Radar Contact Support Forum

I have sent two emails over the last two weeks based on the pinned "how to send a log file". I have not had a responce.Have the emails been received?

I installed RC on second PC under WideFS and use Showtext. Start flight LFLC-EDDM Everything worked fine until takeoff. After T/O ATC said contact approach (EDDM approach with its frequency 131,22) . But in AdVDisp window was no approach choice. Which also shouldnt be. So ATC started to warn me "i say agani" or something like that. I coudnt do anything. Use FS9 Have Home cockpit. Use Opencockpits Radio modules (Comm, Transponder etc.) and GoFlight Push Button unit programmed with FSUIPC so that i can use buttons for RC selections (1..8) System is Win7 Ultimate 64. Add-On's are ASE and AES. Flight plan with FSBuild 2.Regards

Hello..I fly airbus320 Tiger airways..Tiger airways is missing in the callsign list :(Is it possible to get a little patch, so I can find it at the list in future :)Chris from Denmark

I'm hoping this is an easy question to get an answer on. Is RCv4 compatable with FDC live cockpit?:(

So my earlier issue of high baro pressures causing RC4 to bark at me for busting altitude was resolved by adjusting the variable of altitude from 300 feet to 500 feet. Now I have another interesting situation. In 3 of the last 4 flights, RC4 has purposefully delayed my approach for either 'flight separation' issues or 'congestion'. One such flight was at 12:30am and there wasn't ANY traffic inbound to KAUS at that time. Today on a flight to KHOU I was given vectors as a delay then basically forgotten about until I was more than half way back to the DFW area. Is there a config file somewhere I can adjust to prevent RC4 from delaying me like that? Yes, I have UT2 installed.…

I hope you can increase the time delays between instruction and complaining from ATC.When I'm asked to climb or descend, it will often expect me to perform impossible tasks like climing at 10,000 ft per minute ! ATC will tell me over and over that I've "busted my blah, blah, blah...." after giving me like 10 seconds to start descending or climbing. Equally, if I miss a waypoint - maybe my FMC and RC flightplans are slightly different - it will tell me to "Fly heading of x degrees"... (to get back on course), and then as soon as I acknowledge, it tells me I'm not following the instruction... this cycle can continue for 6 iterations, before I get the time to ask for a direc…

Perusing the board I see RC5 being mentioned, am I missing something? Is there a new version nearing fruition?Well Just in case there is, I have 2 questions.Is it FS9 compatible?Will I loose my wonderful MCE/RC4 affair?

Hi Everyone, Not sure what the problem could be but sometime I get a message from ATC to do something (ex. Contact XXX) and when I hit the keystroke on the keyborad nothing happens. The command is not recieved by RC4. I have tested other command like F11 (outside view) and that work well. It seem that sometime RC4 is not getting the keystroke.I run RC4 on the main machine as FSX. I know the keyboard worksAny hint or tips would be appreciatedPierre

Have had RC for awhile but have just recently started using it (In my normal fashion, jump into program, dosen't work right, yell at computer, go read manual) A little confused on DEP Procedure. Loaded plan from Ksan to Klax from fsbuild as follws : KSAN to KLAX@12000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / CLSTR.BOKNE.MAFAN.LNSAY.PACIF.MINOE.ALBAS.FERMY.POPPR. When I took off and changed to departure freq was never given a turn to heading instruction like I'm used to with fs9 ATC. Upon reading it sounds like I won't if my first waypoint is less than 30 mi out. (I think) So I kept going and finally just turned and headed into my flight plan but decided just to vector to the closest waypoint …

Since I installed ASE sp2 (Build: 642) I have a similar problem as Al Jordanhttp://forum.avsim.net/topic/321035-rc-pauses-starting-40nm-crossing/but my setup is different, so I start a new thread.I takes more than the allotted 4 minutes to get weather, no matter if I have the comms or Otto. There is a long delay before and after I get the information. After this RC response is normal.I run FSX and ASE (depiction mode: standard) and UT2 (commercial traffic 40%, GA 20%) on the same PC. RC4 (no pre-recorded chatter, no display text) runs on the client PC.FSUIPC.ini has UseASEweather=Yes.FSUIPC is 4.641WideClient is 6.837agutz

Hi jd and all testers,A growing trend in European airspace is that at lots of major airports all aircraft are being allowed faster climd speeds below 10000ft/FL10.The Atc are usually releasing the aircraft between 5000-6000ft however in Amsterdam I have noticed speed increasing after 4500ft.At this stage is it possible that this can be incorporated into V5.Norman

After running RC4.3 for many months, in the same configuration, without any problem, I now get this message everytime I start RC (after loading a plan). I have tried with various flightplans known to have worked OK in the past:Runtime error '0' RadarContact.fsuipc.rcv4codeMy sim is then immediately repositioned to Lat/Long 0/0.I have not (knowingly) changed anything in my set-up that is obviously related to this issue. Config: FS2004, RC4.3, Windows XP, WideFS and FSUIPC current versionsDoes this mean anything to anybody?ThanksPhil

I'm not asking you to blow any covers here, but one of the weaknesses of the default ATC system has always been that essentially all airspace is treated as contrlled -- radar service is available everywhere and the like. In V5, does one get the "full class G experience" in that ATC service is only provided in controlled airspace either according to the FS defined airspace or some static airspace model like in V4?

