RC4 and MCE

Featured Replies

I'm wanting to combine MCE and RC4 for my PMDG because i'm soon getting the 737 pedestal from FDS and i'll be handling all comms. So is anyone using these together and is it easy enough to get it going?

Vernon Howells

I could never get it to work consistently although others seem to have it working fine.

I use VAC  http://www.dwvac.com/

I also could never remember all of the MCE verbal commands and find it much easier to remember my own commands that I have used in VAC.

After creating a profile for RC it works flawlessly, the recognition is very good.

There is also "It's your Plane" from where I borrowed the command syntax to build my VAC profile.

Here are the RC commands and keypresses if you choose to go with VAC and create a profile, you can add your own multiple phrases for each RC command in VAC,you are not limited to just one for each action. use these as a starter and add your own as you build up a profile..

Thanks alot i'll try VAC out tonight. Is it pretty straight forward to setup etc?

Vernon Howells

Yes it is easy, Push to talk was probably the hardes part but I have a button on my yolk assigned to a keypress in Fsuipc (insert key) and have the following options setup in VAC.
