Hello Subs,Been working last few days so I hadn't checked. Your setup sounds really interesting, hadn't thought of doing that before. Personally my computer is a really powerful computer (6 core computer with 8 GB of RAM and x64 bit processor). Currently, I run FSX with all sliders maxed and see no frame rate problem. This was vastly different to my last computer which could hardly run all the addons and FSX at the same time. Overall it looks really good, but I don't know if it might look better with your setup. Perhaps I'll try this in the future. To the other posters,Thanks for your input, Yes I have a default sound card on my computer, though it is still a pretty good one capable of producing surround sound on my computer. I know other sound cards are better, but the reason I couldn't hear the sound wasn't because of my sound card, but because I have my computer speakers connected through an adapter to my PS3 (which doubles as my blueray DVD player). Since the PS3 is not configured for computer speakers, I bought an adapter to connect it, and have to use a virtual surround sound function to create surround sound for the PS3. When I turned the function off, everything worked fine. As for the audio files, on my specfic system (which could be set up incorrectly), the audio for RC is output through the right back speakers only. If my virtual surround sound is ON while running the computer, the back speakers produce no sound. Consequently, RC then can't be heard, though it runs correctly otherwise. Thanks,Jeremy

Thanks Subs, As it turns out I have fixed the problem this evening. You see I run Logitech Surround Sound Speakers for my computer and blueray player (the same set of speakers). Since the surround sound only works for the computer and not the blueray player, I turn on a feature that comes with the speakers that enables it to create virtual surround sound for the blueray player. Unfortunately if I forget to turn it off, the computer cannot create actual surround sound for FSX (or the computer) and thus you can't hear sound from certain speakers. I learned that RC outputs sound through the side right speaker only on my system, and with the virtual surround sound turned on, this speaker does not function for the computer. Perhaps this is what is happenning to people with better sound cards and speakers. I turned the feature off this evening (because I did a speaker test) and RC works fine now. I thought RC was actually running but I couldn't hear anything. I guess I didn't wait long enough for the computer to complete the dialogue for my clearance or I would have confirmed this earlier.As for your solution I was wondering, do you run multi monitors to get this to work? I'm asking because the reason I upgraded my computer was to finally get it so I had a computer that would run FSX and all my addons at full capacity. With my 6 core system and high end graphics card, I get the full functionality of FSX with higher frame rates to boot. Just curious how you get it to work as I'm not familiar with WideFS.Thanks,Jeremy

I bought a copy of radar contact about two years ago (version 4.3). Recently I changed computers to a computer that operates Windows 7 (x64). All of my FSX addons work (Active Sky, X Graphics, PMDG MD11 and Ultimate Traffic 2) but Radar Contact does not. All of these addons were used wonderfully together in Windows Vista, and all work in Windows 7 except Radar Contact. I have made sure that FSUIC (I think that's it) is the newest version (as seen on this forum), I have run Radar Contact as Admin and I have made sure the keyboard commands don't conflict with anything else. The problem is I can't hear anything. It appears that Radar Contact is running, but I can't hear a sound from Radar Contact. After going to RC main screen, I decided to test the pilot sounds- no sound could be heard. The same goes with the plane ID's-- no sound. It all worked in Vista, but is there something in Windows 7 that prevents me from hearing the sound, or is FSX having an issue? Any ideas on the subject would be most appreciated.Jeremy
