Voice ControlVoice Control harnesses the power of Speech Recognition technology to interface with the simulation.

Please select from the appropriate category below:

Home > Voice Control > General Requirements

General RequirementsTo use a 'Voice Control' version of FS2Crew, you need to meet the following requirements:

Minimums:

Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX or FS9 depending on the version of FS2Crew).

A microphone.

A legal copy of the associated host aircraft. Unless your FS2Crew is for a 'default' aircraft that ships with FSX or FS9 out-of-the-box, FS2Crew doesnot include the 3rd party host aircraft. FS2Crew is a 'stand-alone' program that functions with your existing aircraft.

Host Aircraft Requirements:

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK:

Required Aircraft: PMDG 737 NGX.

Available from PMDG at: www.precisionmanuals.com.

Software Version: Service Pack 1C or later.

Speech Recognition Requirements:

XP users must install SAPI if it's not already installed.

Windows Vista or Windows 7 users, particularly those from outside the United States, must be able to set their Speech Recognition language setting toENGLISH - US. Please consult the Speech Recognition Setup page for more information.

USB headset.

Windows 7 - 64.

Notes:

1. A generic, no-name brand USB headset is usually sufficient. An expensive, noise-cancelling headset is a plus, but it's hardly necessary. FS2Crew highlyrecommends USB headsets because they are much easier to configure and setup compared to the old style 'plug-in-a-jack' type headsets.

2. Windows 7 64 handles memory much better than XP. If you're still using XP or Vista, FS2Crew recommends upgrading to Windows 7 64. In addition, ifyou have a non-English version of Windows, FS2Crew recommends that you purchase either an 'English' or ''Ultimate' version of Windows so that youcan easily meet the requirements for Speech Recognition.

3. If you cannot meet the requirements for Speech Recognition, FS2Crew recommends using a Button Control version of the software instead.

4. The host aircraft should have all the latest updates installed and be correctly configured before installing FS2Crew. Make sure the host aircraft isworking well with no problems before installing FS2Crew!

Home > Voice Control > Quick Start Guide

Quick Start GuideThe following guides offer a very brief overview of how to to start using the software.

Please select your product from the list below:

Home > Voice Control > Quick Start Guide > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE


1. Ensure you have SP1c installed. SP1c is ONLY available in the PMDG Support Forum at Avsim. If in doubt, re-install it. SP1b is NOT sufficient. If SP1cor later is not installed, FS2Crew will not function properly!

2. Setup Speech Recognition. Don't forget to train your Voice!

3. Go to Windows Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Communications. Select "Do Nothing" when Windows detectscommunication activity and click apply.

4. Open the FS2Crew PMDG 737 Configuration Manager and press the "Enable FS2Crew Voice Control" button. (Important: Ensure UAC isdisabled and run the Config Manager as an Admin).

5. Setup Soft Mute and Hard Mute.

6. Learn how to open the FS2Crew Main panel.

7. Ensure your NGX loads by default into the 2D Cockpit, and not the VC.

8. Ensure the default aircraft loaded by FSX is NOT the NGX or any other 3rd party aircraft, but rather the Trike. (This is also a PMDG recommendedprocedure).

9. Read how the in-simulation FS2Crew Main and Configuration panels operate.

10. Print out the Flows manual.

11. Print out the Voice Commands and Voice Checklist Manual. This is the heart of the simulation. You MUST print this section otherwise you will be lost!

12. Ensure the PMDG 737 NGX's built in FO callouts are disabled.

13. If you have any problems, check the Troubleshooting section.

Windows XP Windows Vista andWindows 7

Home > Voice Control > Speech Recognition Setup

Speech Recognition SetupYour Speech Recognition setup varies depending on your Operating System.

Please select your Operating System below:

Home > Voice Control > Speech Recognition Setup > Windows XP

Windows XP

Step 1:

XP users may or may not have the required 'Speech Recognition API' (SAPI) installed on their computer.

To check if you already have SAPI voice recognition software on your computer, open the ‘Windows Control Panel’ and click the ‘Speech’ icon if it’s there. If youcan see a ‘Speech Recognition’ tab, then SAPI is already installed on your computer.

If you’re an XP owner and you do not have SAPI installed, you can download SAPI via the following link:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/4/3/B4314928-7B71-4336-9DE7-6FA4CF00B7B3/SpeechSDK51.exe

The file is called: SpeechSDK51.exe

Step 2:

How to install SAPI:

1. Create a temporary folder on your desktop. You can give it any name.

2. Double click the 'SpeechSDK51.exe' file you just downloaded.

3. You will be asked to extract the contents of the exe to a folder.

4. Click the 'Browse' button and select your temporary folder, then press 'Unzip'.

5. Open your temporary folder, and double-click "Setup.exe".

6. When done, you can delete the temporary folder.

Step 3:

Your Speech Properties panel in XP should look like the following screen shot:

Step 4:

Press 'Train Profile' to run the voice training.

Note:

If experience difficulties with Speech Recognition, please consult the Troubleshooting section.

Home > Voice Control > Speech Recognition Setup > Windows Vista and Windows 7

Windows Vista and Windows 7

Step 1:

Open the 'Windows Speech Recognition' panel via the Windows Control Panel. You can locate this panel easily by typing "speech recognition" in the Search Boxon the Windows Control page page as shown below.

Voice Control . 4

[www.fs2crew.com]

Step 2:

Microsoft's 'Windows Speech Recognition' system must be OFF prior to loading Flight Simulator.

To ensure Windows Speech Recognition does not load on Windows Startup, make sure 'Run Speech Recognition at Startup' is unchecked on the SpeechProperties -> Speech Recognition page, which is located in the Windows Control Panel.

Make Sure 'Run Speech Recognition at startup' is UNCHECKED!

Step 3:

The 'Language' setting on the Speech Properties -> Speech Recognition page must be set to ENGLISH - US.

