1) Yes, in Europe the pilots tell the cabin crew to prepare the cabin for landing and also to take seats for landing. But really, how do your flight attendants in the US know the altitude of the aircraft (i.e. descending below 10000 feet)…? Probably because the pilots make some sort of PA, right?

The airline I worked for 10 years ago in the US did advise crew to take seats for landing. Today I routinely fly Delta and Alaska and neither do this. They make an initial descent PA announcement and toggling the seatbelt sign is the audio cue to the crew the aircraft is at 10000 feet and to do their final compliance checks and prepare the cabin for landing, So maybe another option is needed. Alot of us want the passenger and crew aspect but I rather focus on flying the plane. I dont mind doing an announcement at TOD but to do another once we actually start our descent and then another to tell the crew to prepare the cabin for landing and then another to tell the crew to take their seats is just a bit much....

2) By the way the attendants in SLC do arm the doors by themselves, you don‘t have to tell them.

The option is there to tell them via the intercom or PA I cant recall. Which is why I said if he had an actual flight attendant on his staff he wouldn't bother programing this in.

3) As for the cockpit door, SLC does recognize it on my side when I close it on the A32NX by moving the switch to „lock“. Are you sure you locked it? Because the VC will always show the actual door closed, because it‘s not animated.

I did move the switch in the flight deck to lock several times. This last flight SLC showed the door as red and never got locked. On a previous flight it was showing locked (green in SLC) yet I was still deducted for flying with the door open. Also once again maybe an EU thing but the pilots dont close the door in the US on airliners, the flight attendants do it so while I appreciate another thing to be graded on its not implemented the correct way for US operations so maybe need an option to just turn that off as well

The option for a PA is there, yes; but if you don't do it the flight attendants will (no score deduction, so all is fine). Also again, on some (not all) airlines here in Europe it's the pilot commanding the cabin crew to arm the doors. Steve, the solo dev, is UK based, by the way.

As for the cockpit door, it works in my A32NX with SLC, no idea why it doesn't for you. I guess we'll soon get an option to exclude the cockpit door from the scoring, like with basically any other thing. But what you demand - the FAs closing the cockpit door - is not possible, since SLC cannot interact with the actual aircraft product. E.g. while SLC can close "its" door, it cannot close the door on the Fenix or A32NX or whatever, so what you would get is an SLC-closed door that is yet still open animations-wise in the sim.

Generally IIRC you can turn off the scoring for certain PAs, like the "prepare for arrival" PA, can't you? There's a LOT of customization options in the settings, make sure to look through them.
