Featured Replies

I really enjoyed my first attempt at this program but have a few questionswhen requesting atis wx brfing in rc4 I get both fs9 atis and rc4, I dont want to turn off atc completely in fs9 as it is going to be required given that there is no ground instructionsDoes atc in fs9 mirror what is going on in rc4. I dont see any taxi info for example. so will rc4 understand where one is pursuant to instructions received from ground in rc4Does rc4 recognize aircraft in ai ( airnav fs live??) Note I tried runing all of my add-ins at the same,,fs passnegerairnav fs livefdc liveavs weatherrc4I know that is allot of stuff but when doing a short flight ifr from windsor to cleveland using the king 350 I almost got it all working, everything was doing just fine until takeoff , then it all froze...I suppose it was just too much at the same time,,,,, Lastly , is rc4 picking up my actual AI traffic or is it generated via the program random. If i keep the background fs atc open the ai traffic seems to be recognized..

Hi There,Which weather generator is this? It is probably telling youuse fsuipc to clear all weather before using the weather generator. Do all of this before you load RC.RC will tell you to taxi to a runway and hold short but won't tell you which route to take.. On the way you will be told to contact or monitor tower. Tower will know when you are holding short.Trafficlook should work with the unregistered fsuipc I think.Which version of FDC are you using. Check the FDC forum for details of the updates you need.All the best,John

Do all of this before you load RC./MY WX GENERATOR IS ACTIVE SKY i ALSO HAVE WEATHER MAKER 4,, iM NOT SURE WHAT WILL WORK BETTER WITH RC4. ACTUALLY THE ACTIVE SKY INSTRUCTIONS INDICATE THAT I SHOULD HIT THE TURN OFF WEATHER BUTTON IN FSUIPC VS WEATHER MAKER WHICH SAYS CLEAR ALL WEATHER.I LIKE TO FLY WITH REAL WEATHER THAT CHANGES SO I DONT REALLY SET UP THE WEATHER OTHER THAN TO GET UPDATES AT A PRESET INTERVAL...>>RC will tell you to taxi to a runway and hold short but won't>tell you which route to take..

Hi there,Active sky should work fine. I've used most of the versions with RC during testing with no problems. I've never used weather maker.Generally you wouldn't bother with FSATC at all. RC doesn't really know what fsatc is doing, but if ai are active RC will choose one of the runways they are using.If you wish you can then request any runway you want from the RC ground controller.Trafficlook is a seperate program. You'll find trafficlook.exe in the fsuipc downloaded zip file.With FDC live cockpit make sure you have upgraded to v3.1All the best,John
