I cannot get PF3 working as expected. When I load a flight plan and connect to FS nothing happens after the closed caption window loads. If I hit a hotkey# or load the ATIS frequency into COM1 I get a Fatal Error Detected in PF3. I tried both ATIS frequencies (120.825 and 133.1) which had the same error.

Also, I never hear the virtual pilot communicating with ATC. Not sure what is wrong.

Regards,
Rick

It appears you have some system DirectX files missing so would suggest the following:

Download the Microsoft DirectX for Managed Code Runtimes, using the following link:-

http://www.ocs-support.co.uk/downloads/ ... ntimes.zip

Once downloaded you need to unzip the content into a temporary folder anywhere on your system, then run the downloaded EXE. You will be prompted for a location to copy the extracted files into, so just choose the same temp folder.

Once that's done go into the temp folder and right-click the 'DXSetup.exe' program and then select 'Run as Administrator'

This will NOT alter any of your currently installed DirectX files but merely installs any missing runtimes in parallel
Once the DirectX Runtimes are installed please try running PF3 again and connecting to FS and let me know what happens. You can also delete the downloaded runtimes and temp folder if you wish

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

After installing the missing files, I no longer have the fatal error. Thank you.
