I'm not. Changing voices is a pain. I just downloaded some new voice
sets for RC4 and can't change the voice sets in the program to what
these new voice sets require.
Second, if any of you plan to fly longhaul flights--London to JFK, for
example, good luck using RC4. I'll say this: it's impossible to use
PF3 in mode 0 or 1 in any way that's reliable..
I wouldn't mind interacting with ATC if MSATC actually let you send
messages in while controllers are talking. If everyone sets their PF3
to mode 2, you'd know what was happening in all phases of flight.
Since you only get text feedback on mode 0, it's impossible, IMO, to
make an interface for PF3 until that's fixed, and as I said, that's
not on the PF3 developers high priority list, it'd seem.
You can customize a lot of PF3. I have yet to figure out a way to make
PF3 get me to the proper FAF altitude, E.G. so I don't have to
calculate it every time I want to capture an ILS approach.
It's also worth noting that with both RC4 and PF3, you can't do the
approach checklist when IYP advises you do. I have done this several
times, in in each case with both ATC programs, I either miss the
glideslope, or IYP starts landing before PF3 clears me to start
descending, resulting in PF3 telling me to ascend back to where I was
after IYP already started landing after capturing the glideslope.
Just my observations. About the only thing I like about MSATC is that
I can pretty much follow IYP instructions and most of the time it's a
smooth landing. That "Refile IFR Flightplan" command seems to be
bugged, however, as I can do it and it looks as though it basically
re-loads the flight, but when I try to do anything with ATC it's
always flight following, not resuming my IFR plan.

Any thoughts on the cause?

for about RC4 is when it tells me to fly direct to a waypoint or tells
me to resume own navigation then it proceeds to tell me that I am not
on the airway. Also it drives me nuts when it keeps yelling at me to
reduce my speed say to 210 knots, and even after I have done so, it
still yells at me to slow to 210 knots or whatever.

Speaking of realism, which is more realistic, PF3 or RC4?

Hi To all.Blind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
I was thinking of picking up PF3 for more realistic ATC.
But Robert has a full plate right now and has placed making pf3 on
the back burner for now.
So, maybe we should wait until Robert can find the time to make PF3
work with IYP and FSX for we BVI Pilots?
I still have my traffic to pick up and the more realistic sound
package for the b744 aircraft.
So what does everyone think of my suggestion.
Should we wait Jordan, or can we get PF3 to work for we BVI pilots
while Robert finds the time to make it work with IYP and fsx for we
BVI Pilots?
Many Thanks.
Ron
