April 9, 20188 yr I suggest a new rule: Only post positive things about any ATC add-ons, unless it is your favourite ATC add-on. I'll start: What I like about PF3, and RC4 does the same here, is that it is fully usable without a microphone. And I enjoy the amount of different voices in PF3, my favourite ATC add-on, even if some of them do not sound that good in my ears, but it contains a facility to exclude those.
April 9, 20188 yr What I like in PF3 is that it is very well supported, very much developed as a program, with up to date terminology, amount of recorded voices, and MCE support. Meaning you can press buttons to your hearts delight or speak correct terminology via MCE, that can in addition use check lists and flows, full suite.

While the rc in sim UI is certainly dated, the underlying code is still very effective.

April 9, 20188 yr Hi Folks, OMG - since I've added "Voice Attack" to control RC4 - it's like a whole new world - like going from a 2D panel to a VC - no more hunt and peck for - - - 1 - 7 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 7 - - - the freedom from the ball and chain - wow - I could never go back to not talking to my PC... Obviously you need a good headset... In addition to ATC - VA acts as my virtual copilot - pressing buttons, acknowledging instructions, and reading checklists... Best $10.00 I've ever spent on FS... Regards, Scott Edited April 9, 20188 yr by scottb613

Regards, Scott Yes, while Voice Attack is great, still MCE is more FSX/P3D oriented. You can do in MCE all that like above and have interactive checklists as well. That would take a lot, a lot of digging in Voice Attack and tinkering with P3D. MCE+ you name it, is even more OMG in context I would say. But more expensive, yes. While Shoot still works btw, that is free )) Edited April 9, 20188 yr by Dirk98
April 9, 20188 yr Author Yeah I have VA as well and use it for comms to AI in Falcon as well as RC. Mind you I usually hand over comms in rc to my copilot Edited April 9, 20188 yr by Boomer
September 17, 20187 yr Used Radar Comtact for years. With my new install I tried PF3 amd found it extremely difficult to setup with a huge learning curve. I felt like I had a blindfold on while trying to learn it...no menus for button pushes, popping up screens, etc. It’s about 10x more complicated than Radar Contact and doesn’t even work as well. I also tried VoxAtc briefly but went running back to RC. I do not like talking to a ATC or a co-pilot, it’s too unreliable and clunky. For me RC is by far the best ATC addon.
