Hi everyone,

Is there any good application and sond packages for In flight Announcements for Air NZ or other airlines?
I don't mid if it is payware as long as it is worth it.



I used to have a free software which I can't recall its name now but lost if few years ago.

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Maybe you could just get FS Passengers - then get the Air NZ voicepack for it. Probably better use of your money than just buying some other program that just does announcements.

Thanks

The rest of the FSPassengers features look like fun, but if all you want is cabin announcements, attendant calls, muzak and the like then save yourself 30-euro and download "FDSFXPNL.zip" from avsim, there are sound packs for a number of airlines avail there too. And if you want an Air New Zealand specific sound set download Cameron Spark's FSPassengers sound pack and safety video and make up your own FDSFX config, its pretty easy to do.

Thanks deeknow for the information. I tried to use FDSFXPNL before and I faced some issues , plus I have to go through installation for all my planes.

And I own the FS Passenger 2004 as well so it won't be a problem for me to use it again.
Is there any suggested and more convenient way to setup FDSFXPNL ?

Cheers,

I had a play around with FDC Live Cockpit sometime ago, but decided the virtual co-pilot and inflight chatter weren't my thing. It was quite good though and you can link panel switches and keypresses to kick off the announcements etc. Do a search on YouTube for FDC Live Cockpit and you'll find numerous links showcasing its features. It can do pilot, co-pilot and engineer calls, cabin crew announcements, ATC chatter, aircraft specific audible checklists and heaps more. There is a bit of tinkering required to configure the program for us with each aircraft, but it was quite good.

FDC Live Cockpit!

If your going to get FDC, dont get it. Get FS2Crew instead. Its basically the same but more integrated. Seems to actually function.