5 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

This is a CRITICAL step that is often overlooked by users from English speaking countries other than the United States, especially those from the UK andAustralia.

If you are running a non-English 'Home' version of Windows 7 or Vista, and you cannot set your speech language setting to English - US, you have four options:

1. Upgrade to Windows 'Ultimate' or 'Enterprise'. 'Ultimate' or 'Enterprise' owners are able to download and install the English language pack fromMicrosoft, but 'Home' version owners cannot.

2. Downgrade to Windows XP.

3. Install Vistalizator. Vistalizator will switch your OS to English. Many FS2Crew users from non-English speaking countries have used Vistalizatorsuccessfully so they can enjoy the benefits of Voice Control. (Note: To use Vistalizator, you do not need to uninstall Windows 7 SP1... all you need todo is run Vistalizator in compatibility mode.)

4. Use a 'Button Control ' version of FS2Crew instead of Voice Control.

Step 4:

Run the Voice Training so the computer can learn your voice.

This is a CRITICAL step. If you don't run the voice training, your speech recognition accuracy rates will not be high.

You may even want to run the voice training more than once.

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup

Mute Key Setup'Mute' is used to prevent the virtual First Officer/ PNF from acting on any inputs received by the Speech Recognition system.

'Mute' is useful when communicating with on-line ATC, or if you do not anticipate communicating the the virtual First Officer for extended periods of time.

There are two kinds of Mute: Soft Mute and Hard Mute.


7 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

Soft Mute Hard Mute

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE


Please select from the list below:

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Soft Mute

Soft Mute

Used when you only want to employ Mute temporarily, such as when communicating with on-line ATC.

Works on a "Push-to-Hold" basis.

If using on-line ATC, you would assign 'Soft Mute' to the same key used for your ATC 'Push-to-Talk (PTT) switch'.

An "M" symbol will appear in the left hand side of the FS2Crew Main Panel display area when operating.

By default, the LEFT or RIGHT CONTROL key acts as the SOFT MUTE KEY.

To create a Soft Mute key assignment in addition to the default LEFT and RIGHT CONTROL KEY, create a joystick or keyboard button assignment for'PROPELLER SYNC (ON/OFF)' in the FSX 'SETTINGS - CONTROLS' menu.

Voice Control . 8

Important Reminder: Even with mute enabled, the Speech Recognition will still detect any inputs received via your microphone; in fact, you will still seeactivity in the Green Bar that displays what the Speech Recognition system is 'detecting'. The difference, however, is that the virtual FO will not act on anywords or phrases the speech the Speech Recognition system detects.

For example, if you cough, and the Speech Recognition system somehow interprets that as "Gear Down", you will still see "Gear Down" in the Green Bar, but theFO will not put the gear down.

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Hard Mute

Hard Mute

Used when you want to employ Mute for extended periods of time.

Works on a Toggle On/Off basis.

An "M+" symbol will appear in the left hand side of the FS2Crew Main Panel display when operating.

Can be toggled On/Off by pressing the "HM" button on the FS2Crew Main Panel.

Can also be toggled On/Off by creating a keyboard or joystick assignment for ALTERNATE STATIC (ON/OFF) in the FSX 'SETTINGS - CONTROLS'menu.

Important Reminder: Even with mute enabled, the Speech Recognition will still detect any inputs received via your microphone; in fact, you will still seeactivity in the Green Bar that displays what the Speech Recognition system is 'detecting'.

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICEThe NGX needs to load by default into the 2D cockpit, never the VC or Spot View.

This is to ensure the aircraft initializes properly.

After the 2D cockpit loads, you can switch to the VC view if desired.

To ensure that no duplicate V1, VR and V2 calls are heard, please set the "F/O CALLOUT"' options below to 'NO" via the "SIMULATION" menu in the PMDG 737NGX's FMC.

Home > Voice Control > Troubleshooting

TroubleshootingFS2Crew has years of experience developing flight simulation products. The following solutions can be used to solve problems you may experience.

Problem: I'm getting a Crash to Desktop (CTD) when I load the host Aircraft, and the the error message refers to 'FS2AUDIO.DLL'.

Solutions:

1. If you have two sound cards running in parallel, disable one of them.

2. If you are running any program in the background that that attempt to strip Digital Music Rights (DRM) from music, such as Tune Bite, SoundTaxi or Sound Bite, please disable them. They interfere with FS2Crew's Audio Engine. Some of these types of programs are legal in parts of Europe,but they are not legal in the United Sates.

3. Re-install FS2Crew again, but do not click 'cancel' during the install. Wait for the install to finish.

4. If using a Creative Labs X-Fi Extreme Audio Sound Card, uninstall the latest driver and re-install the original driver off the CD that came withyour Sound Card. The latest driver conflicts with the FS2Crew Audio engine.

5. Sometimes users have corrupt versions of the FSX.CFG file. Delete the FSX.CFG file. It will re-build automatically when you load FSX. Your FSX.CFGfile is located here:

Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

Windows Vista/ 7: \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Problem: The 'VOICE' button on the FS2Crew Main Panel will not stay on.

Solution:

Voice Control . 12

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. If using Vista or Windows 7, ensure your Speech Recognition Language Setting is set to English - US. This is something users from the UK or Australiaoften miss. If using XP, ensure you installed SAPI.

2. Check for error messages in the 'Speech Recognition Init Log', which will be available via the FS2Crew Configuration Manager.

In 99 percent of all cases the problem is because you forget to set your Speech Recognition Language Setting to English - US if using Vista orWindows 7, but sometimes the problem is associated with having a corrupt system that prevents the Speech Recognition engine from loadingproperly, particularly if the Speech Recognition Init log shows this error:

Creating the ISpRecoContext object... Error Code: 0x80045003

We're finding that some 3rd party programs that perform Systems Repair/Mechanic type functions may be damaging the user's Registry, which in turnsdamages the speech recognition system that comes with Windows.

