767 Pilot in Command

Screenshots:

Background:
Wilco's latest add-on to Microsoft Flight Simulator puts you in the cockpit of a 767 airplane. Interact with others in the cockpit and correct any number of failure scenarios that may occur mid-flight, or choose to fly the friendly skies scare-free.

Gameplay:
You can select from a menu of failure scenarios and go through the motions of taming your airborne tiger. What do you do when you’re halfway to your cruising altitude and your right engine suddenly grinds to a halt? What about when your hydraulic system goes on the fritz? Inquiring simmers want to know – and 767 Pilot in Command has the answers.

After you’ve mastered the checklist for each emergency during short flights with predictable failures that you’ve chosen yourself, you move on to a series of flights where any malfunction that is now in your repertoire can occur at any time. Replicating the Prof Checks that real-life pilots must go through to retain their licenses, these adventures over both U.S. and European terrain test your reflexes as well as your knowledge.

For the first time, 767 Pilot in Command offers interactivity between the flight panel and the adventure. If red warning lights are flashing, for example, you can hear the instructor saying, "Captain, we have a failure on board, we need to follow the Engine Fire checklist ." If your flight panel indicates that an engine has failed, the instructor will announce that "It’s time to go to an alternate airport.

For those who prefer a calmer flying experience or for days when you don’t want to be reminded of your last close encounter with airborne calamity, the sim can also be flown without any failures, with all normal procedures of the 767 recreated.
