Flight Simulator First Officer 737 Edition is a virtual copilot specifically coded to work with PMDG's legendary 737; in short, it adds a touch of realism while providing a copilot to share cockpit responsibilities.  FSFO 737 does not require strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (i.e. scripts), reading lengthy manuals or precise speech.  To that end, it can be as complex or simple as you want; for example, FSFO can complete the entire Pre Flight procedure, or only those functions you chose not to accomplish.  Regardless, he will check every switch to ensure it's placed in the correct position.  Just hit connect and fly with confidence that your First Officer is helping you fly this complicated aircraft.
