HiFirst off I say what an excellent program radar contact is. Dont know how I managed to put up with the default fsx atc for so longBut for some reason it takes to attempts to load rc into fsx. the first time I load rc in I get the red box with all the options but they do not respond to any keyboard commandsI am then forced to end the flight and shut down and reboot rc then reload the same flight plan and start fsx again..... after this everthing works fine.It hasnt bothered me in the past but now I see it is causes conflcts with some of my aircraft addons(mainly the ones that use load mangers to load the aircraft they dont like being loaded into fsx twice)Any suggestionscheers Ash

It sounds like you might have an add-on conflict or one hogging resources. What other apps are you running at the same time?RC should be the last item started after your aircraft is loaded and setup with any other add-ons running.If in the past you did not have problems, what has changed. Make sure your FSUIPC is up to date (both full version and interim update) from the links at the forum top. The later versions have performance enhancing features. Make sure an add-on installation did not put in an earlier version of FSUIPC.Regarding key recognition be sure there are no conflicting commands with other add-ons. Be sure any FMC type aircraft do not have keyboard capture enabled which will steal keystrokes. Make sure the FS window is on top (has focus), not the RC FSUIPC window so you get key responses.Use the keyboard tab in RC to check your key assignments.

i can almost guarantee you, that you are clicking the start rc button, before fs is ready to fly. make sure fs is ready, not on a menu, but ready, plane at the gate, clock on the panel ticking. then jump over to rc, and load your .pln, set the options, and click start rc buttonjd

Thanks guys turns out I have been clicking the start RC button before clicking flynowHavent had any problems sinceCheers Ash
