I bought FS Passengers. It adds a lot more depth to flight sim, I quite like it. I notice some VAs use it as a sort of pirep/acars system - tey send you a profile you need to copy into an .ini file or something which gives you a special profile. Do Delta have that? Not seen it mentioned anywhere. Are there any plans or investigations into doing it? I know a lot of you always fly with it. I wondered how it fits together with VATSIM and ACARS and SB all running too. I'm in FS9.1 which runs like a dream with all the sliders at the max, so I'm not short of performance, I was more worried about how the programs sync together, for example, you load fuel and pax/cargo in FS Passengers, but ACARS has a load and fuel manager too. How do they work together or is it a matter of loading up in FSP, and then just transfering the numbers into ACARS?

Any adivice/observations would be MOST welcome

That is why we have the ACARS program it does all that for you instead of having to use FSPAX to file your FP. They work great together ACARS and FSP, you just can choose which way you want to load your fuel, personally I prefer to use either the FS9 or FSP fuel loader, ACARS doesn't have all the fuel profiles for all the aircraft. You don't have to transfer any numbers to ACARS, it auto detects your fuel upon take-off and landing. Hope this cleared somethings up for ya!

Cheers!
