That happens once every 12 hours or so and before MCE starts loading its stuff. So, it's not like an indication of something when it pops-up say only once a day.

Thanks for feedback. Never delete <Multi Crew Experience> folder found in \My documents\ folder as you would be getting rid of all default pre-made flows, not to mention any customization you may have done to them MCE interfaces the PMDG 737 ( and other PMDG planes) using their SDK. 75% of switches and dials can be read and set via the SDK. While there are commands to toggle guards in SDK, there is no way to read their current state via the SDK. You would need to make assumptions like "ok it's down, toggle once to lift it and then a second time to close it). But if the user manually messes with those guard switches it won't be reliable The reason it wasn't returning to normal is because the FO couldn't see the guard was lifted ( as he expected it to be so he can close it). There are a few vital other items that still aren't possible via the SDK like reading stab trim position so the FO can accurately position it when told "stabilizer trim five point 7 units". and that's where the module is used.

This one is no big deal, it's just a recommendation so that in the future they may get rid of some older Datarefs. For now, the plugin uses them as it supports XP-12, XP-11 & XP-10 According to the log, the plugin is definitely loading. The 32 Bit one doesn't and it's normal for a 64 Bit process not to load a 32 Bit plugin (doesn't see it as a valid file) which would only be loaded by XP-10 (32 Bit process). Try running X-Plane as administrator and starting MCE using simulator Plugins menu.

Make sure X-Plane is loading our "xpInsider.xpl" plugin The X-Plane log should say if it failed to load. Try starting X-Plane, then using its menu to start MCE. Menu Plugins->Multi Crew X-Plane->Start Multi Crew. If the menu is missing that entry, either the file itself is missing from \X-Plane\Resources\Plugins\ folder or something went wrong when the file was loaded. I assume you are using the latest patch and replaced all files that need to be.

You're welcome. I assume you manually replaced all files, including "mce.exe", "Simco64_Ldr.exe" and speech grammar files in \CandC\ folder In current implementation, as a reaction to "check flight data recorder" command he switches FDR to test, waits for 4 seconds, then puts it back on. No need for a separate command to bring it to normal. You can even set the guard and switch to random positions and he should be able to do the switching correctly.

You're welcome. Please get the patch here and manually replace a few files. You'll get the latest Patches - The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum - The AVSIM Community

If you're on Ultimate or MSFS edition, get the patch for your relevant edition here: Patches - The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum - The AVSIM Community Unless it's the PMDG 737 specific edition in which case you need to contact support. In latest V3.0.7.0 The spring loaded switch in picture above is now automatically set to OFF (middle) when FO checks the switch state. The flight data recorder switch can now be controlled via voice or a flow. Use any of these commands check flight data recorder test fdr data recorder check ...there are many more speech variations As for testable items on FO main front panel, here they are check annunciator lights check autopilot disengaged lights In general to request an item to be check you either start OR end the command with "check", "verify", "test", "please check", "please verify", "please test", "please have a look at test squibs verify overspeed warning stall warning check ....

We've had a few users in the past report issues with the Simbrief feature. In most cases it was because they altered C:\Users\ folder access rights which caused Windows not to allow MCE to write files to \My documents\ folder. Since very latest version, MCE will now create file in C drive under such scenarios. It is fixed in Ultimate and MSFS editions. A new patch has just been uploaded for the X-Plane edition. Obviously includes the fix. Download it and then confirm whether you still have the issue. Patches - The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum - The AVSIM Community

First, welcome aboard. You're already advanced user. Will get back to you on various items gradually. I start with item 6 While this weird behavior was reported more than a year ago, it should have been fixed. Normally, no identical string should be added as MCE checks the content of the listbox first. But then you never know when non-English Windows setups are involved when string comparison doesn't yield the same result based on system locale. I assume you're on English Windows. For now, you could trim them as follows. Go to \My Documents\Multi Crew Experience\Myvoicescripts\Copilot\Aircraft\PMDG B737 MSFS\ Open each flow in Notepad (do not use fancy tools like Notepad++ or complex editors as they may introduce invisible characters or change the file format). You'll easily find the duplicates. Just get rid of them. You may want to read this thread as well New User Questions - The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum - The AVSIM Community

It would be silly to tie the key to devices that can disappear. I can assure you it's a well thought process that served us and our customers well for more than a decade. You won't even need a new key if you format C drive, install ANY Windows version. The same machine ID will be generated and putting back your saved key file will activate your copy.

OK will be looked at. If I'm not mistaken a long time ago we decided not to accept <ALT> key as it would trigger the main menu in Prepar3D or FSX. Maybe time to update Voxkey.

