Did you hear of FS2Crew yet? I don't have it but it sounds like it is exactly what you have been looking for.

According to the website, it is made for the PMDG737 though.I would like to use it for my other aircraft without losing any of the fidelity. WHich doesn't seem possible with FS2Crew. :(

Interesting!Does it have realistic sounding ATC Chatter in the background and not that "stuff" we get in FS? This is really important to me.Thx for the help so far, guys!:)

There's Flight Deck Companion, which has already been mentioned, and there's FSHotSeat (which is what I use).Since I haven't tried both, I can't say which is actually better, though.....

Get FS2Crew. After 3 flights you won't use anything else. Must be used with PMDG 737-800-900Andrew.

Shane,I've been using FDC for a long time (don't remember how long any more)and would recommend it very highly if your want so additional "immersion" into your sim experience. Works well with most aircraft ... free and pay ...I don't fly commercial a/c ... jets or turbo ... without it!!!! Well done and well supported by a nice bunch of people, imho.

I've been using the original Flight Deck Companion (FDC) since it first came out and to me, it's the #1 add-on. I use it along with "Enviro" for ATC chatter and the combination works great for me. There is a new version of FDC that just came out but I'll stick with my older version as I have it set up really good with about 20 extra announments that I can make anythime I want to and a lot of "automatic" announments also.

Gents,Just to let you all know,The current version of FS2Crew will be modified in short order to work with default 737 and freeware 737s. FS2Crew will also be modified in the future to work with most popoular 3rd party addons. It takes time to do though given the level of detail that FS2Crew aims to incorporate. Every plane is different and cannot be done the same way. One size does not fit all.FS2Crew is in a category of its own and my feeling is that would be inappropriate to compare it to other "checklist" programs out there given the scope and nature of what it does. FS2Crew is meant more for the advanced user type than the casual gamer type.I won't comment any more because I'm baised of course, but the FS2Crew Support forum is on Avsim and there are links to official reviews there if you want to check them out.-Bryan York

Shane I have used Flight Deck Companion for years. I also have taken ATC chatter files from out of Radar Contact and dropped them in the correct folders of FDC for very realistic chatter. FDC is a good overall program, with lots of flexibility. I would buy it again, and use it 90% of my flights.Noel
