Note! Functionality in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 that is dependent
on the data entered in the Performance file, will be disabled
when you use the Not Listed aircraft. This mainly concerns flap
calls during takeoff and approach.
The cockpit crew
In a modern airliner, the cockpit crew usually consists of two
members; the captain and the co-pilot, also referred to as the first
officer. While in flight, the crew members have their separate tasks,
and the communication between them is an essential part of flying
an airliner of this size. While Flight Simulator is fairly accurate on
flight dynamics and visual details, this aspect of the cockpit realism is
overlooked. This is where FDC Live Cockpit! 2011`s flightdeck
functionality adds an extra dimension to Flight Simulator! To give you
variation while flying, you can select different voice sets for the
various crew members, should you fall out with one of them...

The captain
In a real aircraft, the captain has the final word on all decisions being
made on the flightdeck. Usually the captain will check each item on
the checklist as the co-pilot reads them from the checklist.
In FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 you can disable (or enable) groups of calls
made by the captain, or you can „switch him off“ altogether. In
addition, you define the altitude at which the captain makes the Climb
thrust call.
