June 12, 20205 yr Author Hello Gerald, Thank you for the fsInsider.dll. At least I got a reaction...not good but a reaction. Followed your instructions, and installed the fsInsider.dll on the FS9 Modules folder. Installed the fsInsider.ini file on the main fs9 folder. Deleted the old version (same) files from the same folders. Restarted FS9 as admin and got this message: ERROR FS9 Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft OR SOFTWARE. you can continue using Flight Simulator but this aircraft or software will be disabled. File: fsInsider.dll Yet I continued to load RC4 Flight plan and MCE and the result was the same...Starts, I hear the communications and then gets stuck trying to connect to FS9. I looked to see if I could find the "fsInsider.log" in FS9 installation folder, but is not there. Never got to change the Debug setting from 0 to 1. therefore never saw the "Initializing and Finished Initializing" boxes.I am not running FS9 in WIN XP compatibility mode either. So far I have read 40 pages of this forum to see if there has been in the past a similar situation and nothing. If you guys cannot help me with this, nobody can. Funny thing is, I believe in MCE and I know it works which leaves me to think that the problem resides on my end, yet my installation is a full blown very high performance simulator with its enclosure and 4 very large screens + touch, and has been running absolutely perfect for the last 10 years.( I am a retired professional pilot) so for me its a matter of emulating the real world without being online. Maybe in the end it might be a very small thing...Lets see any more suggestions? Say, is there a MCE support EMail that can be used, so that videos and pictures could be easily be exchanged with the experts? Thank you Roy DeForrest

Even though we provide a Demo and it would be easy to just say "Try before you buy", rather than remove this, re-install the sim or heaven forbid Windows, we will do our best to get you going. No need to consider re-installing anything. MCE doesn't modify simulator files in sim folder. Not even "Panel.cfg". It runs as an external process "mce.exe" (speech engine is run in this process as well) for better stability of the simulator. But it needs fsInsider.dll running inside the sim in order to connect to it and feed co-pilot with situational awareness. That includes the obvious ones like SPD, HDG, ALT, VS, autopilot data, ALT, position, etc but also things like which FS9, RC4 or PF3 ATC options are displayed at any given time so that it doesn't just send key presses blindly and hope for the best. E-mail is: support<>multicrewxp.com Believe it or not, we just had another guy report a similar issue with FS9 today via e-mail. Therefore, we'll be looking at it closely and probably create a new dll that is stripped of all the things added to it over the years, in order to accommodate FSX, and Prepar3D. Give us a good week. Meanwhile, can practice with FSX or P3D for familiarization with software. Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com
June 12, 20205 yr Author Very well Gerald. I will continue this through the E Mail system with support. I will communicate what I find in the meantime. Thank you immensely for your support. Roy
