  1. I don't seem to have much luck using the Random Voice Setting. Do I need to remove all the individual controller voices in the list above this setting in order to have the random voices function? I have a selection of random voices configured but it still follows the voices I've set in the individual controller section. Ken.
  2. I too have had flights where ATC stop responding to me (last night in fact). I managed to resolve mine last night by using the SayIt function to contact the Center controller for me. Once I did that suddenly all my previous attempts at contact rattled down the text box and my audio comms was restored. Go figure?? 😏 Ken
  3. Ok the video above should be pinned at the top of this forum. It is a must for anyone using P2ATC. I spent $150AUD on 3 x Cereproc voices thinking they would add to the realism however although they sound great, the delay in response when they speak is so annoying as to make them useless in my opinion. I had 18 free voices sitting in my Win10 that I couldn't use after having installed different windows language packs. I was missing this key ingredient that is detailed in the video above. I now have a great range of male and female voices to add to the immersion. Ken.
  4. Chiming in a year later with the same bug (it appears). Love this ATC app however the random voices option seems to have some flaws. I use MS Dave as my copilot and have 6 or 8 other voices. I've selected all the other voices in the random voice selection excluding Dave however he continues to randomly appear as a controller along the way. I also get the same error as Phil reported above in that the random voice listed on the client for each new sector sometimes doesn't match with the voice heard, in fact it usually gets stuck on Dave until I manually switch away to another frequency then back again. Using the latest version v2.6.1.1_X64_R3 Ken.
  5. If you want to get VHF radio sounding voices using P2ATC and the standard MS voices I highly recommend watching THIS video. It's quite a convoluted setup using Voicemeeter Potato but once understood and setup it's set and forget. The ATC voices are tweaked using a free EQ app so they sound like the real in-aircraft radio voices. Using Voicemeeter also allows you to have far more control over audio sending X-Plane sounds to any output dynamically rather than having to shutdown and restart each time. Great for VR integration. Ken.
  6. You're an absolute legend Mark, great customer support. Your app brings P2ATC alive on a network. Ken.
  7. Hi Mark, Just tried your program and it works great but (there's always one!) I found that it doesn't work with joystick controllers that have buttons permanently pressed. I have a Honeycomb flight yoke and it uses some joystick buttons as switches, this means some buttons are always on eg. Avionics power switch is either button 13 pressed (OFF) or button 14 pressed (ON). I can successfully assign my desired PTT button (1) on the Honeycomb and on your application however it doesn't respond on the client (receiver) app. nor to P2ATC. If I use a joystick that doesn't have any buttons pressed by default such as my Warthog Joystick, it responds perfectly on the client and P2ATC. Is this a function that can be implemented in your app? Regards, Ken.
  8. Here is a video of the Mindstar GNS software running on a hardware module from Ruscool Electronics in New Zealand. While not that cheap it does provide a fine simulation of the Garmin unit with full hardware activation of all the Mindstar functions. The RNS530 (as Ruscool calls their module) uses a keyboard emulator of sorts built into the unit which sends keystrokes to the sim which is then interpreted by their custom application running in the sim and talking to FSUIPC. Needless to say both the hardware and software have corresponding config files which must match up to activate the functions as can be seen in the video. All works well on the bench, next is to install in the sim and fly! Of course before you ask, no the Mindstar software isn't compatible with Prepa3D v4 due to that being a 64bit application whereas the Mindstar is currently only 32bit.
  9. Just purchased MCE after some extensive testing and I must say I'm loving it. I also use RC4 for offline flying and although RC4 fails to respond quite often, I'm sure this is a foible of RC4 rather than MCE, I also suffer this on occasion using keyboard responses. Never the less having MCE as a co-pilot so I can run through flows and checklists is brilliant and being able to "talk" to RC4 seals the deal for me. I fly a single seat hardware home cockpit and am also a crew member for the Perth Worldflight team flying a full B737-800 where all flights are done with two crew so being able to practice CRM at home is a real boon, and the responses from MCE are exactly like that of our WF co-pilots when using the PMDG checklists. My question relates to operations when flying with hardware panels. What is the correct MCE setting if I want to have full checklist interaction but don't want him to operate any FS panel switches like landing lights etc? It seems he doesn't recognise when I flip a hardware switch, and I suspect his interactions actually interfere with the hardware selections. Thanks for a great program, Ken.
  10. Hi Gerald, Yes I have XPUIPC version 2.0.4.6 (the latest I think). I also tried deleting my XPUIPC and letting RC4toXplane install its version but that didn't change anything either. No manual entries in the cfg file, just the default file that comes with it. Not using EFASS. As also reported by others, it appears to work flawlessly in X-Plane-32bit, however thats not a fix in my opinion. Cheers, Ken.
  11. I'm getting the same intermittent errors reported by Sca1ey. Basically if I start XP and get these 3 errors I know it won't work: Failed to Create HK2 Failed to Create HK3 Failed to Create HK4 After these errors if I start RC4 from the plugin the top message is on a single line and garbled as if the plugin isn't enabled, which it is according to its menu. If I disable it then re-enable the plugin I get this message: "Important RC4 Message. RC4 has been stopped to ensure plugin is fully running. Please restart RC4 if required." Then the whole round starts again. I'm running XP10.45 - 64bit OS is Windows 10 - 64bit RC 4.3.3845 Apps are set to "Run as Administrator" Tried running in Win7 compatibility to no avail. As reported also by others this error is intermittent it seems, sometimes it loads ok and others it fails. Otherwise when the app works its great. Cheers, Ken.
  12. I've had this happen on several flights, first only upon accepting the performance uplink but tonight it crashed upon rejecting it as well. I've turned off the function in the CDU. Ken.
  13. I recently downloaded the latest TSS 777 GE soundset for FSX and find them to be extremely below par! They sound like they've replaced the engines with Volkswagen motors. Have a listen to the youtube demo and you'll hear what I mean. Instead of the characteristic whine as you power down the runway and takeoff you hear this grinding whir instead. Prior to this I've been using either the POSKY sounds but the absolute truest come from PMDG's 747X. If you have this aircraft point your sounds to its soundfile for your particular engine as they have all 3 then you'll hear some fantastic spool up and great takeoff immersion. I thought buying the TSS payware would be a sure thing but not to my ears, but then they were only $15. Perhaps some others have had better experience?Ken.
