Thanks for the two suggestions. Having watched a couple of videos, I think just from the sound of the voices, I'd prefer SuperATC. But 40 bucks is a bit steep just to get that feature.MCE has a way better phrasing in my opinion, but - and this is just my personal opinion - the answering "FO" computer voices are a real turnoff. Anyone know if they'd be able to be turned off, or at least be restricted to only ATC etc?Anyway, any of you have any experience how either of those softwares fare within the FS2Crew environment? Any overlapses (obviously MCE also has stuff like ordering flaps, MCP, autobrake etc. - stuff that could interfere with FS2Crew if you're not careful, I might imagine)? I have seen a somewhat similar question in this thread, but I'm really more interested if FS2Crew and MCE could be used together, simulataneously, without interfering. When I find time, I'm going try the MCE demo, though.Thanks,--Jakob

Agreed. Personally, most of the time I'm using Radar Contact. But when writing the opening post I was thinking more in general terms. Yes, the FS ATC, but also some ATC in general. True dat! I was thinking of the few options the default ATC has, so it didn't really cross my mind how much would actually have to be recorded and programmed. So my secario #2 is out. Here's where my scenarios #1 and #3 would come in. "Contact ATC" --> opens ATC or RC window. "Answer 1" --> ATC/RC option 1. My thinking is, saying "Contact ATC" is kinda like telling the FO to contact ATC and talk :) That does sound cool, count me in. Although who really knows how long until RC5 is actually released. Yeah, like I said, I'll stick with FS9. Not only because I'm a developer for FS9, but because I actually like it better [please, no-one start a flame war here]. It runs a lot better on my PC, and I couldn't even dream of getting all the third-party software again for FSX. So the downside of that is, no VoxATC for me. Not really an option for me. I'm an offline flying / AI kinda guy. Thanks for the suggestion though.Addendum: I honestly think my scenario #3 (user records his own commands which are translated to user-chosen keyboard presses) is feasible. It wouldn't require new recordings by FS2Crew members, and it wouldn't require new programming of functions - just the basic translation from recorded command to key press. And concerning default ATC and RC - it wouldn't even matter which of those the user uses. Both use keypresses to send commands.Having said that, please tell me if I'm outta line here.

Hello hello,first off - I'm eternally grateful for what you have accomplished with FS2Crew. I had been using the button versions for a bit, but for me the voice control took it to a whole new level. FS2Crew is certainly something I cannot fly without anymore (which also has the downside of only being able to fly with a select amount of aircraft :().Now, I regularly run into a certain discrepancy: being all high and happy and whatnot with ordering my FO around, when suddenly the ATC window pops up and I actually have to lower myself to press keyboard buttons... All fun aside, wouldn't it be fairly simple (looking at for example the iFly FS2Crew version, which if I understand correctly uses keyboard commands) to use FS2Crew (or a side program) to control the ATC?My thinking goes for three possible scenarios:1) the state of the ATC cannot be read by FS2Crew, so a voice command could be "answer ATC - number 1" to have key 1 pressed, for example acknoledge an ATC instruction. Or "answer ATC - number 4" when requesting an FL change. Etc.2) the state of the ATC can be read by FS2Crew, so actual voice commands could be used, for example "ATC ... requesting FL change to 3 5 0" or "ATC ... say again" etc.3) None of the above is possible, but a somewhat customizing function could work: in the FS2Crew config manager, the user could record a command ("ATC - number 3") and assign it to a keyboard key, in this case the key [3].Disclaimer: I'm running FS9, and will not, ever and/or in the foreseeable future, switch to FSX or its successor. So Vox ATC is not an option for me.Again, this is both a suggestion and a question of feasibility, not a request whatsoever.Thanks in advance,--Jakob
