Performance and Thoughts Up to this point I have put in 15 hours reviewing Reboot, and I had very few problems or issues. Take a look for yourself - you can print them out or follow them along on your tablet to smooth out your sim experience. Great job, FS2Crew! In addition to these FS2Crew-provided documents, you will find a lot of very useful information and resources at the An example of one very useful resource (combined by a non-FS2Crew member of the community) would be a condensed version of all flows and procedures necessary for all three SOPs. Tutorials are about 30-35 pages long and it is clear that no shortcuts were taken, or corners cut, in getting them done for us. Throughout all of the tutorials you will come across various callouts to your attention to highlight important steps, or explain why something may not be proceeding as you would have expected it to. Cabin Announcements are also there - the 'Welcome aboard', 'Move around the cabin', 'Welcome to our destination' and a couple of others. You can enjoy a wide selection of new sounds during your simulation experience - from what appears to be a very loud printer right behind your back (prior to receiving a load-sheet), to a more pronounced cockpit doors being closed, to others throughout the flight.
It also includes cabin crew interactions, which were present in Legacy, but with an updated sound pack. Additional Features and Crew Interactions Reboot is not only about the three Standard Operating Procedures. Rapid and to the point commands, coupled with checklist confirmations, and a mutual understanding between you and your 'FO', during the final approach for example, is an immensely immersive atmosphere, leading up to highly rewarding feeling of job well done after a successful and smooth landing. But there is no comparison in the immersion and operational efficacy, in my opinion, when it comes to using Voice command. The button control is very good – the flow is intuitive it allows you to scroll through options you can fast forward, backtrack, and skip sections. I synched Reboot with my Twitter account to see what it would post on my behalf. Another feature allows you to manage your Audio settings right here, in the cockpit of your flight sim, and to broadcast your adventures to your Facebook or Twitter accounts, if you choose to do so. You can easily distinguish and choose various options in the similar group - be it the departure briefing, the descent briefing, or be it the management of Reboot's interactions with the sim (who controls jetways and doors - you or FS2Crew? which callouts get announced?, and a number of others). Configuration options are logically grouped into sets. UI implementation in Reboot is a complete departure from that philosophy, and a very welcome one. I am not particularly keen on the implementation of options-management in the PMDG 777 FS2Crew add-on. User Interface Reboot comes in with a multitude of options and configurations, and with a user-friendly and common sense user interface (henceforth, UI) to let you manage these various options. There are some flow and callout differences between the two modes.
In addition, SOP 3 allows flows and procedures to be executed in two different modes - a 'transit' mode, meaning when this is not the first flight of the day, and a 'non-transit' mode which, conversely, means you are at the first flight of your day. This variability is a huge plus, with an added bonus of teaching the flows and detailed procedures in SOP 3.
The time I have to spend on the simulator, the airline I am flying, and others.
In the end, with an excellent 35 page tutorial and a few short flights, you will get a hang of it and enjoy the rewarding feeling of accomplishment having mastered the complicated flows and procedures necessary in the modern day airliner! As an avid simmer I can see myself using all three procedures, based on the circumstances around each one flight - i.e. Likewise, if have been flying with the Legacy NGX FS2Crew FO doing a lot of prep flow and procedure work for you, then there might be a bit of a learning curve to get through this SOP.
