Well you go Sir, I did what you described and found out that the co-pilot was listening in on the Oculus Rift microphone. All is well now.

OK, second time to see if anyone knows what is going on. I have the FSLABS A320 sitting at KATL on ground power as I read and try to figure out MCE. As I am sitting there, with the microphone OFF, the co-pilot starts rambling away. Several minutes of silence then she says "Slats Retracted" about 7 times in a row, then she says "Slats Extended". Wait a bit and she says some flaps command, can't understand what she is saying other than the word "Flaps". She repeats that about 7 times over a short period of time. Shortly after that she says. "Channel to Managed Mode", twice. Then it sounds like she said she had a bad night. Anyway you get the drift. The program is unusable to me if the co-pilot starts making random settings. I know there are many people that rave about this program and I hope I am one of them, f someone can just tell me how to stop this issue. Thanks

thanks will give it a try. although it sounds as if the co-pilot is doing stuff

At times when I start MCE all is fine the Co pilot just listen and respond. At other times the Co Pilot just starts rambling on, performing actions or just talking. Anyone know why this is?

looks like someone in the Prepar3d forum stated that Prepar3d was running as a background task. Sure enough that was it. Although I do not know how it started as a background task.

Prepar3d Scenario has white screen on vehicle selection. I can select a plane but the block where the planes picture show, remains all white. If I select an aircraft, airport, weather all loads but ends up in a totally black screen. I just installed Prepar3d v4 today. Installed ORBX scenery, Chase Plane and A2A C-172. Uninstalled C-172 to see if that made difference, no luck.
