I think, for me, the most enjoyable way to fly is to keep involved with all aspects of the flight segments. I don't remember making a flight without Fs2Crew. I utilize both voice and button control versions. Unfortunately, I would like to use VCV more often but I am having some technical problems with my PC. I still find the way to utilize Voice Control .

 

Recently I made some coast to coast flight with VCV, but something was bothering me. . In my return flight, I realized FS2Crew automation isolated me in my cockpit involvement.

I can't know which switches or buttons are clicking in my cockpit, where and why. I enjoy more of a learning process not less.

 

I request from Bryan, If it is possible, to develop a third option (if three are many members will like the idea) - First Officer / Pilot Not Flying below Flows can be done by me

 

and If I missed item or wrong doing of the check list. then F/O can warn me "Are you sure" phrase and I can correct the item.

 

Thanks

Hi Ahmet,

 

It's a great idea... I'll consider it!

 

Cheers,
