HELP!! Everytime I start R.C I get a Grren Text box across the top of my screen. I have Text Mess. Disabled!! Also haveing trouble with planes with mutiable panels like the DF 310. Throtle panels start coming up Behind the main panel instead of in front when using R.C. Have the latest releases of RC and Advdisp. Please help. Love this program.

Tried the new 3.1 Build J.D., has me flying 180 degrees opposite of what I should. Started a flight from KSJC to KBFI to Seattle, northbound. The heading to Redbluff (RBL) was 165 degrees!! I reinstalled the prior 3.1 beta and works just fine now. Why did it flip me around like that!!????Randy Jura, KPDX

I'm not at all sure it is a problem with the newest RC v3.1 build 2178, but on my first test flight, the 737-400 autopilot ceased to work properly when approaching FL330. It rather pitched the plane upwards and into a stall. I can't remember having experienced anything similar before. I tried to request a lower level (290) but same problem there.Any hints - either RC related or not ?

Anyone else with Win XP Pro haveing problems running in "high" priority. I can get it to run in realtime but it won't load in high priority. Is there a fix for this. Have the newest version loaded. Thanks

On a few Short Flights recently, Ive heared the Pilot's voice repeatthe Commands - ie Contact center on etc.... but not the Initial command from ATC ????It does sort its- self out by the time I begin my decent & receive Landing Vectors ?any Ideas any-oneKevs

Just for information to be released in the future updates: EPWW Control uses "RADAR" call sign , not Control and not Center."Warsaw Radar"Chris (VATSIM ATC candidate)

Hi Jon-Should I try your latest build with the Gold version of FS4?Thanks,Howard

I had to re-install 767 PIC, when I did, for whatever reason the pull down adv display is not there anymore. I do get the green scroll bar across the top but thats it. Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to re-install this great ATC sim. Thankyou.

I am a newbee to both RC v3 & Active sky. I have upgraded rc v3 to rc v3.1. when I use rc v3.1 and active sky separetely with fs2002 they work perfect. when I use them together with fs2002 it crashes. I have read some tips on this forun about changing the the pirority rc v3.1 but this is not working in windows XP. when I tried to change rc v3.1 target, it keeps giving me this shortcut message ---THE NAME 'C:PROGRAMS FILESRCV30RCV3.EXE/HIGH' SPECIFIED IN TARGET BOX IS NOT VALID.I have also installed the latest ADV DISPLAY. please can anyone help.

Hi,I downloaded the new build 2871 and tried a flight from KDEN to KSLC, about a quarter way through on inital climb I lost one engine so I declared an emergency. Was vectored back to Denver I was at 10,000 feet when approach told me I was one (1) mile from the marker approach at such and such heading at such altitude.I don't know if I did something wrong or what, but basically I was on top of the airport when I was told to approach the ILS.I saved the file if you need it.Sean

HiRC3 used run OK but having installed 3.1 i'm getting an error message after a lot of HD activity:-Just Tried to run and getting error content - Appname: rcv31.exe AppVer: 3.10.0.2169 ModName: kernal32.dll Modver: 5.1.2600.0 Offset: 00017df0Please help me overcome this problemthanksBob Wright

Will there be an SDK that lets Full integration with FS2004? Or something that interacts with all traffic? ie ..talking to traffic in- sim(ultimate traffic etc.) and not just recorded chatter?Thank you

Compliments to JD et al for the RC3.1 upgrade ...A few things that was 'way cool':1. As I taxied to SFO1 1R tower gave me position and hold on 1R. I get into position, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, .... I happen to keep my forward zoom at 0.60 so at first I did not notice the 3 aircraft taxiing to 28L/R for departure - and needing to cross 1R to do so. As I watched the third clear 1R, tower came back and cleared me to takeoff. :-cool2. As we know, the major update was the AI traffic advisories. It was nice in the previous version to have simulated traffic advisories, but its a totally difference experience to be vectored for approach and getting traffic ad…

Greetings, Does anyone out there have experience in using the RC co-pilot with the CS 727? I tried a flight the other night, and with the autopilot heading and altitude hold engaged "otto" didn't seem to be able to follow ATC commands.This happens ONLY when using the CS727.Thanks,RPM.

