I presume the one I found came from a Saitek driver install package. Saitek (Madkatz) doesn't make anything easy. I've still never got my pro trim wheel to be stable in p3d. It screws up the other usb ports.

In order the completely disable my Saitek controls, even though I did not launch SPAD, I found a file running in Task Manager called SaiFlightSimX.exe. It resides in Program Files (x86)/Saitek. I just renamed it to SaiFlightSimX.temp and that stopped all controls from my Saitek panels completely.

UAC is always disabled. Everything in my FS is set to Run As Admin. Since this started immediately after installing the latest version, I simply uninstalled and reinstalled. That fixed it. That's what I should have done in the first place, but for some reason I failed to follow my own normal troubleshooting procedures. Thanks for the reply. I've been using MCE since you released it, and have very few issues. Jim in Ohio

P3dv3.1 - Windows10 - i7 - GTX970 - 16G After installing 2659, I've noticed some strange things. The observations listed below are evident on both Aerosoft A320X and Carenado C90GTX. MCE is loaded and Real Cockpit Crew Coordination - Talk To ATC Controllers - Sim User Interface Voice Control are the only three features set under the General tab. Both of the planes I use are C&D when loaded. 1) The first thing I always do after loading the flight, is have MCE open the flight planner to load the flightplan. Now, when I say SHOW FLIGHT PLANNER the information bar tells me Dialog voice activation not permitted in critical phase. I get the same message when I attempt any interface control commands that used to work before. I just go ahead and manually open the flight planner to load my flight plan. 2) Command SET PARKING BRAKE - I see "set parking brake" appear on the text line, but MCE says Do you want to destroy the gear on landing or what? Let's pretend I didn't hear that. This is occurring before I even turn the batteries on. 3) Command GEAR UP/DOWN - During cockpit prep, if the gear is already down and I say "Gear up" MCE responds with Gear already up. If I say "Gear down", MCE says Speed check. Gear coming down. It appears to me from these responses that MCE believes we are already in an establish flight. 4) I can't set the speed in the autopilot. When I say "SET SPEED 159" I see the exact verbiage in the text line, but MCE responds with I'm sorry, what did you say? Speed? If I reply with "159" MCE will say Confirm that. After that it just ignores me. All other AP commands work fine like "ALTITUDE 5000" or "HEADING 250". These issues are consistent. Happens every flight... every time.

Once you get MCE figured out, it really makes simming enjoyable. I also was having difficulty getting ATC to function properly with MCE. I'm using P3DV3, but I think these suggestions will be beneficial in any sim. 1) It is extremely crucial that your speech pace is even and consistent. You must not pause excessively between words or phrases. I have the My Speech Pace slider full right. (Slow) 2) Minimize outside noise and sounds (especially speech) coming from your speakers. Route sound to a headset as much as possible. Noise plays havoc to any speech recognition engine. 3) Even though "Accurate Call Sign Required" is unchecked in the ATC menu, best results come when using "EasyJet 222" or just "Easy222". Simply saying just "222" seldom works. (My callsign is EasyJet 222 on my Airbus A320). 4) Utilize the Speech Training modules, in particular for ATC. Since your speech is working fine with co-pilot, I don't suspect there is any problem with with your mike setup or your general speech habits. If you are hesitant to make the purchase, be assured that when you get the setup right, it can't be beat.

I got the NGX as a gift on disk. When I go to downloads I see there is a sp1d available, but I don't see any link to get the download. It wants an order number but I didn't have an order number. How do I get the download?

Is there anyway to control the volume of the copilot voice? I find it too loud for the levels that I have set for the normal cockpit. The FSX settings/sound/voice slider seems to have no effect on it. I haven't been able to locate an ini file that might control it. What happens is that the copilot seems to hear his own voice and tries to respond to himself. If I reduce the speaker volume overall, I have no problems. If there is no voice output setting, there should be.

Yep, it took power, either apu or ground to open them. But what is the procedure to close them? Now they won't retract. (I tried with the door open or closed.) I wonder in the real world, if the plane is parked somewhere C&D, how the crews board a closed up aircraft? Is there a manual entry door, or would they have to provide a power source? thanks oops... never mind. They are working now.

In my CDU, AIRFRAME/AIRSTAIRS INSTALLED option is green YES and in FS ACTIONS/DOORS/ AIRSTAIR is set to OPEN, but when I click on it, it doesn't do anything like all the other doors. There is nothing marked INOP on the overhead.

Thanks guys...

For troubleshooting purposes, I don't want to have FS2Crew load automatically with the 737. What would be the easiest way to temporarily prevent it from running?

Gee, I had tried that in ADE, except I used an image overlay (Google Earth), to position the exclude box. Do you suppose my overlay was just that far off? I tried the same thing then, using Sbuilder to position the exclude, again using an image overlay to position the box. I should have tried making the perimeter larger. I must have been just missing the target. Anyway, thanks so much for your time!

I just sent it to your website email. Wonder why this forum says I am not permitted to upload this kind of file? It's only a few kb in size. thanks

Antenna location is about N40° 5.89' x W80° 51.90' For some reason I can not upload my modified airport 2P7_ADEX_JM.ad3 I get error message saying I'm not permitted to upload this kind of file, but I am sure the antennas are not placed by any airport scenery. They are too far away. There are antennas are all over the place. If I slide the scenery objects slider all the way left to very sparse, then the antenna are gone, but that's ALL antennas are gone. I'm just trying to kill these 3. Autogen settings has no effect so I know it is not autogen. Somehow Megascenery can exclude all FSX scenery except for antenna and power plants because that is the only scenery that is visible after installing Megascenery. No houses.. trees...ect. I doubt if Megascenery is actually placing these objects. I tried to contact Megascenery support twice, but support must be non existant there, as I've never had any reply.

Closest is probably 2P7, but more than 5 miles away. I've already remade that airport.
