New Airbus SOP and questions about VoxScripts and Checklists

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'd like to ask if there is a more recent version of the Fenix / Airbus SOP available for MCE. The default one provided is a bit older and is not used anymore by many european airlines.

If not, I would consider implementing those...so it would be helpful to understand how the built-in VoxScripts are working (what triggers them and what they are doing). Therefore, I would like to know:

  • Where can I put checklists without admin rights?
  • Where are the built-in VoxScripts located?
  • Where are the original checklists located?

Best regards,
Andreas

MCE is designed for real world pilots. You can get the crew to perform exactly what you want, when you want and even using personal speech. Therefore, flows can be altered at will. 

The co-pilot is trained to perform "micro-actions" which when combined together can build any task. You call the shots.

They are located under \My Documents\Multi Crew Experience\Myvoicescripts\Copilot\Aircraft folder.

Flows for A320 would be in \ASOBO_A320_NEO\ (they apply to Inibuilds A320/A321 and Fenix A320 as well). This way, when you update them for one plane, you won't have to do that for each as they are same type.

These will show when you go to "Command" tab and click <Voxscript> button.

MCE always assigns a default checklist from the installation folder.

If you need a custom checklist to match your own airline, copy one of the default checklists and paste it to \My Documents\Multi Crew Experience\ folder

Rename the new file to something like "My_A320_Check.txt" or "Lufthansa_A320_Check.txt"

Edit it using Notepad only.

Read document Windows Start->Multi Crew Experience->How to customize checklist

With a Fenix variant loaded in MSFS, go to "Checklist" tab in MCE UI and click <Change> button.

Browse to the location of the personal checklist and select it.

When promoted whether you'd like to always use that custom checklist with that plane variant reply "Yes".

From then on, MCE will assign the custom checklist on start-up when that variant is loaded.

I have some more questions:

  • Is there a description available for the checklist format supported? I.e. are tabs required to be used?
  • How to flows and procedures trigger? Can they be connected to a checklist?

How can items like here be supported:

Here is one way to implement it.

Note: where the reply is an underscore "_" (and a single one is allowed per line) speech engine switches to "dictation mode". You can reply with anything you want

When //3 is appended to a line, it means both you and the captain must reply. For items where only FO checks item, append //2

Hello,

This checklist is very helpful. However, I am still not sure how I can make answers more flexible, e.g. to be able to answer the 'baro reference' challenge with any qnh setting, followed by 'set' (and then repeated by the FO by adding //3). With the standard Fenix checklist, the FO gets very confused if I add some numbers or positions in the checklist. Can I do that by saving it as 'baro reference  --  _set //3'? And e.g. in order to be able to say 'autobrake low set', to change it to  'Autobrake -- _set'? Where the _ stands for any 'free speech' word? Thank you for clarifying!

For items that the FO checks like Autobrake selection, the '_' isn't suitable as there is no guarantee the speech engine will detect speech that is 100% related to autobrake, low, medium, max, off. Best to use "as required" or "set" in place of reply.

Use the '_' for items where the Fo isn't going to challenge your reply, like listing Vspeeds or FCU settings, departure briefing...

[ ] item to check  --    _ set  (this one is OK as well if speech always ends with "set"

With //3 and the use of '_' as a reply, since there is no guarantee what speech would be detected (in dictation mode) and considering the limitations of a human recorded voice pack (despite  4600+ recordings per FO), the co-pilot may or may not repeat the entire speech you spoke and may want to consider trying a high quality TTS voice instead.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer. It is clear to me now and I adjusted the checklist, which works very well now according to my wishes!
