Armen the sounds are incredible on the NGX, I'm going to invest in buttkicker, though I'm afraid I will be tossed out of my seat when I do. :)

I would like one of them anyone recommend them for authentic feel.( Please don't anyone take that the wrong way )

NOT everybody is a fan of fs2crew. I wouldn't use it even if it was a gift to me. It shouldn't be a big deal to include the PMDG's usual and customary PNF call outs in a future update, however it seems the decision to not to include them in the NGX was intentional; want PNF call outs -> buy fs2crew Bozhan

Nevermind, just seen Jack's post. Works for me, keeping it as real as it gets is the way I want to go.

Thanks Richie! Bozhan, Did you read what I said above ?! Because it sounds like you didn't.

Having integrated PNF call outs does NOT make it any less realistic. Remember the real thing does not have a load manager or a maintenance menu either, but it does not make the NGX any less realistic. An usual and customary feature has been stripped from the "base" pack in order to make way for an another product, it did not get any more or less realistic.

Yes I did. :-) Bozhan

Think you missed my point, but carry on.

Roland, Never say never - we were working on the sound programming till the day before release (just made it!!) and we had much more important sound items to finish up. Under these circumstances the FO callouts were considered lower priority, especially when other companies specialise in this area.... but we like to listen and react to our customer's feedback .... who knows what can happen in a future SP ?

Thanks for response. Altough I have Fs2crew for the 747 X and MD11 I am a bit lazy and don' t use it very often. It is nice that you consider to add F/O callouts for those who don't plan to buy FS2crew in the future.

I think everybody owning the NGX should buy FS2CREW ... So no real need for 80knots, Vr and V2 there are no 80knots, Vr and V2 callouts ... look at the menu and you'll see it yourself

Sorry i missed that Part, i think that this could be added easily in the upcomming Service Pack. Greetings Chris

Hi guys - its possible .... .... but don't tell anyone else ..... .... 1) The callouts should be loud enough if you set all FSX sound volumes to "50" (apart from the ATC sound levels which can be set higher) and leave the PMDG CDU sound option "MASTER VOL" on "50" - these are the recommended default settings for optimal sound balance. 2) BUT if you still think its not loud enough then you can follow these instructions: a ) On the main sound page in the CDU raise the "MASTER VOL" from 50 upwards - for example set it to "80" - now ALL the PMDG sounds will be very loud! b ) Then from the same CDU page select "VOLUME LEVELS ADJUST" - now reduce the volumes of all items from "100" to "60" EXCEPT the "GPWS. TCAS" channel - leave that at "100". Now your callouts will be much louder while the other sounds will stay at the same levels. c ) Use the GPWS TEST button on the FO side to check the new level of the callouts until you are happy. Of course, this was just an example, feel free to tweak the levels as you see fit ! Cheers,

They can't be adjusted in my FMS. :(

Hey Dave, What's the matter with them - care to show us a screenshot please mate! Thanks,Armen

Armen - care to elaborate what the CONTROLS and AMBIENCE items control, sound wise?

The AMBIENCE are the cockpit electrics and pack sounds - the CONTROLS are generic sounds including switches and levers. Cheers,

This aircraft is absolutely outstanding in every aspect. What REALLY makes it for me just now though are indeed, the sounds. Sometimes I just sit spooling up the engines OUTSTANDING!

Thanks Phil ! Glad you like 'em!

Is this a joke. They left out the Vr and V2 callouts completely. And now I have to buy FS2CREW to get them, too?

No, YOU left out reading the Documentation !!