In these cases you'll find that all 3rd party programs on your computer that use Microsoft's Speech Recognition API will be non-functional, not justFS2Crew.

Vista / Windows 7 users have resolved this problem by re-installing Windows. We also suggest trying a Systems Restore.

XP users can try uninstalling SAPI and then re-installing it.

If you get this error:

Creating the ISpAudio object... Error Code: 0x8004503a

Check your USB headset. It may be faulty. Exit Flight Simulator, and try loading FS2Crew again but with your USB headset unplugged.

Problem: When using the FS Video Marshaller, my computer crashes.

Solution:

1. You must be in 'Windowed'', not 'Full-Screen' mode when using the Video Marshaller. You can switch between video screen modes by pressing ALTENTER on your keyboard. Only attempt to open the FS Video Marshaller panel via the FS2Crew Main Panel if you are in Windowed Mode.

Problem: During flight, I get random crashes.

Solution:

1. Random crashes can be attributable to numerous different sources and can be very complex to troubleshoot. They are often connected to bad videoand audio drivers. Also, certain 3rd party scenery or AI traffic in Flight Simulator can be faulty and eat up huge amounts of memory. If you get arandom crash, you should try flying in an area that does not use 3rd party scenery or AI traffic. Certain 3rd party scenery add-ons are infamous forcausing problems. FS2Crew adds very little overhead to the simulation in terms of memory usage. FS2Crew is not a heavy graphic program, andheavy graphics are what eat up the largest amounts of memory. If you're experiencing random crashes, you may want to adjust your FSX displaysliders to the left as you may be hitting FSX's 4 GB internal memory limit. You may simply be pushing your system too hard. You may also want toconsider deleting your FSX.CFG file as it may be corrupt. FSX will rebuild a new FSX.cfg file when it loads.

2. Upgrading to Windows 7 - 64 bits (or later) is highly recommended. Windows 7 handles memory more efficiently than XP or Vista.

Recommended Sites to help Troubleshoot Random Crashes:

Avsim CTD Forum

Problem: I'm experiencing a frame rate drop.

Solution:

1. Ensure your speech recognition language is set up properly. If it's not, your system will grind to a halt.

2. Double check your Sound Card settings. One beta tester cranked his sound card's settings up to 24 bit (192,000) and had some frame rate loss. Whenhe returned his sound card settings to their default settings - 16 bit (44,000) - his frame rates returned to normal.

Problem: I cannot hear the FO's voice.

Solution:

1. Check your audio setup. If using a headset, ensure you've selected the associated Audio Device on the FS2Crew Configuration Panel. As a test, makesure HS (Headset) is unchecked on the FS2Crew Main Panel. This way all sound should be routes through your main speakers. Sometimes users justhave complex audio hardware setups, and they just need to experiment with their audio hardware settings. Also consider getting a USB headset: USBheadsets can resolve a lot of problems due to their simplicity.

Problem: My voice recognition results are not very good.

Solution:

1. Check your audio setup.

2. Get a USB headset.

3. Be sure to run the Voice Training .

4. Speak in a neutral mid-western American style accent in a clear and distinct way.

5. Reduce ambient background noise as much as possible.

6. Upgrade to Windows 7 - 64 or later. The Windows 7 speech recognition engine is better than XP's.

Problem: Speech recognition is having problems detecting certain words. Can I train the speech recognition system for "specific" words?

Solution:

1. Yes, you can use the dictation facility in Windows.

2. First, start 'Windows Speech Recognition' (this is not the FS2Crew Speech Recognition system, but rather the speech recognition system that comeswith Windows).

3. Open a text document.

4. Next, dictate a list of words you are having trouble with.

5. Every time the speech recognizer makes a mistake, use the "CORRECT THAT" voice command. This effectively train the speech recognition engine torecognize how you pronounce these words. You may need to dictate and correct the same words multiple times until the recognition rate improves.

Problem: I spoke "LANDING CHECKLIST", and "Landing Checklist" was displayed in the Green Bar. So I know the Speech Recognition system detected thecorrect phrase, but nothing happened. The FO never replied.

Solution:

1. You were probably in the wrong FS2Crew Mode. The displayed mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must match the checklist you are attempting to use. For example, in order for the Landing Checklist to work, the mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must say "LANDING".

For product specific Troubleshooting, please select your product from the list below:

Home > Voice Control > Troubleshooting > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE


Problem: The FO is acting strange. For example, the beacon was on, yet during the checklist he said "Are you sure"? during the beacon challenge.

Solution:

1. You need to ensure you have installed SP1C or later. SP1B is not sufficient. SP1C is currently available via the PMDG Support Forum only. Re-installit if in doubt.

2. Ensure that the TRIKE is the default aircraft loaded by FSX. NEVER HAVE THE NGX OR ANOTHER 3RD PARTY AS YOUR DEFAULT AIRCRAFT.

15 . Voice Control

3. You need to ensure that the NGX loads by default into the 2D cockpit, never the VC, via the FSX setting shown below here:

Problem: I cannot open the FS2Crew Main Panel via the clickspot in the Virtual Cockpit.

Solution:

1. If you have extra, non-FS2Crew, 3rd party panel windows installed on the NGX's panel.cfg file from other addons, you may be bumping into a panellimit. The solution is to use the available MAIN PANEL JOYSTICK/KEYBOARD ASSIGNMENT to open the Main Panel.

Problem: The text in the FS2Crew Panel windows seems much too large.

Solution:

Voice Control . 16

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. Reset your Windows Font size to the default setting: 100 percent.

Problem: When I switch the VC panel, the FS2Crew volume drops.

Solution:

1. This is an an FSX issue. You can reset the FS2Crew volume by re-opening the FS2Crew Main Panel while in the VC.

Problem: When calling for the 'DESCENT CHECKLIST', the FO says "I AM READY FOR THE BRIEF".

