Calling out for a heading change, a speed change, and autopilot engagement, all while being able to keep tabs on the aircraft and radios is an invaluable asset in creating a sense of immersion beyond what I have been able to experience in-sim thus far. This is where I think FS2Crew begins to shine, as you can now bark commands at your First Officer while performing various duties of your own. Simmers are often quite limited with regard to their multi-tasking capabilities as we only have one “hand” in the virtual cockpit, being our mouse cursor. Throw in VATSIM and the inherent need to handle the radios, and it all became a bit much. Prior to acquiring the product for review, I had spent multiple hours operating the A320 as a single pilot aircraft, performing the duties of both the Pilot-Flying, and the Pilot-not-Flying. It is important to once again stress on reading the supplied documentation, as without it, the installation process may seem moderately confusing. While the installation process may initially seem lengthy, I was able to get all of it completed and done in less than 15 minutes, including training the computer to recognize my voice. This was no problem whatsoever, as FS2Crew have very helpfully included extremely comprehensive documentation covering the entire installation process.

Beyond that, a complete and proper install will also require certain options selected in Aerosoft’s Airbus X Configurator. Owing to the “voice commander” aspect of this product, customers will be required to “train” their computers to recognize their accents, by using Windows’ default speech recognition software. It’s very important to note that this product is not one where a simple execution of the installer will enable immediate use of the software.
