To me it sounds fine coming from a non 737 pilot. I think I am one of many that are laymen that can only assume what is authentic.

Well I must confess that I am not a 737 pilot and have spent literally 1000s of hours in just about every square inch of the 737 except (unfortunately) the flight deck. I have however spent many, many hours in the flight deck of the PMDG NGX, NGXU and the MSFS PMDG 737 and for me the sound from the cockpit of the MSFS PMDG 737 is awful. I have been struggling to eliminate an annoying swooshing sound from the cockpit/ambience sounds when advancing or regarding the thrust during taxi ever since I purchased the MSFS version and finally Boris has sent it packing. That alone is worth the purchase price. Notwithstanding all that, This for me is the best sound pack of them all.

I don’t know if this is a MSFS thing, but as a long time P3D user the biggest disappointment to me when flying the MSFS pmdg 737 is the sound in the flight deck where I spend 99% of my sim time. If just the ambient sound in the cockpit is the same as the latest videos, I will be very happy. To me the present cockpit sound is awful and if I follow the recommended across the board 100% volume settings the engines are way too loud.

Might sound too simple, but have you tried disconnecting from your internet, run a scan with (for instance) Malwarebytes and removing whatever it finds, then reconnecting?

Then I'm out of my depth I'm afraid.

Did you completely uninstall both VOXPOP voices "and" VOXPOP server along with VATC and delete the VOXATC folder from the InternalWorkings folder before reinstall?

Have you just done a reinstall of VATC?

Poor old Tegwyn is taking a beating here, however I can see your point Mario. I did suggest a few weeks ago on this forum, that all of these problems and solutions be moved to a pinned thread on the first page of this forum. Not as good as developer participation but might save a bit of time and frustration.

I agree with what you are saying but don't know the answer either. The best solution I could find was this: http://www.strikingsoftware.com/downloads.shtml It uses your REX textures and gives you a bunch of different water settings to try, or you can play around with the settings yourself. I did notice an improvement but not a complete transformation, especially the part where water meet's land which I find the most unrealistic in FSX. Regards.

Still running FSXBE and (for me) it is running smooth and no OOMs, so I think I will wait until I can just install FSXSE, put my addons in and go fly. Until then, I have it in my Steam library.

Just a guess, but i think it's VOXATC way of clearing the runway after giving you clearance to land. My thoughts are that VATC can control the AI, but it cant control you in as much as exactly how long, according to your preliminary and final approach speeds and therefore exactly when you will be landing, so if you get there a little quicker than VOXATC estimates, there's a 747 taxiing or sitting on the runway. I assume this is what you mean?

I believe this possibility was discussed on their forum some time ago and if I remember correctly, the answer was no, in view of the fact that the 747 v2 is a complete from the ground up new product. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

Can't see any reason why ATC would have me crossing 08R at all, L runs straight from the terminal to the end of 08R and is accessible from every part of the terminal area.

So are you saying that it is possibly VoxATC and not the FSDT afcad?

Didn't have a problem myself, went through the purchase process, and activated same day. As for top dollar, there's only one price, try the demo, buy if you like it, don't if you don't.

Unless FSX is the exception, yes you can, I believe the option comes up during the initial stages of purchase.

Not quite the same problem as mine, i.e. AI is using the same route in my case, so I suspect an AFCAD problem.

Not saying it wont work but bin there, done that twice before and nothing but problems and I'm not the only one. For the extra time it takes, I would "never" do a reinstall of VOXATC without uninstalling Voxpop voices and server before reinstalling.

If you are using Voxpop voices, then I advise you to completely uninstall all of the voices "and" Voxpop server also before installing your new version of VOXATC, then reinstall after new VOXATC installation.

i can't speak for v6.51 but i am using v6.50 on FSX classic and as far as i am concerned it is the most stable version since v6.2. v6.51 is (i believe) identical to v6.50 except that it is compatible with FSX SE as well, so i didn't bother upgrading. Regards.

My post is not implying that it is unfair for you to knock Voxpop voices. It is that your reference to robotic voices (in your previous post) is not accurate. As for PATC voices, are you telling me they are acceptable?

This is an unfair and inaccurate statement Jarkko. For one thing, there are speed of speach and sound effect adjustments provided to set up those free VOXPOP voices which if you take the time can give you supprisingly good results and really great payware voices using the correct speed adjustment. Even the free ones are better than the awful voice packages that come with PATC. Every time PATC releases a new version, I give it a go and still this horse doesn't like that course.

VOXATC for me. Want ATC you can talk to? VOXATC's got it. Want to push buttons? VOXATC's got it. Want procedural correctness? VOXATC's got it. Want a fully functional demo for 7 days to see for yourself? VOXATC's got it. Yes it's got some room for improvement, but the dev is actively working in this area with pretty regular version updates.

VoxATC works just fine if you take the time to "read" the manual first. There is also a fully functional demo that gives you a full 7 days if you take the time to "read" the literature on VoxATC before buying. Had you taken the trouble to do both of these things you would have discovered that VoxATC is one of the, if not "the" best ATC addon out there and silly statements such as the topic of this thread would not happen. Yes there are hiccups that happen depending on the version or sim you are using or how well your install went, which is where this forum and the excellent email support from the developer comes in and helps make your experience with VoxATC as enjoyable as many of us find it. After following these basic steps and you still have a problem, just pop back here and there is always somebody around to help you out. Regards,

Although not on my FSX rig, I have a ASUS 970 STRIX 4g and it is an excellent card. One of the great features of this card is the cooling. I have put it through some pretty intense workouts on my gaming rig and it still run's 10 or more degrees cooler than my 770 Classified on my sim rig. I imagine it's in your price range.