Solution:

1. You need to run the Approach Briefing on the BRIEF PAGE before calling for the Descent Checklist. If you do not want to run the brief, speak "AREYOU READY FOR THE APPROACH BRIEF?" Close the brief by asking "ANY QUESTIONS?"

Problem: As per the instructions, I assigned a key command for ‘Soft Mute’, ‘Hard Mute’ and toggling the Main Panel in the FSX “SETTINGS – CONTROL”menu, but they do not work. I press the assigned keyboard button and nothing happens.

Solution:

1. You have a matching keyboard assignment in the PMDG FMC’s 'KEY COMMANDS' section that is conflicting. Create different keyboard assignments. Or delete the PMDG keyboard assignment. FS2Crew and the PMDG NGX cannot share the same keyboard assignments. For example, if 'X' is used as akeyboard assignment in the PMDG KEY COMMANDS menu, you cannot use 'X' as a FS2Crew key assignment.

Problem: I clicked the Standby Attitude Indicator gauge area to open the FS2Crew Main Panel , but the Main Panel did not open.

Solution:

1. Run the FS2Crew PMDG 737 NGX Configuration Manager and ensure you pressed 'Enable' FS2Crew. That will result in the FS2Crew Windows andGauges being dynamically added to your PMDG 737 NGX Panel.CFG file.

17 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

2. MAKE SURE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL (UAC) IS DISABLED AND THAT YOU'RE RUNNING THE FS2CREW CONFIG MANAGER AS AN ADMIN.

Problem: I commanded the FO to engage VNAV, LNAV, etc., and the FO did not engage VNAV, LNAV, etc.

Solution:

1. The autopilot and/or FMC is probably not setup properly to accept a VNAV engagement command. When you ask the FO to engage, for example,VNAV, FS2Crew will send a 'signal' to the NGX via the PMDG SDK to engage VNAV. However, if the aircraft is not configured properly to engage VNAV,VNAV will not engage. In these situations, try clicking the VNAV button on the MCP with your mouse. If VNAV does not engage, make sure theautopilot is setup properly. Remember that for the 737's autopilot to engage, the controls must be centered first.

Problem: While using multi-player, I'm getting kicked for 'event flooding'. I'm also getting stuttering while using the Aivlasoft EFB.

Solution:

1. There is a bug in the PMDG 737 NGX asociated with the FO's VSD display. The FO's VSD triggers 'event flooding' when it's turned on. The solution is todisable the FO's VSD via the PMDG options menu.

2. You can also stop FS2Crew from turning on the VSD by opening this file located in App Data with Notepad:

Users\----- YOUR USER NAME HERE ------\AppData\Roaming\FS2Crew2010\Versions\PMDG737NGX\SavedData\FS2CrewData.ini

Change: DisableVSD = 0 to DisableVSD =1

Problem: The FO's volume is jumpy.

Voice Control . 18

[www.fs2crew.com]

Solution:

1. Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Communications. Select "Do Nothing" when Windows detectscommunications activity and click apply.

Problem: A different FO's voice announces V1, VR and V2. So I have duplicate calls.

Solution:

1. Disable the V1, VR and V2 callouts that are available with the NGX via the 'Simulation' options menu in the PMDG NGX's FMC.

19 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

Problem: I can't communicate with the De-Icing Crew. I'm using the correct voice commands.

Solution:

1. Make sure Comm Radio 1 or 2 is set to 121.65.

Problem: I can't talk to the Engineers or Start Crew. I'm using the correct voice commands.

Solution:

1. Make sure the NGX is setup properly first as shown below so that you can communicate via the Service Interphone:

To open and close the FS2Crew Main Panel in either the 2D or Virtual (VC) cockpit, left click in the center of the Standby Instrument Panel section as shownbelow.

Notes:

1. The appearance of this panel area depends on if your PMDG 737 NGX 'Standby Instruments' airline equipment option is set to 'ISFD' or 'Analog'.

Troubleshooting:

1. If you click this area, and the FS2Crew Main Panel does not open, it means that the FS2Crew window and gauge entries were not added to the PMDG737's Panel.CFG file. You probably forgot to 'enable' FS2Crew via the FS2Crew 737 NGX Configuration Manager. You can manually check if FS2Crew

Voice Control . 24

[www.fs2crew.com]

was added to your PMDG 737 Panel.CFG file by opening the Panel.CFG file with Notepad.

The PMDG 737 NGX Panel.CFG file is located here:

Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800NGX\panel\panel.cfg

Special Tip:

You can also assign a Keyboard or Joystick button to open and close the Main Panel.

To create your "Toggle Main Panel" assignment, create a joystick or keyboard button assignment for 'AUTOFEATHER (ARM/OFF)' in the FSX'SETTINGS - CONTROLS' menu

You can select any Joystick or Keyboard assignment (or both).

IMPORTANT: Your PMDG 737 NGX cannot use the same key assignment for any PMDG 737 NGX Key Command function, orthe Main Button will not work!

So, for example, if you use "C" as your keyboard assignment for the Main Button, you cannot use "C" for any PMDG 737NGX KEY ASSIGNMENTS.

Generally, you should never need to turn it 'off'. However, if the autopilot values “runaway” after asking the First Officer 'FO' to set the autopilot, youcan toggle the voice engine OFF and ON to break this cycle. Also note that if the autopilot 'runs-away' you can also use the speech command 'CANCELLAST COMMAND' to stop the run-away.

If the Voice Button does not stay on, there is a problem with your Speech Recognition setup.

DSP:

Toggles green bar on/off which displays what the speech engine hears through your microphone.

HM:

Toggles “Hard Mute ” on/off. If Hard Mute is on, the FO will not act on any input detected by the speech recognition engine.

It's good practice to engage Hard Mute during any period (such as cruise) when you do not anticipate issuing any speech commands for an extendedperiod of time.

HS:

Routes most First Officer audio through your headset.

