:( A ton of "Are you sure about that's". "Yeah Im sure, Im looking right #$%# at it! Your fired!!" Have you asked the F/O to set altitude yet? LOL Mine set it to 40,000 feet no matter what I said. And I wasnt even going to ask him to set landing speed just before landing :(

Please run the Voice Training again and ensure you're using the correct Syntax:You must use the exact syntax and confirm what you're saying against the Green Bar.Speak each number clearly... don't say like "set speed eighty" that won't work.Mode Control PanelALL NUMBERS, AS INDICATED BY ‘XXX’ MUST BE READ BACK USING THE FOLLOWING SYNTAX AS AN EXAMPLE:* ONE ZERO ZERO* ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED* TWO ONE FIVE* ONE ZERO EIGHT POINT FIVE ZERO

I had this problem yesterday after having to do a Go-Around,If you see that the PNF is running away with the MCP, simply say "Cancel Last Command" and he will stop immediately.When it happened to me, the PNF slowed right down to the new requested number but as soon as he finished it continued to go hay-wrire again so I manually set it up for the remainder of the landing.Must of had something to do with the go around or something me thinks.

I had today the similar problem. Also the similar problem for setting the flight level, speed and course. The before start checklist behaves also strange. For example, fuel pumps are on, it says "double check that please". It occurred after i disconnected accidentally the gpu. I reconnected the gpu, then fs2crew started to behave strange.

Did you by change change the panel state after opening the fs2crew main window ? what panel state are you using ?

Hi Bryan,Thanks for your reply.Yes, I used correct syntax and confirmed against the text in the green bar.Another things,1.The copilot change the transition altitude and level uncorrect. (it set correct in FMC).2. V1, VR reading are not as V1, VR in FMC.The first flight these things there are ok, but in second and third are dissaster.

Greg,Please paste your CVR log from the Config Manager.This way we can see what was said when you got the runaway.Best,

We can't read "flaps 5 / 15 speed" etc off the PFD... it's not available via the SDK.So you have to say the speed manually, ie., "set speed 1 8 0"Best,

Are these issues happening on the first flight or the second flight ? Also, when do you enter V1 and Vr in the FMC ? i need to know exactly when you setup that part of the FMC.Are you running the prefligtht events or starting with the engines running ?

Greg,Are you "saving" your flights?FO doesn't touch the Transition Alt... he reads it but he doesn't write to it.If things are going well on the 1st flight, but not the 2nd or 3rd, I suspect flight data is not being saved properly (if you are in fact saving flights). Could be a PMDG/SDK issue.

Hi Bryan,I don't save my flights.BUT the FO change the Transition Level and altitude by himself...What should I do?

The F/O cant change the TL/TA because he does not or cannot write to the FMC. He sets the altimeter to standard and local pressure settings via his efis panel, that's the only interaction the F/O has with that other that reading it out of the FMC.

As Damien said, FS2Crew can't "send data" or write to the FMC. However, we can push buttons on the FMC via the SDK, but we don't use the numeric keypad at all.At what precise moment is the FO changing your TA/TL.??? This happens everytime, even on the 1st flight?Sorry, this one has me scratching my head.
  • Author

Sorry if I said it uncorrectly before.The FO is not changing data in FMC but he is pressing pressure to standart at wrong altitude and the same thing at approach,almost all data in FMC is correct.I entered the transition altitude to 5000 and transition FL to FL060. The FO pressing the STD pressure button at 18000 feet and changing to QNH 1013 bellow the TL.
