Using FDC Live Cockpit!
2011
Using FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 is actually quite simple; the challenge
lies in mastering the added level of realism in your flight simulator!
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 allows you to customize a large amount of
parameters based on your favourite aircraft. The most important
parameters are those gathered in the Performance file for your
aircraft. There are, however, many other parameters that might differ
between various aircraft. If you are flying a GA type aircraft, such as
one of Flight Simulator’s Cessnas, it would probably seem a little out
of order to have cabin announcements played at various stages
during your flight. If, on the other hand, you later switch to a large
airliner, the cabin announcements add a touch of realism and feeling
to your flight. To allow you to quickly recall your own settings for
various aircraft and flight types, FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 features a
powerful Profile feature. We strongly recommend you to study how
to use profiles, as we know this will save you a lot of work when you
are performing your flights in Flight Simulator!

easy navigation between them, a QuickMenu is at your disposal. To

to save them before the selected panel is activated.
