Radar Contact Support Forum

I'd found this error dialog about fsuipc_wait during a previous flight and it didn't seem to adversely effect the flight, however, last night it happened twice and appeared to cause RC to pause: no ATC calls, no AI calls, nothing until I selected OK. After that, RC chugged along. I am curious about what this is trying to tell me and if there's anything I should be doing. I have FS9 and registered FSUIPC on an XPSP3 machine.Cheers!!

Need some help.

Hi JD & GuysI'm pulling my hair out here, 'cos I can't seem to do what i've done before....After a reistall of everything on my main PC and WideFS client PC, I can no longer get RC to work again across the network.I can get as far launching RC, and even load a flight plan across the network from the main PC.However, after selecting 'Controller Info' and then clicking 'OK', I get the 'Run-time error 75 - Path/File access error'.I've been through the manual again and double checked everything i can think of before posting here.All my other WideFS applications run correctly.But now i'm stumped - any ideas please?

Hi jd, i just wondered if in rc5 there will be an option for progressive taxi like in the default fs atc. i know this is not for all but i think it would be a nice option to have.Many regardschris

Dear RC developers,granted that RCv4 is a good software, a real improvement compared with default FS ATC, I have some suggestions for next releases:1 - RC should say: "turn left" or "turn right" during vectors.2 - It should recognise terrain altitudes during arrival/departures clearances in mountain areas.3 - RC should call back if pilot forgets to acknowledge. At the moment any further instructions seem to be frozen until key 7 pressing.Other less important improvements maybe:1 - add "direct to" short-cut instructions without pilot requesting.2 - "direct to" sometimes could be refused by ATC. 3 - add "number one/two/three to land" and "no delay" sentences4 - improve voic…

Today I took a flight from KSAN-PEBLE3-SXC-VTU-RZS-J501-BSR-BSR2-KSFO As RC vectord me down it came to a point where it told me to decent to flight level 110. So i did. As i leveled off to FL 110 RC then told me to turn to a heading of 351 which was in the complete opposite direction. I said OK maybe it something that they do. So i did and i kept going and i kept going and i kept going RC would just call up telling me to contact OAK and i did telling them my Altitude but never did they once tell me to turn around. after going in that heading for 97 NM i turned of the simulator off. AN hour and a half flight time wasted. Very annoyed

Hi thereI never use Radar Contact V4, because the interface look like horrible for me, "my point of view", but everything else is just awesome from all the review i read.If RC could replace the Unicom or more on the Ivao or Vatsim, it would be great, even for a monthly subscription.It is possible ?Benjamin

hello folks im needing to know what is the proper procedures to change flightplans in mid flight.for instances im going from kind to ctty and i decide i want to change course and go to another destination say kjfk.why does it have to be an emergency, and then it ask me what flight level to fly at.im sure in the real world if the boss ask you to change plans and go here instead, that you can change a flight plan in mid flight without it being a emergency.or perhaps im doing it wrong.what is the proper precedures to follow.thanks............Robert

I am new to RC and I have a very basic problem and hopefully there is any easy answer. I am running FSX on Vista 64. The RC menu is not responding to any keyboard commands, e.g when I press "1" on the keyboard I am not getting any communication response for clearance. I have checked to make sure that the com radio is tuned to the correct frequency although I have to manually tune it because with ctrl+shift+L my com radio is not automatically tuning into the correct frequencies. It just seems that FSX is not recognizing any of the hotkeys for RC. I have saved the keyboard configuration and restarted FSX, but still nothing. Thanks for any help.

