I concur for the ability to stretch the CDU would be great. As I run it from a ASUS windows tablet it would be nice to fill the whole thing in portrait mode

Depends on what you fly? PMDG 737 with FS2Crew works

Yes please do tell as I have been searching for away to do this for a long time

would not put it past them but lets hope not

Well I would go for the Saitek Combat pedals and steer well clear of the standard Saitek pedals. (Not sure on the cesna ones) The standard ones seem to have a common fault with the left toe brake breaking. I have seen several for sale on local sites stating left toe brake is broken, (weird it seems to be the left) The fault is a cheep plastic internal part where the tension spring hooks on too, it breaks, and no matter what glue you try to use, super glue, araldite and even a specialised glue designed for bonding all types of plastics (including polyethylene & polypropylene) it wont hold. It seems the tension from the spring is to great. The good news is that I Macgyvered it with a drill, a self tapper and a bit of stiff wire it now works flawlessly you can't even feel the difference in the tension. But in saying that, this is only a temp fix until I purchase the Saitek Combat pedals.

Yes it is the XML for the server side only. You don't need a XML on the client at all.

Ok i had a lot of trouble sorting this bugger out, but I think I may have solved it (well it worked for me anyways) If your xml file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol> <Scope>global</Scope> <Address>192.168.0.11</Address> <MaxClients>64</MaxClients> <Port>500</Port> <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize> <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle> </SimConnect.Comm> <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol>Auto</Protocol> <Scope>local</Scope> </SimConnect.Comm> </SimBase.Document> And SimConnect still doesn't work, then there's your problem! You have two entries trying to use the same port (500). Only one will win, :t0148: and if it's the "local" one then you won't get a remote connection in any case. :shok: Try this one instead: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol> <Scope>global</Scope> <Address>192.168.1.54</Address> <MaxClients>64</MaxClients> <Port>500</Port> <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize> <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle> </SimConnect.Comm> <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol>auto</Protocol> <Scope>local</Scope> <Address></Address> <MaxClients>64</MaxClients> <Port></Port> <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize> <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle> </SimConnect.Comm> </SimBase.Document> Just change the address I have highlighted in red to suit your machine only! Leave the bottom address as is. I am no computer Guru by any means I just did some digging around the net trying different ideas. and low and behold this worked. P.S. I am using Win 7 x64

VoxATC has a trial period, so give it a go and see if you like it? Well I must say that it certainly grabbed my attention when I first got it, :Thinking: But now paired with other 3rd party voices its a b%#ch-slap to the face in reality. I think that the kick in the nuts as for reality would be as mentioned in my previous post and maybe have the ability have a balance slider so you can choose either left for ATC and right for FO or vice versa. :shok: Cheers,

Ivona now has a aussie male called Russell

is there a way of getting those 3rd party voices to sound like they are coming through a radio?

I must say I have voxatc with a few of the Ivona voices installed and it has blown me away.The immersion it brings to FSX is unbelievable, however, here is a thought Now the million dollar question: is it possible to get some form of editor built in or something implemented that will allow us to add a static sound effect to those 3rd party voices during playback so they actually sound like they are coming through a radio, like some of the pop voices for example. Have it set up so the voices for ATC and Pilots only to have this feature and your co-Pilot is clear. Hey you never know even Micro$oft Anna may even sound alright if it works. IMO, I think that if this feature was implemented that VoxAtc would blow away the rest of the competition. P.S. If you are using FS2Crew Emergency with the AU crew setting, the Ivona's voice called Russell is the go for your FO they sound pretty darn close. (He just puts on his best Radio voice for the ATC ladies being the single fella he is....lol)

problem solved what it was, a simple speaker assignment in the 5.1 / 7.1 surround the FO's & FA's voices uses the side speakers in a 5.1 / 7.1 srround setup Silly me had the side speakers setup as rear with no side, hence the reason for no voice. now i can hear him coughing and fidgiting around excelent even got the FA to bring me a coffee.

Hello all, This my first post and i am a complete noob with this and i don't know if this has been covered before. the problem i am having is this: I can only hear the FO if i have HS enabled in the control panel i don't hear him say i am going to do a walk around outside i don't hear the person giving the load sheet prior to boarding So it makes it hard to know where you are up when going through the flows Also I get a warning message that the SDK fails every now and then I have tried reinstalling a few times but no avail By the way I have the latest version of fs2crew for the pmdg 737 ngx Any help with this topic would be great, Thank you, Bedgie
