Hi Robert
Just tried a flight and said activate flight following, it was looking
promising as Mike responded flight following has now been activated. He still
didn't make any announcements however and still no sounds.

Okay thanks, I'll make sure fly following is enabled the next time I do a
flight and see how it goes.

One of the first things I do when I am setting up IYP before the first
flight is to make sure Flight Following is Active, GA flight following is
active and Cargo flight following is active. Just an FYI.

Thank you Declan.
I reviewed your CVRT file, and indeed, there are no Flight Following
announcements in the log.
However, I made the exact same flight and there were plenty of
announcements en route. e.g.,
Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Mike. I am the first officer on this
flight. We thank you for listening to our flight following channel and I
will be pointing out things and places of interest during our flight. We
just headed over the city of Birmingham. For those of you sitting on the
right side of the aircraft, you might be able to see the area of Derby,
coming up soon. and in addition Nottingham. For those of you sitting on
the left, you might be able to see the city of Wolverhampton, and the area
of Cosford, coming up momentarily. We'll be flying over Tatenhill, in a
few minutes. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen. This is the first officer again. For those of you
sitting on the left side of the aircraft, you might be able to see the
area of Barrow, coming up soon. Thank you.
etc.
Therefore, since they do not appear in your log, then once again, I
suggest that you say to Michelle...

Hi Robert
I have completed the flight from London to Glasgow, my sound messed up
towards the end of the flight so I didn't manage to land but there should
be enough of the flight there. I still didn't hear any passenger soumds or
announcements from Mike.

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.

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?

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
