Radar Contact Support Forum

Hi friends,today i took a short flight from Stockolm Arlanda to Joensuu Finland (wonderful addon scenery grabbed at FSNordic site).RC controller info only have tower and ATIS but not ground, departure or arrival; does it mean that EFJO is a non terminal airport?Is that possible with 2 ILS, one for each rwy (11 - 28)?Think i need help on managing this kind of approach, infact, when about 80 miles off EFJO controller told me something i did not understand and the available options were 1)affirmative 2)negative.I selected affirmative and went through a menu until ILS Rwy28; after that controller started giving instructions again but...Can anyone explain in simple words how d…

Have tried several of the suggestions found on the forum to speed upcontrollers speech. I'm running Windows XP Home.My original shortcut target reads "C:Program Filesrcv30rcv3.exe"This is what I added to the shortcut target.%comspec% /C "start /ABOVENORMAL C:Program Filesrcv30rcv3.exe"When I start RCV3 (with 3.1 installed) I get this message.Windows cannot find 'C:Program'Make sure you typed the name correctly,etc.,etc.Also noted that my icon for the shortcut changed to a dos icon...What am I doing wrong....Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,Anyone using mytraffic ? It works ???Thanks,Ulisses

I just got a new computer with win xp pro.I don't understand Ray Proudfoot's explanation on how to speed up the voices.I do what he says but it tells me I have an invalid path.RC 3 is in program files.I did it with my old unit with win me.Do I need PRC View?I typed in start/ABOVENORMAL c:radarcontact3rcv3.exe.Also,there was an explanation a few months back on how to eliminate some of the controllers voices if you are only flying in the US.Can someone steer me to that also?Thanks,Ron

Are there any add on voices for RCV3 from foreign countries. I mean, ATC voices that speak english with an accent from whatever country they are from?

I am getting a new computer and will reinstall rc3.Some time back there were instructions on how to set the contoller voices in the winwood file to stricktly US.Could someone please direct me to that post?Thanks,Ron

Hi, I am trying to conduct a flight with RC v3.0. Im trying to go from OMDB (dubai) to OJAI (Amman). The wx and clearance delivery works fine, even the push and start works great! However when I near the runway and try to contact the tower, nothing happens! The menu won't change and no communications are heard. I even tried calling the tower for my takeooff from the gate! it worked and Abort takeoff was displayed, however I could not use that option and even after takoff the menus did not work or change! Pls I desperatly need someone to help me! Any help will be appriciated. Thanks for any help:)rmaan.

I am planning to make a first ever transoceanic flight. How will RC301 handle this?I would like to depart in the evening to arrive in the morning. I know there is a feature to pause at 200 miles. I suspect that I will be able to take control with RC then for vectoring etc.I am curious though as to what happens during the overnight period when I am asleep. As I will probably be flying a PSS or MelJet 747 with PSS panel, will I be receiving traffic deviation calls that cannot be handled by the non-standard autopilot? Or will RC just follow the NAT track?Any help is appreciated.Thanks Dom

Those who enjoy using real-world flight plans with RC3 might like to know that I've just released 115 plans for various types of Regional Jet aircraft in *.pln format. The plans cover a wide variety of UK internal and UK-Europe flights and are available from the libraries at AVSIM.com and Flightsim.com as 'rj_fpl.zip'.PeteP

Hey Guys,Question about a flight I made yesterday. Plan was from KPBF to KCHA using RC v 3.1 and Active Sky v 1.5 weather. Shortly after takeoff I handed the comms and plane over to the co-pilot. Didn't notice the altimeter until instructed to descend to FL140. After leveling off at FL140 the altimeter stayed at 29.92. It stayed that way the rest of the flight and I didn't get yelled at. Made a couple of quick checks and finally looked at the transition level. It was set at 0. This was the first chance I'd had to play with RC 3.1 since I updated from 3.0 to 3.1. That explained that part.Now...... reloaded the same flight with the correct transition level set in …

