I notice that RC seems to be behind on AI announcements. While waiting for my departure from PHNL today, RC announced that Pan Am 1016 was on 6 mi final, when in fact, it had already landed. Is this just one of things about RC that might need a little work?Thanks

It is recommended that Pre-recorded Chatter be off, keep AI Chatter on, keep Interact with AI on, and Display Text options off to speed RC performance.Some add-ons can hog CPU time which also slows RC. If using a supplemental weather or AI program that issues audio I recommend you disable those and just use RC's capabilities.

i'd have to see a log, to see what happend on your departures.make sure you have pre-recorded chatter turned off, and display-text turned off in the rc options. also make sure you have interact with ai checked, and that you have the latest version of makerwys.exe in the root directory of fs, and that you click the rebuild rc scenery data base button, inside rc. rebuild the scenery database everytime you add third party sceneryjd

I did check all that and looks correct. I only noticed it this one time so far. When I landed at KLAX all seemed in order. There were a lot of AI's coming in to PHNL at the same time. BTW, how do I check the 'makerwy' version? I think it has to be ver. 4.41 or something like that?Thanks much

For makerwys.exe it is located in your FS folder. Right click on it, choose properties, then look at the version tab. Do the same for fsuipc.dll in the modules folder.makerwys.exe should be at 4.41 or better. fsuipc.dll for FS9 should be at 3.98 or better and at least 4.60 for FSX. The full released versions are at:http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.htmlMinor updates (be sure to read the release notes and have the current released version installed first) are at:http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=74352&sid=8cb56767174b61ba4ee880e5cc04ed2eAre you an ASE user under FSX? ASE has been known to cause performance issues for some.

wow, I was a bit behind on the 'makerwys' part of it. I was on ver 4.2, the FSUIP was ok at 3.98 so everything now updated. Thanks for your help on this. Much appreciated.

Now that you have installed a new makerwys.exe from within RC run the scenery rebuild to update your RC database. Be sure to put in the full path to your FS9 folder when requested. I keep that path in a .txt file with a desktop shortcut to it. That way I can copy then paste it into any dialog requesting the full FS path. It saves typing and typing errors.

roger all that and thanks!
