The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum

Hello to everbody in this forum, actually it's the first time that I post here, and the reason for this is, that I'm pretty desperated. I've just installed MCE but I cannot get it connecting to P3D. I've tried all advises I've found so far (replaces fsinsider.dll and fsinsider.ini) but with no success. The only message I'm getting from the prog "Couldn't retrieve FS data! Try restarting Prepar3d, the MCE". I've also written a message to the support line of MCE but up to now no response. Any tip or advise would be highly appriciated. The OS is W7 64. no add-ons running Best regards Heinz

Get to know Bill and find out why that woman doesn't even let him handle ATC Comms. Although there are now female captains or first-officers, I can't remember ever coming across a real life female FE. [media] [/media] David, you breached realism with this one

I got the demo and read the manual but nowhere in the manual does it really say how to interact with the co pilot. I tell him things to do and he gets about 1/8 of them correct. How do you make this work and is there a list of correct things to say? I tried a default FSX aircraft to make sure he would respond but had very little response. I also tried in an addon aircraft and he did not respond to most of the commands. Lost and need to know before I use up the demo. Thanks, paul

Guys, just wondering if it might be possible in a future release, to write the Vspeeds for given aircraft to the INI file for use as defaults. One can opt to select different checklists for specific aircraft, but not Vspeeds. Appreciate that speeds vary depending on takeoff weight, but simmers don't always tend to use different weights every time. It would be nice to define speeds once for a given aircraft and have them default for that plane. E.G. example of possible added INI entry [Dash8400] V-speeds=119,119,120,etc,etc Such method could also be used in the future for perhaps other aircraft specific parameters. Any thoughts? Stuart

Hi there Just to let everyone know that Bill (USA) has graduated as a co-pilot, and his recorded voice pack is now available for download. http://www.multicrewxp.com/Downloads.html Bill becomes the 8 Th MCE co-pilot. More on the way. Thank you Bill

F++ team, I'm curious to what the following entry in the mce.ini file does? [VATSIM] NotifyPTTstate=0 I'm looking for a method for MCE to suspend "listening" when communicating with VATSIM controllers. To that end, i use a PTT button on my yoke that MCE doesn't seem to recognize. Currently, I just suspend all services via the microphone button; however, i'm looking for a more elegant solution....

Hi, I could not get the info in the documentation, what are the possible interactions/communications with the purser. Also I have noticed that the purse voice (volume) is low, is there a way to increase make it a big louder. Again, I am referring to pmdg 777-300ER SP1C. Thanks Hari

I read you can talk to the cabin crew but is there anything like playing announcements etc like in FS Passengers or is that a only FS Passengers option? I would like to use MCE by itself since it adds to the memory it uses in FSX. I am also thinking about getting RC4. Does anybody have any input on using them together?

I have MCE running in P3D. I also have FSX SE on the same PC, how can I also run MCE on FSX SE? Thanks Trevor

I have two sound cards, one for speakers, another for headphones. All the voices that come with MCE, sound in the headphones as i set up (via "Assign Sound Device" tool, and manual also). But when i assign a TTS voice that not comes with MCE is sound in the primary sound device, in this case the speakers. I can not set the headphones as primary device due a configuration problem. Why MCE do not reproduce all the voices in the headphones as i set up?

F++ team, If possible, would you consider a new feature for a future release? Specifically, is it possible for MCE to suppress all functions when a specific key is depressed? To illustrate this notion, consider communicating with a controller while flying on VATSIM. I'd like for MCE to suspend all operations when the "push to talk" key is pressed. If necessary, MCE could hard-code the key and we (i.e. VATSIM/IAVO users) could simply alter our PTT options within our clients (e.g. SB4, Vpilot, etc...). Maybe have MCE enter a while loop while the key is pressed? I believe this might be a better option than clicking the microphone on the GUI. Also, I've noticed the …

How can the MCE commands in red subtitling at the top of the monitor screen be removed? Thanks in advance. Regards, BoHill

