new FShotseat

[johnan]

I am not connected in any way to FShotseat but for your information ,if you dont already know it, a new version is now available at http://fshotseat.com/ with lots of new features.There is a free demo version too.I think it is a great program but of course that is just my own opinion!!

It sure looks cool but I just got this from the FSHotseatfourms:


"We're not absolutely positive at this time but it appears that FSHS will be compatible with FS2004, probably via a minor update.

We'll post as soon as we're certain.

It most definitely is compatible with FS9/fs2004 as I have been using it for a couple of days,since version 1.2 was released.
Version 1.2 makes the program work with Fs9/fs2004 and adds some extra features to the previous version.
Try the demo but make sure you follow the tutorial/"help" instructions as it is a very sophisticated program that works beautifully when used properly (and it is easy to use once you have used it a couple of times)but can be frustrating initially if you dont, for example, set up a valid flight plan in the first place!

I am dowloading the trial version right now....a question..will the purchased version only work with the Beechcraft, or can you use any jet?

Thanks

It will work once registered with any aircraft but some have mistakes in their cfg files that hotseat may show up as an error, but you wouldnt notice normally,for example:an aircraft cfg file could have a specified rate of climb that was a misprint of say 60ft/min and your flight plan might require a faster (!) rate of climb.In that case hotseat would rightly say the flight plan is not valid and give a message indicating the problem.
Any a/c properly set up with good cfg files will work fine.
