I have only done a few flights with Radar Control but notice that some major Airports eg,YPAD Adelaide,are referred to by their code rather than the name as in the case with FS9 atc control. Is there any way that the voice packs for Editvoice and My Traffic can be used with rcv4? I currently have both installed. Apart from the slowness of speech I am impressed by the program though I wish the controllers would stop constantly telling me to check my altitude! I assume that this is due to constantly changing air pressure in the weather theme used at the time? I will have to check this out.

i suspect you aren't properly setting the standard pressure or the local pressure in the altimeter. remember, in the usa, when you cross 18000, you have to change the altimeter from local pressure to 29.92outside the usa, you have to change the altimeter to 29.92 when climbing through the transition altitude. you have to change back from 29.92 to local pressure as you are descending through the transition level.no, editvoicepack or my traffic can't be used for airports that aren't recorded by name. it would sound a little funny to hear two voices in a clearance, don't you think?jd

Hi johnd,We asked members of the beta team to list their preferred airports. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane made it in but Adelaide missed out. We, unlike Microsaoft, don't have the resources to record thoudands of airport names. We have included requests from users - JD may chip in and ask you to send your request separately. EditVoicePack can't be used to create additional wavs unfortunately.If you're being told to check your altitude then that's because your at the wrong altitude :-) When you pass through the transition level you should hear "Altimeter check". That's your signal to tune to standard pressure when climbing or to local QNH pressure when descending. Search the manual for 'transition' for the background.Cheers,

Thanks for the replies. I guess that I will have to wait until someone posts some new airport updates! Regarding the altitude query I changed the altimeter setting from USA to metric(altimeter in feet)since the controller was quoting millibars and was flying autopilot and level at 12000ft as assigned. I had set the altimeter before taking off. Under similar circumstances FS9atc didn't seem to worry about small changes in airpressure with resulting incorrect altimeter readings. Does rcv4 more closely reflect reality?

i don't know what your transition altitude or transition level was. if you were cleared to FL120, then you should have 29.92 or 1013 (i think that is the equivalent". if you were cleared to 12000, then your altimeter should reflect the local pressure.it would take a significant pressure change to result in a altitude watchdog going off. highly unlikely.jd

johnd,<>RC does not use that setting. If you're flying in FAA airspace you'll get inches - non-FAA you'll get millibars.The key question is ... where you ordered to 12000 feet or Flight Level 120?Cheers,
