Thank you for the info Pierre

Hi, Quick question, anyone knows where the profile are store in the sim. I have created a few profiles for all my controllers and I would like to backup them. I red that some SU are deleting them. Thanks Pierre

Hi, I am looking at buying this plane and I just want to know if it’s working well in P3D v5.3? Pierre

Thanks everyone, I am now questioning if I will get as many benefits for my money. I now understand that P3D or MSFS2020 will not leverage the extra memory. With P3D v5.3 and my GTX 1080, i have a steady 35 FPS with no stuttering. Maybe a lower card like then RTX3080 or 70 with at less 10 gigs will give as much benefits than an RTX 3090. If I decide to upgrade, I will also upgrade my PSU to 1000 watts. Thanks for all the advice. Pierre

Hi, I want to upgrade my video card GTX1080 TI to an RTX3090, does the new card needs more power? I currently have 750 watts. Pierre Nantel

Thanks Very interesting post. Pierre

Hi, with the new version of P3D 5.3, there is a new section for Job Scheduling [JobScheduler] AffinityMask=1023 P3DCoreAffinityMask=1023 MainThreadScheduler=0 RenderThreadScheduler=2 FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=4 I have a 10 core cpu running Hyperthreading. According to the Affinity Mask Calculator - 32 Core Edition my AffinityMask should be: Affinity Mask [ Binary = 11111111111111111100 ] and I should change the AffinityMask to: [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=1048572 should I also change the P3DCoreAffinityMask? Pierre

Hi, I am using a Precision Flight Control (Cirrus II serial console) with x-plane 11. I have a weird problem with the Fuel selector in the Cessna 172. When I load the aircraft, the fuel selector goes on the right tanks. The fuel selector on my Cirrus II doesn’t seem to be configure, so I use the mouse to move it. When I do, it's like the selector arm is spring loaded and always return to the right tanks. I notice that X-Plane also load an aircraft plugin XLua 1.0.0r1 and when I disable the plugin, the selector goes to both tanks but neither the mouse or my fuel selector on the cirrus II can move the selector to the right or left, also the fuel shutoff doesn't work anymore and the fuel indicators shows empty tanks. Looks like that plugin controls all switch and gauges related to fuel. If I disable my Cirrus II console in the PFC Hardware, the fuel selector works fine with the mouse, but my console doesn’t work anymore. There is obviously a conflict between the Cirrus II configuration and the XLua plugin. When they are both enabled, they both seem to take control of the fuel selector arm, and my Cirrus II seem to be the one sending a command that keeps the arm in the right position. Does anybody using a old PFC Cirrus II (serial) ever had that issue? Pierre Nantel

Hi, I would like to know how can I get the co-pilot to report my position when in Oceanic control. The co-pilot does the first SelCal communication, but he doesn't report position after cross each oceanic waypoint. Also my comprehension is that I have to leave PF3 co-pilot mode at setting 0 , and when I tell my co-pilot "you have the radio" MCE will internally set PF3 to co-pilot mode 2. I sometime experience delayed handback to domestic control after oceanic sector , PF3 support tells me to set Co-Pilot mode to 2. Would MCE work if I set Co-pilot to 2? Pierre Nantel

Hi, That was the issue, it seems that MCE is using ctrl+shft+f12 when it load's. I change the key combination ctrl+shft+f12 to ctrl+shft+f2 in UTLive2 (command to increase the IA traffic) and bingo I do not get the UTL message when MCE load. Now I am getting one greeting from one ground coordinator. Thanks for the support Pierre

I asked, on the UTLive 2 forum, what will trigger this message and they answer this: "I am guessing that when you load MultiCrew you might be using a key combination ctrl+shft+12 or similar? This is also a short cut for UTL settings within the sim. See if you can configure MultiCrew to use a different shortcut." are you using a key combination to load MCE? Pierre

I just email you at support@multicrewxp.com I also notice that I only get this message when I load MCE, so it seems that the message is triggered by MCE. Thanks for your help Pierre

Yes no problem, is there an email I can use to send you the screen capture? Pierre

