Perhaps I looked at the wrong session. Please try a flight from London to
Glasgow (over land) using a Boeing 737-800, make sure you set a top of
climb altitude in excess of 20,000 feet (FL200), acutally I would suggest
FL320, then drop me a line after you have completed the flight.
tnx

Did the transcription say I was doing a completely different flight to
East Midlands to Brussels? How strange. Perhaps that's part of the problem,
maybe it thinks I'm doing a different flight to what I actually am. I
definitely landed in Brussels though

Did you hear this....
MIKE: Mike said, ’Ladies and gentlemen, this is your first officer
speaking. From the flight deck, we welcome you aboard, boeing, flight
number N737W, to Dallas-Ft Worth.’
MIKE: Mike said, ’If you tune to channel 7 on your headset, I will be
pointing out places of interest throughout our flight. We will be getting
under way very shortly. Thank you.’
Why are you consistently saying.... "Cabin music off?"
Can you please create a flight from Tampa to New York... not Dallas.
Tampa to Dallas has the majority of the flight over the Gulf of Mexico.
Not many modern-day cities remain in the Gulf! (smiles)

Hi, I finished the flight so it should be uploaded, not sure if you would
be able to see if there was anything wrong with my settings ETC. I didn't
get any in-flight announcements unless I prompted Mike and for some reason
still no passenger or music sound. Other than that everything was a success

Definitely. These sounds are NOT WMA files... these announcements are
made by the co-pilot. i.e., the same voice that conducts the checklists.
The announcements are dependent on a lot of things. e.g.,
You TOC (top of climb altitude)
Flying over areas with no airports e.g. the Pacific Ocean (lol)
And IYP settings, e.g.,
Activate and deactivate the Flight Following feature
Activate Flight Following
Deactivate Flight Following
Try to force an announcement by saying: "Make a flight following
announcement" to see if it'll work.

I'll look into the boarding sounds. In terms of aircraft, the ones i
have flown that i thought mike should make flight announcements for were
the a321 and 737

Hello Declan,
RE: i hear no boarding sounds and iyp doesn't seem to play cabin music
when i ask for it on longer flights
All of the boarding sounds and music are Microsoft WMA type files.
Using your File Explorer, go to Sound folder under the root folder of
the simulator.
If you're using Microsoft's FSX with the default installation settings,
then look here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Sound
If you're using the FSX Steam Edition with the default installation
settings,, then look here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\sound
Look for files starting with the letters..... iyp. e.g., iypboarding.wma
Double click to play the file. If you cannot hear it, then you have a
missing CODEC. If you can hear the contents, then perhaps you have the
sound level turned all of the way down on the IYP control panel. There are
some voice commands you can try using:
Incrementally change the volume up/down
Sound Effects Volume Up
Sound Effects Volume Down
Incrementally change the volume up/down of MP3 music
Music Volume Up
Music Volume Down
Incrementally change the rate of speech faster/slower
Increase Speech Rate
Decrease Speech Rate
RE: mike doesn't make any flight announcments once we have taken off
What aircraft are you flying?
RE: i have some new aircraft downloaded, what's the best way to go about
installing them.

hi, since i started using IYP, i have become much more experienced. I
can now say i can easily do a complete flight almost every time with no
major problems. Along the way i have encountered several interesting
problems and small questions, i have written them in seperate topics but i
thought i'd make a completely new one.
Firstly, my iyp doesn't seem to work too well with passengers. By this
i mean i hear no boarding sounds and mike doesn't make any flight
announcments once we have taken off, for example to let people know we have
reached our cruising e altitude and ground speed etc.
Secondly, i have some new aircraft downloaded, what's the best way to
go about installing them.
Another small thing, possibly related to the passenger problem, iyp
doesn't seem to play cabin music when i ask for it on longer flights for
example. It just gives me one of it's 'funny responses'.
Thanks for any help, none of these are deal breakers but it would be
good to get them sorted especially the passenger problem.Blind and Visually
