May 14, 200620 yr Just joking about doing nothing!But it is a serious point that I get much more realism with FSCrew, as the FO does most of the button pushing.The post below the go-around is a good one, how many FS9 pilots could do a realistic go-around in something as complex as the 767 without an FSCrew FO?

May 16, 200620 yr I don't mean the following to dispute the enjoyment that FS2Crew brings lots of people. It is a very well written program, works great, and works exactly as advertised. Fantastic manual and tutorial too. I don't dispute any of the comments below.I'm pretty "hard-core": I do flight and fuel planning, fly real routes, follow SIDs, STARs and approaches, etc.However I personally found that in a weird way it actually reduced my experience of "realism". Operating the add-on, especially with the need to maintain the proper button sequencing etc., I found myself following a script and thinking more about the add-on itself, rather than getting deeply immersed in the sim itself.Put another way, I found that the "accuracy" was very high, but the reduction in virtual workload made everything a bit too easy. Without FS2Crew, the need to manage all the work of multiple folks, flip all the switches, program the FMC, and stay ahead of everything during the whole flight is probably less accurate, but for me it keeps the intensity up and keeps my head "in" the sim more.Super product, but not necessarily for everyone (or every "hard-core") perhaps.
May 16, 200620 yr Author Commercial Member Hi Schmeeling,Thank you for the kind but words, it is appreciated. As for thinking more about the FS2Crew itself than the 767: Once you've done a several flights and you've got the flow of the program down pat, you won't even think about program as it will all come naturally. Your focus can than be re-directed to other aspects of your flight.Cheers,Bryan B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
