Okay thanks. That answers my question. I haven't used any of the new FS2crew stuff since I've gotten out of modern airliners, the last one I used was for FS2004. I guess I wasn't clear in my post above. I'm aware how checklists are run, I use them in a real multi-crew environment every day. I just wanted to know if there was an option for the AFE to wait for you to confirm an item or switch an item before moving on to the next one or if it would just truck along and do it all if you didn't. I guess I thought it might get balled up if you started clicking switches and such. Not sure why. I didn't necessarily mean it as read and do. Anyway, thanks for your answer! Justin Mailman

Hey all! Very interested in buying this airplane, but I have a question. I generally stick to single pilot aircraft and or simple multicrew planes since I can't stand not having a Co-pilot. I'm a real world pilot and I just can't get over having to fly a complex multicrew airplane without any help. I see that this airplane has a virtual flight engineer which is fantastic, but all the videos that I see using it, it seems like just a click and watch sort of thing. You start the before start checklist and just listen to it happening, then start the engines and move on to the next step... which is cool, but not entirely realistic. That would be nice for the after takeoff, before landing etc, but not the before starts and that sort of thing. Is there a way that the flight engineer will read out the checklist and wait for you to perform the action? Sort of like FS2Crew. Or do you simply have to click the button and wait for everything to play out? Thanks in advance, Justin
