Essentially a game within a game, FSP brings a whole new dimension to your flight simming experience. Some of its features include:

• Add passengers to your flights! Finally, you're not alone in the sky.


• Passengers react to how you fly your plane. Hear them scream if you make drastic mistakes, and get their opinion of your flight in real time.


• Provide in-flight passenger services such as meals, movies, music, and drinks.


• Make money for successful flights; be fined if you do something wrong.


• Manage an airline (make money, manage aircraft fleets, etc).


• Maintain your aircraft in good condition, otherwise you may experience unique and suprising failures.


• Create and maintain pilot careers.


• Keep detailed logs and statistics for every flight you make (great for virtual airlines).


• Fly through dangerous parts of the world, and risk the safety of your plane, crew, or passengers!


• Export your flight to your Virtual Airline.


• This add-on includes more than 200 in-flight sounds to immerse you in the ambiance of flight. Hear feedback from your co-pilot, flight attendants, passengers; listen to ATC chatter, music, GPWS, and more.

SMS produces the most beautiful airports for Flight Simulator. Their "Japanese Airports" series, which covers nine volumes and pretty much every airport in Japan, is simply breathtaking.
