The latest.

Hello! I know this post is a view months old but, any solution found? UPDATE... I think I found a solution. Don't switch frequencies when asked. Wait a few minutes (5 or so) then try switching. This worked for me on my last flight. Try it!

Hello! I just wanted to express my personal praise for MCE. Although I have been a "bit" frustrated with getting the program setup, now that it is, I find it to be an excellent product. The only thing MCE needs now is a pilot who knows how to give it correct commands... and that's on me. Having MCE translate my voice responses to RC4 is a fantastic thing. I have used VocATC for quite a few years, and although it is a good product, I am happier with MCE/RC4. I just wish RC4 would give me a bit more time to respond!!! Thanks MCE and Thanks RC4! Murray

UPDATE: I just now got it to work... by NOT following the MCE guide! I started FSX, "then" MCE. Once that was working, I started RC4. I then clicked on the ATC tab in MCE and it asked me for the path to RC4... it popped that window up a few time, and finally accepted the path! I just spent 3 hours to get this to work. Hope this helps the next guy! Murray

Hello! I searched but did not find a similar issue. I followed the MCE manual which tells you (sort of) how to connect MCE (latest version) to RC4 (latest version "4.3"). I changed 2 lines in the mce.ini (see them below)... ...Roaming \ Multi Crew Experience \ mce.ini UseRadarContact=1 <----- I changed this to 1 (0ne) from 0 (zero) IgnoreRC4Registry=1 <------- I changed this to 1 because (as you all know) when you upgrade to RC4.3, you copy, then rename the copied folder to something else (RC4X in my case). Anyway, RC4X is located at "C:\RC4X. When I start FSX, then RC4, then MCE (as suggested), MCE starts it's splash screen and then, after a bit, minimizes itself to the taskbar. When I double click it to bring up the Control Panel, it is in "Dialog Mode". I click the ATC tab and the "Where is RC4 message" pops up. I point it to the correct path for "rcv4.exe" and I then see the section at the bottom of the ATC tab that says that RC4 is active. But... MCE does not work. If I move to any other tab, and them come back to the ATC tab, it again asks me for the path to RC4... and still it does not work... stuck in Dialog Mode only. I try to close/exit MCE's Control Panel, it again asks me for the path to RC4. I have tried to directly type the path to "RC4X" in the mce.ini file... but, no joy! I have set FSX, RC4, and MCE in "administration mode" thinking that MCE was being prevented from saving the RC4 path in mce.ini. I have completely shut down all my security software... ESET NOD32 and Windows Firewall.... no joy! I hope someone can give me some advice. Thanks! Murray

Thanks for the quick response. All is fine now! Murray

UPDATE 2: Got rid of the chatter!

UPDATE: I found the spot to configure my PTT button under the ATC tab in the main Control Panel. Still not sure why the App Wizard stops when it gets to the spot mentioned below. Hello! I just bought MCE last night and got the key this morning. I played with the demo and found it to be interesting so, I bought it. Today, I have spent about 6 hours trying, in vane, to get even the "simple" IFR flight to work properly. Too much chatter form "Trav" and too many interruptions from "that female voice" in the background. Anyway, for some reason, my "PTT" button is not working (the one I chose in the APP Wizard). When I try to run APP Wizard, it seems to have trouble when it gest to the "Choose sound device" screen. I have a Logitech USB headset and when I choose that, the wizard goes no farther... it simply disappears. If I try to run it again, it disappears in the same spot. I have tried to "Restore to Factory Settings" and then restart the "APP Wizard" but it disappears just after I choose the Logitech USB Headset (for the speaker output). I went even farther and uninstalled and reinstalled the main MCE program from scratch with the same result. So, can anyone suggest how I can get the App Wizard to run through all the sections so I can have my Joystick Button 1 be my PTT button. Also, how do I "turn off" that female voice in the background... permanently if possible! OH BTW, I have used VoxATC for years, so I am aware of the "slight" pitfalls of using a voice activated system to communicate with/to my computer. In other words, I don't expect perfection from any program that relies on "voice recognition". Just want it to work reasonable well since I have invested (like all of you) quite a bit of money. Thanks in advance! Murray

"ATLANTIC AIR GROUP" is a new (as if 06 March 2013) virtual company that represents a cooperative of several real world airlines that operate in North America and abroad. When you register with us as a virtual pilot, you choose the airline (and corresponding HUB) you want to fly for. At "present", those airlines are "Provincial", "Air Labrador ", "Porter", "WestJet", and "Air Canada". You will have the choice to fly short, medium, or long range flights using a variety of aircraft. You will also have the choice to switch airlines periodically if you wish. We offer both scheduled and charter flights. The scheduled flight system follows "real world" operations, while the charter system is available for you to create/choose your own flights. In addition, we offer Tours and Events. It's all about choice here at Atlantic Air Group. The atmosphere at "AAG" is relaxed and fun. We provide the platform, you decide how you want to use it. Fly online or offline at a level of "realism" that YOU want. We do not dictate how you fly or where. It's all up to you!

