The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum

Wishful thinking: is it possible to use MCE along with FSCaptain X? Have you ever discussed this with the FSCaptain developers? Seems like that would make a great combo together.

I have the MCE demo and UA DC9, the copilot will respond to voice and run checklists. However he wont actually flip any switches. Is this a limitation of the demo or a issue on my end?

With (delayed) release only days away it might be curious that a confirmed FS9 Captain is raising this topic. However I am really interested in whether Gerald has the 'inside line' and will cover the Triple 7 before the competition or whether it's a case of awaiting the SDK (if PMDG deicide to issue one?)

When I use pushback, I usually (always?) get an EXTREMELY slow wav playing as pushback commences. It's like an old 45 being turned at about 1 rpm ! It's too slow to decipher what is being said, but it has certainly happened when I run over the mechanic, I'm not sure but this may be the only time it happens. FSX & al addons are otherwise running smoothly. This brings me to the second issue, possibly connected - I seem to keep running the mechanic down. I know this has been posted and discussed, but I cannot seem to stop it happening. I have removed GSX to see if it cures it, and set mce.ini back to native, but I am still getting the slow playback sound. …

For some reason, I lost all native keyboard shortcuts with my FS9, such as CTRL+S for the Bird's Eye View. I recently installed Multi Crew Experience. This is the only alteration to my sim in a long time. Do you think it's the culprit? Best regards, Holger

Not a big deal, but I am currently doing a fresh install of everything. So far fsx, selected scenery, fsuipc and mce are installed & I'm testing it before adding anything else. But while running through some voice checks, I asked Travis for the gate number and he says we are at 'one one'. In fact we are at gate A10 (KSFO). Can anyone tell me why this would be wrong please? (I have used mkerunwys to rebuild all runway info, and there is only some photoscenery but no airport scenery).

Greetings folks MCE is now at version 2.5.6.2 Everyone should upgrade. http://www.multicrewxp.com/Downloads.html - Added a new advanced options panel to the user interface. Users no longer need to know about "mce.ini" except for the most obscure and undocumented options. - Fixed a few bugs reported on this forum - Improved interfacing with Aerosoft Airbus X Extended. First Officer Dieter (German accent) has finally graduated. This is now the sixth FO, and hopefully a few more will follow in the future. http://www.multicrewxp.com/FO_Dieter_For_MCE_V2.zip

Is there a detailled manual for MCE? I found the 16-page quick guide, but this one doesn't explain how to interface MCE with RC4, for example. Best, Holger

Best Regards, Richard Portier

Are you guys aware of the bug where we tell the FO the Destination airport and it ends up populating the "Alternate" window in the GUI? When asking him for something like the ILS freq, he has no clue what we are doing or where we are going.

Disregard this stupid duplicate post.

I know the title doesn't initially make sense... but bear with me. Let me start by saying that I am really enjoying MCE and it is making my simulated flights much more realistic... great product !!! With that said, I have a couple issues that I hope can be addressed. First, when replying to checklist items, many times I respond with the word "ON". Unfortunately, somehow the voice recognition interprets my response as "ONN" (I see it in red letters at the top left corner). Since "ON" sounds like "ONN", I can see why the recognition confuses the two; but since "ONN" is not a word, I'm not really sure why it's even in the MCE vocabulary to cause the confusion. Of course,…

I have read that Radar Contact is about the best program for controlling AI around the airports. I have used a combination of AI Smooth and AI separation for some time, which is ok but there's always room for improvement. Apparently RC spreads, slows, and directs them much more realistically. BUT - my reason for this post - I am more than happy with the features of MCE, especially the voices, and believe it or not, the default ATC voices. Does anyone else use RC with MCE? Offline with AI as opposed to online? Is it possible to opt out of the voice features of RC, sticking with MCE and using RC for the AI control & other selected features chosen by me? …

Hi, I want to use MCE together with VoxATC, and read in the manual that the "end" and "space" keys disable MCE temporarily. However this doesn't seem to work, MCE still recognizes commands while I press any of these buttons. I checked the ini file and there is a "UseWithVoxATC=0" line there, which I assume is exactly what I want to use. Can you explain to me how I set this up and what those lines in the ini file are used? I want a keyboard button and/or a joystick button to disable MCE voice recognition while enableing VoxATC voice recognition while the key/button is pressed. If possible I would like both a keyboard button and a joystick button to work, b…

Is there a special thing I need to do. I tried the commands I downloaded like "two teas please" etc but i get no response.

