OnCourse Software

Possible discovery/solution.

PFE/PF2000 communication has had a hit or miss history of success with me. At times it has been flawless with no problems at all. At other times I get a reply to my voice command, and sometimes I don't. There is no problem at all with keyboard commands and I always tet a reply. On the advice of Oncourse posts, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it into the C:\ root directory in the hope that all would be cured. I had even more difficulty. For instance I never was able to get a reply from Clearance. Ironically though, I could get radio check replies from Ground, and Weather updates by commands to FSS. Very strange that some work, some don't, and then occasionally those that didn't kick in and reply.

I use GameCommander2 for speech recognition, and thought that another such program might be the solution, so I downloaded and installed the demonstration version of Multi-Crew. I had similar problems there.

ESET Smart Security is the program I use for my antivirus and Firewall protection. I just discovered that if I disable these protections that I was successful with my PFE/PF2000 voice commands and got replies from ATC. School is still out as to whether this success will last, but I will hope for the best.

There is a strong possibility that this was my problem in getting replies from Multi-Crew as well. Disabling Eset and/or making exclusions may be the solution for both PFE and/or Multi-Crew with PFE integration Time will tell.

My hope is that this has been my problem all along, and that this will be a permanent solution. I also hope this information proves to be helpful to anyone else that possibly has had a similar problem.
