Hi Dave, My Chatter volume is way to loud and if I go to the Windows Mixer Volume and turn it down (I have it at 4 to get it reasonable) then my ATC communications are to soft (with all of their volumes set to 100%). I also tried using the Volume controls on the P2A COM Frequency pop-up window but they seem to have no affect. I have all my chatter and ATC communications coming through my headset, with all other P3D v4.5 sounds playing through my SoundBlaster speakers. Also wondering if there was a way to have the P2ATC ATIS also play through my headset...it now comes through the system speakers. Thanks for the help. Garry

Thanks Alan...got it. Garry

Downloaded the AH DC-3 and went looking for the Sextant Manual they say is included...can't find it. Sent inquiry to their Help email several days ago and no reply. Can anyone tell me where I can get the manual? Thanks, Garry

David, Okay...new information. As I said...even though it gives me the TOD error message I still get a green box on the validate and a green box on the file. So I went ahead and did the flight. Appears to work. I got ground to give me Flight Following, then to give me taxi instructions and pass me over to tower who gave me takeoff clearance. That's as far as I went since it is a 3+ hr. flight (you had said something about such a short flight...but it's over 3 hours) so I'm assuming it works in spite of the error message. Garry

I have tried different altitudes from 5,500' to 16,500' , different Decent Rates from 500 fpm to 5,000 fpm. Did not try different airspeeds since the aircraft (Beech Duke Piston) can only do what it can do. I'll email you the .vbf file now. Thanks, Garry

Thanks for looking into that for me...however, when I take the two airports/waypoints out of the flight plan I still get the TOD Calculation Error (see attached screen shot). What's strange is that even though I get the TOD error...the box still turns green. But then when I try to "File" the flight plan, once I Connect with the Sim, I again get the error message, but, again the "File" box turns green. I've tried changing my FL and Decent Rates, but no help. Only thing I haven't done is actually try to do the flight, even though I've gotten the error message. Sorry to be such a bother. Garry

In P3D v4.5 HF2 flying the RealAir Duke B60. Trying a flight where I want to TKO and Land at same airport to do a Sightseeing trip, while flying over two other airports on the way (flight plan attached from Little NavMap). When try to validate I get the Error Message about changing FL, Airspeed or decent rate. So tried changing each of them...no joy. I originally imported the FP from Little NavMap but then tried creating the same plan from scratch in P2ATC...no joy. Looked at forum and saw several posts with same problem and tried turning off "Safe Enroute Alutitude"...no joy. Finally found had to delete the return to the original airport and just do the flight plan to SVCN (one of the airports I just wanted to fly over) and then do a separate FP back to my original airport. I should also say I tried deleting the other two airports from the plan and added a 4th VOR (got one message that said I needed 4 waypoints when departing and returning to same airport)...no joy. Would appreciate any help on what I'm doing wrong. Garry

Thank you John...you led me to do some testing that finally got it working. Yes the aircraft is in the P3D Add-ons folder...but so are many other aircraft that Vox does recognize. So I started looking at what was different about this aircraft and the others. Focused on the "add-on.xml". As I compared what it had vs. the others, several things were vastly different. So, I made a copy of the original and started changing the entries so the format and structure looked exactly like those in the other aircraft...wal-la...it worked. So thanks for this lead...it got me looking in the right place. Garry

Loaded new aircraft (MJ C-47 PBR) into P3D v4.5 HF2. Panel Setup does not recognize the aircraft (does not show up on list). Have run Indexer several times as well as restarting windows 10...no help. So I manually put in the necessary text into the panel.cfg file. When I load aircraft am able to pull of the VoxATC panel in the aircraft...it "initializes" as normal but then says "Startup failed, unknown FS aircraft type Douglas C-47 Finnair PBR" (see attached screen shot). Found previous post somewhat like this advising to use the Panel Setup to delete panels from all aircraft...did that but new aircraft still does not show up and still get the error message. Help Please.

