2011, the engineer is present if you select the Boeing 747-200
Jumbo Jet. The engineer will also be available in any performance file
you add having three crew members.
As for the other cockpit crew members, you can select which calls
the engineer should make, or „switch him off“ altogether.
The Virtual Co-Pilot mode
In a real aircraft, the co-pilot will respond to flap and gear calls
during the flight. The Virtual Co-Pilot mode in FDC Live Cockpit!
2011 allows you to enable the co-pilot to respond to these calls by
setting flaps and gear automatically according to the pilot’s calls.
To enable the Virtual Co-Pilot mode:
•IntheFDCLiveCockpit!2011mainwindow,clickOptions.

While the Virtual Co-Pilot mode is active your co-pilot will automatically
extend and retract flaps and lower and retract the landing gear
according to the captain’s calls. If you would rather take care of these
operations yourself, simply disable the Virtual Co-Pilot mode by
deselecting the Virtual Co-Pilot Mode checkbox.
Checklist modes

automatically based on various criteria. The checklists available in
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 can be synchronized with these flight
phases, or they can be advanced manually. The various modes are
discussed in detail below.
