 VOLUME: On the volume control page you can adjust your individual background noises and other

audio elements. Keep in mind that the Airbus Cockpit is a noisy environment. In cruise you will

hardly hear the engines and wind noise over the noise the cooling fans that keep the electronics

cool! Changes made are kept for your next flight. If you like your own default settings ask us on the

forums and we’ll be glad to assist. VIEWS

VIEWS

 VIEW SYSTEM: There is a simple yet effective way to switch your views using small icons in the

view bar. You open the view bar by clicking the grey triangle in the upper right (or left) corner. If

you do not like this, or you are using another viewing add-on you can disable the whole viewing

system here.

 PANEL BAR: Toggles the viewing selection of panel views.

 WINGVIEW BAR: Toggles the viewing selection of wing views.

 VIEW MODE: Here you can select if the panel views should be seen from a realistic angle or a

straight on, not very realistic, viewpoint.

 POSITION: Toggles between a horizontal or vertical layout.

 SOUND: There is a small sound effect added to any view changes, you can disable it here.

CHECKLIST

 COPILOT: n combination with the CHECKLIST function the “Copilot” works timely aligned with the

checklist i.e. performs his duties when the task should be done according to the checklist

beginners we strongly advise this option activated.

 HOTKEYS: Many of the interactions with the checklists can be done with key command if you so

desire.

build in push back.

speeds on approach activate this option.