It's very likely your machine ID has changed. It won't run unless it finds a valid key for current machine ID. Not just any file with correct name. Fill-out "Registration.txt" file in MCE installation folder and send it to support.

If you mean "strobe lights" use commands "strobe lights on", "strobe light off" and they will be accurately switched (not just toggled) as FO will read the switch state first. If it's another light or the plane isn't fully supported yet, let me know which plane it is and explain which light we are talking about.

Sure, Regarding checklist... For items where the answer can be anything and the FO isn't expected to make sense of it, use one '_' (underscore) character. [ ] item in checklist -- _ MCE will then switch to "dictation mode" and you can say anything you want. Speech engine obviously may not pick-up exactly what you said as the dictation feature of the speech engine isn't as reliable as the "command and control" feature. For anti-ice or other checkable items that can be ON or OFF, use "as required" as the reply. [ ] engine anti-ice -- As required If you replay "as required", "as desired", FO will assume you intend the switches to remain in their current state. If you reply "ON" (or equivalent word) he will check it's ON. If you reply "OFF" (or equivalent word) he will check it's OFF. Regarding item 2. Since latest version, should be able to select 70 kts call-out on landing. Click button next to "Call-outs and monitoring" feature in "General" tab and you'll be able to customize call-outs. Grab the latest here Will get back to you regarding other items as soon as possible.

This is the link to the patch for the MCE Ultimate Edition This is the link to the patch for the MCE MSFS Edition (Do not use this for Airplane specific products like PMDG 737 edition or Fenix A320 edition)) V3.0.7.8 A few adjustments required to fit with latest PMDG updates to 737 (which caused a couple of switches not to be handled as expected) V3.0.7.6 Adds speech commands to ask mechanic to set/remove chocks Adds speech commands to control GRND CALL and ATTND CALL in a few aircraft (PMDG 737, Fenix A320, Flyywire) Fixed Recirculating fan switch not moving on command in PMDG 737 Tweaked the aircraft relocation via voice feature. V3.0.7.2 Adds speech commands for securing guard switches in PMDG 737 Adds new speech commands for controlling speed reference selector via voice Adds new spech commands for controlling n1 set selector via voice Adds voice control for stab trim override (aft pedestal switch) Fine tunes speech commands related to dialling SPD, HDG, ALT, MCP mode etc.. V3.0.7.0 Now fully supports recently release Inibuilds A300-600 to same level as Inibuilds A310. Adds voice control control for a few items in PMDG 737 V3.0.6.8 Improves ATR ECL checklist handling Patch requires MCE V3.0.6.0 or higher. This is the link for the patch MCE X-Plane edition Download, unzip and manually replace files as per folder structure. Sometimes, the links will be temporarily removed when a major update requires a full install.

Check you have xpInsider64.xpl and xpInsider.cfg files inside \X-Plane\Resources\Plugins\ folder. You may have more than one X-Plane installation and the installer only added the files to one of them. Normally it would prompt whether you have another installation (so it can copy the same files to the other setup), but it's easy to disregard the message. Also, don't forget <MCE dlls> folder which should be there as well \X-Plane\MCE dlls\

First, if you have been delivered a new key recently, make sure it's the one you are using not a different one from long ago which isn't suitable for current machine ID Ensure your system is set to show hidden files and folder (Use Windows Control Panel, Folder explorer options) After that, you'll be able to find it. C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Multi Crew X-Plane\xpmce.ini

Try latest patch

Re-download path. V3.0.6.8 should get the first checklist sections handled better. Same link above Nav1 track dialing OK. nav2 Track dialing not working because can't read actual value in reference to which dial is incremented/decremented. Default Asobo variable seems to remain at zero, while Nav1 updates as expected. No ATR custom Lvar either. We'll try to find out more about this.

Perhaps the issue is with CS 757. Try it with some other P3D plane. I only checked with PMDG 737 and FENIX A320.

Maybe you manually deleted <Multi Crew Experience> installation folder after un-installing, wiping your activation file in the process. Ensure your key is present inside installation folder. Also, tell your anti-virus to trust "mce.exe". Avast and Avira are known to interfere with the process. Eventually, restore MCE to factory settings Windows Start->Multi Crew Experience->Restore factory settings. This will ensure you have a config file in synch with latest options. That will force you to go through the wizard again, but there is no need for speech training.

One of the text files intended for speech training had a type and was reported some time ago. Should be fixed since. Update to latest. http://www.multicrewxp.com/Downloads.html And yes, agree, FSX was a great simulator. There is a reason why MSFS was built on it and not from scratch.
