FS2CREW: LEONARDO MADDOGX REBOOT

Dear Bryan, some parts of the checklists are being handled silently by the FO. In some airlines the FO is always reading out the checklist loudly and gives the corresponding callouts by himself. Any chance to implement this also to the Maddog? Best regards, Daniel

Greetings Byran, Forgive me if this is redundant but would you consider embellishing the Maddog crew with the crew briefings, PA and cabin crew announcement s panels like those in the NGXu? Could you not just port those dialogues from the NGXu over to the Maddog circumventing any need to create new ones or hire more voice actors since I don't see the difference in those dialogues between the two aircrafts. Thanks as always for the great work.

Installed FS2crew, I did not get a configurator shortcut to activate the product.

Hi im using p3dv5 hotfix1 with v5 maddog and fs2crew of course my question is how can i disable fs2crew cabin crew ?? ( i know i can lower the volume via PA audio panel but that also disables maddog own cabin crew sounds i want to use the maddog sounds its this possible?

Hello, Ever since installing FS2Crew for the Maddog in V5, the sim hangs on exit (only with the Maddog) and I have to kill it in task manager. It wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that the Maddog saves the panel state/hours/cycles/failures upon exit so it never gets updated now. Appreciate someone looking at this. Thanks, Ben

Hello all, I've got used to the MaddogX cabin crew announcements and the ding for cabin ready, after having used the PA button and integrated menu, but now there is an FS2Crew man who keeps asking me what I want when I do that. Is there an option to silence the FS2Crew cabin crew or are they integrated into the MD's pop-up menu when triggered? I see the "cabin crew seats for take-off" is a required call, but how does that link up with what Leonardo has done? Bear in mind this was my first flight with FS2Crew, so I'm just trying to get to grips with the integration so I don't do things twice and ruin the immersion with stray announcements.

Hello all, I noticed an oddity in the version 1.4 manual checklist: although I set 2 degrees for take-off on the dial-a-flap selector, the correct response to "Flap Takeoff Selector" in the Pre-Start Check is "stowed". I replied stowed although it wasn't, so the checklist would continue, but is the expectation that it is stowed for start and then set afterwards? The MaddogX checklists I have all say xx degrees SET or STOWED. Could the possible responses not be whatever dial-a-flap has been entered or stowed instead? Thanks!

Bryon my man. Can we expect an update soon?

Good morning! Since last update of the Maddog I can't turn down the volume of the PA and the annunciations of the Flight Attendants are always hear. I re installed and didn't solve it, just wondering if its a bug or my fault. Thank you very much! Have a good day. Alejandro Martínez

Not sure what is going on here, but FS2Crew seems to think I am about to land when in reality I just took off from the airport. Any idea what may be causing this?

I have an odd problem, my F/O will run all of the checklists etc and will "talk" to me but he wont actually interact with any buttons of controls. I read the FAQ and haven't found a solution...very odd.

I've been trying to figure out what is causing this - at times during checklists, the key I have assigned to reply to the FO checklist will send a double keystroke. At first I thought this was a keyboard issue, but it doesn't appear to be as I've changed the key assignment and it still happens. Any suggestions?

Hello, after Installing FS2Crew I get a Crash2Desktop with the following Error Message: XACT Audio Init Failed: 0x8889000a In my Case I use a complex Sound Setup combined with VoiceMeeter ( https://www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm ) I need this Setup to mix my audio channels to stream my flights. In my Case the Setup is the following: Do you have an idea what's the reason and how I can resolve this problem? Best greetings from germany Rentasad

Bear with me while I explain where I am. I haven't touched the MD82 in a few months. I just completed a fresh install of P3d V4.5, the newest version of the MD82, and downloaded the newest version (1.8). Everything works as expected up to pushback approved. He replied "approved" and then nothing else happens. If I recall, he should be continuing the checklist to prepare for engine start. I've even completed that portion of the checklist myself and skipped ahead to engine start. I call "start right engine." He replied "starting right engine" but nothing happens. No switches flipped or anything.. I've tried multiple times, updated FS2Crew, etc. With no luck. Any idea…