Hi! I get the same in FlyTampa Montreal. They state that Monteal is NOT DX10 certified though. Maybe I'll put on my best suit and tie and pay a visit to the forum and ask nicely for a DX10 fix! FYI, I am using the newest shader patch.

I've always thought of myself as "up-on-things" when it comes to flight simming, but I have to admit that I had NO idea that anyone was using FSX in DX10 mode. Well, I do now... and I am one of them (as of about 10 minutes ago!!!) LOL! I followed Paul's guide and I can't believe how good FSX looks now... and more importantly, how WELL it runs. I have all the ORBX stuff, REX, GEX, UTX, FSDT CYVR... etc. I loaded the PMDG NGX, ORBX NA, and FSDT CYVR and sat there with the NGX completely configured. I could not believe my eyes as the FPS hovered between 25 and 30. AS I taxied, took-off, and flew, there were no stutters, slowdowns, flashes... nothing. Just "near fluid" movement! BTW, I bought Addon Converter X and it did a GREAT job (as far as I can tell so far). For one, my Flight1 ATR looks as it should now. Thanks guys! Murray

You guys are so bad... how do you live with yourselves? :Straight Face:

How much would you pay for that DLC addition to the Stearman (to add the crop dusting equipment) And what about the "insecticide clouds"... ya gotta have those? Wait, we'll need some bugs to kill as well!Just having some fun! Your idea is a good one!

Lets fuel rumors...Lets not!

Not that I can "notice", no. Your assumption is correct... in my case at least.But, I prefer the "look" of full screen across 3 monitors. Also, it's a much more "realistic feel" when landing and takeing off... and easier cause you have a wider FOV.

I thought I'ld chime in now that there are lots of opinions I can attack!... Just kidding! LOL!FPS... please don't try and compare FSX and Flight in this regard. In FSX, if you turn "everything" off to match Flight (i.e. no AI (cars, boats, planes)... no airport vehicles (moving or static) you see a similar FPS rate. And don't forget that FSX does not use your GPU effectively... nor does it "effectively" take advantage of multiple CPU cores. Flight is supposed to... if it does... why do I still get...Autogen Popups... I still see them, even with my machine specs (check my sig)and why do I still get...Stutters... if I go to "highest" settings, I get them occassionally.Toe Brakes... why don't they work?Trim settings... why do I have to set the sensitivity manually?Control settings... same question as in Trim Settings???Lighting at night... why are so many saying they see "tree, mountains, ground textures, etc." at night?Did I forget anything... "please fill in the blanks ____________________________"What do you think will happen to Flight, when (if) they attempt to add the "stuff" that FSX has now (mentioned above). Do you think it will run "better"? How could it?BTW, I am having a "BALL" playing with flight. Really... partly because I don't spend time comparing it to something that is "completely different". Yes, I know they are similar... but humans and monkeys are even MORE similar... I doubt this thread would exist if someone was trying to compare "us" to "them" though! Do you?Now... stop all this comparison stuff and go have some FUN! See you online (TheSnakeBite58)...I'll be the one flying! LOL!

There does not "appear" to be a way to have it maximize to your monitor size (in windowed mode). The window appears to resize itself, even when you try to "pull" it to fit your monitor.All that to say, "no, I dont think so", to your question!

Hi! You can't get back into the aircraft... ever!I'm just kidding... leave the session, go to the hanger, pick the plane you want, then go to a field or start in the air. There may be another way but that's what I do.

For me too! Zzzzzzz.... Zzzzzzz... Zzzzzzz

I'll say to you all what I used to say to my daughter (when she would begin to act up at bedtime), "Don't make me come up there!" LOL! Be good!!!

Make sure you hold the brake (x) then set your trim to up, hit "E" then, release the break. I did this with the RV and it took off, did some porposing, then started to perform tighter and tighter turns around the airport! LOL!

Did you know that if you hit "E" just as you go full throttle, the plane will continue down the runway without you?

No "mouse" flying for me my friend. I'm a Yoke and Rudder man all the way! <wink> I was refering to flying "close" to someone, trying to text (hands off yoke) and not hit them.

As I posted in the other "similar" post... I want a Beaver and a Twotter (Twin Otter). Both with Regular/Tundra tires, Skies, and Floats. I want both to have a GPS (even a small hand held would be fine) and a "basic" AP (auto pilot). Oh, and I want them to have a "visible" representation of a co-pilot (preferably female - sorry, I like women - sue me!) :Kiss: And, it would be GREAT if the co-pilot could take over the controls for when I need a "pee" break on long trips!

The only thing to do right now is to attempt to form a flying "group/club" and make the sessions private (as you mentioned).Kids, of all ages, will be kids. It's fun for some of them to crash a plane into another one. There's not much you can do about it in an open session, except "report" the little (or big) darlings.To be honest, I attempted to fly "close" to another player a few times. I wasn't trying to hit them though, I just wanted to let him/her know I was there. Its hard to "text" and fly at the same time! LOL!
