I'm on the road until 3 Feb but will get this corrected and upload a fix before 8 Feb. Thank you! I've added a lot more to the 737, to include MCP, Wipers, Cockpit Lights and Flaps management. I'm finishing up the 777 now but will fix the 737 before pushing out the Capt Sim 757 version.

Hi, Matthew!
Are you planning to add voice commands (via voice recognition like fs2crew ) "gear up/down", "flaps up/1/5/15 etc", "engage vnav/lnav/hdg etc" and others to make it feel more real, and not to be based just only on numbers of altitude and speed? I think it will be very useful and realistic)

I’m also working on writing my own sound player so you adjust the volume. Should be done before Christmas.

Already have 737 version, planning to buy captain sim 757 and will be waiting for this new feature for all versions! And I think it will be more easy to use if it works as insim window, so you can hide it and recall with assigned key when necessary

Hi, Matthew!
PMDG released their new 737 NGXu, I've tested it today with FSFO v1.5 and there are many things that work normal, but some are not. Are you planning to update FSFO? I think most of pmdg SDK is the same and it shouldn't be a difficult job)

Currently, I’m working on a completely new FSFO that will include PMDGs 737, 737u, 777 and all default Boeing’s; 747 will be added later. I decided to re-code a completely new program to use the latest .NetFrameWork to improve the voice recognition and sound playback. It’s also becoming difficult to manage so many separate programs. I’d rather just give people one virtual copilot and constantly improve if. In short, the 737u will be available b4 Xmas.

Will it be a free upgrade for customers of the current version (thinking about buying to use with the ngx and ngxu (already have both)?

IT will be substantially discounted for 737 and/or 777 users.

Hi, Matthew!
I have just bought your FSFO for PMDG737. I like the product. Noticed some issues with voice commands: - "command A or B" phrase doesn't work, so I cannot engage an autopilot, - "Autopilot off" phrase doesn't work, so I cannot disengage an autopilot, - "set approach mode" phrase doesn't work, so I cannot activate APP mode using voice, - "set takeoff power" phrase doesn't work, even if I have power set at 50%. Would really appreciate you help . Thank you

Would really appreciate you help . Thank you I will look at this tomorrow and get back with you. I hesitated about adding the voice rec feature because FSFO is based on an older .net framework so it would work with older operating systems. I’m currently working on a completely new product that was coded from the ground up. Voice rec and sound will be greatly improved.

Matthew,
Just a few suggestions on how to improve. To use phrases: - " Autopilot on", "Autopilot off" (there is no real need to use "A" or "B". FO can engage just one (captain's side, lets say) - "set TOGA" - as a variant ("set Take off power" instead)
And a few more things. I have noticed that the command "LNAV" doesn't work , but "lateral navigation" works. Commands "VNAV" and "vertical navigation" both work normally. Command "gear up" doesn't work, but "gear down" works normally. Command "flaps up" doesn't work, but "flaps 30..25..15..10.. 5..1" works normally as well. Thank you

Matthew, and what is the meaning of "Crimson" in "User Configuration" menu. What is it for? There is no explanation in your manual. Thanks

Thanks Hey bud, Those colored items colored via crimson font are disabled when voice is enabled. I’ll check those commands you mentioned to ensure nothing changed during the latest build. All those commands were tested and work previously; as always, speech recognition quality is based on the quality on you mic and computer speed. Nevertheless, I’ll check to ensure no mistakes were made. I like you suggestions and will update them next week.
