Hi Samaritano, Sorry for the delay in responding. The short answer is not really. I downloaded a LUA script created by John Dowson here: MSFS & Altitude issue on STD barometer - FSUIPC7 MSFS - The simFlight Network Forums Using this as an example I created a LUA script based on John's which puts the plane's barometer setting into a weather offset for RCv4. It still reads 00.00 while on the ground, but after takeoff, if you do an altimeter check it will tell you what the plane's altimeter is. Put all below in text file and name it (whatever.lua) then run that automatically. ==== local spoofOffset = 0xC028 -- Current Pressure (2 bytes) -- Loop forever while true do -- Get value of Altimeter Setting Altimeter = ipc.readSW(0x0EC6) -- and write it via 0024 as overrides to those being read ipc.writeStruct(0x0024, "1UW", spoofOffset, "1UW", 2, "1SW", Altimeter) -- Sleep for 100 mSecs so the update gets done roughly 10 times per second ipc.sleep(100) end ======= Lastly, set RCv4 altitude deviation setting to 10000. GENERAL => Deviations Box => Altitude With this it's hit or miss, but you can fly some routes successfully. It usually becomes a problem if RCv4 thinks you've "Busted your crossing restriction". I just ignore it. The pilot still reads about 5000 above where you are. And it is very slow sometimes to work. RCv4 can't read the current weather because FSUIPC7 still can't read it from MSFS. I tried many times to spoof the Metar, but I can't get it to work. I've stopped trying to find a solution because Beyond ATC was supposed to be coming out soon. Hope that helps.

I recommend going with the P3dV4 version. Only that you'll end up paying for it again as P3dV4 expands. ( which I was pretty miffed that PMDG didn't offer some kind of discount to existing customers.) The NGX just flies better in the 64bit environment.

I'm running P3dV4 with UT LIVE, FSUIPC 5 With Server and Radar Contact Networked. It all works very well and Radar Contact talks to all the AI.

I know this is over year old... but I just converted to P3D v4 and found the same thing. After scoping it out.... The sound is tied to the AIRPORT VEHICLE DENSITY slider in the traffic menu. I've managed to lose the sound by setting the Airport Vehicle density to NONE. I am trying to find the offending .wav file to silence it and have some airport vehicles,

I've created a water runway in ADE, attached taxi points, parking etc. I then created an AI flight plan using the FSX Generic goose. From KLGB to L11 pebby beach (Avalon) My problem is that the goose will land, taxi and park just fine, but when it comes time to depart it just disappears. I've run the fault finder on ADE each time before I compile. And I do not get any errors compiling the Flight Plan. ie time issues or parking . Other things I've tried. Made sure there are starting points on the runway Lengthening the runway to 10,000 feet. makerwys I'm just lost as to why it will land and then not return. Thanks

A little update: You can find the scenery on my forum at www.jamesmelvin/tikiair Thanks

Guys, I do this for a living. and I'm telling you that I have every single one of these sounds in my sound effects library at work. Or. .if I don't, then I can easily create it. Also, don't believe everything you SEE on youtube. Those things can be created too.

I don't care if she's turning left or right. Any woman who shoots from a helicopter is #1 in my book.

Hello! I've completed the initial phase of development for my first new scenery and would like some testers for it before I upload it. It is KAVX -Catalina airport. I've built it in FSX. I have no idea is it will work in FS9. If you want to try? I have done photo scenery of the whole Island and dressed up AVALON a little. Also added custom Buildings. Here's some pics. Please PM me for download information. Thanks James Melvin

I was doing some custom designing on PMDY (Midway island) and totally messed up the stock .bgl of the island. it is APX00210.bgl in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X\scenery\0002\scenery folder Could someone toss it to me please. OR If there is a way to extract the file from the FSX disk without having to do a complete reinstall I would love to know how to do it. Thanks

Thanks! That pointed me in the right direction. It's now Aloha Air Cargo. (With a new Green/White paint scheme) It was just strange to see flightaware listing it as Aloha Airlines. BTW I found the AI paint for both Aloha Cargo and Air cargo in the file section too.

I was doing some AI flight plan creation and looking at flightaware. It lists two flights daily from PHKO to PHNL with Aloha Airlines as the carrier (737) http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAH45/history/20130717/0922Z/PHKO/PHNL I thought they went under in 2008, and did not find an article about their reemergence. Does anyone know? Thanks

Sorry... I hit post by mistake. You can delete

I can also vouch for the VirtualCDU app. I actually bought a samsung tablet (Android) to run it and I hope they develop more apps. It really helps. With the tablet I now run a host of things that are now off my main computer. LIVE/ATC for Chatter. Bluesky radio. FSX KNeeboard apps, And the CDU. I really think apps like this will open a whole new market for Flight Sim.

My recommendations for your price range: Yamaha YHT-597 5.1-Channel Network Home Theater System = $400 on Amazon all in one package.

If you're willing to wait.... I just ordered my Volair Sim Cockpit and since they are out of stock until May, I received 10% off my order. Which equates to $54.90 savings. Good deal if you're on the fence about getting one. More info here. http://shop.volairsim.com

Yes.. my bad should be PRCH9. Hopefully the AIRAC upgrade will help. Also, Jim, to ask another question. I've read you have flown out of KLAX. Do you not find the ATC instructions unrealistic with actual procedures? IE: "Contact tower when you are at holding point...." "Contact departure when airborne", And the Captain responding with "QNH"? I've listened to many hours of LIVE ATC at KLAX and the ops there seem to be drastically different.

Is there a way to ask for a different SID? As an example, I have made my flightplan for KLAX to KLAS via DAG and It continually assigns me the PRCH1 SID out of LAX instead of the normal LOOP6. I know you said the SID/STARS are weather based, but that's really only for runway assignment right?

Yes, it works that way too for Win 7. I guess I should have been clearer by saying that whenever RC is started it will go to the device listed as the default. Hard to do without pictures but try this.Bottom right of screen. Right Click on the speaker Icon.Select Playback devicesLook for your USB headphones in the list. Note, it might have a speaker icon next to it, instead of headphones.If you see it, click on it, and then click on Set default.Hope this works.

Have you tried SuperATC? This assigns voice commands to trigger the keystrokes.ortry this utilityhttp://www.hidmacros.eu/whatisit.phpIt helps using multiple keyboards. And it's free.

Radar Contact sends it's sound through whatever audio device is selected in Windows as the default. Before starting FSX and RC make your headphones the default device. Start them, and RCv4 should now be sent through your headphones.

Hi Guys, I know this topic is rather old. (about a month) But I wanted to jump in here to clear up any misconceptions regarding Flight Sim Voices. U.S. Flight Crew Vol1. Actually, it's meant to be this way. Hopefully in the near future, when there are are more languages and dialects, you'll have all the Callsigns in Radar Contact represented by the actual pilots that fly them. (An American in a Korean Airlines 747?) I made the decision to offer only American voices with American callsigns, to help keep the recording costs down and since the ultimate goal was to have the same voice in Radar Contact as in FDC or FS Passengers if you were using both. No there are no ATC replacements. Only Pilots. I think that is great you purchased RCv4 . It's a great product!

I was going to post what Ronzie posted about the line, eagleflight,eagleflight,American Eagle Airlines Inc - USA,0, 0 It's the same in my c4 file. Have you tried it in debug mode to see why RC is grabbing the "american" wav file? Sorry can't be more help.

sorry multiple post

And another great feature to point out is that you can hand the communications off to a virtual co-pilot who will tune the frequencies for you and contact atc automatically.