Hello againI have again some trouble with RC.When i'm at the airport and want to do a flight and when i call for the clearence i just don't get an answer. But after some time the programm shows me the button to conform the clearence and so on. This happens always i want to fly. But that's not the onest thing: In flight i get almost no transition receved from ATC. There is only the button to comfirm the massage. (So it is like the massage is receved, but it isn't told. -> the sound files are not there)For example: Today i was trying a flight from EDDM to EDDK. As i asked for the clearence i didn't get something to hear, but the normal screen (which shows up after the co…

I have scheduled for KJFK-KALB/KALB-KBGR. Can I utilize RC4 for both legs of flight with out exiting from FSX and reloading FSX/ RC4?

Very rare, but, I have had a couple of concurrences where radar contact stops responding well into an IFR flight. As I said this is very rare to see, 99.9% of the time RC works correctly. Any ideas why I see this every once in a while? Windows 7, 64 bit PC, I7 930 processor.jim

Hi all,I've been enjoying RC, with only one drawback -- getting hit on the ground by crazed/blind AI pilots. I think maybe I solved the problem, and here's a link to the solution:http://www.fscaptain.net/downloads/GCAS100.zipThis is a small, simple gauge you can put in any aircraft. It monitors ground AI traffic using FSUIPC, and if anything is headed towards you it will stop them. More details in the README.While it's particularly useful for us RC users it doesn't require RC to be useful -- it works anywhere anytime. The gauge (which is visible as a single green light) can be placed where it is invisible and the gauge will still work automatically. It works in FS9…

i have just installed radar contact,and have done something wrong, as i have no sound in the default atc, how can i get the default back?

Hi to jd,and all associated with Radar Contact,Christmas Greetings to all of the fellow Radar Contact users throughout the world.I hope that everyone has a happy and enjoyable time over the holidaysNorman Bowman

1. I would like to change the amount of step climbs ATC is making me do. How?2. I would like to speed up ATC's step climb instructions so I they happen before I have to start leveling out. 3. Is there a way to delay the descend instructions to a more realistic distance from the arrival airport? ATC is not following the published restrictions at all. 4. Where is the RC4.cfg so I can peek around a bit?Thank youAng

Now, here's my problem.A flight from LOWW to EDDM in a A318, FL260.LOWW GISPO UL856 SBG UL173 AMDID EDDMI am guided to FL260. Nice flight so far. Then I am told to descend to FL240, shortly afterwards to FL190.Then I am told "to descend to FL110 with a speed of 250" Controller needs me at this FL with this speed in 40 miles.I descend with -2500 and a target speed of 240, and I level off and hold this speed app. 10 miles before ADID.So I am crossing ADID at FL110, speed 240.At that moment, the controller contacts me that I haven't met my crossing restrictions and issues a vector. Huh? I did as he told and I didn't meet the restrictions?If I follow his vector, I can fly thi…

I have just got back to simming after a long break - boy have things changed! I've dug out my copy of RC and found that it is V3 (on cd). I want to get V4 straight after Christmas (download if possible as I'm in the UK) and was wondering if there is still a discounted upgrade (I found an old, old forum message that mentions a $10 discount)ThanksGary

I have been using RCv4 fine for years but today after installing the Qualitywings 757 it has messed the RCv4 ADV display window up and FSUIPC as well! Basically it has made the window go untransparent as seen in this pic.This is how it used to be. ie a sort of "clear" shaded panel.I also get along side that a large green box that has text in it that is to do with the instructions RCv4 is giving me. Both of the above are very annoying after using RC perfectly. I understand this is not your fault at all but I just thought I might get a quicker help here than at the QW forums. Another thing is that when the RCv4 box is open now it makes panning in outside view very slow and …

Check Out this Video I made using Radar contact and Active Sky Evolution. I was using DWC and haveing very little delay in atc responces. ASE build number was 642 and I was running it on a networked computer. Its great if you can do it.Kelowna to Kalispell 2 hours long in 9 parts. enjoy...

Hi all.Since getting RC a few months ago I have been enjoying it alot, a big step up from the default ATC.My only problem has been flying out of uncontrolled airfield. Whenever I try to obtain IFR clearence via FSS RC4 crashes on me. The Wx Breif via FSS works, and obtaining my IFR clearence in the air using the same flight plan also works without issues. The issue have appeared flying in and out of small airports in the ORBX Pacific Fjords scenery and the freeware Netherlands NL2000 scenery package.I have the latest version of FSUICP and MakeRwys installed, and the scenery library has been updated. I don't have the exact error message at hand, but if needed I'll try to r…
