Has anyone pass the Comm. pilot checkride?    It keep telling me I failed because I didn't set MP to 15 for decent after I landed @ S43.  Of course I did set it  to 15 when decent

I never tried the lessons in FSX if they are anything like the ones in  FS9 forget them you had to just about do everything exactly right plus be the right date and time with the shadows falling to the west on Friday. I think you get what I am saying. I would not worry about it just tell them to take a long walk off a short pier over shark infested waters. 8-)

I didn't even know there were checkrides in FSX. Where are they, maybe I'll give one a shot

Found them...I thought FS got rid of them

I finally passed it...  Figured out what I was doing wrong.   You have to follow what the examiner (lady) tells you to do and when to do it even if there is that stupid text message on top telling u to do something...   I was decent too soon in segment 2 from 3500 to 1500.     Don't follow the 'text' to top.  That will throw you off.    

You also will need to stick with 2500 rpm/25 in for all cruise climb and 2500 rpm/15 in for all  decent.   Keep an eye on the pressure, and remember to open/close the crowl flaps.

You will properly need a few tries.  Deadstick landing with eng out is hard......  

Good luck
