You are very close. Quote from a previous messageEnding the first flight... Disable VOXATC... Load new flight (Flights -> Flight Planner -> Load)... Allow FS to move my plane to start airport ... "STOP HERE see below" Once there, I'm activating VOXATC but VOXATC thinks I'm still in my old flight, even tough GPS and Nav Log show the new flight...From the main menu go to Flights | saveenter a new flight name click saveNow Flights | Load load the flight you just saved. Hope that makes sense.Harald

I did get VoxAtc working in Windows 7, what I had to do is set the installer to XPSP2 compatability mode. Once I did that everthing installed and it works well. I didn't find the voice recongnition section int control panel until I selected "show all"Hope that works for youHarald

Ken,I can put together a Word document with a more detailed explanation and pictures for editing the XML file . It's hard to explain here in the forums. Just a note the menu only appears in 2D cockpit when you open FS. To make it appear in virtual cockpit you need to open it manually. Harald

Ken,I'm not sure if this is supported but what I did was add an entry in the AircraftDesignation.xml for a plane that wasn't recognized by VoxAtc. I just copied one of the "AircraftType" sections and modified it so the program would recognize my plane. Besure to make a backup before making changes. A little bit of XML editing is required so be cautious. The file is located under C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataInternal WorkingsVoxATC X. Hope this helpsHarald

Luis,Thank you for the quick responseHarald

Does anyone know a way the change the QMID grid color in SBuilder X.The current dark green color is very hard to see over photo scenery, I would like to change it to yellow. ThanksHarald

I seem to have started getting FATAL ERRORs during any flight I do since I installed SP 2. Anyone else having this type of issue? It doesn't matter where I fly to or from. Restarting VOXATC works fine but I loose my STAR setup.ThanksHarald

Mark,I tried a flight from Denver with SIDs and Stars unfortunatly I had 3 FATAL errors along the way and had to restart, but VOX didn't pick up the STAR when I finally got to Las Vegas. I did not get any repeated messages or loops. The fatal errors may have had something to do with. Probably not much help but I tried. Harald

Bruce,Thanks for your response, but it seems to me if you're going to use ATC that altitude assignments would be part of the experience. Don't get me wrong I'm not being critical of the program I think it's great and adds another level of realism. I just finished a flight into Chicago with procedures and the program brought me in nicely to 32L. I didn't have to go 50 miles out of my way like the MS ATC does. Harald

Bruce,Thanks for that. I tried your method with a little twist, since I don't use a default flight I loaded the the same flight twice and that seemed to do the trick. However like Zane said it should work on the first load. I do have a question for you though do you ever get your cruise altitude when using a SID? I flew the default SID/STAR flight and was never given my cruise altitude. Based on some of the travling I've done mostly on United where you can listen to the real ATC, altitude was always assigned. In other words cross intersection blah blah at FLxxx.RegardsHarald

I tried to set this up the way you suggested and could not get it to work either. I think the problem may be that FSX and FSUIPC are seeing the 2 left buttons on the throttle as 14 and 15 but the Saitek yoke sees them as 15 and 16. Button 14 is on the front of the yoke and is used for timer reset. So something is wacked. Unfortunately I don't have time tonight to mess with it anymore. Forgot to mention I have the same yoke and throttle and love the setup. If I find anything I will post it.Harald

Well I installed version 5.32 and it did not work for me either, I would agree that an MS patch could be the culprit. I will wait for an update from you and thanks again for looking at this.HaraldEDIT:I also tried 3 different versions of FSUIPC and it didn't make a difference.

Thanks ZaneJust so you know I do not have acceleration installed but I do have all the latest MS patches. I have a download of a version from around June I will try that just to test my system to make sure it works.Harald

Well I tried an uninstall and then a complete uninstall including ATT voices and still no joy. Discovered I can't run it unregistered once you register the progrom. Harald

Zane,Thanks for testing that. I will also try and remove my program and test with out doing the registration to see if it makes any difference. Will post back with the results.Harald

Thanks for that Zane,>>You have to specify a SID or STAR and you can use the VoxATC>SID/STAR wizard to do this to an already saved flight with>flightplan. If you haven't input this information the program>will go to default mode and give you vectors to intercept the>first point on your flightplan and will name that point>correctly. But I'm using the default SID/STAR flight and I did go through the setup wizard and it still used the default mode. Any ideas?Upon reaching that first point your usual command>is to contact center.

Is that correct?Harald

I resently purchased the DVD version of the program and am very happy with it so far, however I am seeing some differences from the demo version I did a few months ago.1.) When flying the IFR plan with SIDs and STARS there is no mention of either the SID or the STAR. When I flew the demo the program would tell me to fly " STAR name here". Is this the correct behaviour? When flying that plan it did not follow the STAR procedures. BTW the procedures are setup correctly and are in the userproc folder.2.) According the instructions you should receive your filed altitude prior to getting to the STJ intersection (when flying the same plan as above). I never get a change of altitude anywhere along the route. If I reset VOX Atc it immediatly tells me to respond with "climbing to FL200". Hmmm. Is this normal? I thought I had read on this forum the the program would give you step climb to your filed altitude.How I installed the program.Installed from the DVD first which installed the ATT voices and the program. Removed the program through Add/remove programs. Downloaded and installed the latest version from the web. Which brings to mind another question how can you tell which version you are using?Any help would be appreciatedThanksHarald

I have an 8800 GTX as well and do not have that problem. I'm using 97.92 driversHarald

Miquel,Make sure you have your export directories set correctly. Click on the options folder items on the left side of the main screen this will show your export directories. Also make sure to select the check box for PMDG 737NG under "export to" which is on the settings tab at the bottom. Hope this makes sense. Don't forget to save settings and then restart FS Build.Harald

Thanks for the info.Harald

I am considering purchasing the 737 and was wondering if I can purchase it using a different computer than it will be running on.The reason I ask is I have a 56K connection at home and high speed at the office. Is this possible?ThanksHarald Krause

There is a file here in the library that removes static 3D objects.The file is remover10.zip. It should do what you want.Hope this helps

>Help! Help! Ive fallen and I can't find my beer!>Jim,That happens to me too especially when I design scenery.:-lol Just kidding. That is a known issue with that scenery version. Since MS moved the airport to the west the exclude file for concourse "B" deletes all the tarmacs. Unfortunatetly I won't be updating that version since I am creating a brand new all GMAX version which is nearing completion and has much more detail. The next version will be available sometime after AFCAD is released in October.RegardsHarald