Hi I have downloaded the trial version of MCE and today tried it with the Majestic Q400. I have one major issue:: The copilot kept complaining that I was close to stalling, even though I certainly wasn't as I was flying more than 200 mph. I even got it while accidentally over speeding. What am I doing wrong here? Also, I really hate the "smart" remarks from the coplit, is there a way to make him more business like? Helge

So I'm sure I'll find most of this out when the trial finishes the download but from the video I just watched on the Majestic q400 the FO did everything... This is unrealistic and doesn't even follow the flows and checklists Majestic provides. Is there a way to change this?

Issue Number One: Using the default FSX ATC works well except for when there is a lot of radio traffic. ATC controllers don't seem to care that I have my mic keyed and that am reading back a clearance, so they just step on my transmissions and move on to other pilots. They don't "hear" me transmitting until after I release the PTT, but by then it's often too late and my transmission gets blocked either by another pilot or by the controller. Is there a suggestion for this? Do I just need to reduce the traffic setting so there are fewer planes in the sky and more "room" for me to transmit? It's not like I talk slow or anything. In the real world once your mic is k…

Hi We are pleased to inform MCE users that support for Majestic Dash Q400 will be added soon. It will come as a free update despite taking 2 months hard labor with no SDK to help in the process. Those who can't wait, can ask for the preview kit. If you happen to be good at making videos, we'd like to hear from you. Thank you

Hi, If i want to announce a emercency, nothing is happen. I've tried different flights, but no result. In the earlier versions of MCE it worked well. Someone who has the same problem, please help. thanks bagno

There are a few issues that I see on the MD-11 with the flaps. Similar to what I reported with the F1 Dc-9 (but told you to disregard, because I haven't been able to reproduce since on that plane), "Flaps Up" is interpreted to mean both Flaps AND Slats retract, which we don't want. This is a problem because after takeoff, it is typical to say Flaps Up when we pass the FR retract bug, and then Slats Up when we pass the SR bug. Therefore, this behavior is causing us to clean up too early. Independently, the command Slats Extend and Slats Retract, both work as they should. Dial-A-Flaps is problematic. If Flaps/Slats are fully retracted and I say Flaps 15, it will…

I'm having a lot of fun customizing scripts. I also just discovered that scripts can be embedded in other scripts. Cool feature, because it allows us for example to have the Flight Attendent close the doors and play a custom cabin announcement at some point within the CoPilot's Before Start Flow. Very useful. Now if we only had conditional branches! :rolleyes: What I'm wishing for is the ability to create a VoxScript with exactly the same name as a built in MCE command. Examples would be "go around" or "Cabin Crew prepare for Departure." I'm aware that the proper functionality can be obtained by changing the verbiage, such as "going around" instead of "go aro…

Hello, Folks I hope that you are fine. I use the MCE for, at least, 1 year and I can say this program is simply wonderful. I experienced almost all commands with ATC and all works fine for me, except one: the cleared approach. After all vectors to final approach, the last vector is to intercept the final course and there the controller clear some approach procedure for landing (ILS, VOR, Visual and etc...). There start my problem. I read the manual and I always answer the authorization with something like "Cleared ILS approach runway 15, Tam 3331", but nothing happen. The strange is that if I say "expect ILS approach runway 15" instead of the existing in the m…

Fellow MCE-ers (and potential buyers) I'm doing a fairly obscure series of flight-simming videos on YouTube, following my attempts to get back into the virtual cockpit after a six-month break. In a recent video, I took my first steps back into jets with the CRJ-700. I talk about how I aim for an immersive airline-pilot experience with simple aircraft and "model" procedures, along with appropriate add-ons. Since MCE is a major part of that, I thought it would be of particular interest to readers of this forum, and anyone wondering what MCE could do for them. As per AVSIM rules, I can't post a link to the video directly, but here's the link to it via the Vide…