Sorry Ron...Manfred specifically stated that the older paints would not work on the new PBR version. Your PAA paint was also one of my most used on the previous version...would love to have you update so I could use on the new PBR version...please. Thanks, Garry

That’s exactly what I need...thorough and fair. I consider the MJ model, and A2A, to be the gold standards so want to see where this falls. Thanks. Garry

Hey Alan...looking forward to your review...not going to buy until then. Thanks, Garry

That post did not come up on my search. That fixed it so thanks very much for that info. So I guess the ATC Aircraft Type Name Editor is not functional. Wish the developer had said that in the manual as I've spend hours trying to make that change. Thanks again, Garry

Done...thanks. Garry

Using V 7.42 in P3D v4 on a Windows 10, 64bit machine. Tried to change the ATC call sign on an aircraft. Opened the Type Name Editor, found the aircraft (only two of the 7 textures were shown)...changed the name as I wanted, saved, ran "indexer"...but nothing changed. VoxATC still refers to aircraft with old name and requires I use old name. Searched through this forum and only found posts from 2007 that had different issue. Thanks for any help. Garry

That worked perfectly...thank you very much. Garry

Okay...thanks...think I understand. Will give it a try in the next couple of days (working on another project currently) and post results. Thanks again for all you help. Garry

I did install the UK language pak...and Hazel works in Vox...but the others don't. I see when I opened the Registry Editor that Hazel is in both locations. I also see that when I use the Registry Editor I don't get all those lines of text you show above. I get a folder titled "Attributes" and then when I open that I just get as you see on the attached screen shot. I've never touched the Registry Editor so I probably should not be even considering this...unless: When you say "really adept"...I'm not You say just copy the "specific entries"...not sure what you mean by "specific entries". Are you referring to all those lines of text i see above...or...are you saying just copy the folder (as example - MSTTS_V110_enAU_CatherineM folder) from the "Speedh_OneCore" to the "Speech" area? My guess is when you read my questions your going to say don't try it. Thanks Garry

Sorry...should have thought to include that info. It's VoxATC 742, for P3D v4 and I'm on a 64bit W10 machine. As I said they work when I tested them in Windows...just Vox doesn't even recognize they are there. Thanks Garry

MDFlier, Thanks for reply but I can't do that as I want to keep my GA AI. Found a solution from SOH Forum...just have to pull out of the SimObjects/Airplanes folder the native P3D aircraft files...which I did and that fixed it.

I downloaded all the Microsoft English voices and installed them. They all work when I tested them in Windows but when I try to assign them in the VoxATC Voice Configuration I only have Great Briton Hazel available. Any ideas how to fix? Garry

Thank you...that's fantastic. I'll look at AIFP and try it out. If I read this correctly I could substitute some Orbx GA aircraft for the default P3D GA aircraft to get more variety...and get more of my CalClassic aircraft flying by putting them into the default P3D flight plans (wonder if a DC-3 can do 450 kts?). I could also modify the routes so that the Mooney's aren't flying at FL 210. This looks like it could be absolutely great. Thanks, Garry

Also posted this on the P3D forum. I want to use the CalClassic airline traffic and not the P3D v4 native airline traffic...problem is both use the traffic slider for control of traffic density. So if I move the slider to "0" I also loose the CalClassic airline traffic. I also don't want to disable the "trafficAircraft.bgl" file as I use the native P3D v4 GA traffic. Anyone have a solution? Or does anyone know of a good GA traffic add-on...I have Orbx GA traffic, which is great, but only really useful in the Western Regions. Thanks for any help, Garry

With me it happens even when taxing (7 - 9 fps). As soon as I break ground the FPS goes to normal...as soon as I land it goes back to the very low fps.

Your right...guess I never flew in the rain with this aircraft before. I tested it with real world conditions of rain, just to make sure it wasn't something to do with the AS4 scenario you used. I have mine limited to 30 fps in NVIDIA but she slowly worked her way down to about 8 - 12 fpm while on the ground. As soon as I took off went up to 30 fpm. Then when I landed it again, worked it's way down to 8 - 12 fpm. Have you reported this to Andrey at AT Simulations? Interesting...never saw anything like this before.
