Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 17, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted February 17, 2021 Here is the tutorial. Not as easy to translate because of the aviation related terminology. You will have to decide what to translate and what not. That depends a lot on the country. French translate a lot, Dutch translate far less. MSFS_Vol3_Tutorial_20210214 - Copy.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec246 11 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I want to ask my translators buddies how they are doing with the checklist itens translation: for ex. If I translate Engine Bleeds then i think people wont find the Switch on the overhead, because they dont have translation there. I could add Engine Bleeds (translation) but then I fear the manual would endup 50% bigger in size. Anyone have a better solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing I am struggling with as well... and I am sure Mathijs + the rest of Aerosoft team will understand each translated manual will differ. As a rule of thumb, I have left any labels that correspond to an image or graphic in English, but translate 99% of the rest of the document. As for the checklist items, I would translate the actual information + instruction and leave any labels in English. You can wait for a response from someone else as well, but a lot of this work is trying to solve problems and figure out what works best... Good luck to you!

zenit_swe 90 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I can't figure out what this means: Quote In case users like to skip parts of the preparation, we added ‘navigation pages’ which offer hyperlinks to later chapters I'm not able to find any "navigation pages" with hyperlinks so I wonder if we have the correct revision? I'm also a bit confused about the purpose of having hyperlinks when you start the manual by recommending the reader to print it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenit_swe 90 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Which is it, gate 1 or 33? Quote We will start your flight at Gate 1 at Paderborn airport Quote Otherwise please configure MSFS accordingly to load the CRJ700ER in the Lufthansa livery at Paderborn airport, Gate 33.

zenit_swe 90 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I brought this up in the thread about Vol. 1 as well but did not get any response. On page 3-1-15 you state the following: Quote Note that in MSFS multi-position switches (like ON – OFF – AUTO) need to be set using the scroll-wheel. This may or may not be true for the CRJ, but this is not a general rule for MSFS. In all aircraft models I've been using so far you can interact with 3-way switches without a mouse wheel by clicking above or beneath the switch. I can agree that it's easier using the mouse wheel, but the above statement is not correct as far as MSFS goes. If this is the case with the CRJ I suggest changing it to something like this: Quote Note that in in the CRJ multi-position switches (like ON – OFF – AUTO) need to be set using the scroll-wheel.

Alec246 11 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Found another one needing correction. Page 62 of 77 "Use the following rule of thumb (rather inaccurate): remove the last three digits of your current altitude (expressed in thousands of feet), multiply the resulting value by three and there is the distance the aircraft covers during descend. Here is an example: cruising altitude is 18,000 feet. Step one, remove last three digits 18,000 → 28. Step 2: multiply by three: 28 x 3 = 84 miles." The result should be 18 x 3 = 54. The Manual has swapped to 28 x 3 = 84 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabri91 7 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Regarding the "descend" section of Vol3: I believe that the correct spelling of the phase of flight is descenT, with a T, while descenD, with a D, is the verb, i.e. "to descend". Additionally, regarding the need to start the descent checklist, the mention of the need to go through it is made 2-3 times in a couple of paragraphs, to the point thtat it seems a bit redundant.

pawel-d 11 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi, I think there is mistake regarding the windshield heating switches - page 26 - "Now activate the windshield heating (L and R probe switches) " I think probe switches are different thing, and it should state WSHLD switches...

Deputy Sheriffs The Dude 6537 Posted February 21, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 21, 2021 correct, good catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel-d 11 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 One more thing - page 29, position 26 - ANTI SKID TEST - it points to Overhead Glare Panel and should be Upper Pedestal I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel-d 11 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 And some other mistake (at least I think so..). Page 58, description of initial Climb. There is acceleration and flap retraction phase: "the aircraft accelerates again and passes 180 kts retract the flaps to 8°. " I think we take-off with flaps 8, so we retract to 1. Is that correct?

zenit_swe 90 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think it would be a good idea to go over the "logical panels" one more time in order to sync how you refer to them through all volumes. In this one I found the following inconsistencies: Center pedestal - In volume 1 you divide the pedestal into upper and lower Overhead Glare Panel - In volume 1 there's only an Overhead Panel Main panel - There's no mention of any main panel in volume 1 Even though most people probably understand what you mean I think it may cause unnecessary confusion among some of your customers.

riskas123 263 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 "(selected options might differ depending on the selected options)", yeah... You don't say? I think that'd be better phrased as "(the look might differ depending on the selected options)", this is referring to the EFB options page, for context.

zenit_swe 90 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @The Dude or @Mathijs Kok, could you please explain this part of the FUEL FEED CHECK VALVE TEST: Quote Please keep in mind that now you must shut down engine 2 first to complete the test procedure! I tried to find something about it in the episode 4 - Engine start on YouTube but it seems you skipped this part entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel-d 11 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @zenit_swe It was skipped because it was probably not the first flight in the day . And it's done only once per day. Regarding shutting the second engine first - it means that after landing we need to shutdown engines in oposite order, so the test can be performed for the other side. Test is somehow explained (well, maybe not explained, but there is something about it) here: https://www.pprune.org/tech-log/352900-crj-series-fuel-check-valve-check.html For more info we need to look into system documentation. Or ask The Dude . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
