I'm going through the wonderful process of a full FSX reinstall and it makes you asks questions of yourself at every turn. For the Q400, during the Audio Test you get : Left speaker test : Right speaker test. I'm not sure if this test is to replicate the cockpit audio or the PC speakers sound check. If it is for the PC sound test, would it be feasible in any future update to add : Headset test? (I think the situation is the same with the NGX and i'm not sure of the other aircraft) With best regards Trev

For a complex cockpit sometimes it helps to be able to fall back on something simple as a reminder. I know I suffer sometimes a blank mind wondering what I missed. I use the fingers on my right hand as a reference for this aircraft. If you stretch out your hand, the thumb points forward and the 4 fingers point away to your right. The thumb pointing forward represents the spoilers switch (taxi). The 4 fingers are just for the throttle quadrant area. Trim (white arc) Park brake (off) Props (max) Flaps (set, not 0) Hope this helps Trev

Thanks for the update Ben.

I finally got to downloading and flying lesson 10 this week. The video still shows the gap in sound mentioned previously. Also at 49:30 one of the ATC voice segments was not swapped. Is the intention to fix this? Great videos and looking forward to the next series. cheers Trev

You can also switch off TrackIR for each individual camera view by deselecting the TIR button. I normally use the pilot / copilot positions with TIR and close ups to things like the FMS without TIR. This gives the stability to do precise things like button pushing while still enjoying the flexibility of looking around in the main views. Hope this helps.

Thumbs up.

Yes I understand. Just wishing.

Hi Bryan, Comparing the NGX I see there are simple things missing with the Q400 which could add to the experience. Runway entry procedure Check with PNF announcing ready for takeoff. Cold weather and deicing procedures. Anything else that can be taken from the NGX which could be used in the Q400. Hopefully you can add these in at some stage. Best regards.

As per second post, you can click on the 'time remaining' to fast forward one minute per click.

Thanks for the response and the reminder about the props being in max when at reduced NP. Doh. Right out of the manual. Cheers Trev

Hi, After flying with FS2Crew for enough flights to get comfortable it is time I listed a few abnormalities while running through the tutorial. v1.1 Start crew: The term Cockpit to ground is recognized but not Ground from cockpit for some reason. It shows in the green bar but no verbal response. I can successfully request connect external power but not disconnect. Are there any requirements prior to disconnecting ext. power? After start: There is no voice command for pulling the chocks. Final approach checklist. Condition levers - Max even if using reduced NP. Is there a check response while using reduced NP? This is all I can find so far. Well done on a solid out of the box release.

it is obvious you are back because you proceed with the checks, but the coms responsibility seems uncertain who is now monitoring.

Thanks for the response Brendan. One other thing I forgot to add last night was during descent before the line check, the Copilot announces he is going off one to talk to the PA and doesn't announce he is back on one but continues his check. Is this normal?

Thanks for the quick response Bryan. Like I said, its most likely my end. I will try some more flights tomorrow. Looking forward to the comments on the MFD1 to doors issue

Firstly, thank you for an excellent release. Everything seemed to work well. Each new aircraft release just builds on the previous ones. Very well done. My comments... 1. After landing checklist - MFD 1 to doors. By doing this action the taxi speed is not available anymore. Can this action be delayed until the parking? 2. There were a couple of stages prior to flight where the main panel didn't proceed to the next section but I think I will leave that until I try a few more flights. Probably issues my end. 3. Just a suggestion. Since the rudder trim is a big feature of this aircraft, can it be included to command the PNF to set the rudder trim to a value. (ie Rudder trim right 6) So again Bryan and the testers, thanks again for a great product release. best regards Trev
