Installing "Emergency NGX!":
- FS2Crew: PMDG 737 NGX (Special Bundle Pack or Captain's Set) must be installed PRIOR to installing Emergency NGX!
- Install the program via the FS2Crew Emergency NGX! installer exe (If you are not in an Admin account: 'Right Click' on the .exe and select "Run as Administrator")
- Open the FS2Crew NGX Config Manager and select Voice Control
- You DO NOT need to cycle the panel.cfg's or anything else. The panel.cfg files remain unchanged
How to Tell if Emergency NGX! is installed:
* When you open the FS2Crew Main Panel an "E" will be visible beside the Version Number
* EMERGENCY NGX! FUNCTIONALITY IS AVAILABLE
* EMERGENCY NGX! FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT AVAILABLE
Running the Failures:
IMPORTANT:
1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN MULTIPLE FAILURES AT THE SAME TIME!
2. Emergency NGX! does not model every possible failure in the NGX. Some failures could not be modeled due to limitations with the current SDK
3. See the Product Overview section for the list of specific failures included in this package
Note 1:
* Press the FAIL button on the FS2Crew Main Panel as shown below to enable/disable FAILURES
(nb: The failures only work with the Australian FO Accent)
* When failures are selected ON, the CREW REGION setting on the FS2Crew Config Panel will automatically default to AU
Note 2:
* ABORTED ENGINE STARTS and APU related failures can be initiated whilst parked at the gate or prior to Taxi Mode
* All other failures will only be active during the Taxi, Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, and Landing phases of the flight.
(ie: the DISPLAYED MODE on the FS2Crew Main panel must be between "BEFORE T/O" and the after landing mode "CLEAN UP")
Note 3:
* Open the PMDG 737 NGX CDU and select your failure (according to the list of failures featured in the "New Non-Normal Procedures List" in the Product Overview section)
* FS2 Crew: Emergency NGX! provides you with complete flexibility so that you may choose to select an "Instant", "Random" or "Service Based" failure
(nb: Provided the failure you choose is available in the Emergency NGX! Failure List - see "New Non-Normal Procedures List" in the Product Overview section)
Important:
* When the FO announces that a non-normal has occurred (eg: a Window Overheat condition), the trigger for his call is the illumination of the associated warning light in the cockpit
* Remember: FS2Crew does NOT read the FMC to determine which failure is active
Note 4:
* While it's not necessary, it's recommended that you print out the PMDG NGX QRH manual or at least have it available
* In most cases, the First Officer will read the checklist and perform all steps and actions as directed by the checklist
* Essentially, the QRH checklists (except for the Memory Items) are "Read-and-Do"
* The Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) PDF Manual is located here:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\Flight Manuals\PMDG-NGX-QRH.pdf
Note 5:
* You can clear most of the Programmed NGX failures via the NGX menu.
(nb: not all failures can be cleared - this is particular to the NGX and not an FS2 Crew issue)
Working with Failures:
Conventions
(terms & icons used throughout this manual & their definitions)
Reminder: In FS2Crew YOU are the Captain/Pilot Flying. The computer is the First Officer/Pilot Monitoring
CAPTAIN/PILOT FLYING (YOU):
1. RED TEXT = means that this is YOUR area of responsibility as the Captain/Pilot Flying
2. CA = CAPTAIN (YOU) definition: CA is assumed prior to taking the runway and once the aircraft vacates the runway after landing
3. PF = PILOT FLYING (YOU) definiton: PF is assumed as soon as the aircraft takes the runway and whilst it is airborne
4. [A] = Action - this icon means that a physical task must be carried out by YOU (the physical task you need to perform will be explained in Black text following the [A] icon)
5. [S] = Speech - this icon means that you must SAY the words featured in Red text following the [S] icon
6. Highlighted text below is an example of what you will experience during a procedure - linear explanations are included in points a to e:
PF [S] THRUST LEVER NUMBER # -> [A] Place your hand on the specific Thrust Lever now
a) PF - means YOU
b) [S] - you must SAY the words, example: Thrust Lever Number
c) # - whenever you see this # you must substitute it for either number 1 or 2 and include it in the speech. eg: Thrust Lever Number 1
d) -> - this icon indicates you have another task to perform
e) [A] - you must Place your hand on the specific Thrust Lever now
nb: All the above conventions apply throughout Emergency NGX! Non-Normal procedures
FIRST OFFICER/PILOT MONITORING (COMPUTER):
1. BLUE TEXT = First Officer/Pilot Monitoring responsibility
2. FO = FIRST OFFICER (COMPUTER) - definition: FO is assumed prior to taking the runway and once the aircraft vacates the runway after landing
3. PM = PILOT MONITORING (COMPUTER) - definition: PM is assumed as soon as the aircraft takes the runway and whilst it is airborne
4. [A] = Action - this means that a particular physical action will be carried out by the FO/PM
5. [S] = Speech - this means that the FO/PM will say the words featured in Blue text following the [S] icon (same procedure as Captain/Pilot Flying)
6. Note: refer to the example in Point 6 (a to e) above - these conventions also apply to the FO/PM
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
1. Reference: PMDG QRH. Section - 8.14
- Refers to the PMDG Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) which contains the actual Non-Normal Checklists used by the FO/PM. In this instance it refers to "Section 8.14 of the QRH"
- We recommend you have a copy (hard or cyber) of the PMDG QRH ready before you proceed with Emergency NGX!
2. APU -> APU SEVERE
- This indicates a specific failure item and it's location in the PMDG NGX Failures Menu/Sub-Menu. This will assist you in accessing & initiating the correct failure relative to the procedure
- Refer to Pg 82 of the PMDG NGX Introduction Manual for more details on accessing the failures Menu
- It is imperative that you choose the correct failure and its corresponding checklist to ensure trouble-free operation of Emergency NGX!
3. Note: Pay special attention to any highlighted text!
4. If you need more time to complete an action, you can:
- Pause the checklist -> use the command PAUSE THE CHECKLIST or
- Resume the checklist -> use the command RESUME THE CHECKLIST
5. If you need to reset Master Caution, use the command: RESET MASTER CAUTION
6. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you leave the FS2Crew GREEN TEXT BAR open at all times as this displays what the speech recognition system 'hears' when running failures. You need to ensure the correct 'trigger phrases' are detected. (Example: Sometimes, 'check' can be heard as 'checked', or 'close' can be heard as 'closed')
7. These Procedures may disagree with your Airline SOP's, your training, what you've viewed on airline video's or in some other medium
8. Generally speaking, the simulation is not geared to handle multiple failures in one flight. Only run one failure per flight
9. You may notice that, in some situations, the FO is slow to put the APU on the bus after the APU has started. The reason for the delay is because many of the FO's actions are based on timing, and at higher altitudes the APU takes longer to start than at lower altitudes.
