New options for FS9 VoxATC/ VoxATC UK users

This morning I stumbled upon some settings that may open up some new options for Vox ATC users. As much as I love VoxATC, I've always been disappointed that the standard version for FS9 doesn't feature visible AI traffic. Those wanting visible traffic have had the option of purchasing VoxATC UK, but it's not a terrific one for North American users, mainly because it uses UK ATC phraseology ('decimal' 'pass your message' and 'ready for departure') and issues altimeter settings in millibars.However, I've found a way to tweak the UK version, so that simmers can (at least partially) revert to North American phraseology and altimeter settings while enjoying the visible AI of the UK version.Here's how:Using XML Notepad 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?FamilyID=72d6aa49-787d-4118-ba5f-4f30fe913628&displaylang=en), open the file "VASettings.xml" in the main VoxATC UK folder. In that file, edit the following entries:AlitimeterTerm/value to "altimeter"PassMessageTerm/Value to "go ahead"ReadyForDepartureTerm/Value to "ready for takeoff"DecimalPointTerm/value to "point"CanUseQFE/value to "false"UseMillibars/value to "false"There are other settings in this file which can be changed, but I haven't experimented with them yet. Once you've made the edits, just hit save.If you're an existing user of the regular fs9 VoxATC version and desperately want to add visible AI traffic, buying the UK version and adding these tweaks may be something to consider. Or if you've considered buying the regular version of VoxATC buy have been turned off by the lack of visible AI, this may give you a more compelling to check out VoxATC UK.
