Hello guys!
I'm new to MCE and have been making my own scripts for the FSLabs A320 based on my airline and airbus SOPs, So far I've done everything down to engine start.
First of all, thanks for creating such a powerful tool with such a broad range of options to configure our favorite aircraft!
So far, MCE works perfect and is a joy, but I've noticed a few details while using it with FSL A320, wich I hope you can help me with:
A very small one is that during the 'cockpit preparation' flow, once the crew gets to 'glareshield' the pilot monitoring is supposed to finish his scan on 'Instrument Panel' ---- IRS align.
That's checked via the MCDU, DATA page, LSK1.
The script I've done ends up with:
right cdu press data
right cdu press lsk one
pause=2
notify=i r ss within limitations
pause=2
right cdu press flight plan
Except, I don't think the copilot recognizes the DATA page. I tested the others, FPLAN, DIR, RAD NAV, etc.. and it recognizes all of them except for DATA.
In the after start flow, the PM adjusts the pitch trim. Is there a way to make it read the value from the MCDU and adjust it?
I also tried making scripts for one engine taxi out, since MCE can handle most elements for it.
My scripts are called "staring engine one" which is the standard call out made by the PF and "engine two start procedure". But when I say that, the copilot starts the engine. Same with engine 2. If I announce "starting engine two", the PM will start the engine and won't go through the script.
Is there a way to turn off this behavior just for engine start? Since the PF starts the engine and the PM says "checked"
Now, that made me test the FMA. when I announce an FMA mode change, for example, speed 220 blue, the copilot sets the speed to 220 instead of just answering "checked" and when I ask for "pull speed 220", he just pulls the knob, or if I ask "set speed 220" he'll change the speed but he'll announce something different rather than the standard callout "speed 220 set".
I know the answers are random to make the software more dynamic, but is there a way I can change those callouts? If there's not and it's kind of a hassle, I'll be more than happy to write a list of standard callouts or help to make the script work.
Again, thanks for a unique piece of software!!
Regards.
