In your Cold and Dark panel state, is the GPU connected but not on?

All MSFS FS2Crew's were updated today! Change Logs: https://fs2crew.com/fs2crew-change_logs/ Product Manager: https://fs2crew.com/downloads/ One big thing we have in the new updates is a new stand-alone voice training tool. It's better than the old version. Words will no longer get cut-off in the script. We have a full announcement on our Discord channel: https://discord.com/channels/922947931273842689/922949892354224128

I recall the GPU panel state has the GPU available but not connected. The FO will press the EXT button, thus having the GPU powering the aircraft. If the GPU is not connected, the FO should start the APU (thus you'll have your AC power source).

Letting FS2Crew users know that FS2Crew user, Ashraf, has created some really nice airline Cabin PAs for use with FS2Crew PMDG 737 SOP 1 and 2. Ashraf is also the producer of the Cockpit Sim Aviation YouTube channel, which often show cases FS2Crew and his home cockpit in action. Note: These files are not official FS2Crew files, and we are not hosting them. They are Ashraf's files, not ours. But we will share the link here on Ashraf's behalf!

I recall you need to use the GPU panel state.

We don't really have a singular "FS2Crew is running" LVAR that we transmit. Have you personally verified this report of gear up? Which FS2Crew are you testing with?

Which panel state are you using?

Most simmers wouldn't know. It's an airline specific thing.

Well, of the people who reported this issue, the common denominator was Addon Linker. None of us on the FS2Crew dev team can reproduce this I'm afraid.

Hi Luke, Are you referring to MSFS or FSX/P3D FS2Crew products? Any particular one in mind?

I don't think there is an absolute correct setting as many options would be airline specific. Be sure to check our Discord channel; lots of lively RAAS discussion there: https://discord.gg/ZJ4HKx727m

Are you using the freeware program, "Addon Linker" by chance?

What's your "User controls GPU" option set to? When you say fresh, are you sure the panel state files were totally clean? Did you manually delete them prior to re-installing?

Please ensure you are using fresh, original FS Labs panel state files, not custom ones. I recall this is how the other user solved it.

I wrote the solution above: Airbus: Remember you need to use the Aerosoft Configuator (assuming you're using the Aerosoft Airbus) to enable FS2Crew and get FS2Crew on the panel.cfg file.787: Ensure you enabled it as described in the manual. Also search sub-forum here. Please check if you see FS2Crew entries on your panel.cfg files for these aircraft. I suspect they're not there.

You tried this? Please ensure that the following FS2Crew options are select off: 1. USER CONTROLS GPU ... that must be off. 2. TRANS STOP-NO CREW CHANGE: NO ... that must be off. Try with the cold and dark panel state with the options set as described above. The FO should turn on External Power during the Preliminary Cockpit Prep flow.

[25 June 2023] FS2Crew "SOP 2" for the MSFS PMDG 737 has been released! SOP 2 is very different from SOP 1.

FS2Crew Weekend Update: Just letting people know our "surprise product" won't be coming out this weekend. It needs a bit more polishing. But it's pretty ground breaking! In case you're wondering, it works exclusively with the FBW A32NX version of FS2Crew. I know when we release it there will be a million questions about it (like why does it work with the FBW and not the PMDG), but please hold off on the questions for now because I can't say anything. Also, SOP 2 for the PMDG is on track to be released next week. We just finished processing over 13,000 sound files for it However, we have a conundrum in that releasing two products at the same time isn't a good idea. We'll see! Have a nice weekend!

I stand corrected 😉 The Maddog is very old. And I forget we had that option. Getting old!

FS2Crew has no such configuration option. There's no Ini file for such a thing.There's a voice command to turn on the autothrottle, but nothing to make the FO do it by himself.Turning on the autothrottle is the Capt / PF's job.

We also have another surprise... coming out next week maybe... stay tuned my friends 😉

FS2Crew Weekend Update: 1. PMDG 737 "SOP 2" Edition is basically done. All that's left to do is run the voice sets through post production. Hoping to launch next weekend. Key word 'hoping'. In case you're wondering how many new brand new sound files are in SOP 2, the number is well over 13,000. It'll take time to check all of them. As with PMDG SOP 1, we have a lot of human voice sets available on the initial launch. Also, SOP 2 is very different from SOP 1 with respect to procedures, checklists, etc. 2. Experimental versions of FS2Crew: A reminder, please check our Discord Channel "Announcements" channel for the latest experimental versions of MSFS FS2Crew Products. Reminder to disregard the message about the critical update since it's an experimental build. Link to our Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/ZJ4HKx727m 3. And one more thing... We've hired a new (additional) programmer just to handle the new ATR. In order to handle all the new planes coming on line, we had to expand our programming staff!

Correct, Airbus changed their checklists/ sops a lot a few years ago. FS2Crew Fenix models the current Airbus standard checklist.

We're now recording voices for the PMDG 737 SOP 2 version! If you'd like to volunteer your voice, please send us a ticket at: www.fs2crew.com We'd especially like female voices where possible. Cheers,
