Just wanted to know if fs2crew works with the Q400 training edition without problems !?
I would like to switch from the 'Pro' to the 'Training' edition...
Does anyone have experience with it ?

I want to open the PA Panel but it won't. I turn the Selector Knob to PA und push the PA Button but it won't open. On the FS2Crew Panel i have a red FAIL but my DVD Version is 1.016

p3d crashes to desktop.

I purchased FS2Crew a few months ago, getting a lot of good use out of it for sure. Overall I'm quite happy and think it's well-done for what it is.

However one thing that I've noticed is that my FO can be quite a character when it comes to turning in headings or altitudes. Thankfully you took the precaution for this with the "Cancel Last Command" line but to be quite honest, the guy messes those actions up much, much more than he gets it right in my cockpit. I have basically decided to make it SOP that the FO is not allowed to touch the AP panel, because I'm seriously talking way over half the attempts he runs away. I can live with this, as it's not uncommon anyway to have the PF in sole control of the AP when it's engaged, but I felt this might be a really extreme case that could be mended somehow? No offense, but with how bad it works at least on my end, I don't even see the point in having that functionality at all. Am I the only one whose FO's mind kinda switches to idle when he starts turning a knob?

Again, it's not dramatic to me personally, just wondering.

The other thing I was wondering is if there isn't a way to allow for some more customization to the tune of maybe switching checklist items around? I'm only guessing here as I have no clue but to me it seems the program is just running down a list of things and waiting for a corresponding input after certain items, or generating a certain output in the form of a setting changing in the cockpit after certain items - couldn't it be possible to give the user access to the order of these items? There's a couple of little things... I know you based these pretty much verbatim on real-life checklists of a now-defunct airline, but seeing as how different operators do things differently, this chance at adjusting some procedures a little would really put this thing over the top to make it "my" aircraft and "my" crew.

Likewise any sort of opportunity at all to add my own phrases to the voice recognition would be amazing. That way a user could make little tweaks they might find useful, like not having to say "set THE logo light TO on please" but getting away with "set logo light on", like it is for the other lights... or even more meaningless stuff like "Absolutely!" when the RA asks for boarding - not that useful but again, would really add to the immersion in making it "my" thing.

Either way, thank you for your work and effort on the product. I wouldn't wanna miss my FO as he is.

I've logged over 65 flights with the Dash 8 and FS2crew and have never experienced this before!

Whilst boarding the flight attendant constantly keeps repeating "HELLO!" then during taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, landing etc.  It is incredibly annoying and really really strange.   Sometimes it's spaced apart, other times it could be 3 times in a row.

Also once we start the climb, the first officer constantly keeps repeating "One to go" over and over again, doesn't matter if we are at level altitude or climbing, descending etc. 

It's actually starting to drive me nuts 🤣 between the first officer and the flight attendant I would rather find a parachute and jump haha.

Can't seem to find anything on this already, any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using the button version 64 bit as always.   Many thanks, Matthew.

Here's a video: 

Just a FYI post. Majestic Software just released an update to make their Q400 compatible with Prepar3D v5!
Not putting any pressure on the team, but eager to see fs2crew updated 😄

Thanks

Hopefully we can figure out what EZDOK has done.

Cheers,

If that should happen, could you get rid of the annoying background sound or make it much quieter or even better, configurable ? It really gets repetitive during 20 min preflight and I always get the impression I have a hyperactive child sitting beside me, permanently busy with crinkling paper. Fortunately this is not present in the newer FSCrew products.

I have an extremely weird problem with the Dash-8 Voice control Version 3.3.  This afternoon I did a normal flight with FS2Crew, everything went fine and all was normal. But in the middle of the flight I had to quickly stop unexpectedly, so I shutdown the PC in the middle of the flight.

Now in the evening I tried to repeat the flight. But I don't hear the Copilot voice anymore. Audio test fails as well, no sound. I noticed when I click the CFG button, it comes up with "HS:No such device" and I have to actively set it to the correct one. That was not the case before. All other sounds are working, so I hear the typical copilot background noise and I also hear click sounds in the FS2Crew control panel. Voice detection is normal as well, I see in the green bar it gets detected correctly, and I see the copilot doing his job, e.g. the originating flow. 

I quickly checked all my other FSCrew products (e.g. 747, NGXu, Maddog, FSL), all are working normally.

I reinstalled the Dash8 V3.3, did not help. Do you have any idea what might have got screwed up ?

How would I go about resizing the panel, to about twice its present vertical dimension?

because updating and paying again about €35 makes it a very expensive program for me

I'm sure it's for a very stupid reason, but sometimes on approaches I can't get the Before Landing Checklist command to activate. I haven't figured out what I do differently that makes it sometimes work and others not.

I ask for flaps 5, when established I call for gear down, wait for the gear to lock and then give the command Flaps 15, before landing checklist. the FO acknowledges the flaps 15 command and activates it but then he says "landing gear",like if he was reminding me that the landing gear is not set yet so he can't do the checklist, even though it's down, locked and 3 greens.

What am I doing wrong? I don't remember ever having to confirm landing gear down or anything before asking for the checklist.

thank you.

I have a monitor with speakers and a headset.

Both are configured and test correctly in Win10

The headset mic is configured and tests correctly in win10

Both the headset and mic work correctly when selected using VoxATC

FS2Crew main panel shows correctly that I have the monitor and headset sound devices

Under no combination of selected sound device (with or without HS on) do I get anything FROM FS2Crew

With DSP set to ON, the green bar shows that it is receiving my voice commands correctly.

EDIT: should add here that when I try to select a specific checklist, although that command is reflected in the green bar correctly, the FS2Crew panel DOESNT go to that checklist

I have tried to look at all the troubleshooting options and nothing worked

I have uninstalled my Realtek audio drivers ( as that was suggested and worked in another thread) with no joy...

At SOME point, it worked for a while and I got audio test sounds, but only ever out of the default monitor speakers, regardless of settings in FS2Crew...

Is there anything that I should do that I've missed please?
