I have FSX: Deluxe Edition and I was wondering if you can create a flight plan to multiple cities and "act" like a airlinr pilot by shuttling passengers? Is this actually in the game or provided by add-ons? I've been doing the missions and lessons and was wondering how I can be a commerical airline pilot. I was looking at the Traffic ad-on and Cargo airline by Just Flight. I see Virtual Airlines but those are run by people and am I comparing Virtual Airline correctly by saying they are like "guild's in MMORPG's? I thought virtual airlines is provided in FSX. For example: I wanted to fly passengers from New York to Orlando, then fly to Puerto Rico, back to Orlando then to Aruba. Something like FSX offering you a job as an airline pilot or are these only available in add-ons? Can someone explain virtual airlines or did I explain it correctly? Thank you.....

I'm going to play hockey. Real hockey; none of that simulated crap. Sadly, fuel is getting too expensive to maintain my fleet of 737's; I am thinking of retiring all five of them and getting an A330. Stock it with hot tubs, jacuzzi's, booze, and the finest barely legal females I can buy.

What were you talking about again?

To the OP

www.fspassengers.com EXCELLENT add-on. currently only version is for FS2004 but the FSX version is due to be released in a month or so. DEFINATELY worth buying. It revolutionized my flight simming. Check the forums, there is some useful info there and a good community.

To the last poster. What about Falcon 4.0 Allied Force? I've never played it but might be worth looking at.
