Dan, the developer of the iconic FsPassengers add-on, has officially announced the end of the project after two decades of existence. Launched in 2005 for FS2004 and later adapted to FSX and Prepar3D, FsPassengers brought a unique career mode, passenger management, and in-flight realism that became a favorite for thousands of simmers worldwide. Product activation remains available for existing customers, but active development and community support are now discontinued.

In his farewell message on the official website, Dan explains that the decision comes from the natural passing of time, the increasing restrictions of modern simulators, and the high cost of maintaining a website and forum with little activity. He extends warm thanks to the entire community for their support over the years, with a special mention to forum moderator JoeFlyer. With FsPassengers now part of flight simulation history, Dan turns to new projects while leaving behind an enduring legacy in virtual aviation.

While the add-on is now freeware, it remains copyrighted — users are encouraged to respect the rules and not redistribute or resell it. With this release, FsPassengers leaves behind a lasting legacy in virtual aviation for both longtime fans and newcomers.
