Well just like you guy suggested, I heard no RC3 voices due to my old soundcard.I picked up SB audigy today and *Whalla !* Presto ATC !Sounds great too !Walt,

just curiouswhat was your config before the new cardand your config after the new card?

I had a onboard Crystal Fusion sound card in a HP XU800.I just disabled it and installed a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer.Win98933 Intel256KGeForce2 TiThanks for the help !Walt,

Walt,I'm very glad to read that!Now I bet you'll find other programs where you were missing sound, too! ;-)I wish you many Bill-free flights!

Hehh Thanks ! One short flight down, Tons to go ! :)Walt,>Walt, >>I'm very glad to read that! >>Now I bet you'll find other programs where you were missing >sound, too! ;-) >>I wish you many Bill-free flights!

Kinda funny... I was cleared for a approach in KTPA and was given the usual heading, alt and rwy cleared to land on.My reply instead of a readback was something like "Yeah,I'll do all that..."I don't think Tampa approcah would be too thrilled w that reply ! :)Walt,

Hi Walt,Pilots can say whatever they like. There are no phraseology rules for them, only for us poor over worked swivel heads... :-lolLarry

Hey Larry,Really ? I assumed you needed a clear read back which contained all pertinant information.So you saying in real life I could just say" Roger,Cleared for approach"Hmm.. Interesting.Walt,

Hi Walt,Yes, it's true. Here in the states we have our bible the FAA Order 7110.65. It requires us to use specific phraseology. The pilots are not bound by anything. The AIM gives guidelines, but nothing mandatory. Perhaps some companies have some policy's, but the main responsibilty for ensuring proper two way communication, is on us. So, say it any way you like and if I don't understand I will say "Say Again????" :-lolLarry
