Sir Tommy Have you tried Multi Crew Experience? It allows you to use voice with the default ATC and there are lots of variations in the way you interact. It could be rather expensive, but there is a free demo that lasts for 10 days or 20 flights.

Quite the opposite for me, I am using JustFlight TrafficX and have plenty of enroute traffic and at the arrival airport. If you want help, then your best option is to email Tegwyn directly, he is very quick in replying to any problems

Have you disabled the default FSX voice in the sound settings?

I am using passive 3D with my LG 42" TV. I downloaded Nvidia 3dtvplay and it works great. you have to purchase it of course, but it makes almost all my games 3D.

Back OT, maybe this is a usefull hint as to the Alaskan release date. From the MSFlight facebook page. Catch up on your Aerocache hunts! From April 18-May 17, we’ll have two Aerocaches of the Day each day in order to ensure that players in all time zones have a convenient time to find and get credit for the Aerocaches that didn’t save before the May 16 title update.

When Flight first started the MP sessions were just fine and that was with 10-15 players (at least for me), only the occasional micro-stutter as people left or joined the session. Other aicraft flying and landing smoothly, then a short while ago the problem started, aircraft hovering 20ft or so above me, even thought the player said he was landed right beside me and all other aircraft stationary in the air for what seemed like minutes. It was all good, or so it was for me, until Steam and the Zero came to be used, coincidence or what! Now when I start up in MP on the map view I can't see any other planes, only mine. Jak

Putting the FM aside, the best thing IMO about TOH is, in most missions, you glance to the side and there is an animated passenger/co-pilot who speak, and also passengers in the rear. now would that not be a cool feature in Flight, instead of just a voice in the ether. As the Seattle area is highly detailed it doesn't seem to affect framerates.

I was on MP early hours of this morning with a group that had seemingly just joined through Steam, and the comments were the usual. "didn't realise the Zero had no cockpit" and "it's an ugly plane, won't fly this again". I don't know if MS intend to release Flight on consoles but if they ever do the Forza4 and PS3 fans will have a field day on the no cockpit issue. You only have to read the forums of the PS3 to see how mad they were and are, on PD releasing cars without cockpits, and the Forza4 guys laughing because all their cars had cockpits, so, the "gamers" that MS are after still want and demand cockpits.

I have just been flying free flight from Honolulu (PHNL). Was rather lonely as usual, so I logged into LiveATC honolulu tower and what a difference! I almost felt like I was part of the traffic. If we can have ghost passengers why not ghost traffic. With a bit of imagination it becomes an interesting experience. I also set real time and the wind direction and speed were identical. Just a coincidence I know. Jak

I have been a MSFS user right from the days of Bruce Artwicks ATP, I think it was.I do fly FSX but keep being drawn back to MS Flight, as it's so good, (IMO).Another plus for Flight, I recently found was, I usually fly at 1920x1080 on my LG 42", I set it to 1280x720 and set it to 3D mode. Now that was a WOW! moment,the cockpit looks so good I will have a hard time going back to full res.So yes, I have chosen Flight and will eagerly await Alaska and hope the price is right.Jak