Ensure the audio device associated with your headset is selected in the Headset display in the Configuration panel. First Officer audio that is notrouted through the headset includes situations in which the FO would not be wearing his headset during the pre-flight events.

Home > Voice Control > Flows

FlowsMulti-crew flying is like a highly choreographed role-play, and the pilots are the actors.

'Flows' refer to the specific sequence of actions each crew member performs during certain stages of the flight. It's like an actor's script.

For example, when entering the runway, the crew would perform their 'Before Takeoff Flows': the First Officer would perform a series of actions in a presetorder, as would the Captain.

In the simulation, each flow has a defined 'trigger point'. In order for the virtual First Officer to start his 'flow' in the simulation, the trigger point must be hit.

Please note that, unless otherwise specified, in FS2Crew:

The end-user in FS2Crew is the Captain and the Pilot Flying.

The virtual First Officer is the Pilot Not Flying.

11. Set QNH in the Standby Altimeter.

12. Call “DESCENT CHECKLIST” after the FO completes his descent flow.

Notes:

If shooting a CAT II or CATIII Monitored ILS approach, you must set the DH selector to RADIO and select a RadioAltimeter value (i.e., 100 feet, 50 feet, etc).

If shooting a non-Monitored Approach (ILS, VOR, NDB, RNAV), then you must set the DH selector to BARO, and selectthe Barometric Decision Altitude as found on your approach chart.

If shooting a normal CAT 1 ILS approach, the barometric Decision Altitude is usually 200 feet above the runwayelevation. So, for example, if the runway elevation is 110 feet, the Decision Altitude (BARO) is probably about 310feet.

TRANSITION LEVEL PROCEDURE

Voice Control . 44

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. The FO will announce "TRANSITION LEVEL" when passing the Transition Level you entered on the DESCENT FORECAST PAGE in the FMC.

2. Set local pressure on the Captain's altimeter (which shows in white below STD), and then press the STD button.

3. Then you need to announce the local altimeter setting:

Example:

"ALTIMETERS TWO NINER NINER EIGHT"

The FO will then read back his altimeter setting.

This is why it's important that the CAPT'S ALTIMETER and the FO's ALTIMETER be synchronized (the option is in the PMDG Optionsmenu in the FMC.)

Approach

1. Update the arrival and approach procedures as needed.

2. Update RNP as needed.

3. Call “APPROACH CHECKLIST” at 10,000 feet or the Transition Level, whichever is lower.

Note:

For airplanes with NPS, the flight crew may enter 125 feet for vertical RNP. While there are no vertical RNP values published on theapproach chart, the use of 125 feet will cause the NPS amber deviation exceedance alert to occur at 75 feet or slightly less deviation,since vertical ANP will be at least 50 feet at all times.

Landing

1. Call “FLAPS___” as required to bring the flaps down on schedule.

2. When on localizer intercept heading, verify that the ILS is tuned and identified and that the LOC and G/S pointers are shown.

51 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]



Note: YOU MUST USE THE CAPTAIN'S AUDIO CONTROL PANEL!!!!!!! NOT THE OVERHEAD OR FO'S AUDIO CONTROL PANEL.

OTHER OPTION: Use the FLT Interphone instead on the CAPTAIN'S PANEL AUDIO CONTROL PANEL. This is simpler, but it's less common inthe real-world. Press in the FLT Mic Selector switch as shown below. The Service Interphone switch does "not" need to be on.

Voice Control . 52

[www.fs2crew.com]

If External Power/Air has been selected as the power source for Pre-Flight, FS2Crew will automatically connect External Power and Air after you start the PreFlight Events sequence.

Note: You can also connect External Power and air by using the FS Video Marshaller program.

Note: If want to use the APU for engine start, you will need to manually start the APU prior to Engine start and turn on the APU Bleed before commencing theengine start sequence. You will also need to confirm on the FS2Crew Config Panel that the Ground Power/Air option has automatically updated to ‘APU’ (the APUbleed switch is the trigger for this to occur. Time remaining to engine start must also be less than 25 minutes). If it remains on EXT, the FS2Crew FO will thinkyou’re still using External Power/Air and perform his actions accordingly.

Note: When using External Power/Air for engine start, you start the left engine (Engine #1) first.

Note: Do not try to start the engines using the Air Conditioning Cart (AC). You can only use the Air Start Cart (AS) for engine start!

Note: For departure, select your power source on the FS2Crew Config Panel "before" pressing RUN PF.

Note: When using External Power/Air for start with Pushback required, you have two options:

Option #1: Start Both Engines at the DEPARTURE GATE Prior to Pushback:

1. Ensure parking brake is on.

2. In the ‘PB REQ’ box select the <-- option as shown in the figure below.

3. The <-- indicates that you will start both engines prior to pushback.

4. Ensure the Service Interphone switch on the Aft Overhead is selected to 'On'.

5. Ensure the SVC button on the audio control panel is selected to on as shown above. (Note, you also simply press in the FLT mic buttoninstead).

6. After you've completed the 'Before Start Checklist' and with the mode in: "S.CREW / ENG START", speak: “WE ARE READY FOR ANEXTERNAL AIR ENGINE START”.

7. Instruct the FO to start number #1. Speak: “START ENGINE ONE”.

8. After starting engine #1 (the left engine), manually connect the left engine generator to the bus and switch the Ground Power Switchon the overhead to ‘off’.

9. Next, instruct the ground crew to disconnect external air and the GPU. Speak: “YOU CAN DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL AIR AND GPUNOW”.

10. Be sure to do Step 9 ONLY AFTER you have manually connected Engine Generator 1 to the bus or you will losepower!

11. The ground crew will clear you to Start #2 when he informs you that the external air and power have been removed.

12. Set the parking brake if it's not already set, otherwise the aircraft may start to taxi when you advance the left throttle as per Step 9.

