Author Virtual Cabins
Class-1

I've been FS-ing since FS3. Anyway, yesterday I tried out Active Camera
for the first time, mostly because what I'm after is 'Stewardess View'.
What I want is the capability of mooching about the cabin in flight and
peering out the window from a passenger perspective.

I have many 3rd party ac - my preferred rides being Posky 747s (before
they went all pay ware on us), and bizjets.

Problem is, none of my ac have virtual cabins!! Cockpits yes, cabins
no. =|
So the question is: What are the best free/pay ware aircraft with
virtual cabins?

The PMDG 737NG 600/700/800/900's all have options to load VC and Cabin which
are quite nice and views can be saved for windows etc

The wilco (Feelthere) 737 has a great virtual cabin.
www.wilcopub.com

I can't think of any freeware (stewardess requiring) aircraft with
virtual cabin off hand.
Of course the new Captain Sim 757 also has the first class cabin modeled
in superb detail.

Flight1's ATR72-500 (payware) has a virtual cabin option.

Don't need payware for this, even the Cessna Caravan will let you take a
trip to the cabin, press (num keypad) '8' I think to walk forward.

It's not a large jet, but the FS2004 Ford Tri-Motor has a passenger cabin
with seats and all, IIRC.

Must try that, is it like in the Indiana Jones film, with chickens flying
round ;-)

'Stewardess View'... { chuckle }

Falcon 50 CAEA has a cabin.

Thanks for the suggestions. I finally stumped up the cash for the
Eaglesoft Citation X . I've had my eye on this for a long time now
(well, a couple of years, really), but finally overcame my aversion to
payware aircraft.
And what an excellent overall package this is!!

The thrill of walking around the v. cabin has worn off now though.
I much prefer to focus on the excellent virtual cockpit and leave the
animated girl passenger to play with her laptop.

Incidentally, she wasn't even distracted when I pulled an inverted dive
manoeuvre at 550kts (as you do). What a woman! =)

I bet she was highly impressed though when you pulled out successfully, ( as
you did?)
Oops, for those of use with dirty minds that wasn't supposed to sound quite
like that, - for those of us without dirty minds, you didn't notice anyway,
did you? "What's that you say?"

Roger.
