How do you switch from for example _app to _twr without using the mouse?

The X-52 Pro allows you to use the MFD as a radio display. Back on topic

The X52-Pro Throttle has your COM 1, COM 2, NAV 1, NAV 2 Radios and you can change the frequencies from there. Or you can just use your Mouse to setup the frequencies ahead of time. When I am on approach the frequencies are already tuned and it's simply a matter of tapping the correct button below the throttle display.

It's a sim. I don't need an F/O to enjoy it. I certainly wouldn't "park" the best FSX add-on there is for the lack of FS2crew. I find it hard to believe anybody would.

Apparently the OP can't seem to fly without a co-pilot so he has parked his plane. Not that anyone else really cares but thats his choice.

i didn't write this for anyone to care if i use the NGX or not.i wanted to see what other people fly if they are not flying the 737and yes, it is a sim, and in the real world you would not fly the 737 without a first officer, so i like to simulate that too. until we have access to an FO for the NGX, it isn't a complete sim for meand paul, you sure do love to speak for everyone else a lot

Okay so when you get your Co-Pilot I Guess you still won't be able to fly your NGX because nobody would fly in the real world without a cabin crew. :(

Okay so when you get your Co-Pilot, where is the rest of your cabin crew? In the real world you wouldnt fly without a cabin crew either. Guess still won't be able to fly your NGX then cause nobody would fly in the real world without a cabin crew. :(

cabin crew doesn't help fly the planewhy are you so bothered by my choices

I thought it was an interesting post myself. I find FS2Crew adds legs to old in the tooth products like LVL-D 767 also. I would probably not still be flying that bird without it. So to answer the OP's question, I'm similar to you, I still bring out of the hangar both the 767 for the long hauls and the JS4100 for short hops mostly around Alaska which I love with UTX Alaska.And to Paul 2 posts up, the NG is certainly certified to fly without a cabin crew, but not certified single pilot. I think you are just trying to be difficult at this point.

Im not bothered by your choice. I could care less if you ever fly the NGX again. Your the one used the excuse that not having a Co-pilot made it unrealistic. To this I said its not realistic to not have a cabin crew either. But I am not gonna let it keep me from enjoying the best sim out there just because there is no Co-Pilot, Cabin Crew or Pax sitting in their seats. :( Just my opinion and you can easily ignore it by skipping to the next reply below.

I suppose it depends how much you enjoy fs2crew. For me it was something I enjoyed for a few flights and then began to get frustrated by. But I don't get any extra enjoyment reading or following checklists either, perhaps that's why. The 767 version finished it for me. The FO does almost everything, leaving me with little to do. I preferred the LDS built in virtual FO.

well...not having an FO is unrealistic if you are simulating real world operations.and again i ask, what does the cabin crew have to do with flying the airplane?

For those who are open-minded and genuinely in need of a virtual first officer for the NGX, I am pleased to state that we have such a thing.A free fully working Demo is available.

I been wondering why anyone had to take their hands off the stick and needed a co-pilot. Then I realized not everyone has controllers with a ton of buttons like I do with the X52 Pro. I guess it does make it a lot easier. I have the following assigned to the X52-Pro.ThrottleAuto Pilot DisconnectAuto Throttle DisconnectTrimFlaps AxisSpoiler AxisSpoiler Arm/DisarmThrust ReversersStickAuto Pilot EngageGo Around EngageVNAV EngageLNAV EngageLanding GearReset eyepoint ViewPOV ViewCycle ViewZoom ViewParking Brake Engage/DisengageAuto Brakes Increase/DecreaseMap ViewAS2012 XgaugeWith the following options I never have to take my hands off the controls on approach. So I never give having a co-pilot a second thought because everything is right at my finger tips. But given the fact that most controllers don't have all these button options I can see now how some of you could use a co-pilot. Guess I just take it for granted because it so easy to control everything on the plane with my current controllers. I use the Saitek Rudder pedals to complete it. You can get all 3 pieces for about $260.00 USD.

Hey!!! That looks like mine. I can even see the scratches on mine! Why do I have this feeling that you stole it from me? Just kidding! but nothing beats the X52pro I have everything mapped with the SST, using just one mode and the shift, and I still have tons of space left.

For the record, FS2Crew has always simulated a cabin crew IIRC. Specifically the head flight attendant and communication with her throughout critical phases of flight.

I fly NGX.
