It's ok, mate. I didn't swap over to English (US) and had it on English (UK). Now it works, but spasmodically. I can get the Clearance delivery and after some prodding, I can get Tower, but no amount of prodding will get a departure recognition. I have tried, "Say Altitude" and get a reply, but no interaction. Maybe, I'm just not doing my call signs properly. I'll persevere, as I think this ATC proggy has the most potential, of all those on the market currently, hope the developer doesn't get sick.....whoops! Frank

Hi Dave. I bought this program today and have been trying my best to get it operational all afternoon. I set up my speech recognition, did the Microsoft tutorial and then went and set up a flight in P3D. When I punch in clearance delivery, I get nothing. My speech doesn't come up in the window, but if I do a test, it says that I have the right frequency. I've also tried the big question mark and again when I hit practice, nothing comes up. I downloaded the manual and the only thing I can figure out is, when the program starts and I hit connect, I get "Simulator Connected" and "Recognition Engine Installed:, but I do not get the grammar setting coming up. Do I have a problem in my windows set-up, maybe? I do like the look of this program and hope that I can get a handle on it. Frank

I've also found this on some of the Australian airports. I've done the magnetic declination fix and whenever I try and do an ILS27 approach into Melbourne, Australia, my FMC is out by 2 or 3 degrees and thus I misalign with the runway. It's not constant, as I can think of only a few others (most recently Hobart, Tasmania), but it is often enough to cause concern. Thanx for the thread, guys, I'm going to keep coming back here occasionally to see if you guys come up with a fix, Frank Cooper

I use 3 programs for simming a lot. Firstly, if I have documents or charts or whatever, I usually print screen them, open up photoshop and then adjust the size, etc. After that, I save them out as pdf documents and then save them to my dropbox. Open up dropbox on the ipad and Voila! I also use OzRunways (because I predominantly fly the Australian and New Zealand routes with my NGX) and it has dropbox integration now, so I have a beautiful moving map, all the info and dropbox as well for my charts, etc. This system, together with PFPX will have me in heaven.......or close enough! Frank Cooper

Howard, this is not just a flight planner. It's about as good as it gets for simulation. And come on guys, cut them some slack. If you have followed the progress you'll see that they had to wait for incorporation of Navigraph and all sorts of needed input. I don't even know the developer, but from all of the stuff I've seen on it, it is going to be a very usefull program, especially for airline use. Frank Cooper

The PFPX home page says it will be available mid to Late August. At last, an end date. For those that don't know what PFPX is, find out, it's going to be one of the best add-ons for any airliner, but especially the NGX!!!! Frank Cooper

They are going from 8 inch screens to 12 inch screens and higher resolutions. Good move. It's very subtley different. Probabaly take a minimum of training from the NG, Frank

It's a fine product, Bryan. I bought it soon after release, had a few glitchy probs setiting it up and am just coming to terms with it now. Am downloading the update file and will no doubt enjoy the heck out of it. good work, mate, Frank Cooper

It could also be from magnetic declination. My old mate, Iain from Flaps 2 Approach has a wonderful explanation of it and how to fix it in FS9 and FSX. Here's his URL: http://www.flaps2approach.com/ Frank Cooper

You don't need to go to Win 8 to use the touch screen app for your FMC, etc. It works just as well with Win 7. I personally will be sticking with Win 7 for all of my FSX computers. I went over to Win 8 last year when it first came out (on my two htpc's) and had abunch of update problems (which Microsoft acknowledged). I don't like the interface and much prefer my Win 7. I keep using Win 8, so I get used to it, but I'll be kicking and scratching before I change over my FSX rigs. Frank Cooper

Could it be that service based failures are kicking in? Maybe your right engine is due or soon due for overhaul or just not producing enough thrust, so the assymetric thrust is kicking in to compensate. I just recently explored the built-in service based failure system that runs in the background. Boy those guys at PMDG have done some great work on the base aircraft. Frank Cooper

I watched it from start to finish, what an awesome vid! Music was outstanding and some of the footage was gold. Nice find, my friend, Frank Cooper

Thanx Nico. My sim is in pieces at the moment anyway, but it would help to have that piece of the puzzle sorted in advance, Frank Cooper

Hi mate. I notice you have the OC start panel there. Do you have this working with ProSim and SIOC? If so, would you mind sharing your SIOC script. I haven't finished hooking mine up yet, but you could save me some time. Thanx, Frank Cooper
