Hi Bryan, I was thinking UPTO 45 minutes before departure from the gates. Minimum should remain as is (30 minutes) as I think this is sufficient for a realistic (somewhat quick) operations. User can always fast-forward in both cases. You guys made a decision to keep it 30 minutes for both products (PE & FBW A320NX). So for people like me, if you want, you can hide alternative time setting in a config file or something. I'm not too fussed. Just happy you are even considering the change. However, if the interest is there from other users, perhaps a setting within the App config settings would be preferable. May I also note that because both products were in tandem, it would be prudent to add this change to both. Otherwise, I'll have to keep tabs on the countdown on one and accelerate the other to match. Cheers mate.

Thanks for the response. I am aware of fast forward - both on PE & FS2CREW FBW A32NX. Just want to have more time so I can realistically refuel and get passengers onboard. Thanks for considering this. It is appreciated.

Hi, I don't know if this has been asked/considered or not. I could not find anything when I searched. Can we please have the option to set our own time value for Pushback Express Events. At present it is set to default of 30 minutes countdown. I use some other tools too and to synchronise all the events properly, it would be great if we can set this time value (either through PE GUI or through a config file). Thank you for consideration. Regards, Yousuf

Okay. Thanks for your time, responses and consideration. All the best mate.

Yes sir. Although if it is possible & easy to implement - functionality to set a sound to be played when 'x' happens (e.g. doors are closed) would be fantastic.

Hi Bryan, Thanks for your reply. Apologies for a belated reply. I was expecting an email when someone replied to my posts because I had set notifications on. Anyway, yes, that was what I was asking for: Some extra buttons. The labels of which I (user) can set and the audio files they play. The intention is to play audio files in this order: 1. Boarding music/ambient sound as you are parked, Jetway is connected and passengers are boarding 2. Safety announcement as you taxi (seat belts, where the exits are, etc.) 3. After Take-off - pilot has turned off the seat belt signs but please keep them fastened, we will be serving snacks/meals (short/long flight) shortly, etc. 4. Landing - We will be landing soon 5. After landing - remain seated until we arrive at the gates, etc. 6. Disembark - Portable devices must not be used until you are inside the airport, for safety do not walk under the wings, keep your children safe, etc. I know that FS2Crew does play some elements of these. However, these are airline specific. I have some samples if you are interested. Let me know how I can send them you if applicable. This is only a suggestion and I thin it will make it much better. Otherwise, they is at least one such tool out there and who knows, I myself may right a small WPF application that will do all this. Thanks for your consideration. Kind regards, Yousuf

Apologies - it should be 'byork'. !

Hi, I'm a recent customer. Getting to know the product and enjoying it (with FlyByWire A320NX). I have a request: Can you add the ability for us to add additional sounds and corresponding buttons for them? I am aware that 'bjork' replied somewhere in this forum that you guys may consider adding passenger boarding sounds. But I am talking about an additional panel that the user can customise. This is a sorely missed featured in my opinion because there are other sounds people would like to add for different stages of the flight. This will also allow users to add various airline 'themes' - a set/collection of buttons on the PA / Purser / Misc. panel where we can play various sounds as and when necessary. There is already a freeware which allows such functionality. Honestly, custom panel (with buttons and custom sounds) will elevate this to the next level. I also think use of custom sounds by the user should free you from any licensing obligations from various airlines as well. Thanks for the consideration. Sincerely, Yousuf
