my first proper FSP flights (after purchase)

[gazpode_l]

I've recently made my 1st flights in the UK after purchasing FSPassengers. I've used the programme before, but unfortunately, was only
able to use the demo version. What a magnificent prog it is!

My 1st flight was a short hop in a King-Air 350 which comes as standard with fs9, and I was doing well despite the bumpy flight, when 5
mins before landing and shortly before starting my final approach, I messed up a key stroke and accidentally opened the exit door.

Despite this problem I managed to land the airplane safely and get them to the gate okay!

Much repair was required of my King-air 350, but last night I took off and made a succesful flight back in the opposite direction to
stansted. Was hansomely awared 350 points for my excellent job. Passengers were happy too, despite yet more turbulence.

The FSP report even mentioned I'd landed in "extreme weather" :-D

I’m sure most of have done similar things, I know I have. Congratulations on the return leg anyway.

Tip/Trick from a verteran of poorly managed doors:

After 5 or 6 episodes of the ^#@@*# door opening at the worst possible moment, I remapped the key in FS9 to ctrl-shft-x (for eXit). I
haven't had the problem since. Hope that helps.

The unwished door opening in flight is indeed a "must have done it" for ALL proud FsPassengers pilot, then,

Welcome to the club

It took me also some flights before having at least a flight without pens

Beside the immersive atmosphere given by all the sounds, the help provided by the key shortcuts (except the door ) and copilot
announces. FsPassengers provides a motivation of result in a flexible way.

There are others programs like FS2Crew which monitors what you do but they are based on "you made a mistake on step 2 then you are
blocked on sep 8 and you won't fly". which is quite frustrating.

With FsPassengers you can always do the whole flight even with your door open, froozen flaps etc. Just the bill and score on flight report
at the end can be a bad moment

Congrats, and welcome to the forum!

You're doing great; all my first FSP flights were decidedly "improper"!

My latest problems that I am having is with crosswinds. Keep getting accused of dangerous take-offs and landings as I struggle to control the
aircraft. I am often finishing on the grass, after having made the runway, I seem to get propelled onto the grass by only 5knt winds! I feel flight
sim's modelling of wind is probably ten times higher than what it should be. I feel I should only be fighting for control this bad if I am landing
in 50knt winds, not five!
