Planning a flight to a very high altitude airport? That's okay, but what if you'll be landing heavy or what if their runways are reported as contaminated with heavy rain or snow? Your FSCaptain dispatch office will let you know what to look for.
Your dispatch office will warn you about many risk factors that could affect your flight even before you take off. If they notice weather conditions at your destination could present a hazard, they'll advise you to divert to a safer location. You'll interact with the dispatch office to plan and monitor flights. #FSPASSENGERS UPDATE SIMULATOR#
If you're in Cruise and a friend / boss / Nature calls, you can declare "I'll Be Back" and your First Officer will watch over things and pause the simulator if problems occur. Cabin service is handled realistically by your cabin crew - you set parameters but do not micromanage. Want to make international flights like the pros? Your FSCaptain dispatch office will know which airports have Customs Services and what their capabilities are. If you've enabled 'exit-mapping' for your aircraft, your crew will operate PAX and Cargo doors on passenger flights, and only Cargo doors on Cargo flights. The loading and unloading of passengers and/or cargo can be automatically handled by gate staff and ground crew. You don't have to fly alone: you can fly with a first officer - and on passenger flights with a cabin crew and passengers who react and whose satisfaction is your secondary concern - after everyone's safety. allowing you to fly all the way up to the aircraft's rated cruise level! The cost of doing so will be added to your flight's cost.) (And if your airline is in "Economic Mode," you can equip your unpressurized aircraft with personal oxygen. However you can enable an "Economic Mode" which allows you to see what your flights contribute to or cost your airline in its revenue. The financial side of your airline is handled by the bean counters and executives - you are a Captain and your concern is delivering your payload safely to your destination on time with consummate professionalism. Prefer to fly unpressurized aircraft? Don't take your passengers (or live cargo) too high for too long or they may have trouble breathing and pass out. Make passenger or cargo flights, sometimes with special requirements such as priority delivery, fragile cargo, or VIPs. Be assigned to scheduled flights, charter flights, or choose non-revenue ferries where you select the destination. Accept (or decline) assignments from your employer - just as it happens in the real world. An FCDU EXE is also provided for SimConnect-based simulators so you can run outside of your flight simulator - very effective if you have multiple monitors or networked PCs. The FCDU functions as both an ACARS device for communication with your dispatch office and a Crew Messaging device to issue orders to your flight crew. FCDU gauges (illustrated above) are provided for easy and efficient communications with your dispatch office.
