Description
Flight Simulator First Officer Next for Aerosoft CRJ (MSFS) is a virtual copilot coded exclusively for the Aerosoft CRJ. It adds a whole new level of realism by providing a copilot to share cockpit responsibilities. FSFO does not require strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (i.e. scripts), reading lengthy manuals, memorizing actions to trigger other actions, or precise speech. To that end, it can be as complex or simple as you want. Just hit connect and fly with confidence that your First Officer is helping you fly this amazing aircraft.
Features:
- Speech Recognition
- Command the First Office to set the flaps, gear, autopilot, takeoff thrust, and execute the flows and checklists. See the Voice Command section for a full list of commands
- Checklist can be controlled via voice or completely automated
- Ground Crew Operations:

- Automatically trigger the fuel truck, luggage cars and jetway, or request via operations panel
- Flight Deck Announcements
- Welcome Aboard (message depends on weather conditions)
- Flight Attendants “Prepare for Takeoff”
- 10,000 ft chime
- We’ve reached our cruise altitude (message depends on turbulence)
- Descent Announcements (e.g., electronics off and night time landing messages)
- Flight Attendants “Prepare for Landing”
- Welcome to our destination (message depends on weather conditions)
- Integrated Flows and Checklists
- Flows - When activated, the copilot will check each system to ensure its set correctly for a specific flight phase; if it's not set correctly, he will configure said system. Using this system, FSFO will completely configure the aircraft for you, which will spare you the need to read 300+ page manuals.
- Checklist - When called, the copilot will call the checklist item
- If using button mode - if the systems is set correctly, he will proceed to the next item; if it's not, he will wait for the pilot to configure the system before proceeding to the next call.
- If using Voice mode – The Copilot will wait for a verbal response (e.g., checked, set, on, off, etc.…)
- FMS/HUD:
- Copilot will enter your company route to import Simbrief generated flight plans, as well as enter your cruise altitude
- Copilot will enter your deparuture and arrival runway elevation and lenth for HUD accuracy.
- Speed Calls:
- Copilot call Power Set
- Copilot calls Speed Alive
- Copilot calls 80 Knots on takeoff and 100, 80 and 60 Knots on landing
- Copilot calls V1, Rotate, and V2
- Copilot calls “400 ft” and “Acceleration Altitude”
- Vref monitoring (i.e., copilot will advise the captain when the airspeed falls below the imputed value on landing)
- Engine Callouts:
- Copilot calls “Engine x Started”
- Copilot calls “Engine x Cutout
- Copilot calls “All Engines Stable”
- Safety Checks:
- Before Takeoff - Copilot checks the flaps, trims and autobrakes; if they're incorrect, he will warn you
- After Takeoff - Copilot checks the landing gear and flaps; if they're incorrect, he will warn you
- Before Landing - Copilot checks the landing gear, flaps and spoilers; if they're incorrect, he will warn you

- Manages Gear – Copilot can raise/lower the gear at the designated altitudes
- Manages Flaps – Copilot will raise/lower the flaps at the designated speeds
- Manages Altimeters - Copilot can set altimeters based on flight parameters
- Speed Warns - Copilot warns with IAS goes above 250 knots below 10K ft AGL, when Ground Speed is too high (30 mph), or when the IAS falls below VREF during landing
- Manages Lights - Copilot can turn on/off ALL interior and exterior lights at the appropriate altitudes and time of day
- Systems monitoring - Copilot can also callout flap changes, parking brake, landing and spoiler status. For example, if you retract the flaps from 5 to 1, the copilot will call “Flaps 1.” If the landing gear is extended, the Copilot calls “landing gear down”
- Manages Copilot EFIS controls – Copilot will set his controls based on flight parameters (e.g., App Mode when capturing the ILS and terrain map on takeoff/landing)
- Manages FMC – Copilot will set his FMC based on flight parameters (e.g., LEGS page on Takeoff, PROG page in Cruise, sets VREF on descent and aligns IRS during the Preflight Flow)o
- Manages MCP – Copilot will set IAS, HDG, LNAV, VNAV, A/T, HDG SEL and FDs.
- Change Copilot/Pilot accents:
- Choose between English, French and German, Australian, Espanol, etc…
