Notes for users running home Networks:
Because the speech recognition engine is built into a gauge file that gets loaded via the host aircraft's panel.cfg file on your main FSX computer, the software is not networkable. A microphone or headset needs to be connected to your FSX computer.
Suggested files that will improve the FSX Default 737 aircraft:
Want to improve the FSX Default 737 aircraft itself with a better airfile and improved instruments? Read this thread in the FS2Crew Support for the download links.

It is a very nice program. However its only FSX related. I have contacted the developer Brian several times that I am sure a lot of P3D users will buy the 737 default as soon as it will be released. Bryan York told me it has no priority. I am a Prosim737 user and before I used P3D it worked just fine. I can find no alternative program that works as nice as FS2crew default. So again, please Bryan make it work for P3D too.
I purchased this add-on while it was on sale. And I am glad I did, as it does not work correctly. The First officer is ether “Pants on head Retarded” or drunk.
Let me first say that the Voice recognition software on my computer runs fine, I can speak a whole document. However this add-on could not tell if I was saying “set” or one five zero. I often had to repeat myself several times, once I said Altimeter 20 times before just saying set to move on. And when it did work I found that it would not move on until I often had to tell it to move on to the next stage manually.
I do-not recommend this add-on unless you really want to buy a new PC as you will most likle throw the one you install this on out a window from frustration.
I give it one star, the only thing good was the sounds were of Excelent quality. My advise to FS2Crew. Go back to the old way. It was way more immersive, and a whole lot easier
