OnCourse Software

I see that you are using Game Commander 2 which is no longer available. Are you running PFE from a second computer with FSUIPC? I am using Voice Buddy and I have a registered FSUIPC. I have read that people have had a hard time configuring voice recognition to work when running PFE from a second computer. I read the "how to" that is pinned, but did not understand how to do it. I am running the PFE Display Utility on the second computer with FSUIPC. I am using a high end headset and mic. All suggestions are welcome. I do have reasonable success with Voice Buddy, but I am always looking for improvement. I will see if I can figure out a way to have FSUIPC and Voice Buddy work together on PTT.

Thanks,

Lynn

Hi Lynn,

Yes I am running PFE on a client computer and FDC on another client.

I am not sure why voice recognition (VR) should be a problem with PFE on a client, afterall the VR is simply causing a key stroke to take place, so no different to pressing the key on the server computer and having PFE react on the client. (BTW, I am definately not a computer whizz).

I too have voice buddy but have not taken the time to configure it. I do have some wav files set up in GC2 to activate when needed, I don't believe I can do that in Voice Buddy. Also, I had a problem with a microphone that was USB, which Voice Buddy did not work with. A patch has been issued to fix this, but I have not got around to testing it.

I do have GC3 but simply cannot get it to run, I don't know why, whereas GC2 runs perfectly (most of the time).

I am happy to try and help as much as possible, if you could let me know what problems you are having I'll do my best to help. I know one can have Voice Buddy working via PTT, as I did have it set up for a while. I'll have to remind myself how I did it though. Let me know if that would help.

Thanks, You have inspired me to try some more with using the full PFE on a client with Voice Buddy. I will not have any time this week, but I will the week after. Thanks for the invitation if I run into trouble to help figure it out. Why are you using 2 clients? Have you found that it runs faster that way?

Hi Lynn,

How nice to hear I've inspired you

Another thing one can do is use the hotkey within PFE to pause PFE when the key is depressed. I have the same hot key allocated as the PTT hotkey. This means PFE pauses to allow the request to be made. Some may not like this feature, but at a busy airport it is a useful feature. The pause period can be set as required.

The reason I have two clients is mainly for sound but also for taking pressure of the server machine and allowing me to use programmes without interupting FS.

Server Machine: FS9, Track Ir & GC2/VB, Wide Server

Client1: AI Sep, AI smooth, TSR Autobrake, FDC, Wide Client. Also TOPCAT, B738 Fuel Calculator, ATR Take Off & Landing Calculator.

Client2: PFE, PFE Remote Text, FS Flight Keeper, ASE, FS Realtime, Wide Client.

I have a programme called Input Director running on all three machines that allows me to use one mouse and keyboard for all machines.

So, I have FDC sound coming from the speakers on Client1, but also I can use TOPCAT/fuel calculator etc., whilst FS boots up or if I need to whilst the sim is running.

Client2 sound gives me ATC from another speaker. I can also fiddle with ASE if required without interfering with the sim.

The engine and environment noise comes from the server machine.

I am pretty sure Windows 7 can handle sound in a much better way than XP, but I think I will stick with my setup. I will likely change to FSX at some stage but can see no need at present.

Good luck with your tweaking!