13. To start Engine #2, advanced the left throttle until bleed duct pressure indicates about 30 PSI, then speak: “START ENGINE TWOCROSS BLEED START”.

14. Next, after both engines have started, call for pushback. Speak: “WE ARE READY FOR PUSHBACK”.

15. Complete a normal pushback sequence.

11. Wait for the ground crew to tell you that the external power and air have been removed.

12. Next, call for pushback. Speak: “WE ARE READY FOR PUSHBACK”.

13. Start Engine 2 when cleared by the ground crew. The ground crew will clear you to start Engine 2 near the end of the pushbacksequence.

14. To start Engine #2, advanced the left throttle until bleed duct pressure indicates about 30 PSI, then speak: “START ENGINE TWO”.

Option #3: Using the GPU for power at the DEPARTURE GATE and the APU for air:

You have the option of using the GPU to provide power and the APU to provide air conditioning.To do that, please do the following:

1. Configure the Captain's Audio Control Panel so you can talk to the ground crew.

2. At some point prior to calling for the BEFORE START PROCEDURE, manually put the APU on the busses so the APU is poweringthe aircraft. If you don't do that, the aircraft will lose power when the ground crew disconnects the GPU!

3. Next, speak: “COCKPIT TO GROUND”. The engineer will reply.

4. Next, speak: “PLEASE DISCONNECT EXTERNAL POWER”.

Using the GPU and External Air at the ARRIVAL Gate:

Many airports do not want you use to the APU. In those cases, you need to connect the GPU at the arrival gate.To do that, please do the following:

7. Next speak: “PLEASE CONNECT THE GPU NOW”.

8. The engineer will then connect the GPU approximately 30 seconds later, and clear you to shutdown Engine #1 (the left engine).

9. The FO should turn on the Ground Power switch to connect the GPU to busses.

10. Important: So you don't suddenly find yourself without power, visually confirm that the GPU is in fact connected to theaircraft and that it is powering the aircraft before shutting down engine #1!

11. After both engines have been shutdown, the FO will commence his shutdown flow.

De-Icing Procedures

FS2Crew for the PMDG 737 NGX models de-icing procedures both at the stand and at remote pads.

55 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

Notes:

You should radio the de-icing coordinator at least 15 minutes prior to engine start to coordinate de-icing.

IMPORTANT (REQUIRED COMM RADIO FREQ):

To communicate with the de-icing crew on the radio, you must set COMM RADIO 1 or COMM RADIO 2 to 121.65.

To initiate the conversation with the de-icing crew, using the following trigger phrase, which must be spoken separately and clearly from any other phrases sothe speech recognition system can easily detect the phrase..

“REQUESTING DE-ICING”.

Example: "De-Ice Coordinator, it's American Flight 24... requesting de-icing."

You will then tell the De-Ice Coordinator what your requirements are for de-icing and your estimated departure time in 'Zulu' time.

The trigger speech phrase to close the conversation is “ZULU TIME”.

Just prior to de-icing and if you want to de-ice at the gate prior to engine start, command the FO to prepare for de-icing by speaking:“PREPARE FOR DE-ICE”.

Note that if you are deicing at a remote pad, you would speak “PREPARE FOR DE-ICE” just prior to the start of deicing procedures.

The FO will then perform his de-ice prep flow:

1. APU Bleed Off.

2. Engine Bleeds Off.

As Captain, you are responsible for:

1. Setting the stab trim full nose down.

2. Ensuring the flaps are up. Ask the FO to raise the flaps. Use the speech command: "FLAPS UP".

3. Ensuring idle thrust.

The FO will leave the APU running if it is already on. If you wish to have the APU off during de-icing, you must manually shut-it down, however, ensure theground power is connected or you will lose power. If you’re at a remote pad, leave the engines running. Make sure Wing AntiIce is 'off'.

After the FO has completed his deicing flow, speak: “DE-ICE COORDINATOR WE ARE READY FOR DE-ICING” to tell the DeIce coordinator that you’re ready tostart the de-icing.

The de-icing team will then de-ice the aircraft. This procedure takes approximately 3 minutes.

When de-icing is complete, the De-Ice Coordinator will radio you, and provide you with his employee number, the start and end time, etc.

Speak “THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP” to disconnect the DeIce Coordinator; that phrase is also the trigger for the FO to configure the aircraft after the deicing.

Note that the FO will wait one before before turning the bleeds back on to prevent de-icing fumes from being ingested into the aircraft. Please be patientduring this period.

As Captain, you need to:

1. Reset the Stabilizer trim to the takeoff setting.

2. Move the control column full forward/aft three times to drain any residual fluid from the elevator balance bays.

Home > Voice Control > Procedures > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Cold Weather Procedures

Cold Weather Procedures

FS2Crew for the PMDG 737 NGX models cold weather procedures. If the route to the runway is heavily contaminated, you may wish to use cold weatherprocedures. This entails taxing to the runway with the flaps up, and then selecting the takeoff flaps just prior to running the 'Before Takeoff Checklist'.

SPEECH COMMAND NOTES FOR COLD WEATHER PROCEDURES:

Voice Control . 56

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. Where you would usually call for the takeoff flaps prior to calling for the ‘Before Taxi Checklist’, speak “LEAVE THE FLAPS UP FOR TAXI”. This will trigger theFO to start his 'Before Taxi flow', but he’ll leave the flaps up for the taxi (after doing a flap movement check).

2. You will need to call for the Takeoff Flaps right before calling for the ‘Before Takeoff’ Checklist’ by speaking “FLAPS 1”, “FLAPS 5”, etc. Wait for the FO toconfirm that the flaps have been set for takeoff before asking for the Before Takeoff Checklist.

To enable cold weather procedures, select “CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y)” in the departure brief.

Note that ’Y’ stands for ‘Yes’.

If you select ‘N’ for ‘No’, the FO will not use cold weather procedures.

