Is there any simple button method to pan left and right? PFC software (by Pete Dowson) can be set to do this in Precision Flight Controls equipment, but I don't know what button press code he uses. I use X-Keys to set up multiples for one press easy control.

To seperate cockpit and ATC sound, you need two sound cards.

That certainly looks interesting, and the free trial has to be taken up. But, I wonder if it is truly an interactive replacement for Vox ATC. Is it activated by one's own voice?

Hi mdavenport I don't know why I read this thread - it must have rung a bell. I honestly don't remember the outcome of my link with Andy. If you look me up you'll see I'm 82 and the memory is not what it was. However, I'm still with it and deeply into B737 using Jetmax. If I can, I will gladly help. How are you simulating? What software? What graphics card(s)? How many screens? What are you trying to achieve? Frank

Hi Rex I don't run the Fokker either, but have you thought to seek help on the dedicated forum www.simforums.com Frank

Great spot, Patrick. When FSX-SE installs the Effects slider defaults to High. I was puzzled by the absence of a wake when flying the Grumman seaplane. Your suggested move to Medium cured the problem immediately. Many thanks Frank

Make sure you have the latest graphics driver.

Well I just stuck my toe in. UK Scenery's London City has installed without any apparent problem. So I've joined those thousands. There'll be a few more licks on the lollipop methinks! Maybe it's this computer, which has never tasted FS before, but Stream certainly seems to flow smoother and steadier without tweaking, and FSX performs better than I have seen before. All sliders are maxxed too. Frank

Kevin If you don't suck the lollipop you never get the taste. Many old simmers (like me) run more than 1 computer - I have 3, all high end. Oh! and an iPad. My serious simming is done on two dedicated computers upstairs. The one I am using now is in my downstairs study (English for office). It has masses of spare space so I thought I would try the Steam thing. What's $5???? (I do also support Avsim by donation). Through the Steam library, I have discovered that I also have Aerofly (damn these aging grey cells!), so I am downloading that to give it another suck. I later found it gathering electronic dust on 1 of the dedicated machines. Frank

Has anyone tried to install any of their existing addons onto FSX Steam?

Hi Joe The button press has always been the same for me, whichever button I set it to. It's not press, like most instructions. It's press and hold whilst speaking. Frank

I did and it does. I will install the UK version from the DVD.

Having stirred a little hornet's nest here, I feel I should add what I hope is clarification. I purchased version 5 of VoxATC UK & Vox ATC X plus 4 x 16 bit voices in August 2008 from RC Simulations. I have just found the DVD :rolleyes:. It contains: VoxATC X; VoxATC UK; 16 bit UK voices and 16 bit US voices. In December 2010 I purchased the update to Version 6 from VoxATC. Along the way I also purchased 4 Cepstral voices. It seems that when I recently upgraded my PC I should have installed the DVD first, and then upgraded by downloading the latest version - 6.49, and using the appropriate registration codes. Frank

Sorry - it was on RC Simulations website. I bought my original VoxATC software from them. Confusion reigns!!! Just wait till you're my age! Frank

Thanks Dave, I asked because of some wording on the VoxATC webpage re version 6. I'm not usually that confused. Must be my age! Frank
