FS2Crew T7, More to do enroute ?

[jordanal 70]

Hi Bryan,

Just curious if the FS2Crew 777 version will have more FS2Crew 'to do stuff' between TOC and the TOD?  I always thought the NGX was a little lacking in this respect - guessing it was based on the specific carrier OPS it was modled after.  Some things you might add for the 777 FS2Crew enroute OPS might be:

 

• ETOPS management
• Step climbs and/or management of the new auto-step-climb functionality in the T7
• Interaction with the Cabin Calls on the center console FMC
• Manage or announce long haul flight status, meals, or movies
• Simulate crew change from crew-rest area
• Interaction with the keep-alive (must touch button or knob) every so often - some PMDG T7 liveries have this accurately enabled
• Interaction with the auto-sim-rate functionality built into the T7

Also interaction with the fuel auto-uplift and ground-crew operations timing in the FMC PMDG Options area?

 

Thanks for considering these basic ideas.  I just wanted to note them while fresh on the brain.  B)

Great ideas!

 

The thought that on this ultra-long haul aircraft FS2Crew would not only add an F/O but also a Senior First Officer or relief pilot is really awesome! B)

Yes, Nice Idea!

We'll see what we can do.  A lot depends on how good the SDK is.  SDK still has not yet been released.

 

I'm not really sure how I would model 'crew switching'.  AI is not good enough to have a computer pilot take over half way and land plane while you go back to the crew rest area (namely, your bed :-) )

LOL, but what if I've had too much to drink?  A rested crew from the bunks might be awfully advantageous, LOL...    :fool:

"ETOPS management"

Nice idea!!

Movies, meals, drinks and interacting with the FA/passengers is simulated in FSPAssengers.

 

The other options would be great.

Used FSP for years and thoroughly enjoyed it while it was actively supported.  Obviously, it's now a dead product with too many conflicts with the PMDG birds - specifically, ridiculous tire blowouts on greased landings.  It's no longer an option....

I'd suggest FS Captain for the PAX stuff (and the dispatch/operations/timetable stuff) and FS2Crew for more procedural features like "Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim".

... "Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim".

Classic man, LOL....  :lol:

What you you miss the random gun fire sound effects on approach to Podunk, Nebraska :-)

How about a longer detailed FA announcements for example since this will be a modern plane it would have audio visual on demand. In the current airbus fs2crew the FA say somethin along the lines of "we will now be playing a movie..." Something like this would be nice obviously except the emirates bits

Would be a nice little touch to hear "welcome on board this boeing triple 7 aircraft...." Etc etc than just general sounds

The hardest part is sourcing quality cabin recordings.

 

I would like to get a new set for the 777.

 

If you can help me obtain them, it would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,