Notes:

1. If you wish to use cold weather procedures at the arrival airport, select ‘CONTAM – CLD PROC (Y)’ in the 'Approach Brief' section. When this option isselected, the FO will NOT raise the flaps all the way up during his 'After Landing flow'; instead, he’ll only retract them to flaps 15. Once you arrive atthe gate, the engineers would then inspect the flap tracks to ensure they are clear of snow and slush.

Important: If the flaps are left down, you will need to manually raise them after being cleared by the ground crew to do so.

You will also need to manually shut off the 'ELEC HYD PUMPS' after the flaps have been raised.

Home > Voice Control > Procedures > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Rejected Takeoff Procedures

Rejected Takeoff Procedures

To initiate a Rejected Takeoff, speak: “ABORT ABORT”.

Perform the following:

1. Close the thrust levers.

2. Disengage the autothrottle.

3. Apply maximum braking or verify operation of the RTO system if it was selected.

4. Raise the speedbrake lever.

5. Apply maximum reverse thrust consistent with the conditions.

FS2Crew will change to ROLL-OUT mode.

When you exit the runway, you have two options:

1. If you are returning to the gate, speak: “OKAY TO CLEAN UP”.

The FO will then perform his normal After Landing flow and you can return the gate as per a normal after landing/arrival sequence.

Or:

2. If you want to taxi back for takeoff, speak: “LETS TAXI BACK TO THE RUNWAY”.You will then need to run the Before Takeoff Checklist again.

ETOPS

FS2Crew models ETOPs procedures.

Procedure:

59 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. Unless otherwise authorized, start the APU before the ETOPS segment. The APU must be on for the entire ETOPS segment. You can use the speechcommand: "START THE APU".

2. During the last hour of cruise, speak: "FUEL CROSSFEED VALVE CHECK".

The FO will then perform the fuel cross feed valve check procedure.

ETOPS General Notes:

HF Preflight Check

A reception-only check of the HF radios should be accomplished prior todeparture. This is most easily accomplished by selecting and listening to WWVfor a GMT transmission signal on frequencies of 5000, 10000, or 15000.Note: If the tuning tone plus HF receptions from other aircraft or WWVbroadcasts are audible, the flight may proceed, provided enroute HFradio and SELCAL checks are successful prior to transoceanic entry.WARNING: Do not perform a HF transmissions check if refueling is inprogress on your aircraft or any other aircraft in close proximity.

FMC RESERVES Fuel and Wind Entries

For all flights, both international and domestic, the RESERVES (4L) fuel entryon the PERF INIT page should include the alternate fuel (ALTN), and reservefuel (RESV 10PCT + RSV 30MIN) from the flight plan. CONT- Contingency,ETOPS Add, and Extra Fuel are not included to avoid an erroneousINSUFFICIENT FUEL message.FMC fuel predictions which include fuel over destination on the Progress Page,hold fuel remaining, and the FMC message INSUFFICIENT FUEL are reliable onlyif:· Forecast winds have been uplinked or manually loaded for the entire route.· Forecast winds have been loaded for the descent on the DESCENT FORECAST page.· The flight plan speed / Mach number has been selected on the CRZ page.

Display CEEP and CEXP

The C-EEP and the C-EXP should be displayed by placing the ICAO airportidentifier for each of these adequate airports on a FIX page with /427 (one hour,single engine still air distance) entered on line 2L. First enter the C-EEPreference airport and then, when past the C-EEP, change the reference to theairport for the C-EXP. The intersection of these green arcs and the magentaactive course line reflect the C-EEP and then the C-EXP. This will normally bewithin a few miles of the latitude / longitude defining the C-EEP / C-EXP on theflight plan. It is important to note that the airports defining these points may notbe the designated suitable ETOPS alternate airports.

HF Radio Check

The HF radios and HF-SELCAL must be checked prior to the loss of VHFcommunications. The appropriate frequencies will be assigned enroute or canbe found on the Jeppesen Enroute ChartTransoceanic communications are conducted primarily by HF radio. Thefollowing checks will ensure that the HF radios are functioning properly.Prior to loss of VHF communications:· Select the appropriate HF frequency from Jeppesen charts or as assigned byATC on both radios.· Key microphone and listen for the tone.· Contact appropriate agency for HF and SELCAL check.· Both SELCALs can be checked simultaneously by setting the samefrequency in both HF radios.If both SELCAL units are inoperative, a constant listening watch will bemaintained on the primary HF frequency.

Enroute VHF

On flights, which are operating in areas outside of VHF contact with ATC, theVHF communications radios will normally be set as follows:LEFT VHF 121.5 GuardRIGHT VHF 123.45 or appropriate Air-to-Air commonCurrent frequencies may be found on the Jeppesen charts for the intended areaof operation.

Voice Control . 60

Transponder Settings

Unless otherwise directed by ATC, or in cases of emergency or radio failure,transponder codes will be set as follows:ATLANTIC: Code 2000 (last assigned code will be maintained while indomestic airspace). A rule of thumb is to add 30 minutes tothe ATA of the first waypoint on the NAT Track. This wouldbe the earliest time to change the code to 2000.MIDPAC: Code 2000 after “Cleared to enroute frequency” by ATC.GUAM: Code 2100 when approaching within 250 NM of the airport.

Home > Voice Control > Procedures > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Circuits

Circuits

FS2Crew for the PMDG 737 NGX models Circuits/Touch and Go’s.

To put FS2Crew into circuits mode, select ‘CIRCUIT TRAINING’ for the Approach Type. You would use this mode if you wish to make practice circuits.

Circuits are modeled on the standard Boeing circuits profile.

