I think I'm getting the basic understanding for this software and how it responds. I was wondering if there is anyway to go about skipping where the panel says PF main. All I want to do is go through my checklist. Push back and depart within a reasonable time. I don't know what que I'm missing or if its possible to let me configure the plane. I want to configure the plane before push back.

Hi Nathan,Yes, you can skip to any location desired... just click the arrows on the Main Panel to move to different postions.For example, if you want to start in the Take off Position.Just press the arrow icon to skip to "TAKEOFF" as shown in the Main Panel.Then speak "Takeoff" into your mic, and you're flying.Cheers,

The problem is I would still like to run through the preflight checklist and have my FO do before start procedures. I guess my problem is when I get to the start/push back option nothing happens. I can contact ground crew tell them what I want, but I never get a response about pushback.