Im revisiting this problem because I really want to get Radar Contact reinstalled. So, if youve seen this before, just roll your eyes and ignore it.But surely there's some way to whip this, and maybe a littlemore brainstorming will help ...HHERE'S THE SITUATIONI recently upgraded by computer to Windows XP, mainly by doing a clean install on my E: partition. I still have it installed under the Win98 secondary OS. When I try to run it under XP, it says comdlg32.ocx no registered or installed or whatever.However, when I try to install it under WinXP, it says it cannot create temp file. This probably due to insufficient space on the partitiion.My properties window shows I hav…

Hello!I just installed Radar Contact 3 this weekend and I have to say that this is a great program! It really enhances the ATC of MSFS.Now, I own the game commander 2 program and have just downloaded the speech buddy program. I was wondering if any of you fine radar contact users are using either of these programs with radar contact version 3?If so, could you give me some advice on how to set either game commander or speech buddy up to make it work with radar contact 3?Also, does anyone have a speech file already created that works with one of these speech recognition programs to operate radar contact?Any suggestions are appreciated!Happy Simming and God Bless our troops!…

i'm going to do something, that we haven't done in the past. make available a release that is still in beta. rest assured, this thing has been tested, a lot. but with what 3.1 does, interact with ground ai, and ai on final, there needs to be a more diverse group of testers than my group. so if you want to see what we have been working on the last 6 months, download it, and give it a trywww.jdtllc.com/v3/rcv31.zipyou will also need to make sure you have the latest set of wav fileshttp://avsim.com/flightdeck/rcv3/RCWavUpdateFULL.zipthis zip file assumes you have controllers 11 and 12. if you don't, then you MUST downloadhttp://avsim.com/flightdeck/rcv3/11.zip and http://avs…

I recently purchased a new computer (specs in signature) and installed RC3.0 on it. I also installed RC3.1 beta and the new wav files. I have tried 2 flights, both with similar results. In today's flight (KMSN-KORD) everything was fine through clearance, ground, turning over comms to OTTO and takeoff. After tower told us to contact departure, OTTO did, but there was no response from tower. Instead, OTTO immediately read back her response to what was obviously a new heading and altitude assigned by tower. I continued on the old heading and after a while OTTO again gave a response "Roger" to some instruction that was never heard. Some other info: - I have tried this …

Hi friends,today during my "daily" flight from LGAV to EDDV i decided to change destination (first attempt ever!)I input LOWG-Graz as a new destination and RCv3.1 requested me altitude and cleared direct to my new destination; the direct heading to LOWG was 320

This was my third flight on my new PC with Windows XP. The first two times when i was flying in a B737, everything was perfect - including Radar Contact. However - today, flying a LearJet, the sound insisted in getting weird. That's the sound of the controllers, the pilot and the co-pilot. Sounded like they had a soar throat.Now - i'm not ruling out totally that it can be windows, though i don't have any problems in any of the other applications. And i have neither installed - removed or changed any settings.Have anyone else experienced sound problems like this?It was the same whether i used vers. 3.01 or 3.10.Btw. I changed the time some 10 min. during the flight - and t…

Hi there.I have installed RC3.1 and now I got this problem of not being ableto use FDC if activated before RC.If I activate RC first and after this FDC I can use FDC but not RC.Anybody else having this problem?Carel.

Have any of the Beta testers or those who have received the Gold copies, tested RC with it yet? If so, how did it behave? If it didn't work because of the pending module from Peter, will it be ready when the retail version is out in a couple of weeks?Just wondering,Paul

Hi friends,i usually fly using, as well documented in RC manual, two cable linked PC's and so both RCv3 and FS2k2 ATC.Just one thought: is there a way, when approaching final destination, to anticipate FS2k2 ATC menu airport option? CAnnot see my destination apt in the list.I want to say that i'd like to follow FS2k2 pattern instructions but often they're not available when RCv3 approach give me vectors for final approach and so i have to accept those vectors and then change rwy (maybe when i'm already close to apt).Thanks in advance for helpingLuigi ;-)

Since I put in recent files the last descent message is to flight level zero zero. This occurs after a normal clearance to descend when feasible to 3k (or whatever). But the last descent clearance is always as above. Must be something chopped out of a .wav file. No problem, but thought you would want to know.

Sorry for posting again, but after installing V 3.01 I still have both this ugly syntetic chatter on ground and dep frequency and the slow controller