Hello Bryan. Just wondering wether there will be an FS2Crew Update for the Marcomi FMS & the PMS as these systems are now on beta testing. Best regards, Tom

Hey guys, Are you guys working on an update for the recent bug reporting? Etc. Flap Retraction/Extension. Pushback Approved bug. I have not been using the FS2Crew as a result. I am happy to stream a session to you guys to show the issues in detail? Cheers Lonz

Hi Chaps, Just purchased the Maddog 82/83/88 yesterday for P3D V4 and also FS2Crew Maddog Rebooted. Maddog Version = 1.3 b351 P3D Version 4.4 I have run everything as admin and disabled defender. I have opened the load manager as per Manual to try and activate but it is not giving me an FS2Crew tab when selecting Setup. I have RAAS, FS2Crew 777,747 & NGX Rebooted installed and working perfectly with no issues. Any ideas? Regards Lonz

The FO has been unable to lower or raise the flap handle with the latest 1.8 update. Everything else has been functioning properly. Thanks!

I think I've reported these issues in an earlier thread. 1.8 didn't fix. Still needs fixed: Before taxi: FS2crew calls out to set flaps/slats. FO does not set flaps or slats, I have to do it manually. Not a big deal, but is the FO supposed to? After takeoff: FS2crew calls out to retract flaps. FO does not retract flaps. I have to manually FS2crew calls out to retrace slats. FO does not retract slats. The next to-do is 'climb check'. If I retract the slats manually before climb check, the FO will deploy slats when 'climb check' is initiated by fs2crew. If I don't retract slats manually, and 'climb check' is initiated, slats are lef…

I'm running P3D V4.5 with the last hotfix. I am NOT running the public beta MD82. I have 1.4b414 installed and no expansion at the moment. I am consistently getting a CTD and it's always within seconds of the FO checking the gear on the preflight. Since it's showing in Event Viewer as an ntdll.dll problem, I'm cautiously saying it's something associated with FS2Crew somehow. Given it happens at the exact same time every time, I'm guessing it must be related. Here's what Event Viewer has to say in case it's of any help: Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 4.5.12.30293, time stamp: 0x5cd47aad Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.17…

byork, Question/request, would it be possible to either have the FO set the taxi/landing lights on or off via a voice command, or as a runway entry procedure? I would like to limit the number of items where I have to use my mouse, and I can't find a way with the MaddogX to program a button. If not possible I understand, I know you have a lot on your plate. Thanks for a great product. Larry Gabriel

Hi Bryan - I continue to have issues with version 1.5. The FO is not consistent in performing his duties for some reason. He will get through the pre-flight on most occasions but then things go wrong. I just did 2 flights over the past day and on the first one he stopped performing any duties on Taxi check. The second flight he stopped on the 'Before start check'. After I confirmed 'approved' on the startup and pushback clearance he does not do any tasks. Cycling through the sections does not solve the problem. The only thing that fixes it is going back to version 1.3. I am using the latest version of the Maddog but this has been happening ever since FS2C version 1.…

I got the FO sound 1 time and now nothing. I hear him pushing buttons and FA announcements. Device is setup and tested correctly. Any ideas???

Hi all, My first post on the forum. I am having some problem with the initial climb using FS2Crew button control and Maddog X 64b (1.3 b317) in P3D V4.3. I am most probably doing something wrong but here's my problem: I cant ask (press) for the VNAV engagement until after flap/slats retraction and climb CL have been performed, This seems to make acceleration impossible since the FD continues to demand a V2+10 pitch. Could it just be that the FD bars shouldn't be followed during climb? Any inputs or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Best regards Oskar

Byork, Love the new features after the 1.8 update, great work, but I have one small issue, the altimeter is not being set to standard when ascending thru the transition altitude. Is this a change in FS2Crew or a Maddog problem. I’m using the “transition set to standard” as always but I have to set it by hand. Not a big issue was just wondering if something has been changed. Thanks again for a great product. lgabriel
