FDC provides a highly configurable Joystick/Yoke controller key assignments expander utility (ControllerX). Unlike the built in Flight Simulator controller assignments, this FDC feature allows you to program the buttons on your controller for different phases of the flight (E.g. Parked, taxi, takeoff, cruise, approach, landing, etc.), and these are switched automatically. So, if you're limited on the number of buttons available on your controller, this utility expands it's capability a great deal. You may want your controller buttons assigned to one set of keystrokes whilst taxing and something quite different when ready for takeoff. ControllerX allows you to do just that.

The FDC Flight Log captures your total flying time for each flight. You choose at which point of the flight you wish to start and end the clock and FDC takes care of the rest - very useful for the VA pilots amongst you or just to check how many hours you do actually spend in your virtual world (perhaps it would not be wise to show this to your partner!)

The FDC Blackbox Log is yet another unique feature of this outstanding program and provides a wealth of flight information for those that want to know exactly how fast their last landing was… did they have the correct pitch on touchdown… what was their rate of descent during finals… when did the Captain call for 'gear up' during takeoff and when did the copilot actually carry out the captain's instruction, etc, etc. Primarily designed for bug-tracking purposes during development, the Blackbox Log records just about everything you do during each flight and is easily displayed from within the program.

FDC ATC Chatter functionality is provided, allowing you to install your own ATC Chatter files which FDC will play at predetermined times during your flight. These files can be grouped geographically and also into controller sections (ground, tower, departure, approach, enroute, etc.). These controller folders can also be subdivided into specific COM frequency folders if you wish. FDC detects any COM frequency change and checks for folders within the correct controller section of the same name, making this a very flexible and powerful feature indeed. (please note: This feature does not detect your geographical position and this has to be set for each flight. i.e. You select the geographical area of departure and arrival plus various areas you will pass through en route.)

FDC Airport ambience sounds are also provided (recorded specifically for FDC). These are configurable dependent on the size of the departure and destination airports (e.g. Small, medium orlarge). So if you prefer to fly to/from the smaller type airports you may not wish to hear the sounds of large jet airlines taking off, landing and taxiing. Using these options allow you to configure FDC to your exact liking.

Hallo Nils,

danke fuer Deine Ausfuehrungen. Ich verwende das S-Combo
schon einige Zeit, das FDC werde ich mir auch holen.
Hoffentlich kann das Programm auch die bis zu 6 Ausgangs-
kanaele der aktuellen Soundkarten verwalten. Ist irgendwie
unrealistisch, wenn alles aus 2 "Loechern" herauskommt...
Ich habe das Thema mal mit Dave March diskutiert, vielleicht
hat er's einbauen koennen.
Dann sind wir mal gespannt, Mitte Maerz soll's erhaeltlich
sein. Gibt's hier in Deutschland auch eine Bezugsquelle ??

Gruss an alle Simmer,

Cat
