In-Flight

In-Flight Functionality

PACX simulates an AI flight attendant, as well as AI passengers. This means that actions like in-flight service are performed without pilot input, as they would be in the real world.

Although PACX attempts to monitor and detect the phase of flight to the best of its ability, it will adapt if it determines this is incorrect. For example, if you are in the “boarding” stage, but other software has determined that boarding is complete, proceeding with the flight as expected will cause PACX to skip the remaining boarding process and move on with the flight. This will not have a negative impact on passenger satisfaction. Similarly, cruise altitude changes will be detected automatically.

PACX reads from the default seatbelt sign variable to determine if the seatbelt sign is on or off. Some aircraft do not report this information correctly, meaning that PACX cannot determine the state of the switch. To accommodate those aircraft, PACX offers the ability to control the default seatbelt sign variable via the interaction menu.

An in-flight entertainment (IFE) system is also provided. This can be used to view a flight map and details, access relevant news articles from FSElite, or listen to JetStream Radio.

After a flight, PACX expects the engines and seatbelt sign to be turned off to begin deboarding. Regardless of the seatbelt sign, deboarding will begin 30 seconds after engine shutdown. Once the flight has reached the deboarding stage, the flight can be ended without waiting for deboarding to finish.

End of Flight Report

After a flight is completed, PACX will present the end of flight report.

This report will show you the necessary flight information, any notable events that occurred, various comments from passengers and a list of your passengers on the flight. As well, it will provide the ability to upload the flight and subsequently view it online.
