April 19, 201115 yr Hello fellow PMDG737 Voice Commander+SP1 users. As there was no response to my earlier post re: a flow sheet being available for the PMDG 737, I used a PIC 737 as I read that it would be compatible.Loaded flight, followed flow sheet to the dot except when I came to the PB stage. Called for pushback,got the response,but as soon as I said "We're ready for pushback and start" immediately the sim went CTD. Eh? Anyone any idea what exactly caused this? Yesterday when I got to exactly the same stage using Henk Altena's flow sheet for the default 737, I got no response and thus carried out a manual PB using the default FS9 keystrokes. Now, I get a CTD. I'm baffled.Any help appreciated. Rick Almeida
April 20, 201115 yr Author Bryan, kindly explain why is it that when I ask for a Pushback according to the manual, which is more or less in line with the same Voice Command for the PIC 737 flow sheet, I get no response from the ground crew? I have also tried every Command as per listed in that section of the Manual, all to no avail.Please assist.Thank you. Rick Almeida

The mode should be something like "Start Crew Engine Start"Also make sure you're using the exact voice command and it shows up in the Green Bar. B.

I am as per what I see on the FS2Crew Main Panel, in yellow, "Start Crew Engine Start". The start crew accepts the initial call 'Cockpit to Ground'.Then immediately after, the whole sim just goes into a severe jitter across the screen,followed soon after by a CTD,and a FS9 reference to d3d9.dll being the culprit. Until then I have no graphics issues,and moreover, I have just downloaded and re-installed the latest DirectX driver as well as the very latest NVidia drivers.The voice command does show up in the Green Bar when I make the initial 'Cockpit to Ground' voice call,and I hear the start crew replying.It's the next voice call, 'We're ready for pushback and engine start' which again is seen in the Green Bar that I do not get a response to 'release brakes' from the start crew, which is when the above scenario kicks in.

April 22, 201115 yr Author Hi Rick,Try it again at a different airport in Africa (no 3rd party scenery or AI traffic) to rule out that part.Hello Bryan.Thank you for your reply. After having a few issues in that my PMDG 737 gauges would not load,sue to 737n.gau CTD,after a thorough clean-out,and total re-install of all PMDG and FS2Crew components,did as you suggested trying a flight from a small airport in the default scenery in Africa. Now, I'm happy to report that most of the FS2Crew VC flight phases from Cold 'n Dark to Securing went well,except, I still could not engage the start crew to carry out a pushback when I declared 'We're ready for pushback and engine start',and after numerous attempts went back to a manual P/B.Additionally,I'm finding that the F/O is taking a long time to respond to Checklist requests which I can see in the Green bar,and am in the correct Main Panel status.

I'm not sure what your accent, but try to make it even more neutralish.Also, there are three training vidoes for the Default 737 version (procedures are the same as the PMDG 737) version on the FS2Crew YouTube channel:You can see the Pushback procedure in the 3rd training video.http://www.youtube.com/user/FS2Crew?blend=3&ob=5As for slow FO response: That I'm not sure about about. For checklist, the FO should reply immediately. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
