April 23, 200521 yr Hello. Could someone tell me what's the best cockpit announcement program? I'm finding my cockpit very quiet and lonely. ThanksWendy
April 23, 200521 yr Hi Wendy,Are you using the PMDG 737NG series? If so, isn't the rattling and buzzing and fanning racket enough for you? :))) Seriously, though the only one I've heard of is FLIGHTDECK COMPANION.I believe it can be configured to run with many different add-on aircraft.... and if you still find it too quiet after this, then we'll have to get you the Preservation Hall Jazz Band straight from New Orleans or AC/DC - to perform right inside your cockpit. Should please your passangers too! :))John I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo" CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, socket 775/3GHz/1333MHz bus/6MB cache MOBO: Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n/Intel X38 chipset RAM: 4GB Kingston HyperX 1333MHz. rated 7-7-7-20, matched pair (2 x 2GB) GRAPHICS: Sapphire Radeon 5770HD 1GB (w/ fan) MONITOR: Samsung 24", 2494HM LCD wide-screen 1920x1080 SOUND: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS HARD DRIVES: 1xWestern Digital WD1600JD SATA 160GB (primary/Windows XP and system boot drive) 1xWestern Digital WD3200AAJS SATA2 320GB (secondary/Flight Simulator 2004 running off WinXP Pro 32-bit, games video editing drive) 1xWestern Digital 500GB Black series SATA2 (Windows 7 64-bit: FSX is running off Win7; Windows XP Professional 32-bit) CASE: Antec Sonata III 500W OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit for FSX; Windows XP Pro 32-bit for other things.
April 23, 200521 yr Not an announcement program, but a lot more - FS2Crew, for the 737NG. I recommend WARMLY..
April 23, 200521 yr FDC is excellent and can indeed be configured as you like. There's a setup for the PMDG 737 series in the library here at Avsim.I've not yet used it with the 737 but use it a lot with the PSS Airbuddies and the RFP.
April 24, 200521 yr FS Flight Keeper has a pretty comprehensive sound environment package, consisting of announcements/ambient sounds triggered by phase of flight and capable of being customized by the user.

April 24, 200521 yr Or check AVSIM for the freeware flight announcement panel. It's doing wonders for me.I have FSD, but havent used it yet. Still reading the docs on it. In the meantime just doing the simple stuff and using the freeware panel off AVSIM.
