Do we have a FS Cargo for FSX yet? Or are there similar games available for FSX that involves cargo transport with loading/unloading simulations?
Thanks,
Sid

As far as i know the project of bringing FS Cargo to FSX was going well, but i have not read anything about it for a long time. There is another similar program addon called Cargo Pilot from Just flight that you can try. You can read a review on avsim here: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1006/Cargo/Cargo.htm
It is for the FS2004 version but it gives you an idea about the product.

Here is the link to Just Flight's page: http://www.justflight.com/cargopilot-home.asp

It'd be worth checking out Air Hauler: http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=397

Hi Sid,

basically, we have an FSCargoX version running, but we wanted MORE than just the same thing we had for FS2004. So that's what we started working on.

Some time ago we decided to publish the X-version of the old FSCargo, before continuing work on the 'Expanded' version.

Unfortunately, the developer, Maurizio Gavioli, has not been responding to any of my e-mails lately and I have no idea what's up with him.

Air Hauler is a very nice program (I use it myself), but it doesn't visualize cargo. We were working on getting FSCargo to work with a umber of programs, so we could add the visualization to some of the nice 'management' features others have already made.

I can only hope Maurizio is alright and will turn up again one of these days......
