Hi.I have been working with voxATC for some time with great success in fixed wing and other helis. Today I decided to give it a try with the Dodosim 206 but the voxATC option does not come up.I have ran the indexer twice, rebooted and ran the panel setup twice, as I have done in the past with other AC. Still cannot recall voxATC in the Dodosim.Can someone help? Thank you.

GMFM,Sometimes the name of the aircraft is not what you expect it to be, so maybe take a closer look?If this does not help then you may have to insert VoxATC into the panel cfg manually.

Problem solved by editing the cfg file. Case closed.

Can you please provide a step by step description ? Have the same problem with my Aerosoft Catalina . Thanks Paul

Hi, Paul.If the panel installer from VoxATC struggles to enable the necessary panels, this might be a cause of insufficient rights. So please make sure to always run it as admin by right clicking and choosing this option or adding it to the "properties" of that executable.If it still fails, you have to add those VoxATC panels manually to the panel.cfg of that aircraft.VoxATC manual edit1. Go to the actual folder of that special panel.cfg file. The path looks this SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft_PBY-5A_Civ\panel (the subfolder will always contain "panel", only the aircraft name will differ. Some aircraft have more than one panel folder and therefore more than one panel.cfg to edit then)2. Make a backup of the current panel.cfg file by just copying it. The file which is used by FSX later is only detected by its name, which will always be "panel.cfg" for the active one. Any other name is not processed.3. Open that file with e. g. Notepad and look into the [Window Titles] section. You should add two new titles now and make sure that their numbers are ascending from the current window numbers.

WindowXX=VoxATCWindowXY=VoxATC Recent Comms

See that XX and XY there? That's where you have to place the numbers. So if the last window had a 03, your new VoxATC window numbers will be 04 (for XX) and 05 (for XY) then.So they might look like this then.

Window04=VoxATCWindow05=VoxATC Recent Comms

4. Now scroll down to the very end of that file and add those two new windows as a definition now. Looking like this.

////<VoxATC[WindowXX]visible=1position=4size_mm=400,200pixel_size = 400, 200background_color=0,0,0ident=14077zorder=5alpha_blend=0.65gauge00=VAGauge!VoxATCPrompt,0,0////>VoxATC////<VoxATC[WindowXY]visible=0position=5size_mm=400,600pixel_size = 400, 600background_color=255,255,255ident=14078zorder=5gauge00=VAInfo!VoxATCInfo,0,0,400,600////>VoxATC

Again, the numbers are important. You'll find the placeholders XX and XY again, so just replace them with the numbers used in the [Window Titles] section and you'll be fine.5. Last step is to save this modified panel.cfg now. Please make sure to save it as "panel.cfg" and not as "panel.cfg.txt" or something.Start FSX, load that plane and switch through the popup windows by using the Shift+Number key commands or the FSX menu where the panels of the current aircraft are listed. You should have two new windows for VoxATC now.
