March 20, 201016 yr Just wondering if there is a voice command to make the FO turn the speed hold function of the autothrottle off? I'd like to use this on approach when I wish to take manual command of the throttles. The only thing I can get the FO to do is completely turn off the A/T at the moment which is very unrealistic as the autothrottle should remain armed incase TOGA is required at any point during the approach. I may be blind but couldn't see anything in the manual about this.One more quick one....in the checklists, the response for engine start switches is always "flight". I've only ever heard that response in the real world be "continuous" and seeing as the switches are infact set to continuous rather than flight, surely the checklist response should be "continuous"?Cheers737PIC version i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson

March 28, 201016 yr Author Of course turning the A/T off will give me control but my point was that, that's unrealistic. The autothrottle remains in armed mode until after touchdown and the speed hold is disengaged through a "soft" disengage function. I've actually figured out that all I have to do is say "speed hold" and the FO will disengage the function for me although he still says "speed hold engaged". Not a big deal and I'm happy with the result.Good news about the start switches commands, I didn't realise there are multiple responses s thanks for that.One other thing....I know you're busy with the J41 edition but can you make an estimate for release of the final release version of the service pack for the Wilco 737? I'm still having the mute problems and am unable to fly the aircraft online with FS2Crew as a consequence.Thanks i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson

I think I nailed that bug hopefully. I'll know soon. Once I have that, I can release an update. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
March 28, 201016 yr Author OK thanks Bryan that sounds great. I appreciate a developer that can give honest status updates like that! i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson
