Can the nav data in the Avidyne MFD be updated? Shows a 2007 cycle!

I have voxatc and love it - generally. However, as I understand it, vox generates it's own ai traffic. I think some ai programs can be made to work with it but I had traffic 360 and gave up. Incompatibility with Ai add- ons is my biggest gripe with the program.

Does anyone know if there is a new version in the pipeline? Several posts report various bugs so I just wondered if anything was being done?

I used to "pre-load" the voices using the voxpop server but this crashes. The developer knows about it and says it's being worked on but it has been quite a while now. I'm using win 8.1 and you can get 4 english voices from Microsoft which load quickly.

Thanks.

Hi. I've been having issues with FSX crashing with ai-player.dll appearing to be the culprit. As this only started with traffic 360 being installed I uninstalled it to try and confirm this was the problem. FSX doesn't crash at the moment but there is no AI traffic or chatter. Presumably Traffic disables the FSX file. How do I get it back? Thanks

Just installed the latest version after using 6.05 and am getting a windows error message saying VOXATCserver.exe has stopped working. Running W8.1. Any ideas?

Just getting back into FSX with VOXATC and am having the same issues. For example, parked at gate 12 at EGGP using UK2000 scenery, without VOX enabled and there are aircraft correctly parked. Enable VOX and after initialisation the VOX traffic is parked in strange places including outside the airport boundary! The runway guide lights are way off and the threshold or runway 09 is on the grass. Similar thing at EGLL, if you follow the lights you pass through walls, etc.

Apparrently, Beta 11 v9.4 has fixed this.

Sorted - so simple!! I've been running it in compatibility mode for XP SP3 as I did in win 7. Changed it to Win 7 mode and it activated.

Having the same issue here. Uninstalled correctly and used the licence reset download but still cannot activate. Thought maybe install problems with the old discs so bought a new copy but same problem. Have even activated the extended administrator account in win 8.1 for installing but no change. Clicking on activate by telephone just crashes the program. Opening the phoneactivation.xml file gives 2 numbers for the UK but both are automatic systems which ask for the product id number from the activation wizard. Don't have a number because the wizard will not run for telephone activation. Read a post that from Microsoft that said it can be caused by registry filters but it seemed to only apply to XP and the fix-it file said not compatible with my OS! Banging head against wall now!!

have just got around to re-installing voxatc on my pc having changed from win7 to win8. I downloaded the voxpop base installer but it will not install. It says "there is a problem with this windows installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Any ideas? Didn't have any issues under win7.

Hi guys. Thanks for all the advice but I may just have found the culprit by accident! I had problems installing some Win 8 updates so turned off the anti-virus. That cured the update problem. Just in case the updates had any bearing on the FSX issue I ran it and had no problems with saving flight plans and settings. As I still had the anti-virus turned off, I rebooted as per normal and tried FSX again - problems returned. This pointed to the antivirus as a possible cause. I'm using Bitdefender which appears to have three components to the anti-virus function - Auto-scan, On Access Scanning & Active virus Control. I'd turned all three off for the update. By a process of elimination I believe the problem was due to the Active virus Control - with this off FSX seems OK. I'll have to contact Bitdefender to see what can be done about this. Hopefully I can use FSX if I turn the Active Control off for the time being. Thanks for the help.

Looks like I jumped the gun on the fix! Have just started FSX up and still the same problem of not being able to save/load cfg or flight plan. Out of interest I deleted the fsx.cfg file again and restarted FSX - no problems. Close it and restart and problem appears again. Seems to be something related to the cfg? I downloaded AppCrashView but it does not show FSX as having a problem. Presumably because it hasn't actually crashed; just hanging? It show Task Manager as having crashed when I try to close FSX via that route. I checked the permissions again and they are ok. Any ideas?

Thanks fro the advice guys. Changed the permissions to full control and deleted the fsx.cfg file. Just run the program and can now save settings. Don't know which of actions cured it but I sure as hell would never have thought about looking at permissions. Never had to do that on any program before!! I've deleted the vista version of uiautomationcore.dll from the FSX folder but not had time to do a flight of any length to prove that action. Will hopefully manage it in the next couple of days and will advise how it went. Thank god for forums...
