Hi Bryan,I continued playing around with the settings as I already had the HS box unchecked. Eventually I decided to try checking that box and voila, the first officer's voice came through crystal clear :)I have to give you massive kudos for this product series as it's added a HUGE leap in immersion for me. Wonderful job!

Hi Bryan,This may be a completely stupid question but I'm completely out of ideas with regards to a minor issue.Everything works as intended during flight preparation and flying except I can't hear the FO talk. He seems to be performing all of my requested actions during the checklist process but I can't hear him reading it back. I have no issues hearing ground crew or flight attendants and the volume is set all the way to the top on the configuration panel.I have tried to re-install both the level-d and fs2crew without avail, everything installed and executed as admin.Any thoughts?LOVE your software by the way!Sincerely,Sverre A Nordheim

Snapped a couple of pictures of my new iFly 737-800 repaint while at the gate in Portland, OR this afternoon.

I ended up buying a registered version of FSUIPC and it solved my problems. As a matter of fact it made the whole thing look a lot more realistic in that the visibility tab in FSUIPC allows you to modify the visibility distance and it adds a much better feel overall. The built in visibility adjustments in FS9 doesn't do a good job but the power of FSUIPC did.I just started playing with it so I will do some more tweaking.Here are my visibility tab settings:Clear 3200Cloudy 3000Overcast 2000Rainy 1000So I used the ever faithful map option and brought my Cessna to 35000 feet and this is what I see now :)

I set the plane at 30000 feet on this one. Obviously I don't fly that high with a Cessna so I don't see this unless I fly a passenger Jet over the water. This doesn't seem to be an issue inlands.I'm starting to think it's something I will have to live with. It actually gets worse if I turn off the extended textures.

I have set visibility distance to 60 miles and have extended textures enabled. However, I have played with visibility distance as well as activating/deactivating the extended textures.

Just recently I started experiencing some odd things with the water in my FS2004 installation. This picture shows Zinertek Ultimate Water Advanced and you can see how strange the textures are at distance. Looks great right below the plane. I've tried different water textures to no avail and I've tried to mess with the radius in the fs9.cfg settings.I tried a completely fresh install tonight and the same happened. All I have installed is Ultimate Terrain and GE Pro.Anyone experienced the same? Did you find a fix? It's just very annoying.Forgot to mention that I DO install everything as administrator. I'm quite experienced with the flight sim but I'm out of ideas.

The Nick N. trick did the job and fixed the issue for me. The tutorial flight from London Heathrow to Zurich went butter smooth with no issues after modifying the fs9.exe file to operate >2GB. Wohoo, the MD-11 is a very sweet plane. I also experienced some off things with the FMC as a part of the memory issue which was also resolved with the fix.Thanks for the help Gary A!!Flyboyandre

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the tool Nick mentioned and it may have done something. I will post back when I figure it out.

Believe me, you would have to look far to find someone more anal retentive than me. It's frustrating the heck out of me at this point.

Well, I just got the MD-11 a few days ago and I've never had an OOM on my FS2004 or FSX before. My system is running Vista Home Premium 64bit and 12GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 Ram and I got an OOM as I was entering the descent profile for the EGLL-LSZH tutorial.This aircraft is a true beauty but I have to wonder why I get my first ever OOM message about an hour into a very short tutorial flight.Yes, I do have a lot of add-ons installed on my FS2004 but like I said, it's been rock solid since day one until I took the MD-11 into the sky. It almost made me cry.
