head scratch moment

[Eagle99z 21]

Hi, I use fs2crew on the ngx and as the Majestic has always been that aircraft I struggle with, I thought id buy the FS2CREW make things a little easier.

 

so when I was learning the NGX I used to let the FO do all the switches at the start to start her up without something going wrong. and I used to watch the switches to learn them.

but when I try to let fs2crew help me it seems too do not a lot I use the button version, I don't know if the instal is broke or its just designed to do not a lot but it feels like the FO is sat playing candy crush while I am struggling to work out where or what does what 

 

any help would be great

Hi Ken,

Not totally sure I follow.

But be sure to read the tutorial here.  You can see everything the FO does.

Byork has the best advice, but I will say that the Q400 flightdeck is busy. Unfortunately I don’t have the NGX yet so I can’t compare, but I use the button version of fs2crew with the Q400 and while it does simplify things a bit, it’s still a huge workload for the captain. By comparison, when I use aerosoft airbus and have the FO do his/her part I feel like I’m not doing much at all.  If I’m short on time I don’t bother getting into the Q400, it just takes time to get the thing set up. For what it’s worth, Airline2Sim has fantastic instructional packages for the Majestic Q400 that have helped me a lot.

Turbo props tend to be higher work load than jets, and the 737 is a higher workload plane than an A320...
