Congrats on a well written review that hopefully gets other flightsimmers also aware of this tremendous software!/Krister

This is due to the way FS2Crew handles the pushback tug.You should get your ATC back after the tug disconnects.Cheers,

Hey Bryan, hope you are well. Seeing as there won't be a Voice version for the MD-11, I'm probably buying the button control MD-11 shortly, since, well, I love your products. But, I just read the review (which gives a pretty good idea of how things work if you've never used a button control bersion before), and noticed that it says the program kills the "pause" feature in FSX. Is that true? I know pause isn't very realistic, but it also isn't very realistic to have your three year old come in and tug on the yoke, or have your wife tell you to take out the trash, while mid-flight. EDIT: I think I mis-read the review, or its just unclear, but the pause function still works, right? (I can't imagine you would do that, but, now I want to check.)Best,

Hi Doug,We don't -and cant- disable 'pause'.So no worries there.Best,

Hi, i am thinking about getting this,

 

Maybe i am missing the point (not unlike me) but fs2 crew is the pilot calling out the checklist and the f/o doing it all(button pushing lever pulling etc etc), can these roles be reversed?, ie pilot calling out checlist and f/o (me) doing all the manual stuff.

 

Thanks

Hi Paul,

 

Not possible to make the computer the Pilot flying, and you the Pilot Monitoring.

 

How would the computer know how to fly the plane, and where to go? Each flight would have to be totally scripted.

Hey Brian, thanks,

Computers and programs can do some great things nowadays, but i guess not this great, it was just a thought (albeit a silly one) after all it is computers that fly planes anyway

 

Thanks, it wont change my views on purchasing it though

I just read the Avsim review, I have about 100 hours in the MD-11, I have never owned FSCrew for my other favourite (NGX) either.

 

I wanted to learn the planes thorougly before going FSCrew and now feel ready, and I don't think I can control myself any longer

 

One question, I fly only online on Vatsim, that means without FSX ATC (and AI), how will I use FSCrew in an online environment, both when live ATC is online and when I am on Unicom? The videos I have seen are often using FSX ATC and that makes me shiver
