Hi, usually i have PF3 in use together with MCE wich works great so far. I have just a little issue with an anoying sound that´s played on every keypress while in flight. The sound is the same, that is played on some keypress in the GUI of PF3, though i think it´s related to PF3 rather then MCE.

Everything works normal like , setup the flightplan, load into PF3 connect to P3D, but once i´ve connected PF3-ATC to P3D having MCE loaded, from then on every time i press a key on the P3D PC i get to hear that "pong" is played. No matter which key (s-key for the views, .-for the brakes etc.)
As far i have tested it only happens when MCE is already loaded in P3D at that time when i connect the PF3 to the SIM. (PF3 application is already running). 
If i connect the PF3 FP to P3D without MCE is running and start MCE after PF3 connection, there is no "pong" played. 

Has anyone an idea what could cause this issue? 

I´ve raised the same thread in PF3 forum because both apps can be responsible.

Hi,

Have you tried to uncheck the "Beep whenever a hotkey is detected" option?

Click on PF3 "Advanced Options and INI file Tweaks" then uncheck the "Beep whenever a hotkey is detected".

Hi Richard,

this option is disabled in my ini anyway.

I don't know for sure

The "pong" usually happens when a key is sent to a window and the latter happens to be out of focus.

In any vase, update to latest, check again and we'll take things from there.

Indeed Gerald, this is exactly the situation how it apears.

I´ve updated to the latest build and voilà, no "poing" anymore. I´ve tested it with having MCE already running at that moment when i connect the PF3-FP to the SIM and again by starting MCE afterwards. Both situations the SIM stayed quiet. I´am happy now and thank you very much for the quick help.

wouldn´t it be an Option to build an update check into MCE?

Can probably be done.

But since day one, we elected not to do any online checks, hence the use of a flexible activation file locked to hardware (that can be re-used after formatting C drive). We are no Microsoft or Adobe, with thousands of activation requests every day 😀.

For significant updates, we do notify everyone via e-mail.

Waiting for V2.8.0.5 to be confirmed as a good harvest, then will notify everyone next week.

Perhaps you can feedback here

I wouldn´t need an update option where you click "update now" and everything runs automatic. Just only an information on the startup screen of MCE that there is a new(er) version available would help. The procedure of updating could be left as is now. 

As i´ve seen in the threat from RALF9636 you have done some adjustments and improvements. Of course i´ll let you know if i notice issues. The main issue for me is still the latter of the FO in backreading the ATC instruction given by PF3 with TTS voices. There must be a way to get this improved.
