Hi,Is there anyone who has done a long haul with RC4 and PMDG 747-400/Level-D 767-300.In the manual it is said that the copilot doesn't work with this simulations.How than can I use RC4 on long hauls f.i Amsterdam - st Maarten ( Antilles) appr. 9 hours ( EHAM - TNCM)Well I can't sit 9 hours waiting for ATC give some instructions.The first hour and a half is OK, but crossing the ocean is the bottle neck.Has somebody did this before and how?????RegardsCarlos

Hi Carlos,Once you reach cruise engage the Co-pilot for comms (CTRL+SHIFT+semi-colon) and that side is taken care of. Of course your flightplan in the FMC will match that supplied to RC so navigation can be handled by the FMC.You need to calculate the ToD point and add 70 miles to it. This is because RC always starts you down earlier than the ToD on the FMC. Enter that distance into the Pause at Distance option (from memory it's on the General page) and FS will pause when that distance is reached.When you return to your PC just unpause FS and carry on as normal. If you worked everything out correctly you will be ordered lower with 20 miles.Cheers,

Thanks RayI will try this out this or next week. There is one other thing and that is that over the ocean, they some times let you fly different levels ( in real life).In the FMC I can set the same level for those legs. No problem.Thanks anyhowRegardsCarlos

>Once you reach cruise engage the Co-pilot for comms> (CTRL+SHIFT+semi-colon)Hi guys,My RC info tells me CTRL+SHIFT+semi-colon saves an RCD file.To hand comms to the copilot the default is CTRL+SHIFT+K.CheersGeoff

Woops! :-erks I meant that one. Glad one of us is on the ball :-)Cheers,

If you mean block altitudes, RC doesn't do them. But as a work around you can request Deviations for Turbulance which will give you the vertical room you need to operate as if you had been cleared for block ops.Or did you mean step climbs?Subs> There is one other thing and that is that over the ocean,>they some times let you fly different levels ( in real life).
