I just took my first full IFR flight successfully yesterday with VATSIM ATC all the way yesterday and it was just amazing, with the FBW 320. The flyPad integration with VATSIM was so freaking convenient and I haven't even plumbed all the depths of the pad yet.

Question for you, when you load PAX, how do you do that? I get a jetway connected but how do you get people to board or is that just a faux element?

Click the cloud download icon on the payload page and it will pull the pax/cargo from Simbrief, or type in whatever you want. Then pick instant, fast, or real-time load speed and load up your pax/cargo.

Yeah, I just discovered all the extra features on the pad. It's so freaking awesome. How the hell is this free?

I dunno, it blows my mind. Easily one of my favorite game mods of all time - right up there with Counter Strike and Desert Combat. The amount of work put into it is insane. It's my favorite thing to fly currently, can't wait for the 380 to drop.

Have you tried remote MCDU via SimBridge? I run that on an iPad and do all my MCDU programming on that, its so nice.
