X-Plane 10.45r2 Never mind, self-solved. Finally realized the Com Radio sound level was zeroed out. It apparently affects all spoken voices. Thanks! Stephen OHearn

All of a sudden my AFE has gone silent. All of the sounds of switches, engines, etc. all work. Yet the speaking responses of the AFE do not. I can play the WAV files with Quicktime no problem. I have restarted and even re-installed the DC-6. All I can think of is that I did an Abort earlier and since then he is speechless. How do I get it back?

"Don't forget to add your name to your posts, please." I tried to find where I can that but didn't. Must be on the floor with my flight plan. Ha. ha. BTW the early jets weren't much better than props. I remember some scary times in early KC-135s.

The AFE does things based on the checklist flow in play. That's fine until your flight plan is toast. What if I need to do a go around? I'll want to firewall the aircraft. Instead I'm expected to choose the best flow? I'll try the "Abort" button. Thanks for the advice on planning my flight.

It seems I can command pretty much everything by keyboard except the engines. Yes, I know, get a throttle. But I kind of like the flexibility of the keyboard too. I know I can't just throttle back to flight idle like a jet but can't I adjust power when I need it? Is the AFE locking the keyboard out? Can I slap him so he stops? I tried yelling at him when we were about to fly into the ground but to no avail. I had to order a run of the checklist to get climb power.