Hi,After a six hour flight I was descending with the Level D 767 towards Istanbul airport.Approach vectored me on an intercept with the rwy 06 ils, which the AP capturedI was using manual throttle with my Saitek joystick. My approach speed was high I admit-3 miles from the rwy I was at 170 kts. So the g/s was a relative steep descent at 1000 ft/sec.Just a mile from the the t/d zone, RC told me to go around. Since I was tired and ready for bedtime, I decided to land anyway, knowing good ol' Bill Stevens would call me soon. Which he did of course.What I want to know is what the flight critique said. I didn't catch most of it but it was something about my glidepathDoes RC mo…

Is there anyway for ATC to tell you clear for takeoff without the taxi into position and hold like they do in real life

Why does RC vector me to a runway that is 2678ft, when I'm flying a 737-400? There is a more suitable runway which is in use for said aircraft.

I have tried several times to do the tutorial KMSP-KORD flight with the Wilco/FeelThere 737PIC. Everthing works great until I am vectored to a runway approach. It seems that I am being told to turn into a heading to intercept the localizer almost right at the extended extended center line, rather than sufficiently before it. What this means is that I am consistently missing the localizer because I overshoot and wind up on the "wrong side" of it.Let's use my last flight as an example. I was given RWY 32R ILS. I am flying at a right angle to the runway, 12 miles out (nearly over Midway). A mile and a half before I would cross the extended centerline at 12 miles distan…

Now here is the thing every time i fly i use a sid and star everything goes fine with the sid but when it comes to the star ATC steers me away from it from a far distance and then it does not follow the Speed restrictions. If ATC always takes you out of your star then what is the use of using one :( ?

can you speed up the sim and still use radar contact and are there any side effects

Is it me, or do other people feel they are being given instructions to decend to the crossing restriction altitude a little late for some aircraft decent rates?

question already answered. No need to reply anymore.

As far as RC is concerned, what is the proper way of handling ATC directives to reduce speed to 250 kts when at or below 10,000' but the aircraft is simply too heavy to fly it clean at that speed ?ThanksZach

Hi All,Am a new user of RC but have not installed it yet but I've been going through the manual and also the forum looking at variuos posts and just have few questions I'm currently using FS9 ?1) On the tutorials does it matter what 737 / Aircraft you use as I noticed it says sending the flight plan to the B737 GPS as I was thinking of using PMDG 737/747 as example?2) Am I still ok to export the flight plan to ASV and still ok to use ASV?. Or would you recommend to use the weather function in FS9? I did see that you need to untick couple of settings in ASV as this conflicts the ATIS message3) On the tutorials it mentions about selecting push back and start with some of my…

A few things I've noticed with RC which I hoped for better are things such as, not having to get permission to cross a runway where to taxi to the active runway or the ramp would require so. I know it's not the real world, but in the real world, you'd have to 'hold short of' and then get cleared to cross. And I've also had other aircraft and vehicles taxi past me with no ATC intervention, even other aircraft on approach.Another thing is if you're 5 seconds late in climbing to the next altitude, ATC get angry and 'say again' and if you accidently press '1' instead of '7' when told to exit at the next high speed (which doesn't even exist on most airfields, not all have a hi…

I just want to know because i want to try it and i know i will have to use the 3d cockpit but i want to make sure that it will work together.

Hi There, I have a start up problem with RC 4.3 I start MSFS then start up RC load the flight plan etc the RC Ready window appears and then the Airport ATIS starts to run without any prompting from me. Do I have an incorrect setting in FSUIPC.Any help would be appreciated.Thank younavyman

Hello friends,I've just installed and registered correctly Radar Contact 4.3 in my new Vista (Home edition) HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook.The first thing I did was trying to change the default pilot voice and I had this error:Run-time error '75':RadarContact.rcv4module.pilot_ackAny ideas why this is happening?Thanks in advanceCarloscarloch from GCLP Canary Islands

Hi,Have you guys ever though about creating your own Navdata the way other commercial developers do? That would make life (and ATC realism) much easier. The user would have a certain flexibility with requesting DIRECT-TO vectors in flight or using predetermined fixed and NAVaids.What do you think about it?

Trying to install and get subject error when I attempt to rebuild database. Path to FSX is included properly.Please advise. This is on Vista.Tim Capps
