The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum

Using latest release if MCE and RC4, I ask (and see the words in red) for the FO to handle ATC, which he does. I do this during the cruise part of the flight so I can do other things. When I get close to the destination airport (90 miles or so), I tell the FO I have the comms or I will handle ATC (and see the words in red). But, he never lets me talk to them. He keeps answering ATC. In either case, the FO doesn't acknowledge that I was actually heard (not sure he is supposed to do that). Is there something I'm doing wrong?

As title states, all users running Radar Contact with MCE must update to the latest V2.6.4.2 http://www.multicrewxp.com/Downloads.html You will get a slightly better experience interfacing RC4 Selection of menu items happens quicker than before. You may now call various control centers with their respective names. "Canarias Control" "Washington Center" etc... Instead of the usual "Control" or "Center" If you don't own Radar Contact V4.3, and you are on V2.6.3.9 you may ignore this update. Thank you

Hi Folks, I wonder if anyone has managed to configure a push to talk button to explicitly let the Co pilot hear what you are saying to him and cut out recognition on release. I am using a couple of addons which use voice recognition, voxatc for one, and the Co pilot keeps thinking I'm talking to him. Constantly enabling and disabling recognition with the mouse on the control panel is a pain. Regards Mike

I'm posting this because I thought it might be useful to others. I have read through this forum multiple times and most of the MCE literature that comes with the software and never found anything that addressed my specific issue. After hours and hours of searching online, trying different configurations and much frustration, I found the solution to my problem. Problem: MCE would work fine for a period of time, but rarely a full flight. Sometimes it would fail 7-8 times in one flight. By fail, I mean that MCE would no longer hear my audio instructions. MCE was still active, monitoring and such, but neither my FO or ATC could hear me. I would check my sound and speech s…

After a few flights of playing around with MCE and trying different settings, I decided to do a reset on the mce.ini to put everything back to ground zero. Since I did that I get I get a glitch when certain actions are taken in the aircraft (changing frequency on com 1 for example). What happens is that my entire screen goes black for about 3-4 seconds and then returns. It doesn't matter whether the FO is making the change or I am doing it directly, it still happens and only happens when I have MCE running in the sim. As you can imagine, there are some points in a flight where 3-4 seconds of blank screen is not good. Other than trying another reset on the mce.ini, any…

Is there any way to speed up the response time by the FO to FSX ATC? I use EditVoicePack to speed up ATC, but sometimes the slow interaction between FO and ATC can cause me to go off my flight path/altitude by the time they get it sorted out?

When I press the PTT or FO talks to ATC, I hear a "tone", not "static". Is that what I'm supposed to be hearing because it's actually rather annoying more than helpful. I know I can turn it off altogether, but I'm just wondering if I'm hearing the right sound talking with ATC?

Hi! These days I have being flying PMDG T7 in P3Dv2.5(build 44) with MCE(2639) and GSX. I have obeserved the following strange behaviors several times. 1) I can not call up ground service at the parking. When I say "Cokpit to ground" to call up GSX, then FO says somthing like "Engine should be shut down", although I have shut down the engines and parking brakes are on. FO even recognizes that engines are cut off during a preflight checklist. 2) During de-acceleration on the runway after the touch down, suddently the parking breaks became on, GSX started (the blue screen poped upp), and the gound worker started say like "My name is Sven,..." Have anyone obs…

Hi, while 22 starts are probably more then enough for testing, just 2 days is not that much. I did install MCE two days ago without knowing before how long the trial period gonna be. No i wish i would have installed it on the weekend, not during the week, because effectively i had just the chance to try it for a single time (and ran into a couple of problems). Now after checking the forum and the manual more extensively i guess i know how to solve the problems but do not have a chance to try again. Question: Is there any chance for extending the trial period for just a single day? Would love to try it once again during the upcoming weekend. thank you a…

