<br />have you tried online flying, free atc, maybe thats what you need<br />

<br /><br /><br />Do I need a mic or only a headset and is it free?

You are being given lots of solutions that are not for the problems you describe in your inital post. My advice is to not bulldoze around installing new items but to concentrate on resolving the issues you originally described. Most of these "solutions" will do absolutely nothing for your original problems and in many cases will make things seem worse. Implementing an ATC system that does not fully inter-act with your AI traffic is unlikely to stop other planes running into and through your aircraft but might make their behaviour seem even stranger.I offered you some ideas and asked you some specific questions to help try and pin down your problems. You never answered those questions.John

It's OK now AI smooth is doing the job so thanks anyways

No, there are no free ATC programs.

Well yes and no!! There is FSEditVoicePack which is free, while not a true stand alone ATC program like your Radar Contact, it does modify the phraseology of the default ATC to something more realistic. Like RC it includes both FAA, and ICAO sets, (Although not together). It is also the most user modifiable being an editor. I made a couple of modifications myself for FSX. Adding wind callouts to landing clearances, and expected flight levels in Clearance delivery instructions. It still doesn't handle Sid's, though they can be included in the flightplan itself with a 3rd party flight planner, Or Stars (and they too could be done if approaches are setup in the airports AFCAD, which unfortunately most aren't, freeware or payware). Then again it does perform Ground Control. That along with AISmooth works very well in FSX. I really liked RC4 when I used FS9, but for me at least in FSX it doesn't handle AI as well.

<br /><br /><br />I'm kind of low on budget right now so I would wait a bit although thanks for the advise and wish you all a happy new year!

I hear you on that one my friend. In addition to all the usual Christmas expenses, I had BOTH my cars break down and leave me stranded on Christmas Eve. (Maybe I should check with the Guiness Book of World Records!) So my pockets are pretty empty right now too! :( But when you get the chance, it's definitely worth getting.. Have a great 2011Ian

PFE does sound good, but watching the Approach video (3rd video in the set) it seemed like it was vectoring him all over the map. Is this the norm? People complain of the FS vectors, but I never seen it do anything like that.Here's a video set with EditVoicepack, along with my mods.

If you are annoyed at ai traffic, just use time acceleration above or at 8x times, then set back.It will eliminate flying traffic.

I've installed it now I don't know how to use it can someone give me a clear step by step what to do?

You need first to read and inwardly digest the manuel fully and carefully. Make sure your version is 2.14 also.If you have any problems you can go here to the forum as it was moved from avsim after the hacking incident.To get PFE to work well your flight plan has to be meticulous and conform exactly to PFE's needs. Even I have discrepancies from time to time. (e.g. BIG Star requires a minimum of FL70 but PFE aks me to descend lower. There is a way of resolving this which I will check up on in the forum when I have time.) However, there are ways to overcome most. But read and re read the documentation first. Make simple straight forward fp's to learn how to use it. Also make sure your airports are correctly configured re landing and take-off permissions on rwys.vololiberista

How do you delete a Adv file in PE2000?

How do you delete a Adv file in PE2000?

Read the PFE manuel and also the manuel for your windows version if you don't know how to use Windows Explorer.vololiberista

How do you delete a Adv file in PE2000?

By clicking on the button labelled "Delete ADV File plus associated GPS and BRF files".J

Hi,Perhaps the original problem with your traffic is related to having double afcad-files for some of your airports. You mention you have Aerosoft Heathrow. You did not happen to use another third party afcad for that airport, which you forgot to disable?Good luck,Henri

Thank you johnhinson and Henri no that wasn't the problem anyway I got that solved thanks anyway. On PFE there is no callsigns for Easyjet, Ryanair or Sri Lankan Airlines. Is there a way to get them callsigns?
