I use the following every time and I would miss any one of them: PMDG NGX...it's all I fly anymore FS2Crew NGX EZDOK Ultimate Traffic 2 Radar Contact Active Sky Evolution FSUIPC registered plus LINDA to make my X52 pro work the way I want it to Ground Services X FS Commander Never used much graphic enhancements but I'm always tempted by airport add-ons more than the other stuff.

The download that I got from PMDG already was patched to 1C.

I did the same thing just a few days ago. I bought and installed the 600/700 expansion after having the 800/900 and FS2Crew working with no problems. I didn't get any errors with the PMDG installation but it did cause some problems. I started having problems with "are you sure about that" response to checklists and not being able to contact the ground crew, etc.Turning FS2C off/on did not help and neither did uninstalling and re-installing FS2C. I have not tried a complete uninstall of NGX and FS2C.What did work for me was loading the NGX in 2D mode, starting FS2C, then switching to the virtual cockpit. It works perfect every time.While the 2D mode is a small hassle, it's not too bad.

I recently bought the 600/700 expansion for the ngx and it installed with no problems. Now I'm getting the "you sure about that" problem which I never had before. So far I reinstalled SP1C to both 600/700 and 800/900 but that didn't solve it. I could wait for the FS2C SP or I may uninstall all ngx and FS2C and reinstall unless there is a better idea.Great add on, I'm sure I can get it going again.

Has anyone packaged them together in one zip file or does everyone just grab each airport individually?

Not sure how helpful my suggestion is but...I would run memory and hard drive tests. If they pass then I would do a format and reinstall of the whole system. If you don't know how to do these things then bring it to a pc service shop you trust. The alternative is trying to chase problems for possibly days or more. A format has all the other benefits of a fresh install also.If you don't have any of the original software disc's/keys then you may be out of luck. Formatting is something that you will have to do eventually, it's just a matter of when.Good luck.

I was getting the "flaps up" issue. The freq. change works for me. Easy fix until the patch. Thanks for the great add-on.

This would satisfy me also.

A small biz jet would be my preference but it's not a good fit until they expand beyond Hawaii.

I get this when I click on your link.The selected tutorial must be approved before you can perform this actionI would like to take a look at that as I'm sure I would use it. I believe that we use the same controller (x52 pro).EDIT: I found the info on your web site. Thanks!

Screen shots look great. I guess it's more Hawaii but I don't draw any sweeping conclusions from that. The news article about the challenges of making it fun is interesting though. While it would have been comforting to read something like "it's a hardcore sim for the hardestcore simmer", I am not surprised by the language they are using. Fiddle and fun game are words that could be used for FSX as well. There was this line also "Flight is a game that is designed for a wide range of players, not just a typical simulation enthusiast." It's a small bone but they threw it just the same.

I recently tried the 7 day demo and I agree with others in this thread. I really wanted to like VOX but it just didn't handle the AI traffic like I need it to. I've been using UT2 for a while now and it does traffic really well (that's its entire purpose after all). It was difficult to step down from that level of AI traffic. I had other minor glitches with VOX but I think I could have worked those out. So VOXATC was close to getting my money but at $75 US there just wasn't enough to justify it with the drawbacks. I will be keeping my eye on VOXATC though and I hope it improves so I can try again.

I am running the trial of VOXATC (fresh download from VOX site) and I am really close to buying it but I have a problem that is annoying. During flight ATC requests an AI plane to increase altitude, the AI plane responds. This request/response happens over and over until the plane reaches the requested altitude. This has happened in a few flights now. I have Ultimate Traffic 2 installed and did run the bridge tool. I think it is using the UT2 planes but I am still not sure if it is using all of them. I disabled UT2 completely so the UT2 service is not even running. Maybe this was a mistake? I read that disabling UT2 service was the way to go. Also, assuming I can get this issue solved, are there any online stores that sell VOXATC 6 registrations other then the developers site?

They have the scenery working well. My hopes for this release keep going up.

"We see a compelling social aspect to the experience inherent in the fun, and we need to better enable and support this dynamic to strengthen the entire Flight experience for everyone."I wonder if they are going to take a run at replacing the Vatsim experience. IF they have ambitions of having LOTS of pilots flying in a online environment, ATC seems like something they will need to address.Of course, that's a lot to assume from one news sentence, but the possibilities are interesting.

I was a long time hold out running fsx in full screen only until you asked why. After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a good reason.I am using the marshaller and I like it.Dave

I use the saitek profile software and have not had any problems. I program the x52 buttons to send what ever keyboard command fsx is configured to use.

Very old habits. Back in the early Windows days, running games in windowed mode would be a big hit on performance. I just did a flight in windowed mode and used the Marshaller. Everything works fine. Thanks for including it.Dave

Hello,I'm very happy with the j41 version so far. I have to spend more time with it before I am comfortably flying and not referencing manuals but it is a fun process.I am running fsx in full screen so I am not using the video marshaller. Are there any voice commands to acheive what the marshaller button presses do? I understand that I won't see the video. I've tried a variety of commands but I haven't hit on anything yet.Thanks,Dave

I am using Radar Contact and I also use Ultimate Traffic 2. They work well together. Radar Contact is much better then the default FSX ATC. I don't have any experience with other ATC add-ons so I can't comment on anything else but I've been happy with RC.

I took it to a low cost printing service. I noticed that they spent a minute or two figuring it out. When I got it home and looked through it, I thought they messed up the page order. Turns out that it is correct but I agree that it is confusing.Printing the operation manual was essential in my case though. I'm glad I did.Dave Ravencraft

The fix was easy and solved the problem.Thanks.

I found the pinned thread regarding the cfg file. I should be able to compare them and make the changed needed.I will contact you if I have any problems.Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on this.Dave

After reading my post, I'm not sure if I made it clear that the cursor continues to flicker throughout the rest of the flight.Thanks.

Hello,Since I updated to version 1.1, I have an odd side effect. Everything is normal until I click on the flaps gauge to bring up the fs2crew interface for the first time. As soon as I do, my cursor flickers from a normal pointer to a circle (equal to hourglass in older windows) and back. My frame rates drop a bit and I believe that my performance gets worse the longer my flight. Everything behaves normally otherwise with no problems with voice recognition or flight.Any ideas? I can't think of anything else that's changed but maybe I overlooked something. I'm hoping that this issue has come up in testing. I've tried uninstalling fs2crew and reinstalling. Unfortunately, I don't have version 1.0 anymore because I deleted it when I downloaded the newer version so I can't try that version again. There are no problems with the install or validation. Thanks for a great add-on and I'm looking forward to the JS41 version.Dave RavencraftFSX + AccelerationWindows 7 64 bit with all updates4 GB RAMIntel core2 duo @ 3.4 GHzLatest DirectXNvidia 8800 GTX driver version 191.07