Notes:

1. Automation is generally not used during circuit training.

2. Circuits are usually flown with the Flaps at 5.

3. On touchdown, the FO will automatically raise the Flaps to 15, and you would perform a Flaps 15 takeoff.

4. VREF must be entered in the FMC.

One way of Doing a Circuit:

Switch off the FD and autothrottles for take off. Use flap 5 for convenience. Aim for climb speed 180 knots and leave flap at 5. At 1000 agl start turn at 30degrees angle of bank - maintaining bank angle until arriving at downwind hdg and hauling back throttles to maintain 180 knots while levelling at 1500 ft agl.

Set Vref for landing flap from previously set V1 and VR.

Up to you whether you set MCP cursor at 180 knots or set Vref+5 now. You are not using autothrottle so the MCP speed is purely a reminder figure rather thanan A/T setting. Ensure A/T is switched off and not just ARM (see FCTM cautionary paragraphs on autothrottle use in ARM mode - Boeing do not recommend it)

Downwind keep eyes on runway and visual tracking. Don't stare at MAP. Abeam landing threshold hit stopwatch, select gear down, flap 15, arm the speedbrake if full stop landing and allow speed to reduce toward 150 knots and call for landing checklist to flaps.

45 seconds after passing end of runway, turn base 25-30 degrees angle of bank and square off the circuit because of slower speed of 150 knots. Avoid flying a5 degree bank angle turn as this is sloppy flying. If an ILS is available ensure the standby ADI ILS is selected because it gives you earlier glide slope indicationthan primary ADI/HSI glide slope. Very useful if the simulator is limited in side view.

Flap as required on base and final. Cross the fence at Vref if no wind and use reverse and manual braking. This gives you the practice at modulating the brakesas a skill rather than always carrying out autobrake use which can lead to loss of braking technique skills.

For touch and go don't arm the speed brake and no reverse. On touch-down open up to 50-60% spool-up N1, select flap 15 at same time set stab trim at 5units. When ready, set take off thrust and rotate at Vref which had already been set. Around 1000 ft agl select flap 5 and aim for 180 knots and repeat the

circuit. Note at no stage was FD, AP or AT used. Miminum talk in the cockpit.

For asymmetric circuit practice simply maintain flap 5 downwind and 180 knots, pull back one throttle to idle early downwind, set flap 15 Vref in ASI and you areon your way again.

Home > Voice Control > Procedures > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Go Around Procedures

Go Around Procedures

To initiate a go around, press the TOGA button and make the following voice commands:

“GOING AROUND”

“FLAPS 15”

Pitch the nose up to approximately 15 degrees.

The FO will call “POSITIVE RATE”.

After the FO has called "Positive Rate" make the following commands:

“GEAR UP”

400 feet above the runway:

“SELECT HEADING SELECT” or “SELECT LNAV”

At acceleration height, call "FLAPS ___" according to the flap retraction schedule.

After flap retraction to the planned flap setting, select LVL CHG. VNAV may be selected if the flaps are up.

Verify that climb thrust is set.

Call for the “AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST” after the aircraft is in a clean configuration.

Continue to the alternate airport or shoot the approach again. If shooting the approach again, cycle the Mode to “LANDING” before calling for Flap Extensions,Landing Gear and commencing the 'Landing Checklist'.

Notes:

1. For the “GO AROUND” call to take effect in the simulation, the FS2Crew Display Mode on the Main Panel must display: 'LANDING'.

Home > Voice Control > Procedures > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Thru Flight Procedures

Thru Flight Procedures

FS2Crew models thru-flight procedures.

You do not need to reload the aircraft to fly additional legs or sectors.

To make a thru flight, simply cycle the Left Display forward using the down arrow button to return to the ‘PreFlight Checklist’.

Do this after completing the ‘Shutdown’ checklist.

Do NOT run the ‘Secure’ aircraft checklist as you would only do this if it was the last flight of the day and you were handing the aircraft over to engineering.

Next, start the ‘PreFlight Events’ by pressing RUN PF on the FS2Crew Config panel if desired, and follow the same procedures used during the 1st leg.

Note that the FO will not perform all the same actions during his pre-flight setup flow as many of the items are only done on the first flight of the day only.

Home > Voice Control > Normal Checklists

Normal Checklists

Checklists are used by flight crew members to ensure that no critical items are accidentally missed during each stage of the flight.

The most typical way checklists are handled are:

Do-and-Read: In this case, the crew members perform a series of sections, and then back-up their actions up with the checklist to ensure nothing wasmissed.

Voice Control . 62

[www.fs2crew.com]


PACK- VOICE

Read-and-Do: The crew member reads the specific checklist item and then manually performs the associated action.

Silent: The crew member performs an associated flow, and then reads the checklist silently to ensure no items are missed. The After Landing and AfterTakeoff Checklists are often read silently.


Notes:

These checklists are for reference purposes.

To see the checklist as it would be used in the context of Speech Control, please see the Voice Commands & Voice Checklist section.

Home > Voice Control > Tips, Tricks & Reminders > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICEThe following are a list of hints to help improve your FS2Crew experience with the PMDG NGX while using Voice Control:

1. Use 'Hard Mute' frequently, especially during long stretches of time when you do not need to make any speech commands, such as during taxi, cruise ordescent. M+ will flash on the FS2Crew Main Panel when Hard Mute is active.

2. For the "Minimums" call during approach, FS2Crew uses the value selected in the Briefing Page, not what's set via the EFIS panel.

3. For the best voice results, speak clearly and distinctly.

4. Generally, you should not need to re-adjust the pre-selected Pushback distance listed on the Configuration Panel. The FSX pushback tug turns theaircraft very slowly, resulting in a very wide turn. So if you select a high number, you will likely be pushed back much too far.

5. The voice command to auto trigger the mode change between "APPROACH" and "LANDING" is "SET". Many people also forget to make this call. Forexample: "2992 Set". Make sure 'SET' is spoken clearly and distinctly.

6. At the arrival gate, you will hear a 'ding' sound and the FA call light on the FS2Crew Main Panel will illuminate briefly. The FA is calling you. Speak "YES"to answer the FA.
