Modeled closely after standard Boeing factory procedures.
Complete pre-flight flows, configure MCP, state checklist items. Order engine start sequence ( "Start Engine 2" ).
Once you load into a cold and dark cockpit, you configure your flight deck and hand over the initial setup. While you calculate your weights and program the FMC, your FO will manage the exterior walk-around and set the preliminary panel states. When you are ready, you command the FO to start boarding, initiate the pushback clearance, and call for the engine start sequence. Taxi and Takeoff
Ultimately, the FS2Crew PMDG 737 NGX Reboot edition is designed to reduce pilot workload while simultaneously increasing the complexity and immersion of the flight. By delegating tasks to a virtual partner, flight simmers can focus on the art of flying and navigation, experiencing the Boeing 737 not just as a machine, but as a workplace shared by a professional team.
Accurately reads commands even with varied accents. -P3D FSX- FS2Crew - PMDG 737 NGX Reboot EDITION...
The flight simulation world changed forever when PMDG released their legendary 737 NGX for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D (P3D). It brought unprecedented systemic depth to the desktop pilot. However, flying a complex commercial airliner like the Boeing 737 is never a solo job. In the real world, it requires a tightly coordinated two-person crew.
While you taxi the aircraft to the active runway, the FO handles the radio (simulated or via online networks like VATSIM/IVAO) and executes the Before Takeoff Checklist. On the runway, you advance the throttles and call "Takeoff" or "TOGA" . The FO monitors the airspeed, calls out "80 knots" , "V1" , "Rotate" , and "V2" . Climb, Cruise, and Descent
Heavily inspired by European low-cost carriers (such as Ryanair), focusing on rapid turns and specific European phraseology.
As you descend into your destination, the FO manages the MCP (Mode Control Panel) altimeter settings, performs the Approach Checklist , and configures the aircraft for landing based on your speed schedule commands. Modeled closely after standard Boeing factory procedures
Modeled after a prominent European low-cost carrier (widely known to be based on Ryanair procedures). This SOP features highly streamlined, rapid-turnaround workflows with specific triggers for the automated checklists.
Emphasizes the use of the "Continuity Loop" during checklists. SOP 3: The Strict Corporate Standard
The "Reboot Edition" is a complete ground-up rewrite of the original FS2Crew software for the PMDG 737. It introduces entirely new procedural flows, standard operating procedures (SOPs), high-quality voice sets, and a layer of immersion that transforms how you operate the Boeing 737. Key Features of the Reboot Edition 1. Multiple Real-World SOP Variations
The Reboot Edition’s standout feature is the inclusion of , each designed and tested by an active, real-world 737 pilot to mirror genuine airline operations. SOP 1: Follows general "stock" Boeing procedures. Once you load into a cold and dark
Because the PMDG 737 NGX is such a complex simulation, getting FS2Crew to run properly requires following a specific setup routine.
versions, allowing users to choose between speaking commands to their virtual first officer or using joystick/keyboard assignments. Interaction Variety
The PMDG 737 NGX and FS2Crew Reboot bundle run beautifully across both generation platforms, though there are architectural differences to keep in mind: Feature/Metric Flight Simulator X (FSX / FSX:SE) Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (P3D v3 / v4 / v5) 32-bit (Limited to 4GB VAS memory) 64-bit (v4+ eliminates Out-Of-Memory errors) Audio Processing Relies heavily on external sound devices Native DirectX audio optimization Performance Impact Minimal footprint, but requires careful VAS management Negligible impact; highly optimized for multi-core CPUs Stability Moderate (prone to crashes if memory is overloaded) Rock-solid stability during long-haul flights
With "Emergency NGX!", you can practice engine failures, system faults, and emergency landings (QRH procedures) with the crew responding appropriately.
