As being a flight simulation enthusiast, and the Boeing 737-800 Series being one of my favorite planes, what is better than a device that gives you a
Co-Pilot.
Whether you’re beginning your flight or ending the flight, Fs2crew is there for you, giving you help by just a push of a button, with no FPS effect!
Fs2Crew Includes:
•Full set of PA Announcements.
•Co-Pilot that speaks, and helps you for random things.
•Integrated pushback device, with Ground Crew speaking to you.
•Helpful Flight Attendant.
•Excellent Manual.
Product Requirements:
PMDG737-800/900 Series - $27.95

Test System:
AMD Athlon Xp 2600+
768MB PC2700 RAM
80GB Hardrive
Radeon 9800 Pro
Thank you Bryan York and the Fs2Crew team for letting me experience and review this product, Kevin Nelson

I'd rather fly by myself than use this
|

I can't believe I spent 20 dollars on this. It is less a hassle to just fly the plane yourself than it is setting up this utterly useless program. I love the PMDG 737 series, but this is worthless!

I don't know quite what Drater's problem is, but I've been using FS2Crew for a week now and it gets better every time. I just figured out how to do a Monitored Approach and it was a blast!
It's a steal at $19.99 given what it does. It really feels like your flying in an airline environement, with the FO and FA and other people doing their duties just as they would on the real plane. The FO can even flip all the switches on the plane.
This is definately for the hardcore crowd however. If you're just a casual gamer, then don't bother with it.

Pros:
|
Flows, realism, less work on PIC
|
|
Cons:
|
Setup, flows, layout
|
|
The PMDG 737 FS2CREW addition is a great addition for anyone looking for more realism with checklists and cockpit flows. The program is quite a PITA to prep, as you must load a default Cessna in 2D mode, shut stuff down, and then load the PMDG, unlike the FS2CREW 767 version where you just load up the 767 and your good to go.
Once your loaded into the cold and dark 737, you load up FS2CREW and set variables such as time to departure and flight time. From there, you go through flight flows and checklists with your virtual "F/O" by pressing red or green buttons on the display. The F/O handles gear, flaps, auto-brakes and other systems, while you handle flight controls and other vital systems.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking to raise their realism.

Pros:
|
Adds realism
|
|
Cons:
|
More costs to the already expensive PMDG 737+800/900 expansion, doesn't integrate as well as newer version of FS2crew,
|
|
Still good but the newer versions of FS2crew, the LDS 767 for example, are much better.
