Flight Management System Options:
F/O Callouts during Take-off and Approach:
There are a number of aural
callouts made by the first officer to assist you during the take-off and
approach phases of flight. You can activate these callouts from this
menu, or conversely, you can de-select them in order to facilitate the use
of products such as FS2Crew for the PMDG MD-11.
Pause at Top of Descent:
Selecting this option will instruct the simulation
to pause when the aircraft is about to reach the Top of Descent point on
an FMC flight plan. This option allows users to leave the airplane
unattended without having to worry about missing their descent point and
approach at the end of the flight.
Synchronize CAPT and F/O baro settings:
The PMDG MD-11 provides an
incredible level of realism in that two separate and fully functioning
autopilot control units have been implemented. Each autopilot is provided
with data from its own air data sources, including the pilots’ barometric
settings. Every time you press the AUTOFLIGHT button, the autopilot
controller will select a different autopilot than was in use the last time the
switch was pressed.
As such, it is highly important that the captain and first officer barometric
settings are continually set correctly, or the airplane may rapidly deviate
from assigned altitude.
To simplify your flying, we have provided the ability to automatically
synchronize the captain and first officer baro settings because it is
sometimes not convenient to remember that the barometric setting for the
“other pilot” must also be set accurately. This matching function happens
naturally in the airplane, but for the purpose of the simulation, we felt some
help was necessary to support single pilot operation of the airplane.
IRS Options Menu: The Inertial Reference System on the MD-11 takes
approximately 10 minutes (depending on latitude) to align itself for proper
navigation. Understanding that not all users are interested in waiting such
