This is the best mod out there, does exactly as it says it does. Still finding my way around all the different features, but it’s great when you figure it all out. Personally I find my flights are more realistic, now and aren’t as boring. Great work

I have enjoyed using LukeAirTool over the past year to improve my flight simulation experience on MSFS with cabin announcements. After over 8,000 hours of play and testing, the app is very reliable in not crashing while running, and logging the information once the flight is completed. The announcements work very well, and are excellent quality for a free app made in someone's spare time. If you are looking for airline announcements for your x-plane or MSFS program, this is a great selection. If you are looking for a fun game to play, a word of caution before you start.

Over a year ago, on 02/23/21, Luke put out in the announcements on the discord server for the app to "Get that score in while you can, those airliners won't be cheap!" Starting a virtual airline sounded like great fun, and I began to play daily to prepare for the launch of the virtual company portion of the app, now named FlyLAT. After a year of dedicated play serving the virtual airline passengers, I was able to attain the high score of over 6 million points. The majority of the time I spent playing the app was in the manual mode, where you must correctly serve a passenger every 5 minutes during your flight, or receive a substantial score penalty. You may also use cabin crew AI to automatically serve your passengers for less score.

Now that FlyLAT is in testing, Luke has made it clear that he will no longer be converting score earned on pax sim from the last year into cash for the virtual airlines as he promised to do, and will "Do something else instead." This very much feels like bait and switch, because that is exactly what it is. This change was made after the 8,000 hours were flown and invested. He stated that it "Would not be fair to new players" due to delays in the development of the app to pay us the virtual airline cash we earned. It is worth noting that all players were encouraged to earn score to be converted into airline cash for the last year the app has been in development. I received no assistance as a new player to climb to the top of the leader board when I began playing the app to make it "more fair" for me. There was no concern by the developer for me starting from zero, when the top players had already earned a million points or more. None.

This brings into serious question the lack of balancing for the new mode, Cargo Overhaul, since the same credits earned there (Cr) will be applied to the FlyLAT Virtual Airline mode, but the score earned over the last year on pax sim at his invitation will not. Credits are paid via cargo delivered, with no consideration to the distance the cargo is flown. This was to be added a week or two after the mode was released, and nothing was changed. There are only 2 engine factories in the entire world, and both are located in Europe to create a monopoly. The stops located in that area are much closer together, allowing pilots in that region to earn the same credits flying 300 miles that pilots in other areas of the world must fly over 1,000 miles to earn. This is evidence that fairness is not involved in these decisions, because this is obviously unfair to the casual observer.

The mode has been left out of balance for the entire time it has been live, despite notification of these problems to the developer. There is a build tree to manufacture resources by moving cargo, and takes a substantial amount of time to fly the cargo around to build the final product, such as medical equipment. Someone can simply pick up the valuable final product you have built with no penalty after you have done all the work to build it for days. Sound like fun to you? When notified of this issue, the developer stated, "This is how the game is supposed to work."

"Changes in development" is not a valid excuse to refuse to pay pilots for thousands of hours flown after the fact, destroying the trust between the user and the developer. The changes that are made to game balancing consistently punish regular/long term players that actually sit and play the app. Such as the changing of the manual score bonus from 35 to 10. When notified that these changes were discouraging actually sitting and playing the app, rather than simply setting the pc to auto and walking away to earn points, the developer stated that I was "Upset over a 24 hour test." It did not feel like a 24 hour test at the time, and after months have passed this still remains a nerf for all manual players of 70% of their manual bonus score, proving the concern valid. You will be blamed as the user for oversights by the developer on a regular basis. Regular players are penalized when they do well rather than rewarded for their loyalty. This is what I experienced.

When notified that these changes would cause the loss of a regular customer, I was told that, "A customer is someone that is paying for a service.", rather than any resolution. This is despite the thousands of hours I spent testing the app finding bugs, offering fix suggestions for free, and making a 20 pound donation while the app was in its first year. After such blatant indifference to customer satisfaction has been shown on multiple occasions, I no longer trust this developer to deliver what was promised and have ceased using this application. There is far too much interest expressed by the developer for "locking up people's planes on the ground" the moment a real world event allows him to do so, rather than fixing the obvious problems with unbalanced gameplay. Fair warning before you play.

enganoso o programa nao abre , suporta windows 10 ?

LukeC88 29 day(s) ago

You need to extract everything from the zip. If at first the starts but nothing is coming up, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and check if its there. If it is, Kill the process and launch again. Make sure you have extracted everything and nothing has been deleted by any antivirus program. Of course it works on windows 10. I used both windows 10 and 11 to develop this.

AirTool has over 36,000 active users, 400 flights per day with it. So there is simply something on your end that is not working. If you have time, join our discord channel for real time support.

Hi Devs,

I hope you can help me. I downloaded this (free version) and I mean.. I don't think I can get it to work where the auto-announcements are functioning. I've tried flying the plane and I don't hear anything auto-announcing, yet if I open up the Air Tool program and click on random 'announcment buttons" in the app, it plays samples, files of what is to be played. Another example is, if I turn on/off the Fasten Seatbelt sign/switch, I don't hear any audio related to it. Am I missing something here?

Sorry for the noob question but this is a 'mod' that I'm truly hoping can work.

I also signed up and created an account but it is my understanding that even if not doing so and running this as an add-on only without an account of any nature, the auto announcements would still work.

Which also leads me to ask, how would it work knowing what announcement would be for what airline, given as they appear to be all segregated into their own when I run the sample/speech files as stated prior?

Thank you very much for your hard work on this!

LukeC88 29 day(s) ago

Its all good.... Firstly make sure that you have ticked automatic announcements on. When you press boarding, a welcome message will finish once your passengers have boarded. When you start pushback, safety announcement will play. Once you go over 10,000ft seat bels off announcement will play followed by duty free. Once you go below 7,000ft you will get an announcement that you are preparing to land. Once you land, 30 seconds after you will get a landing announcement. If you have discord, come and join it, I can help you in real time.

Feel free to ping me in your message on my discord channel. Head over to discord.lukeairtool.net

Unfortunately, I can't get the automatic announcements to work. Manually selected I get them played.

tofuproductions 1 month(s) ago

Same here, I have no idea how to get them to work - MSFS2020. Like you, I can get them to play manually, but when launching the game and such, nothing plays automatically, and if toggle switches are set such as the seatbelt, I don't hear any announcements made. I hope the devs reply back to either one of us with a clear-up.

LukeC88 29 day(s) ago

Hopefully you guys are using PaxSim. This is where automatic announcements will play as it requires FSUIPC (for msfs) or XUIPC (xp11). Once you are setting up a flight, simply make sure you tick automatic announcements. This is located on the page where you select your airline. For tutorial, we have some videos on this. Head over to youtube.lukeairtool.net or if you would like to get realtime help, head over to discord.lukeairtool.net

Hello, my app doesn't work anymore since last update.

While trying click on my profile or set a flight, an error occurs with Big red cross ..

LukeC88 1 month(s) ago

I have just checked on my side and the app is working fine. Please make sure that you can access https://lukeairtool.net and that your antivirus is not blocking our server. if you can access the server, check maybe your antivirus is blocking the apps access. If not, make sure you are logged into your AirTool account. But if it still continues, please get the error by going to details, copy everything that's inside that window and send it to [email protected] . Just sign it with you flightsim.to username so I know its from you. I will investigate more why this might be happening to you.
