I am using FlyByWire A320 version of MCE. I would like to ask about checklist and flow button & voice function.

About checklist voice:

When I call "...checklist", will FO confirm actual situation of related item in checklist before change to next item in checklist?

For example:

FO call: Seatbelt. Then I answer: On. But actually Seatbelt switch is "off". Will FO feedback that I am wrong and need to recheck to turn on Seatbelt switch? Or is there any function that FO will control switch Seatbelt to "On" before continue confirming next item in checklist?

Currently, when FO call "Seatbelt", my Seatbelt switch is "OFF", I answer "ON", but FO still continue to call next item in checklist even actual Seatbelt switch is "OFF".

 

Is there any function to let me do as "Calling" person to call item by item in checklist and FO do "answer" person to confirm situation of item and feedback to me?

 

About flow & checklist button function:

1. I press "F" button, then FO did "Power on flow". After FO said Power on flow completed.

2. I press "F" button, then FO did "Cockpit preparation flow". After FO said "Cockpit preparation flow" complete.

(Until this steps, I saw CTR TK Pump 1 and Pump 2 has been still "OFF". I tried call VoxScript "Turn off all fuel pump" but FO also did not turn off CTR TK Pump 1 and Pump 2. I don't know what is the reason. Then I manually to turn off CTR TK Pump 1 and Pump 2 by myself.)

3. I press "F" button, then FO did again "Cockpit preparation flow", I think FO need to do "Before start flow" but FO didn't do "Before start flow" and there's no "Engine start flow". Then I need to call "Before start flow", then Engine start flow" by VoxScript custom myself.

4. After 2 engines started, I press "F" button, then FO did "After start" flow.

5. I press "F" button, FO did "After start" flow again not "Taxi" flow, I think FO need to do "Taxi" flow.

I tried to press "C" button to call FO to do checklist. But FO continue doing "After start" checklist again, not "Taxi" checklist..

Is it normal function of MultiCrewExperience FlyByWire A320 version or faulty? Or Did I do wrong procedure?

The FlyBywire mod is a nightmare to keep up with. Consasnt renaming of local variables which occasionally cause the Fo to lose control of the item that was changed. Will be checked against latest and an update will follow.

Regarding F button...

To distinguish between "cockpit preparation flow" and "before start flow", the beacon light being on is the signla you're about to start engines,

You can always call a specific flow by pressing "R" (request) button and selecting some action from the list, including calling specific flow or checklist, not to mention requesting engine start.
