Thanks Dave!! Joe

Hi Dave: I came across the Amazon Polly service that allow you to use Amazon's text to speech engine via their published api . I believe these voices are from their Ivona purchase a year or so back. They have a free tier that allow you to convert up to 5 millions characters per month and $4 month for every million characters after that. This may be a way to add several voices to P2A without the expense of buying voice packs outright. I believe X-plane is also using this system for their upcoming 11.30 update. I am not sure if this is a feature we could add to the P2A wish list but I thought I would throw it out there. Thanks! Joe

CereProc is running a December sale (50% off) using the 'DECSALE17' code at check out. They offer several different windows voices that sound very good. https://www.cereproc.com/en Standard disclaimer. I am in no way affiliated with Cereproc but own a couple of their windows voices and use them with Pilot2ATC (64 Bit). Joe

The developer of "World Traffic for X-Plane" announced last night the new features of the pending version 3.0 release (see the announcement here https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/128621-world-traffic-30-features/&tab=comments#comment-1236156 ) . At the bottom of the announcement he mentioned changes planned for the 3.1 release: The Pilot2ATC interface should be done soon but won't be in 3.0. Wow!!! I am not sure how far away this is or what level of integration with Pilot2ATC it will have but it could signal a new sense of immersion for flight sim pilots. I am looking forward to more details from the developers as they get closer to a release. Joe

I had the same thing happen to me this afternoon. I will try another flight tonight and if it happens again, I will send in a report with my log. Joe

I uninstalled the old cereproc voices and installed the new version but am still having issues with P2ATC hanging when trying to access the new voices. It may work once or twice on the new voice but it eventually hangs. Is there anyone else still having problems? Thanks! Joe

Any word back from CereProc on a downloadable fix for the P2A incompatibility? Thanks!!

Dave: That is great news. I am looking forward to that feature. Joe

This happen to me as well. I haven't been able to pin it down to a certain airport as it has happened several times. I find that when I start having issues with slow responses I shutdown p2a and restart it. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting but that didn't seem to help. I will look a little more closely at my resources the next time that happens to see what the p2a process is consuming.

That is great news Dave!!

Thanks Dave!!

I noticed the same thing. P2A stopped responding and locked up.while I was flying a departure and once while at cruise This happened on version .14 and .15. I am running windows 7 pro and x-plane 10.45. I reached out to Dave about the problem and he felt it may be a resource issue. I am now monitoring the memory usage of the P2A process and am waiting (and watching) for it to happen again. Joe

I fly with x-plane using P2ATC and this is what I do to separate the ATC audio from the plane audio. Start x-plane and get to the gate (ie. engine sounds coming through speakers) . Then I plugin my usb headset into the usb port and set the default audio playback device to my usb headset (via right click on the windows volume control). I start P2ATC and connect to the sim. P2A will use the usb headset for the default audio and the sim continues to come out through the speakers. Ta da! Please note, If I need to reload the plane x-plane switches the default sound output to the headphones and I have to start over. It's been working great so far. I haven't tried this method with FSX or P3D so your mileage with those sims may vary. I hope this helps!! Joe

Dave: Once I connect P2A to the simulator (x-plane), I can click on "New" flight plan and then click Cruise Alt". I enter the cruise alt (ex. 32000 ft) and press "OK" i get an unhandled exception error. Here is the link to the screen capture: https://goo.gl/photos/gFojADxNpdUPvDZF9 Below is the dump/trace file generated: ################### -- Creaed a flight plan from KORD to KSDF. Entered alt of 32000, GS 400 and DR of 1500 ft/m. -- Cleared the flight plan via the "New" button due to TOD not being calculated. -- I clicked Cruise ALT without creating a way point and caught the Uhandled exception below.

I really love what I see so far. Great works guys!! Joe
