September 8, 201312 yr So I have noticed a little problem when I use FS2CREW and PS PASSENGER X. I have max realism set in FS Passengers and there seems to be conflict in procedures on the ground regarding the strobe light. FS Passengers demands that the Strobe Light be set to STEADY when entering the runway for take off but my FO in FS2CREW turns it to STROBE when entering the runway after calling for Runway Entry Procedures. Who is right? Is the strobe suppose to be solid or flashing when entering the runway? It costs me 30 points on my score every time I take off if I don't go over to the light panel in the 737 and flick it back to Steady.

September 8, 201312 yr FS2Crew is correct All Aircraft use "Steady" lights when on the ground and taxiing, even when at the gate these lights have to remain on (these are the red and green lights on the wings and the white light on the tail) When given clearance to enter the runway and hold/takoff the crew would turn on the strobes The strobe lights would then be on at takeoff and should remain on until you have landed at the arrival airport. When you land these would remain on until you leave the active runway This makes the aircraft more visible at night So TLDR: At Gate - Steady Pushback - Steady Taxi - Steady RWY Entry - Strobe & Steady Takeoff - - Strobe & Steady Climb - Strobe & Steady Cruse - Strobe & Steady Decent - Strobe & Steady Approach - Strobe & Steady Rollout - Strobe & Steady Taxi - Steady At Gate - Steady Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit | AMD Bulldozer FX 6100 3.9Ghz | H100i | ASUS Motherboard M5A 78L-M | 16GB DDR3 RAM | EVGA Geforce GTX 770 2gb PCI Express DDR3 | 750w Corsair AX750 | 2x 1TB HDD + 180GB SSD | x2 - 24" WideScreen Monitors
September 8, 201312 yr Commercial Member FS2Crew is correct. Also, we recommend users use FSCaptain. The FSPassengers developer quit the Flightsim scene a long time ago and no longer supports his product. Best, B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord

Best, Thanks for the answer. FS Passengers unforunately is the only program supported by my VA that is not their own in house tracking system... which crashes during long flights. I'll take a look at FSCaptain. I hope the features are as rich as FS Passengers.
