Self-Loading Cargo v1.6 Has Landed!
Self-Loading Cargo® is an add-on application for flight simulators that adds real-time simulation of the communication systems, cabin crew and passengers onboard your virtual aircraft as well as the ground crew at your departure and arrival airports. Read More »
What Does it Do?
Self-Loading Cargo allows you to interact and work with a virtual cabin crew and ground crew to ensure the safety, security and satisfaction of your passengers throughout the course of your airliner flights.
Intercom, Public Address System & Ground Radio
Make realistic in-flight announcements to your passengers, work closely with your cabin crew to manage the aircraft during different phases of flight, deal with technical setbacks, medical issues or problematic passengers and manage the in-flight services provided throughout the flight.
You can work with your ground crew via the ground radio to manage loading the aircraft, pushback from the gate and disembarking your passengers after arrival - all with localised voices based on the airport locations.
Authentic Seating Arrangements and Inflight-Services
Using authentic aircraft cabin layouts to control the seating arrangement and facilities onboard the aircraft, Self-Loading Cargo simulates individual passengers in real-time using their own unique personalities and requirements to determine how much they enjoy your flights and how they react to any issues that may occur onboard or how well they are treated.
Pilot Grading & Passenger Satisfaction System
Throughout the course of your flight, Self-Loading Cargo continually monitors how well you control the aircraft and how effectively you communicate with the cabin crew and passengers in the back.
Additionally, your passengers are individually simulated in real-time and they will rate their flight based on how satisfied they are with the service levels, punctuality, communications and of course their flight comfort - all mixed with their own individual personalities and quirks.
Once you land, you'll receive a flight report showing any comments and a pilot rating to show how well you've done and where you can improve on your next flight.
What does it add to your simulator?
Developed from the ground-up to simulate airline protocols as realistically as possible, Self-Loading Cargo brings a whole new level of immersion (and workload!) to your airliner flights in Microsoft Flight Simulator, P3D, FSX and X-Plane1.

A full flight crew for your flight simulator aircraft
Over 5,000 Pre-Recorded Audio Clips for your Captain, Cabin Crew & Ground Crew - as well as voice control!
Self-Loading Cargo comes with a pre-recorded suite of voicepacks for your Captain, Cabin Crew and Ground Crew interactions allowing them to respond to you in a plausible manner while managing the aircraft - you can also optionally role-play as the Captain and communicate directly with the rest of your crew and passengers via your microphone!
Captain's Voice
Communicate with passengers via the PA system, the cabin crew via the intercom system and the ground crew via a headset link to keep everyone informed of how the flight is going and what they can expect as it progresses from boarding to deboarding.
Cabin Crew Voices
The cabin crew interacts with the Captain via the intercom system keeping him informed of the current status of the passengers and cabin, with dynamic announcements depending on the stage of the flight and any current in-flight services.
Ground Crew Voice
Localised ground crew interact with the Captain during boarding and deboarding keeping him informed of the progress of various services (including pushback that is fully syncrhonised with GSX) - and yes, you can speak to GSX with your voice!
A built-in Audio Manager So You Can "Roll Your Own" Sounds
Self-Loading Cargo comes with a built-in Audio Manager for managing soundpacks and voicepacks, allowing you to create and edit voicepacks either with Text To Speech Providers (see below!) or by recording your own voice from a microphone.
Now with Dynamic Audio Generation from AI Text To Speech Voice Platforms!
Use the power of AI Text To Speech platforms to automatically generate audio for your entire flight crew as and when they speak - with built-in efficient audio caching to cut down on ongoing costs.
Support for over 2,000 Voices From Your Favourite AI Voice Platforms*:
* account setup required for each platform before use - subscription payment may be required.
Fully customisable, dynamically generated AI Captain and Cabin Crew Voice Announcements
All announcements are fully customisable and editable via simple text files and able to be generated from live flight data such as your current altitude, destination, time of day, captain name, purser name - the sky really is the limit!
Advanced Passenger & Flight Scoring
Real-time simulation of individual passengers onboard your flight each with different feelings and reactions toward your flying, your communication skills and the onboard service - culminating in a performance report at the end.
Line Pilot for Self-Loading Cargo
Add additional jeopardy to your simulator sessions with Line Pilot - an addon for Self-Loading Cargo that allows you to join your favourite airlines, manage your aircraft fleets, deal with persistent aircraft cabin damage, generate multi-sector flights and of course, perform seamless on-time turnarounds...
What Our Customers Say
Thousands of flight simulation enthusiasts like you have transformed their hobby into one of the most immersive and involving experiences available on a desktop computer - here are a few quotes from some of them:
Wow, this was definitely worth the wait. I can't fly without SLC nowadays - thank you for creating this wonderful app!
Fabian C., Italy.
I used to love FSPassengers back in the day but this is something else. Completely superior to any other product on the market when it comes to creating immersion and keeps getting better and better with every update.
Callum F., United Kingdom
I enjoy your work, Self-Loading Cargo makes me enjoy my simulator more because it means i have things to do while in the cruise and I won't fly without it any more.
Raheem Q., United Kingdom
It is the best addon I have owned for the price. I hope for more updates so it will get better and better!
Vasquez B., Portugal.
The Dev get's an A+ rating for creativity, thoughtfulness and consideration of subtle details of the processes of pilot, cabin and ground crews--stuff I really never thought about much prior to starting SLC
Noel, U.S.A.
I love how sassy the cabin crew are if I am a bit enthusiastic when I land - not to mention the shouting passengers! Thank you for the immersion I've been missing from my flight simulator, I can't fly without it any more.
Gareth A., Ireland.
Absolute gamechanger. This is something I've been missing for my entire "simming" career and now I can't imagine flying without it.
Neil R., United Kingdom
This is a work of art - now with the GSX integration it's like everything just works together and feels like a real flight.
Chris K., United Kingdom
Thank you for making it stay out of the way! Other programs I tried were up in my face distracting me from flying, but SLC sits to the side and doesn't break the immersion at all - while still being easy to use when I do need it. Great design!
Darrell J., U.S.A.
Wow, a huge amount of work gone into this addon, great job.
Brian M., Scotland
