Reason: PF3 uses the FSUIPC ADV display, but it only works until P3Dv4. I never could make it work in V5, and the popup window that PF3 offers as a workaround interferes with Lossless Scaling. If I understand correctly, RC4 also uses this ADV Display for P3Dv4 and older sims.

There are two separate zip files required to complete an installation. Make sure you download both. The installation instructions are in Part 2.

This frees me from providing links to those requesting the program. I’m grateful to Doug for agreeing to this. After 20 years it remains a quality ATC program.

It might be a day or so before they’re available. Hopefully I’ve made the installation notes clear. Let me know if you have a problem.

They’re located in Miscellaneous Files.

D/l the files from AVSIM and start a new install acc Ray´s Installation Instruction

But when I reach Pos 12. I do not get a new Key.

May I ask on this way for a new key?

Tks, Peter

I downloaded the Key Generator that is now available due to the well deserved "retirement" of the folks involved with RC4 V3.  I purchased the app many many moons ago, but needed a new key because of a system crash issue.  Got the information about the cloud version of Radar Contact now being freely available for downloading along with the key generator.  No instructions for key generation, however.

So that's what I need to know.  How do I generate and use the resulting key?

Thanks for any direction you can provide.

^{Q:    How, once I have asked for clearance, can I get RC to give taxi instructions to the active runway, as opposed to that which is referenced in my flight plan?}

I missed the stern critiques at the end of flight 🙂 

I just noticed @Ray Proudfoot is one of the voices featured as a controller!    Nice!   I'm very impressed, Ray!

My question is:      Are there any freeware sources of additional female PILOT voices?  I don't particularly like being represented by a MALE voice in ATC interactions.

I did look through a lot of posts to see if this question has already been answered but came up short.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Be aware the links in John Dekker's pinned post to the RC4 setup file and key generator no longer work. You'll get a prompt to login to an Apple account which I suspect is John's own.

Emails to his various accounts have been bounced and one to his personal account has not been answered.

If you require these files let me know. We can't host them on AvSim without John's or Doug's permission. I will give those needing them a link. You're advised to secure your own downloads.

After replacing all my files, incl RC43, I mad a few test flights today.

Everything goes well, except RC43 which was setup acc Ray´s excellent tutorial.  (before the crash it was working very well, as usual)

First A320 flight positioned at the gate, prepared RC with flightplan, flight number and so on.

Back into the cockpit, pushed "Start RC" and plop, P3Dv4.5 and RC both gone, Crash to the desktop.

No chance to keep both alive.

MakeRwys 4.91 as well as LorbySceneryExport and FSUIPC 6.2.2 (Registered copy) all installed

Need help,please

I d/l the 2 Rc43 files from AVSIM, followed the readme file and everything went well.

Except when I start RC43 for the first time: I got a screen which says that my RC43 is unregister and I have to fillout that form and sent to"Register@jdtllc.com to receive a key.

Qustion: Is this procedure still valid? If not, from where do I get that key?

^{On the last two or three flights I have been continuously chastised for not being at the correct flight level. Today according to the altimeter (PMDG 744) set to STD I was correct at 37000 FL370.} 

^{RC4 keeps telling me that I am not. If I reduce my altitude by 300Feet then RC4 is happy.}

^{This hasn't happened before and I can't think of anything that has changed.}

^{Funny thing is that my map program is reading the figures the same as RC4 and showing a lower altitude.}

^{My guess is that the error is with PMDG somehow.}

     Please send me a link to RCv4.

   Thanks,

Center frequency.  Wondering where RC gets the center frequency number from?  I can find the airports info in the F4 file and change those frequencies but cannot find the center frequency

to change it.

Thanks

Do I need an updated copy of makerwys.exe and if so, where can I find it?

I ran makerwys.exe directly myself and the same error message appeared, validating the definition of insanity.

Thanks!

I have installed RC4 and registered it, but it doesn't get very far because the above DLL is missing. The site that is mentioned elsewere in this forum is not available.

Can anyone help me obtain this file?

Thanks very much.

This seems to happen most often with the QW787 as other aircraft like the PMDG 777 don't have this problem as often, though it does occur.

The stuff I've found on the web hasn't been the most helpful, so I was wondering if there was a solution. Furthermore this issue doesn't even consistently appear with the QW787 so it's gonna take a few tests to identify if any fixes were helpful. My Sim is P3D 5.3 V2, and I use AIG AI traffic, outside of that I only use Toronto as my payware addon, and I don't believe this is an add on airport issue as this problem tends to come up during cruise, specifically when using the QW 787 flying outbound of certain airports, but even then which ones aren't consistent.

Thanks all.

Signed Jon.

Anybody know how to get this option back?

Thanks.

  I am long time user of RCV4 and have a new laptop that I am trying to install; RCV4 on.  My old Reg Key doesn't work.

When I try to access the key generator on the cloud,  I get an error message that the file is no longer there.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best to all,

Ken Boardman

Filename is Radar Contact v4.3 updated Transition Altitude file. Please refer to the included readme for installation instructions.
