Multi Crew Experience

[mikced76 57]

Hi

recently started to use Multi Crew Experience with p3d v4 only the ATC part of it, everything else deactivated. Hope someone can help with two short question

1) Even though I deactivated everything but the ATC bit I still hear som chatter from ground crew etc. Can these be turned off somewhere I am missing. Not very realistc as my aircraft is the A2A c172

2) The ATC bit works amazing. With my Saitek radio panel I can dial in all freq and talk to various controllers along my route without even touching the keyboard, except for one segment of every flight, when contacting a Tower. Is there a way around having to go through the menu and select ”nearest airport”. I have a vague memory of reading somewhere there is a feature that automatcally detects the tower freq you tune and MCE would bypass that manual menu but I am not sure, cant find any setting for it.

thanks

I would check out the MCE Forums hosted here at AVSIM.  Just making sure you are aware of their support forums.

Hello Mike

If you haven't updated your MCE installation for a while, suggest you do. Download here

When done with the update, restore MCE to factory settings.

Start->All Apps->Multi Crew Experience->Restore factory settings.

That will give you a fresh config file with default settings.

Then go to MCE UI "General" tab and click <More options>

In "Advanced options" panel, click <View config.

"mce.ini" will open in Notepad.

Scroll down to the [GO-Flight] section, and ensure "Use=1".

Assuming you're flying VFR, with no flight plan (feature isn't active when under a specific flight plan), whenever MCE detects you're dialling COM1, either via Go-flight module or direct clicks in VC, it will monitor the process. When there is no more dialling for 3 seconds (can be extended to 5 sec), it will assume you are done setting the frequency and will try to match it to whatever facility is within a 200 mile radius with that same frequency.

It should then automatically select [Nearest airport list], scroll through the list of nearby airports and hopefully pick-up the one that has the freq you just dialled so you can just start transmitting straight away.

The Go-flight setting in my mce.ini was alredy there. I installed the latest version of MCE from the website (fresh install of p3d and MCE). Could it be either that I am not using the Go-Flight radio module but rather the Saitek radio panel or perhaps the fact I am using spad.next to control all my Saitek gear? Other than that my p3d install is clean no other addons.
