OK I know this an old thread (2006!  When ACES still lived) - however, it is a problem I have  - albeit with only one helicopter.  Still, I pace good $ for that helicopter and would like to flit it.

 

I noticed JJCarter (listed as an inactive member) stated:

 

"Cheers to Matt Fox!Winner of finding the most hidden solution of all the weird and wonderful things that challenge us in FSX!"

 

 Great - except I cannot find any post or another thread where Matt Fox's fix is listed.  . and I did a big search.

 

​I realize that the thread was probably before the terrible hack attack against Avsim , so I'm hoping that this solution wasn't part of what was lost.  

 

  Any thoughts?

I had to split your post off from that old 2006 Topic.  You state you have a problem with one helicopter (which one?).  That old topic was about ATC sound.  Is that your problem?  You are having problems with ATC sounds in one FSX helicopter?  A simple Google/Bing search for matt fox fsx tweak or Matt Fox FSX would find all kinds of posts related to his tweaks.  You can also go into the AVSIM Library and type Matt Fox in the search bar and you will receive a lot of hits there too for his "fixes".

 

In any case, please do not dredge up old posts like the one you just responded to.  For one thing, any 2006 topic that talked about an FSX issue was probably fixed in SP1 and/or SP2/Acceleration or it is no longer an issue.  There have also been fixes made by commercial developers.  If you are having a problem, please post a topic that explains exactly what you are looking for.  There are now a lot of "Matt Fox's" here at AVSIM who can expertly answer your questions.

 

Best regards,

 

Hi Jim,

 

 Didn't mean to drag up "accent" posts however, this one fit my difficulty pretty close.  Regret if I broke a forum protocol.  My sincere apologies.

 

Yes, I did a "Matt Fox" search and came up with many, many tweaks as you mentioned.  Unfortunately none of them were the one I was looking for, so this was my last resort.

 

  I have a brand new factory install of FSX Golden Edition which to my knowledge includes both SP's, Acceleration, etc.

 

  My problem is with a Nementh MD-900.  The symptoms are practically the same as what was described in the original post with one exception, I cannot hear ATC while it is doing its "repeating thing".  Essentially I get the ATC line - both my transmission and the ATC reply - repeated for each word in the transmission.  

 

  My purpose was to follow two troubleshooting paths.  Obviously a study of this MD900 install is called for an is first on my agenda today.  At the same time I was hoping to learn more of the is "Matt Fox" fix as this is not the first time I have had this issue with other aircraft.  On those occasions I simply shut down/restarted FSX and it went away - chalked it up to gremlins.  This was the first time I could consistently reproduce the problem.

 

  All that said, I will certainly follow your sage advice and start a new thread if my work on the MD900 doesn't fix it.

 

  Thanks for your response and guidance!

 

Cheers,

You did not break any forum rules/protocol.  The topic you brought up was from the year 2006.  The MD 900 (or is it the 902) was released in 2010.  If there was a problem with the helicopter ATC it would have been fixed. 

 

Here is the link you brought up in your OP in case someone else wants to read more about your problem - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/57605-atc-repeatsrepeatsone-wordone-wordagain/.  This is the method you should use if you want to reference an old topic.  Just post a link to it.

 

I found this link regarding problems with ATC not repeating and Matt Fox - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/204593-audio-problem-atc-repeats-words/.  Appears Matt Fox recommended a new Microsoft codec which is included with Windows.  I think you have a problem with your sound card or corrupted drivers.  You can run dxdiag in the Run command and see if there are any problems.

 

I conducted a search using the following:  microsoft codec fsx as the key words and came up with several possible solutions to the codec issue.

 

Hopefully you can find a fix for this problem. 

 

Best regards,

 

Thanks Jim,

 

A very helpful and timely response - much appreciated.

 

Based in the links you provided and the gentle suggestion that I get smarter on codecs  :lol: (which I have done) - I think I have narrowed it down to the actual helicopter.  No other aircraft are so affected at all.  All my drivers are up to date (plus the PC is just a few weeks old) - everything on the hardware and hardware-to-OS integration seems good.

 

My train of thought right now is that the helo in question starts up in an improper state with regard to the radios.  Other Nemeth helos start with the radios visibly off.  Radios off=no transmission/reception.  Turn them on - no problems.  

 

This one starts with them visibly on.  However, if there is a mismatch between in the code--part of it thinks the radio is on, only to be overridden by the part that thinks its off--this may start "cycles" between on-off  - which may explain the symptoms.  

 

I can think off a couple of corrective measure to try - starting off with a default C172 and then switch usually cures ailments such as this.  

 

Bottom Line, thanks to your help, I'll be bugging Nemeth support from here on in.   :biggrin: 

 

Cheers! 

Good luck in finding a solution!  I'm going to rename your topic again to more closely relate to the problem you are having.  It's hard to believe others who own the Nemeth Design 900 Helicopter are not having this same issue (or at least I was unable to find any similar issues).

 

Best regards,
