Following its announcement earlier this week, Passenger2 Version 2 has been released.
The advanced passenger and crew addon update will be a free major overhaul of the current Passenger2 addon. New features coming in Version 2 will include being able to lease and purchase new aircraft, new statistics, a new banking system, a new realistic approach to catering, new announcements, a completely new user interface and graphics and much more.
Passenger2’s interface works with the simulator to allow you to create, manage, and grow your airline, manage ground handling contracts, work with catering contracts, purchase and sell aircraft, and more. Passenger2 also features realistic passenger and crew interaction, flight deck interactions, real seat maps, real airline sound packs, realistic announcements in several languages with more being added, random events from drunk passengers to oven fires and VR support.
There are two versions of Passenger2; a lite version and a pro version. The ‘pro’ version comes with the ability to run a career mode, create four airlines, access the airline dashboard and much more. The lite version is aimed at enabling you to set-up and go, customise announcements, boarding music, etc, and also see pilot ratings.
The lite version will cost you $22.99 and the Pro version will cost you $39.99 from their store. You can also pick up a copy from the iniBuilds store. It is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, Prepar3D, and FSX.
