About flight deck announcements
In addition to the 12 user files that will be played automatically based on
timed triggers during your flight, FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 also supports
up to 99 Flight deck announcements that can be played randomly
during your flight. These files – your own recordings or selections –
could perhaps be the Captain’s in-flight chat to his passengers, explana-
tions for unusual events, etc. The flight deck announcements are stored
in strict numerical order, and when you hit the appropriate hotkey, the
next message is played. You can, if you wish, skip the next message in
the queue. When the last available file has been played, FDC Live Cockpit!
2011 loops back to the beginning of the list, and starts over again.
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 also features direct shortcut keys for the 26
first Flight deck announcements in your set. You can play the first
announcement by hitting Ctrl-\-A, the second by hitting Ctrl-\-B, the
third by hitting Ctrl-\-C, and so on. The 26th announcement is played
by hitting Ctrl-\-Z.
Note! You can play flight deck announcements at any time in your
flight, even before the first cabin announcement has been made.
Short, medium, and long hauls
The flight deck announcements might differ between various types
of flight. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 allows you to record three different
sets of messages; you can select between these on the User Files
panel in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011. You can record files into Short
Haul, Medium Haul, and Long Haul sets.
