And its not what you think, its not FS2Crew but rather my involvement with the sim. I really enjoy setting up the panels, flipping switches, etc. and making sure its all set up correct. I feel like with FS2Crew I am out of the loop and probably will forget everything....actually I wonder how the Captain remembers all the flows when the FO is doing most of the setup work. I have invested in a throttle quad and like to operate the flaps etc. Again, no issue with FS2Crew and I realize this is how line pilots work, I love going through the checklists and doing the confirmations by voice but just saying that I miss some of the stuff I was doing before. If any of you have ideas on how to deal with this please let me know.

I still do a waterfall flow check covering all relevant panels to make sure nothing is amiss before pushback. Other than that, I don't know - since a PNF role cannot be simulated by fs2crew what are the options? But I get your point, the only things I still touch are the taxi lights, MCP/FMC, IRS and lights test...but then if you are busy flying a manual approach I find that the FO eases the workload a lot.

Agreed, once you are in the air the FO is great, I love how he handles the transponder, strobe and landing lights, also the APU when on the ground. I can't tell you how many times I forget to do those or after landing taxi into the grass because I am messing around getting the APU going.