Good day all.I have posted my last preview and status information before release of ACLoader V4. You can read the information from the ACLoader link in my sig.Also, if you have questions, comments, or would like to swap aircraft data files (and soon route data records), please Visit the New ACLoader Support Forum][/b.I also have a request there for a few more testers. If you are a fan of ACLoader, or have never used it before, please visit the forum and read the announcement.ACLoader is scheduled for release on 1 April, and I think this will actually happen. Almost everything is set up and ready to go. The manual will be freely available within the week. This time I …

jd, I'm getting a new computer built which I pick up today. I've asked my builder to copy over my old C drive onto my new one. It will be in a folder called OldC. If I reinstall RC3.0 from the CD then copy over all the files from OldC, will RC work? Or will I require a new key? I've rearranged some of the voices in the Wav files that I want to keep. I'm giving my old computer up to my wife so she doesn't need FS2k2 or RC :-lol SteveOld sys: AMD900 Mhz 640Mb PC133 SDRAM 40Ghz 7200RPM HD Hercules 3D Prophet II MX 32Mb (GeF2)New sys: P4 2.4 Ghz 533Mhz FSB 512Mb PC266 DDR RAM 80Ghz 7200RPM HD Ti4200 128Mb GeForce4

Hi;I'm posting this here because I have had a worsening of this problem since installing RC 3. My cursor, both in FS Navigator and on my FS2k2 screen fades and at times is all but invisible. I seem to remember a suggestion for a fix for this and I think it was in something I was reading about RC.Can anyone help? Thanks;Hank

HI, I was just wondering since FSTraffic2002 is getting ready to come out.... Would there be any compatibility issues with RCV3?? I realize that FSTraffic creates it's own traffic and I didn't know whether RC is solely based on FS2002's AI traffic or if it's flexible with other "traffic" creating software. Thanks for any help!!

>> 2. The Target entry determines how Radar Contact will start. Copy and Paste one of the following entries over the existing one amending the path to RCV3.EXE as necessary.%comspec% /C "start /ABOVENORMAL E:RadarContact3rcv3.exe" <

I have settled on a particular config for 3.01 that some may find interesting/usefull. When I fly with RC it is usually in conjunction with FS_Meteo (5.1) and S-Combo. My machine is an AMD 1.33 with 512Mb of primary and a GF4 MX420, running Win2K Pro.I use the following shortcut to invoke RC:%comspec% /C "start /ABOVENORMAL F:FS2002AddonRCv3rcv3.exe" /highI've tried just using the args to rcv3 with the following results: "/low" <- RC takes many minutes to get setup and running, and then doesn't want to respond in flight. "/high" <- slow speech, no better than running with 'Normal' exe priority. "/realtime" <- fluid speech, but RC sometimes won't respond t…

Can I have a complete list of all the airlines supported by RC. Some airlines were notoriously left out by FS2002. This would be heaven sent if all airlines are included. I am looking for a few in particular.

I keep seeing folks mention having the "patch" for V3 installed. Does it exist or is it still in beta? I dont see any mention of any patch on the RC3 web page.

Hi, I have just installed rcv3.01 that supported activesky wxre 1.6, but I noted that rcv3.01 does not work correctly because it does not support transition level altitude (normally 18000 feet); someone can help me?

My very first time "at bat." Got the info entered in the Options Tab o.k. but when I try to make entries in the CONTROLLER TAB all the info is shaded and will not accept any typing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.Darden Newman

I haven't been issued a hold the last couple of flights with holding option set at 100%. I seem to remember that you have to have a VOR within 5 miles of your arrival airport. Does it have to be the last waypoint? I've set up STAR approaches and included the VOR as my last waypoint (right AT the airport) so it will be part of my flightplan although I don't actually ever fly to it.When I used to get the holds, I was usually straight on to the VOR and was issued the hold 40 +/- miles out. Now with the STARs, I'm not straight on to the VOR. Could this be the problem?Can someone help my poor addlepated mind recall how to set this up properly? *:-*Thanks, Adam