Hi, I am reasonably new to MCE and using it with X-plane 10. I have a problem when the copilot thinks I have said something like ...shutdown engine 1...when it is some background noise that has triggered the action. Not good at FL380. I have fans running on my PC so I think the mic is too sensitive. There seems to be some interesting arguments whether to use a digital mic via USB or an anologue mic via 3.5mm plugs for speech recognition other than Windows Speech recognition ie voice operated simulation be it ATC or MCE. The argumentors favour anologue over digital. Any comments... Another item is failure checklists. Is there a chance of MCE having failure chec…

FSX SP2 2.6.4.7-Ultimate Breaks SimConnect communication with all PMDG aircraft. When a PMDG aircraft (777X or 737NGX) has been loaded in the simulator (FSX SP2), and has finished (the aircraft) initializing itself, if Multi Crew Experience (Ultimate Edition 2.6.4.7) is launched, an OK button messagebox with the following message: Titlebar -> "fsx.exe - System Error" Message -> "The program can't start because SimConnect.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Button(s) -> "OK" for 2-3 times. When MCE finishes loading, the following happen: - all commands to the FSX interface (they are airc…

In case anyone has missed it, I have posted some Vox Scripts on Avsim Library for the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended. If you scope out the last few videos on my You Tube channel, you can see how they work. Oh boy do they work, the MCE chaps have done a lovely job on this little aircraft! Not only do we have deice working, but we can have full emergency fire procedures. Even the cabin fan is supported! BTW, I have linked some training videos at various points in the movies(via a click here link). These depict a Twin Otter crew using the actual flows in a full simulation! If anyone's in doubt about how accurate we can be with MCE, then the links show what can be achi…

Hi, I'm using MCE a lot. Two days ago stopped working.. I'm using P3Dv2.5 latest build. If i disable MCE from dll.xml the sim starts normally if i enable it the sim dosn't start. First time the error occured I got a BEX error. I followed a procedure found in another topic and the BEX error gone. I also tried MCE install-uninstall and one FSINSIDER.zip from a post few days ago. Is there a way to fix this without having to re-istall the sim ? FSINSIDER.LOG Logging started Assumed Sim is P3D V2 Found 3 TextInfo sections Enumerating Sound Devices Finished enumerating sound devices Entering critical section MS1 MS1 MS2 MS3 MS4 MS5 MS8 MS9 MS10 leaving critic…

Hello, I have the Maddog 2008 3.3 SP2 and the first officer will not move any switches. My microphone works and I get replys that he is switching things on, but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. Jeff

i'm having a problem with flight plan, it will not load to my MCE so how do i import them in so i can have the co-pilot talk. please help or better yet a video.

I am wondering if you are going to add the 777 in the list of fully supported plane for X-plane 10.

Hi all, so I was creating a custom checklist for my little Fokker (DA Fokker 70/100; see what I did there? ) My poor F/O Travis struggled with a couple of the terms I inserted (like "profile", "EFIS", "liftdumpers", "navaids"), so I am wondering whether there is a way to add some words to the list that MCE can recognize and pronounce? I found some pretty good substitutes, so now my checklists are running smoothly, and of course I do not expect MCE to interact with an unsupported aircraft flow-wise - just curious about the vocabulary ... B) Thanks for bothering!

Hi, I just want to share the tip as I have spend a long time to understand why my MCE FO did not turn properly some push buttons on the Q400: The Mipmap VC panel option in P3D was finaly the problem cause. It seems that mipmaps blocks some input from MCE FO. Thanks again to Ben for his strong support Roland

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to make the UI slightly larger. Has anyone been able to resize the ui? Thanks in advance.

I have VOXATC 6.0. Is MCE compatible with VOXATC? I only see in the manual RD and PF.

This is probably a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyway. I know you can script a conversation with Vox Script but I I don't use VoxATC. I use RC4. Can I still script a conversation without Vox Script?

Hi i just got MCE for RC4 and having some trouble after i ask for clearance and then request push and start it goes into the option but nothing happens its like its froze for some reason. twice i have tried to get passed the push and start option
