OK Glynn, I'll try the next few flights with Traffic X set to 0% and will maybe add a little to the VOX ATC traffic setting. Thanks Not trying to be pedantic Glynn, but when you say it will only use whatever traffic program I have installed to generate its traffic, I didn't install any traffic program as it uses its own. So there isn't a way I can install traffic X into VOX ATC?

It was my understanding that VOX ATC could be used with other traffic programs. I realise this could be the problem, but when VOX ATC's indexer (which updates runways, airports etc) is run I notice it includes the Traffic X files, which would say that it is recognising the Traffic X add on. Maybe it isn't though.

The thing is, I don't want to stop the avoidance instructions. This is a good feature, but its not working at the correct times. It's instructing me to avoid aircraft that are not there, but also not instructing me to avoid aircraft that are there which are causing conflict.

Firstly, apologies Rob for calling you Helix Everything you are describing is what is happening to me, including the planes disappearing when taxiing. As for looking elsewhere, I would only swap to another voice recognition atc which also uses SIDS and STARS as I enjoy working with charts and real procedures. If you do switch from VOX to another ATC, let me know and I will look into it.

Sounds like you are having exactly the same problems. I also get these avoidance warnings, but then sometimes Vox ATC will change my course due to a 'conflict at my level' when there isn't an actual aircraft to avoid. Really annoying. Its a pity because I quite like the program but these are quite important issues. I also don't like the way traffic just appears out of nowhere on my MFD radar and can suddenly disappear, like the aircraft are just vanishing. Do you have that problem also Helix?

I have VOX ATC set to 35%, Traffic X set to only 12% and AI traffic in FSX set to 0%. I really do feel as if Vox atc isn't understanding where certain aircraft are. Ive just had another flight where I had a very near miss at FL360. I literally had to descend immediately and the two aircraft missed within 0.5 miles. Surely this cant be right. Since ive dropped to these settings the traffic seems at a nice level, however I'm still getting these conflicts.

I'm tending to agree with you, I believe it is Traffic X aircraft which don't seem to be recognised by VOX ATC. I'm going to turn this setting to zero to see if I get better results. I knew there was a setting to force a holding pattern but it would be nice if the ATC assigned a one due to busy incoming traffic. Ok, i'll also try a flight with a pre set holding pattern.

Hi. I am now using Vox ATC with Flight Simulator X and have got to say I really like it. However, there are a couple of issues which I need advice on. 1. When I am in flight, there is many a time where I come into conflict with other aircraft. For instance, when I am approaching the airport (localizer level), often there are other aircraft landing at the same time. The ATC does not apply any separation. I have never been put into a holding pattern yet and I have had many flights. I have the traffic setting on 50%. I am successfully using SIDS and STARS, but there are no holding patterns assigned to me. Another instance is when I'm at cruise level, the TCAS system sometimes warns me of other Aircraft and i've had quite a few near misses. However, sometimes ATC tells me to change course, due to conflicting aircraft, at other times. So my question is, why are other aircraft too close and why haven't I ever been put into a holding pattern? 2. When in flight, I see aircraft appearing and disappearing on radar and in the sky a lot of the time. I'm finding this quite frustrating. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I have the AI aircraft turned to zero in FSX settings. I would appreciate any help or advice. Thanks GH
