FSCaptain Released

Charles "Dutch" Owen and Systems Unlimited are proud to announce the availability of FSCaptain, a new approach to simulating a professional career in Flight Simulator with special emphasis on realism and flexibility.

Far more than just a log, the program provides a realistic flight environment in which to fly while it tracks your performance; measuring passenger satisfaction, professional competence, on-time performance and adherence to company policy. The results will improve your flying skills -- because it isn't easy to sit in the left seat of an airliner and measure up to the demanding expectations of the job!

Features:

Two versions for the price of one - FSCaptain works in FS2004 and FSX!
Support for multiple installations on the same computer, and you can even have the same career in all your installations even across versions.

Unequaled Realism:

Accept (or decline) assignments from your employer -- just like the real world.

Be assigned to scheduled flights, charter flights, or choose non-revenue ferries where you select the destination.

Fly passenger or cargo flights, sometimes with special requirements such as priority delivery or fragile cargo.

You're not alone: you fly with a first officer, cabin crew, and passengers who react and whose satisfaction is your major concern after safety.

The loading and unloading of passengers and/or cargo are automatically handled by gate staff and ground crew.

Cabin service is handled realistically by your cabin crew -- you set parameters but do not micromanage.

You'll interact with the dispatch office to plan and monitor your flight.

An ACARS-like gauge is provided for easy and efficient communications with your dispatch office.

Face the real-world hazards of aviation: FSCaptain includes a wide array of potential mechanical failures, bird strikes, blown tires, and other hazards even medical emergencies and smoke in the passenger cabin.

Your career is tracked and evaluated and your professional skills will be rewarded as you move up the ladder of success. But watch out: your flaws are tracked closely too!

Unsurpassed Flexibility:

You aren't limited in the size or type of aircraft based on your career position. Fly your favorite airplanes right off the bat.
Work for any of the default airlines provided out of the box, or create your own, including those that match real-world companies. Passenger or cargo airlines (or both), charter or scheduled operations (or a mixture.)
Create your own schedules or import them from the AI schedules inside Flight Simulator.
The risk factors for failures are fully under your control, but by default they are very realistically implemented, quite rare and completely random.
Airline policies are configurable in detail from the simplest to the most complex -- even down to how effective their maintenance operations are!
Aircraft characteristics are configurable, including detailed fuel and payload charts.
Support for reporting your flights automatically over the internet to your Virtual Airline.

A safe product to evaluate and use:

The free version of FSCaptain is fully functional and not limited in any way except for operations must be conducted from three airports located in the pacific northwest of the USA. The registration code which you purchase simply removes this restriction. You can evaluate the program at no expense risk-free for as long as you like.
FSCaptain is carefully designed to be safe to install -- it does not modify your flight simulator or your Windows in any way except to add its own separate database folder and two gauges to your gauges folder. The Windows registry is not touched in any way, shape, or form.
The gauge installed in your aircraft (the FCOM) is easily installed or removed by a program with no tweaking needed. It is unobtrusive and not seen unless called up, and it does not affect the appearance of your panels in any way.
Your flight logs are carefully stored and backed up automatically to eliminate the risk of loss of your valuable career data.
