Flight sim immersion is taking a major leap forward with the introduction of Cabby, a new virtual cabin-crew system powered entirely by artificial intelligence. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, Cabby brings a living, reactive passenger cabin to your flights—far beyond the standard safety announcements simmers are used to.
AI-Driven Announcements Tailored to Every Flight
Cabby listens to your flight plan, weather, time of day, aircraft type and routing, then dynamically generates announcements that match the situation. Departing late at night? You’ll hear a different tone and script than you would during a daytime hop. Flying through rough weather? Expect more cautionary messages. Every flight produces a unique cabin-crew profile and matching narration.
A Cabin Full of Virtual Passengers
Instead of generic background noise, Cabby generates a full passenger list with individual personalities. Some may be nervous flyers. Others might have tight connections. Ages, languages, nationalities, and attitudes vary—meaning no two flights feel the same. Passenger satisfaction even changes based on how well you handle taxiing, turbulence and landings.
Boarding Screens and Gate-Style Atmosphere
For simmers running multi-monitor setups, Cabby includes a full “gate display” screen that mirrors the real-world boarding experience. You’ll see the flight number, destination, boarding groups, and hear gate announcements as if you were watching a real departure unfold from the terminal.
Spatial Audio for Realistic Cabin Sound
Using 3D positional audio, Cabby places each sound—passenger chatter, FA announcements, seat-belt reminders—exactly where it should be. With headphones or a surround setup, the cabin suddenly feels alive, with audio coming from the aisles, overhead, or rear of the aircraft.
Multi-Language Support for Global Routes
Cabby supports more than a dozen languages, allowing sim pilots to tailor flights to international routes. Up to three languages can be used on a single flight, perfect for long-haul or cross-cultural airline experiences.
Landing Scores and Performance Feedback
At the end of each flight, Cabby evaluates landing performance and overall flight comfort. This adds a new element to sim operations—your touchdown doesn’t just matter for pride anymore, but for passenger satisfaction too.
A New Era of Cabin Simulation
For years, cockpit immersion has dominated flight simul add-ons. Cabby shifts the attention to the cabin, transforming it into a dynamic, reactive environment that evolves with your decisions. For simmers who crave realism, storytelling, or passenger-focused flying, Cabby marks one of the most ambitious cabin-crew simulations released to date.
