/or at the right time.

You will be penalized if you land at the wrong place without an emergency or for arriving too late or too early.

A “read more” button on the “set destination” dialog will give you a table of bonuses and penalties for given flight and arrival times.

7. Set Flight ID: This optional section allows you to set your flight ID using a combination of 7 letters and numbers.

Usually flight IDs are either chosen randomly (e.g.: XF654) or defined by what was set as a call sign when the company was created.

8. Get zero fuel weight (ZFW): This is useful for some aircraft that need this value in their computer (PMDG and such).

9. OK . Load immediately: This will instantly load the passengers, the cargo and the fuel on the aircraft.

10. OK . Real time load: Clicking on this will give you a dialog were you can choose the time it will take to load your aircraft from 2 minutes to 20 minutes.

You can also choose whether the crew will close the door or if you need to close it manually.

Once you have set everything, click OK and the passengers will start boarding the aircraft.

You will hear some boarding sounds and you can see the boarding progress on the mini-display.

You must have the front door for passengers to board the aircraft.

This option is useful if you start with a cold/dark cockpit or if you want your passengers to board your plane while you start your aircraft.

11. Payload image display: This shows a picture of your payload model.

You can design new models and upload them onto the FsPassengers’ website so that others can use them.

See the “tuning FsP” section for more information.

12. This shows your aircraft’s current weight in regards of the MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight).

If your payload and fuel weight exceed the MTOW this display will start to blink as a warning.

13. This shows how many passengers are waiting at the gate.

In economic mode it is often less than your total aircraft capacity.

Once you have selected all the passengers to be loaded (field 3) this display will show 0 (zero) passengers waiting at the gate.

4C In-flight actions

In-flight actions depend on the settings, the aircraft type and the crew.

You can for example turn the seat belt sign on and off; ask ATC for a clearance to exceed 250kts below 10'000 ft; change the chatter frequencies; serve food, drinks and sandwiches; play movies and music; disable the GPWS call (in case of failure of gear or flaps for example) and; order the virtual copilot to enter various data as COM, NAV, transponder, altimeter value using keyboard.

You can also customize, close or move the mini-display, display the in-flight report and display the passengers list.

Most in-flight options are accessible through the FsPassengers menu “FsPassengers flight” and by keyboard shortcuts.

You will find below a list of default keyboard keys; the menu selections are self-explanatory.

Using virtual co-pilot to enter value (NOT AVAILABLE in the menu):

Requirement: Any aircraft

Default key: Various (9 shortcuts)

You can use a keyboard shortcut to request a change of value from your co-pilot.

The co-pilot will always give you some voice feedback to advise you if the command was successfully carried out or not.

For example, to change the NAV1 frequency to 109.90 you would type “N10990”.

The co-pilot will say “NAV one zero nine nine zero… set and check”.

Your NAV1 frequency will be set to 109.90. For COM2

FsPassengers for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 c2005 SecondReality Software s.a.r.l page 11




and NAV2, the command key must be pressed twice before entering the frequency value.

For example: “NN109.90” will set your NAV2 frequency to 109.90.

Here is a list of actions and an example of how to enter them:

Input COM frequency with keyboard C C12020 or CC12020 for COM2

Input NAV frequency with keyboard N N10990 or NN10990 for NAV 2

Input VOR course with keyboard J J270 will set course on 270°

Input Autopilot heading with keyboard H H180 will set autopilot heading on 180°

Input Autopilot altitude with keyboard A A230 will set autopilot altitude on 23'000 ft

Input Autopilot speed with keyboard V V250 will set autopilot speed to 250 kts

Input GPWS decision height with keyboard F F050 will set decision height at 50 ft

Input Transponder code with keyboard K K1200 will set transponder on 1200

Input Altimeter pressure with keyboard L L2992 will set altimeter on 29.92

These commands can only be performed through keyboard commands.

They are not available on the FsPassengers flight menu.

The default keys can be changed through the ≪ Keyboard setup ≫ dialog in the “FsPassengers setup” menu.

Belt sign on/off:

Requirements: Automatic Belt Setting set to “You must manage the cabin seat belt sign” or if there is no crew aboard

Default key: CTL+SHF+B

The seat belt sign is important to your passengers.

You will be penalized if you forget to light the sign on take-off and on landing, when flying at low altitude and, if you forget to turn the sign off while flying “en route” (assuming that the weather is good, of course).

Serve food/drinks/sandwiches, play movies:

Requirements: Crew on board and the Auto Service Setting set to “You must manage the service on board”

Default key: Various (4 shortcuts)

FsP Crew Setting is on “all aircraft but light have Crew” by default.

Usually you will not be able to serve under 6000 feet and if your climb rate is too high (due to aircraft pitch).

Things to remember:

. Crew is able to serve up to a climb rate of 1800 ft/mn and at an altitude higher than 6000 ft.

. Every service takes time.

The mini-report will show you the service status (count 10mn-20mn per service, this depends on the number of passengers, drinks take longer to serve).

. Be careful to serve only when there is enough time to do so.

The descent might cancel the service and unsatisfied passengers who were not served will penalize you.

. Serve food and drinks together.

. Do not shake the aircraft when the crew is serving.

