Thanks, I have seen that.

Hi there. Are you able to give us any information on the likelihood of an update for the DC6 for X-plane v11? It still hasn’t been broken by 11.30r1 but there are a few things that need work. It still flies beautifully but a few knobs and buttons don’t work. And it has to be loaded, plugin re-enabled, then moved to another location for the sounds to work. Plus some other minor issues. Regards, Craig.

Hi. I am using MCE 1.3.7.5 with X-plane in VR. I have an issue when using VATSIM. Randomly, the X-plane ATC window will open when I use my yoke PTT, annoyingly in the default location in front of my view. I have tried to deselect the interact with ATC option but MCE crashes every time I do that. Any suggestions? Regards, Craig.

Thank you for the support. The xpInsider64.xpl file was not updated and once I copied it from the zip file, MCE worked again.

Hello, I cannot get MCE to connect to X-Plane 11.30 (beta 1 or 2) either starting it first or via the plugin menu. I have uninstalled an reinstalled a couple of times using Control Panel to remove MCE first. I have tried 1.3.7.4. and 1.3.7.5. I have recently install some Microsoft C++ redistributables and I'm wondering if they are a conflicting version to those MCE requires? However, I can't find any references online or in the documentation and there is no reference to required software when I re-install. Any suggestions would be welcome. Is anybody else having this problem? Regards, Craig

Thank you

Yes, I’ve done that but it doesn’t appear to be working. The numlock key on the keyboard works, but not the voxkey version. I’ll keep trying. A commandref would be easier...

I’ve managed to get it to recognise “toggle Clive”. But when I press the numlock key as the keyboard command to execute, the trigger says ‘pause’. Is that correct? Craig.

Ok, that sounds good to start with. I create a custom speech command to engage numlock to make MCE stop listening. Then how do I use a speech command to switch it back on? I just tried to do that, but it didn’t work. My other voxkey commands work but not this one. I’ll do some custom training to see if I can get it to work. Regards, Craig.

Hello, in the next version for X-plane could you please include commands refs for the AI After Landing and Shutdown workflows? Those two are missing in the current set. Thank you. Craig.

In the next x-plane version, could you please include a command to stop the copilot listening that I can allocate to a joystick button? I currently have to lift up the googles to see where to click on the interface window. I use x-plane in VR exclusively. Unfortunately Clive will attempt to perform random commands such as “shutting down engine #1”, I guess based on background sounds. I would also like Clive to stop listening and executing commands when I speak to the cabin crew. Thank you. Craig.

Thank you! I didn't know that datrefs are not loaded until the aircraft is loaded. Obvious in hindsight. Regards. Craig

The DC6 is seriously awesome to fly in X-Plane VR. With some of the new tools being developed by users there are fewer work-arounds required every week. One thing I can't work out how to do so far is start the AFE checklists by a command. Is anyone able to shed some light on how this might be possible? Sparker has just created a VR window that allows you to initiate a command - but what is the command to kick off the AFE actions? I've used DataRef Tool to try to find one but no luck so far. Thanks in advance for any assistance! Craig

Hello, How to I get the installer to install the DC-6 onto both X-plane 10 and X-plane 11 on the same PC? Neither the Repair or Modify options of the installer allow me to choose the version of X-Plane I want to use. Regards, Craig.

In the .cfg file there are sections for Status Lights 10, Status Lights 8, Status Lights 5 but nothing for the single status light that is described in the manual. Can you please give me an example of how to use the single status light? I want to use it to indicate the Yaw Damper status. I have tried to modify Status Lights 10 - it works for SL 5 but not 10 as below. This works: ;Status Lights 5 . . 44015|1I_L3_|sim/cockpit2/switches/yaw_damper_on but this doesn't: ;Status Lights 10 . . 44014|2F_L9_|sim/cockpit2/switches/yaw_damper_on What am I doing wrong? Regards, Craig.

I am having trouble getting a yaw damper status light working. For some reason this works: ;Status Lights 5 . . 44015|1I_L3_|sim/cockpit2/switches/yaw_damper_on but this doesn't: ;Status Lights 10 . . 44014|2F_L9_|sim/cockpit2/switches/yaw_damper_on Any suggestions? Regards, Craig.

Sorry to take so long to reply, I haven't had any time to use the sim for the last month. For the Radar Altitude, the instruments are normally limited to around 3,000 feet due to increasing error. Yes, it is the Fuel Remaining gauge. V2.92. The gauge flickering may be due to a network issue at my end; I've just put in a local switch to connect my PCs and I'll let you know if I still have a problem. Regards, Craig.

Hi, I use EFIS Panel Builder v2.92 with x-plane 10.31 and it is excellent.. I would like to request a few changes and report an error. I use the panels to fly turboprops mostly. Can the Radar Altitude gauge be adjusted to not show a value above 3000ft? I believe that is standard behaviour. Can the glideslope indicators please not be displayed when there is no vertical guidance available? Otherwise it gives a false indication of on-slope. Same for the CDI if there is no lateral guidance available. Can you add a Yaw Damper selection indicator to the autopilot dispaly panel? The fuel guage conversions may not be correct. When I change the gauge setting from lbs to gal it goes from 478lbs to 822gal. I would excpect it to go from 478lbs to around 80gal. Finally, sometimes the gauges flicker if I start X-plane before Panel Builder, although today they flickered anyway. Is there a setting somewhere that could be affecting this behaviour? Thanks, Craig.
