Hi all
I bought RC v4.3 in the past week. So far everything is set up correctly I believe. Last night I tried to have my first flight but in the end spent 3 hours painfully trying to get RC to work with limited sucess.
The main problem I am having is that RC is not reacting. I was at the gate and requested atis, that worked then when I tuned for my clearance nothing would happen. After many attempts of closing and starting RC I managed to get clearance then the problems returned RC became un responsive and I would wait 3 mins or so before it would react to me.
The steps I used were
Started Active sky 6.5
opened RC (as administrator)
I loaded my flight plan into RC 4
started TrackIR v2
started FS9.1
Set up my flight sleecting my departure airport and airacraft (pss757)
The flight loaded at the gate
I waited a min or two for all ai and weather
Started RC and the window came up in FS9
I was then able to tune to the atis and thereafter the problems continued where RC would become un responsive to any commands. A couple of times it even froze with the , this program is not responding message so I had to kill it with task manager.
I tried turning of my AI traffice didn't help.
My FS9 set up is..
FS9.1
Fsinn 1.3
AS 6.5
TrackIR2
Latest FSUIPC
Latest make runways
This runs on a windows 7 32 machine, dual core processor at 3.2ghz with 4gb ram Nvdida graphics with 1gb ram
When I cheked the task manager I still had plenty of ram free and the processor only seemed to ever reach about 30% so it didn't seem "clogged up" FS9 was running smooth as normal with no issues or stutters only RC just kept freezing up.
One other thing that seemed to help was that I checked the manual and saw that you need to have a couple of config settings in active sky 6.5 configured so RC will work, I did this and it helped a little as I never got the " this program is not responding message". I will have another try this week but if there are any tips/advice it would be appreciated.
