RealTurb Pilot Monitoring for FlyByWire A32NX, as it stands by the name, is an application that simulates
the pilot monitoring (PM), during the flight, using voice commands through voice recognition, for FlyByWire A32NX.
The two main objectives this add-on aims to deliver, are realism and simplicity!
Things like text commands, in sim windows and panels, having to interact with the application constantly
during flight, complex application settings to configure, are a few examples that compromise the main
objectives and are avoided!
The application is subdivided to:
User Interface (UI)
A simple yet powerful UI that allows:
- Quick configuration of the application (settings stored in an ini file to be retained in subsequent
application runs)
- Available commands dropdown list for quick access (Printer friendly version included in the manual)
- Application's simulator and aircraft connection status
- Detected commands and values monitoring (available also without the simulator running for most
commands)
Voice commands through voice recognition
Request from PM to:
- Perform actions (eg. Flaps, gear, buttons, knobs, switches, select autopilot values and modes etc.)
- Perform flight phase related tasks (eg. Set baro reference to standard, select go around flaps etc.)
- Read the checklists
Having it's own intelligence, it will challenge the request if it's not relevant, appropriate or within limits
and also for checklist cases, it will ask for a confirmation if replied values or switch positions etc,
are in disagreement to the actual value/position.
Flight phase related flows
PM will perform the flows relating to each flight phase after the appropriate triggering condition.
(eg. After start flow, taxi flow, line up flow, FL100 checks etc.)
Parameters monitoring and callouts
PM constantly monitors the aircraft parameters and provides appropriate callouts both for normal
operation and exceedances. Also during approach it will analyze parameters individually (for individual
callouts like speed, bank, pitch, sink rate etc.) but also multiple parameters together to undestand the
situation and even call for go around if approach is unstable.
Pushback
Call ground when ready for pushback and simply inform them about the pushback facing direction!
(ie. Clear for push facing North/South/East/West). No need to draw the pushback path or provide numeric
data like pushback distance, pushback heading etc. The pushback algorithm reads data from the scenery
automatically and tries to identify the taxiway position and orientation behind the stand to push the
aircraft there!
In case of no valid taxiway data is received from the scenery or there are taxiways behind the
stand which makes identification of the appropritate position to pushback to, more difficult, the pushback
feature is still available and the algorithm will do it's best to push the aircraft to the position and orientation
as close as possible to the correct one.
RealTurb Pilot Monitoring for FBWA32NX is also compatible with the development version of FBW A32NX!

I downloaded this software a a few days ago and after several flights have mixed feelings as to whether or not I will get used to it. I find it very labour-intensive to keep running consistently and accurately with constant need to reset the homepage. I would sincerely hope should I continue to use this program that Realturb will constantly review this and keep it updated whenever needed. I am somewhat disappointed that I am unable to find how to resize the homepage with its settings once it's loaded. It will always open fullsize and it really would be nice if I could draw it down to a usable viewing size.
I have ran the program and I am totally satisfied.
After "Speech Recognition", which is a must, everything worked absolutely right and everything is more realistic compared to past versions.
From now on I will be able to fly as part of a crew, instead of flying on my own.
Very good job,
Thank you.
