Contacting Ground Cew

[damienw 1]

Some of you have been having difficulties contacting the ground crew for pushback, here is a detailed explanation on how to accomplish this:IMPORTANT: Whenever talking to the Ground Engineers, the Captain's Audio Control Panel and Service Interphone Switch on the Aft Overhead Panel must be setup as shown below otherwise the Engineers will not hear you!AFT OVERHEAD PANEL - ENSURE THE SERVICE INTERPHONE SWITCH IS SET TO 'ON'.CAPTAIN'S AUDIO CONTROL PANEL - ENSURE 'SVC' IS PRESSED IN AND THE VOLUME IS UPNote: YOU MUST USE THE CAPTAIN'S AUDIO CONTROL PANEL!!!!!!! NOT THE OVERHEAD OR FO'S AUDIO CONTROL PANEL.OTHER OPTION: Use the FLT Interphone instead on the CAPTAIN'S PANEL AUDIO CONTROL PANEL. This is simpler, but it's less common in the real-world. Press in the FLT Mic Selector switch as shown below. The Service Interphone switch does "not" need to be on.Speak the words clearly "Cockpit to Ground" or "Ground From Cockpit"On the FS2Crew Main panel, it must display "S Crew Eng Start" to be able to call the ground crew for pushback.I hope this clears up any confusion with regards to contacting the ground crew for pushback.
