Hello Bruno, First of all thank you for your purchase 🙂 About your issue, did you make sure you have selected ON the "Sky - 24h" in the option window? Also, if you use ASCA together with Envtex and uses the "Sky - custom" feature instead, you can't enable the 24 hours option as our sky textures are injected into ASCA, which then manages which ones to inject in the simulator depending on the weather conditions. Hope this will help you !

Hi all, I wanted to share something with you all about TOGA projects : https://www.togaprojects.com/post/holding-point I saw quite a lot of questionment here and there about what is going on for us and hopefully, this will finally bring an answer for our supporters.

Hi there, A video would help to investigate, as I've never seen this

Hello guys, I'm sorry for the website being down, that's definitely not normal, we would not have abandonned everything without telling our community, even if we're quite silent for more than a year. I'll have a look, the website will hopefully be live again very soon EDIT: it seems our hoster has some issues, for now you can access our website from here until it's resolved : https://togapjcts.wixsite.com/toga EDIT 2 : It's back online 🙂

Hi there, NZCH is now available to download on the TOGA projects website: https://www.togaprojects.com/godzonesceneries Thanks again Robin for your confidence 🙂

@toprob Not sure if you need any kind of server activation which I could not provide, but if not I'd be happy to host your products for free on our our website at TOGA projects, I may create a dedicated page for them. I've always loved your sceneries and would be glad if it can help you and the community.

I was talking about the electrical hydraulic pumps 😉 I indeed have the latest v2.8.3.4 as i've just downloaded and installed MCE a few days ago. The dll version for NGx and NGxu is correct as well. Not much a big deal for the hydraulic pumps, just wanted to report it as it's obviously a minor mistake. As for GSX, the only two solution is to load the aircraft on the runway, turnoff the engine, call ground so the ramp coordinator wakes up, then I can move the plane with GSX to the required gate; or I can load the flight directly on the required gate and turn off the engine there, however the aircraft is usually not correctly placed according to the gsx profile settings (as gsx adjusts the stop point differently of each aircraft which the afcad does not). Not much a big deal either but in case I'm doing it in the wrong order, I must restart the sim and that's more annoying.

No it's actually not that loud "dong" from GSX. It's a windows "dong". Yes, P3D is ran as an admin and MCE is correctly installed. UAC is disabled as it's a personal preference and required for some of my softwares.

Sorry, I should have been more precise, I made further tests and it actually happens if I move the plane to a gate using GSX (GSX gate placement is more precise than the P3D gate list) then stop the engines or load a panel state. When calling the ground for the first time, the gsx menu opens automatically, then I can hear a "dong", after about 30 secs to 1 min, the mechanic finally answers, but the ramp coordinator remains silent. If I load the aircraft directly at the gate from the P3D menu, then load the aircraft and don't open the GSX menu until the ramp coordinator say hello it works. If the GSX menu is used, then no ramp coordinator. EDIT: restarting couatl and rebuilding airport cache, then restarting MCE does not help either. Seems like GSX menu must not be opened at all until the ramp coordinator said hello or MCE won't detect GSX.

Hi there, I've just realized that with the 737 NGXu, GSX was not properly recognized by MCE, the ground services and gsx pushback are not available through MCE commands. GSX works as it should on its own using the CTRL+SHIFT+F12 key as usual. However if I load a default aircraft first like the piper cub with MCE , then load the NGXu, GSX is properly detected and I can hear the ramp coordinator introducing himself. Not sure if it happens with other PMDG aircraft. Can something be done about it? I've searched the forum but did not find anything about that issue, sorry if I missed the info if it was already given. Also, I've found that in the 737-800 NGxu, the electrical pumps are reversed, calling for the left pump acts on the right one and vice versa.

Hi all, I know I'm refreshing a very old thread but I am meeting the same issue as kiwiflyer for quite some time and I have not been able to find the responsible or a solution, just as described before in this thread, any of my multiple FS9s or any fresh install do behave the same way. When I'm starting FS9, a rundll32.exe is also started, it loads during a few seconds then the FS9 splashscreen finally appears; but if I'm offline, then rundll32 runs forever, the FS9 splash screen does not appear and it never starts. As anyone been able to solve this issue or at least have found the responsible? Thanks by advance, Maxime.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the advice for EditVoicePack, will do that. Unfortunately I already spent many hours (or days?) searching for a solution to these ATC sound stutters but never found a solution yet.

How could I have missed this while I've spent hours on calclassic?! Thanks a lot ! :smile: Indeed Ed, that's what I understood by watching your videos but actually I didn't know how you were able to fly current approaches before you told me. Your method by updating fs approaches data is probably the most realistic way to fly with default ATC but I was searching a more generic method in order not to need tweaking all the airports I am flying to. Flying old approaches is simply useless as the data is too much outdated. At first I was just searching a way to fly the current approaches without always being yelled by ATC and I think RJ's link is the best solution to that. I will probably now use your method for my favorite airports combined with the modified ATC that RJ was talking about, this way I will have fully realistic approaches at airports I am using the most and a generic solution for other destinations. Just a last question about ATC, do you recommend any must have Edit Voice Pack package that you are using to enhance default ATC? Apart that and my ATC sound stutters mystery (but don't think I'll be able to find a solution, I always met that with FS9), I found the answers ! Many thanks, and happy flying :wink:

Hi all, At first, many thanks for your answers. Actually my computer is pretty powerfull, I should have put my config within my message. I do not have any kind of performance or sound issue with FS9 except the default ATC (I was not talking about RCV4 which runs perfectly smoothly). The problem is that FS9 does not allow to set another sound card to be used for ATC. Indeed I already know that SID/STARS were not supported by default ATC but I was thinking about a way it could let us doing what we want for the approach phase instead of always repeating the vectors and altitude if I get too far from what they want during a STAR. Thanks also for your answer here Ed, I posted at the same time here and on your youtube video. Indeed it's better to descend early than later but many times I've been too low and still quite far from my destination, but I guess there is not much to do there with default ATC. Thanks again guys :smile:

Hi guys, I am not often writing here but I am reading you everyday, this section of the avsim forum is a real encyclopedia and each day I am learning new things and today I would really appreciate your help. For quite some time I am using RCV4 for my ATC but I am getting bored using too many external software when flying. I would now like to come back to the default FS9 ATC but two annoying things always prevented me to use it again : - First I always met on any computer running FS9 some sound stutters when the ATC sounds are being played at first word of an ATC call, especially when there is AI traffic. Is there a way to prevent this? Is EditVoicePack able to enhance this? - Secondly, I am always getting crazy trying to fly SID and STARS with the default ATC that always makes me descend far too early and prevent me to fly normal SID and STARS as it always giving me vectors. Is there any tip to fly them correctly without needing another external software? Thanks by advance for your help ! :smile: Maxime.