I think we nailed it, If i disable Utlive2 everything works find, now I just need to understand how much time do I have to wait. This is good new’s, I have been working in this for a few months. thanks Pierre

Hi Gerald, Could it be that some times UTLive 2 issues a window showing the traffic density will MCE is loading? Pierre

Hi my problem is back, Not sure why, but when I call the crew using the addons menu in P3D 5.1. MCE load and I can see at the top left in red, that it is cycling between " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" to "ready to go" then I received the first greeting. Then MCE goes back to " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" then too "ready to go" where I would received the second greeting, with a different coordinator name. I did some test and it is not related to: -a specific aircraft, I have the problem with the Airbus Aerosoft 330 and 319 and the PMDG 747-8 - It is not related to one specific airport, I get it at different airport in the world - I have installed and un-installed many time, same result - I am using PF3 but it does it without using it. I am running version 2.9.0 Is there a log that I can use to see why MCE is loading more then once in P3D? Thanks Pierre

Hi Gerald, Not sure why, but the problem was that when I was calling for the crew in P3D, MCE was loading more then once. I could see at the top left in red, that it was cycling between " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" to "ready to go" then I received the first greeting. Then MCE will cycle back to " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" then to "ready to go" where I would received the second greeting. with a different name. I have decided to uninstall and delete all MCE folders that remained and do a clean re-install. It seem to have solved the issue I had, I am running 2.8.9.7 Thanks Pierre

When it is loading in P3D it's show 2.8.97 Pierre

Sorry for the delay, I loaded the patch as per instruction, but I am still getting two greeting Lee then Simon. I have tried with PMDG 747-8i and Airbus 330 at gate 63 (CYUL) Pierre

Hi, Is there a way to get the FO to handle the communication when in Oceanic Control. Can I get the FO to make a position each time the plane reach a waypoint. A SELCAL call? Pierre

Hi I was able to sort out my problem, everything is working find Pierre

With MCE you can configure PTT two ways. By using the <del> or <end> keys or by assigning a buttons on your joystick. I am using a yoke (cirrus II) when I fly airplane with yoke, like Boeing 747 so using FSUIPC6 I assign a yoke button to the send a <end> key. When I fly Airbus plane I use my joystick where I have button 4 assign to PTT. The joystick works perfectly and can communicate with PF3-ATC with no problem, but with the yoke button it is very flaky. Sometime it works and other time it doesn't . When I start MCE i make sure I have only one option check. My first question is: In MCE can I have both options for PTT check at the same time? If not : Can I flip between them without have to restart MCE? Is there a log file where I can see if MCE, when I use yoke button (the <end> keys) is really sending the keystroke to PF3. When using the joystick, what is sent to PF3? In the MCE.cfg file I did found the Joystick assignment: [GAMEPAD] JoyManID=T.16000M JoyProdID=T.16000M JoyButton=4 UseWithVoxATC=0 and the PF3 setup [ATC] Mode=PFE PreventNativeATCCancellation=0 UseRadioNoise=1 StaticNoiseLevel=2 SecondaryNeedAtcWindow=0 atc1=0 atc2=0 atc3=1 atc4=1 atc5=0 UseRadarContact=0 IgnoreRC4Registry=0 //(Set this to 1 when RC4 isn't installed on the same machine as MCE) RC4path= IgnorePFERegistry=0 //(Set this to 1 when PFE isn't installed on the same machine as MCE) PFEpath= IgnoreFlightPlan=0 FlightPlansPath= Both I do not see any reference to the use of the <del> or <end> keys option.

Ok I just rebuild my pc and re-intalled P3D- MCE- PF3 and I am getting the same thing. One greeting fromLee and a second one from Simon. I am park at CYUL Montreal. I did a test at KMEM and everything is ok, I was greet by Brian Pierre

So when I start a new flight (CYUL to LFPG) it is normal that when loading the flight in P3D 5.1 I am first greet by Lee and then by Simon. I get both at the departure airport. Pierre

Hi, Since I installed the newest version 2.8.9.4 I am receiving two greeting messages from ground coordinator. First I get Lee the I get Simon. Is this normal? Pierre
