My RC has stopped giving voice commands---example-"climb and maintain (blank--no voice) squawk 2324"---it does this with all altitude commands/transmissions---seems like a file is missing or something!!

 

Cheers and thanks for any help

Load a .pln and open the controller page. Check the cruising altitude. If in the departure phase see if you are operating a departure procedure with no altitude restrictions on that controller page. All altitudes are set as feet. Be sure you are on the US system in Win for decimal standards.

 

Have you changed any voice sets? The numerics for altitude are in the same set with all commands.

 

If your problem continues send in a log as in the pinned topic. Start it before you load your flight plan into RC.

also check that you aren't getting a ridiculous pressure

 

also make sure your transition altitude/level is correct. that will throw things off

 

if none of that helps, of course, like always, make a log, info pinned at the top of the forum, and i can see what is going wrong and why

Thanks Ronzie and JD---I changed the FL (which was 0) in the controllers box and then RC started to work again---I will do some different flights today and see how things are working out.

 

Cheers

What was the cruising level in your flight .pln file? That's where RC pulls it in from.

 

In FS9 the .pln line looks like "cruising_altitude=37000". In FSX like: "<CruisingAlt>37000</CruisingAlt>".

 

RC adds the two 0's in the controller dialog box so in this example 370 would be the editable portion so it would show as 370 (00) on the controller page or the altitude in hundreds of feet. Here the term flight level is taken a bit loosely as if you flying in some areas but below the transition altitudes.

I am a new user of PFPX---I may not be understanding how to put the FL information in correctly---I have been making it work by putting in the information in the controller box prior to each flight

looks like it is automatically configured. In the OFP screen shot the initial altitude is shown. Another thread showed that one user experienced altitudes he selected for a waypoint did not stick.

 

Yet another stated that for a 60 nm hop FL410 (usually maximum) was suggested.

 

It appears that for the aircraft profile, weather, etc., this product creates the route and altitudes as will a flight dispatch department. Where the captain can modify elements it did not show.

 

Anyway, I just looked at the screen shots and a couple of threads on their forum. I do not have this product so I'm not an expert.

This is a very cool product for My virtual airline flying--but it is very deep in it's capabilities--it is simple to use but there is much more to it than meets the eye---it is a six month learn