MCE newbie here with a first problem. I have no problem communicating with the FO which understands me and responds but I cannot communicate with default ATC. When I press the delete key or the joystick assigned button (S4 paddle on my warthog), I get a continuous tone until the release and the ATC does not respond to anything I say... What do I miss ! Using P3DV2.5 PS Using ATC 1 or any number works BTW

Gerald, Thank you for your response in an earlier post, however I have downloaded the latest version 2.6.3.9 and am still having problems with comms with Ground and GSX. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I can't see it. The following is my transcript of commands (may not be exact responses but you get the idea): Me: "Ground from flightdeck" Mechanic: ...anything I can do to assist" Me: "Ground we are ready for push back right" Ground: "Will connect ground power let me know when your ready for push back." Nothing Me: "Ground start push back right" Ground: "OK will STOP push back" !!!!!! Me: "Ground START push back right" Again- Ground: "OK will STOP push b…

I know that William and Lorna can take control of the radios when using RC4 by requesting "your comms", however there is an option within RC4 for 'Otto' to take control of the plane "your plane" in RC4. Does this work when using William or Lorna as copilot in MCE, and the copilot will change headings etc when requested by RC4? Thanks Stuart

Been using MCE for the last weeks and simply lovit, from what i've tested everything works fine, some wrong interpretations when i talk my native language forgeting that MCE is listening and makes some strange descisions The only thing that i cant get to work is the pushback from GSX, i use the commands: Ground from flight deck Ground engineer from flight deck Ground mechanic from flight deck Maintenance from flight deck Engineer from flight deck Assistance from flight deck Mechanic from flight deck Technician from flight deck He immediatly responds that is availiable, i can ask the boarding, fuel etc and GSX is activated and works well, but when i use: Ground …

So I just reinstalled FSX and MCE - no other addons. With MCE installed, I get a fatal error every time I start fsx.exe. This is using the latest version of MCE. An unhanded win32 exception [5340] occurred in fsx.exe FSX runs fine with MCE uninstalled. FSX.cfg http://pastebin.com/MHLQm1pz I'm running Win7 x64, 16GB RAM, HD7870 XT, i5 3850k. MCE used to work perfectly well when i last played FSX...can't figure out whats wrong with this new build.

I'm afraid to upgrade to 2.5 yet in case it breaks MCE.. With the new folder structure I'm not sure yet.

Title says it all. Grab your copy here: http://www.multicrewxp.com/Downloads.html Note: Works with the 2 variants that have a virtual cockpit. 2D implementation will only follow if there is demand for it.

Hi ... when I reach the stage of the above installation step when doing fresh install of latest version on W7 64bit I get the screen as per the capture at the following link:-https://www.mediafire.com/?48fw6kq6h9zygq8 ... Alan

I understand MCE is supposed to work with Captain Sim 727 and Coolsky DC-9? When I speak to Trav and give him a command, for example, "window heat on" the window heat switches don't move. I have this problem with several other addon aircraft and MCE. It works great with the NGX, Md11 etc but shouldn't it work the same with all aircraft that MCE says it is compatible with?

I think it may have been mentioned before, but would it be possible for the FS++ team to pin a topic here to announce each new release together with changes implemented within. Thanks Stuart

Hi, When will there be a 2.5 compatible version? The latest always causes an error in 2.5 and doesn't work unfortunately... Potroh

F++ team, Todays holiday represented an opportunity to fly the majestic dash 8 with MCE. To that end, MCE REALLY added immersion and reduced my workload; moreover, the vox scripts worked amazingly well. However, I did encounter one difficulty; specifically, when I asked "Trav" to "set heading 108" he would acknowledge but not execute the command. The same paradigm existed for "set heading" and "set speed" calls. Are these commands supported in this particular model? Matt

Is it possible to suspend the CoPilot from announcing V1, VR and V2 while still retaining the other "monitoring and call-out" features?

If you have GSX installed, what should the following be set to in the INI file for proper operation?:" GroundServicesMode=native or GroundServicesMode=GSX" Stuart
