PMDG and FS2Crew

[sgreen91]

I was wondering if anybody has been able to run IF, PMDG NGX, and FS2Crew Voice Control. I get an SDK error from FS2Crew when trying to start up after IF finishes loading.

Just bought the program this weekend and still trying to figure out what I can do with it.

Thanks,

Sean

Lots of folk are running the PMDG's with IF, but I've had no feedback so far about FS2Crew.

So when the [Ideal Flight] message comes up, do you get the FS2crew error then?

All IF does is "Open with..." FSX the .FLT file - what SDK error do you get?

Perhaps FS2Crew does not like starting paused? You can check Pause in C&D so the sim starts then pauses.

what I can do with it.

Yeah does a lot of stuff

After you made your settings for a plane, with one click you get a complete flight & accurate fuel and ETA remember to program range - fuel calculation with one item to worry about use the fuel report in-sim. The routes are endless, and use airways. You get to fly to places you never did before. The thermals&ridge apply to any weather engine - try a glider in the mountain ridges. Apply whatever C&D setup you want, no mucking around weather, assessment, where you landed, which gears touched down, get a report of which airports are included with what ORBX, and your aircraft collection in html - you'll be months finding stuff to do.

...let me know what fs2crew setup you are running and i'll load it up here...

I start FSX with IF like normal. The NGX loads up properly with IF. I then click the standby indicator to start fs2crew and its dialougue will say ask error. I use the ngx voice edition. I need to try button version and also try to start sim unparsed.

Yes that's the only one they make for the ngx. This one has the extra ground school which I don't have because I use AOA training. This one comes with voice and keyboard version. I use a usb headset with it for me voice commands.

cool, downloading now

(at first glance i thought there were two versions for the NGX)

Unfortunately I could provoke no issues with IF, FS2Crew and the PMDG737.

I used the IF:Main Menu - Save Settings menu item to ensure the 2D panel comes up.

I built and started various flights from KLAX.

I'm flying with Ideal Flight, FS2Crew, PMDG 737-800 NGX, Radar Contact, and Electronic Flight Bag. Everything works with no problems. Can't really see myself flying without FS2Crew anymore. I'm getting around 28fps to 35fps with traffic around 47%. I'm running on windows 7, 64 bit.