It will cancel the service and you will be penalized.

Service can also be cancelled because of turbulence but you will not be penalized for it.

. Make sure that there is enough time to play the movie; passengers do not appreciate missing the ending… no there are no credits!

. The in-flight report gives advice about your passengers’ hunger level.

Food and drinks cost you money; do not waste them if your passengers are not hungry.

. Service price and quality can be set in the “company manager”.

Play music

Requirement: Avionics switch ON, available in the menu only if there is a crew aboard otherwise use keyboard shortcut (GA aircraft don’t have music usually but we left that for the fun)

Default key: CTL+SHF+T

Passengers enjoy listening to music from the overhead speakers when on the ground and you will get a bonus for that.

In flight, they prefer listening through their headset, so remember to turn the music off before take-off and to turn it back on after landing.

You can use the menu to choose music or you can use the keyboard shortcut to turn it on/off.

FsPassengers for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 c2005 SecondReality Software s.a.r.l page 12




Each time you press the keyboard keys, it will cycle though the five available music selections located in your “voice pack” folder.

Selecting another voice pack may give you another selection (if the author of the voice pack included the music files).

Enable/disable GPWS flap and gear warning

Requirement: Aircraft with a GPWS

Default key: CTL+SHF+1 (FLAP) and CTL+SHF+2 (GEAR)

The GPWS will warn you if your flaps or gear are not extended at low altitude; even in the event of a flaps or gear failure.

You can use the command keys to enable or disable the gear or/and flaps GPWS warnings.

Ask 250kts clearance under 10'000 ft:

Requirement: Any aircraft

Default key: CTL+SHF+3

In the real world you are restricted to less then 250kts below 10'000 ft.

Special ATC clearance can be requested to exceed that speed.

As in real life, FsP restricts flight speed to less then 250kts under 10’000 ft and you can request a clearance to exceed that speed.

This option is not linked to the FS2004 ATC.

You can request this clearance through all phases of flight but keep in mind that the clearance becomes void if you climb above 10’000 ft.

You must request another clearance before passing 10’000 ft if you plan to exceed 250kts on descent.

Once requested, the copilot will advise you that he will ask ATC for the authorization.

He relay the ATC clearance within a few seconds.

If you are unsure about your authorization, CTL+SHF+3 can be used to request the status from your copilot.

If you fly with Radar Contact or another ATC add-on, you must first ask FsP for the authorization.

You can request the Radar Contact controller’s authorization only after FsP has cleared you.

For information about disabling this penalty, please refer to the “Tuning FsPassengers” section.

Change ATC chatter frequency

Requirements: Any aircraft that has a COM radio and the Avionics switch ON

Default key: None or default FS2004 key for COM radio

In the FsPassengers setup, you can choose to have the radio chatter played on COM1 or COM2.

By default COM2 is used.

If your COM radio is set to a chatter frequency and if there are wav files in a folder labeled with this frequency (in the “FsPassenger\sound\radiochatter” folder), FsPassengers will randomly play these files.

For demo purposes, one frequency contains wav files.

You can see which frequencies are set for chatter by selecting “ATC Chatter Frequency List” in the FsPassengers menu.

It will show you all the “frequencies” that contain wav files.

The dialog also has a button to open the directory where the frequency files are located so that you can place more wav files into them.

4D - The mini display

The mini display gives you instant feedback about what is happening in your flight, the passengers satisfaction level, hunger level, fear level, crew action such as service and other warnings or events.

The mini-display is fully customizable.

You can close it, move it anywhere on screen.

You can also undock it and move it to another monitor.

To move it, left click, hold the button and drag it to the desired location.

To customize it, right click on the mini display to bring up the menu:

Here are some suggestions for the mini display remember

to right click on it to get the mini display menu:

FsPassengers for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 c2005 SecondReality Software s.a.r.l page 14




The options available by right clicking on the mini display are:

Short report (icon only):

The mini-report will display on one line only with an icon indicating what the item refers to.

Verbose report (Default):

The mini-report will display text and icons, but it will also take more space.

You can switch between Short and Verbose mode from the right click menu or by using a keyboard command (CTL+SHT+C).

Undock mini report:

This will switch the mini-report in window mode so that it can be moved to another monitor.

Display on 2d Panel only:

If you check this option, the mini-panel will only be displayed in the 2d cockpit and not in the virtual cockpit nor in other external views.

This is useful if you want to display the mini on the panel.

In which case, we recommend using the short report with a black background to make it fit on almost any panel.

You can then switch it to the verbose report as necessary.

Display failure warning icon:

This option will display a warning icon on the mini-report when there is a failure.

This is useful because some failures occur silently such as a slow rise in oil pressure.

Be warned that as this icon is a cheat (real pilots do not have such a warning . they must scan their instruments to get hints of problems) and that your bonus points will be reduced should you adequately handle the emergency.

Play failure warning sound:

This option is only enabled if you have the failure warning icon set.

If you enable the warning sound, a "beep-beep" sound will also alert you of a failure.

Change display color:

Use this menu to change the looks of the mini-report.

The most useful is "black background" which allows you to display the mini-report on some black area of any panel.

You can also select the "light blue background" to position the mini-report on top left of your window and have it blend in with the blue sky.
