Seems to be working fine, escept, as you say, I need to "train" the voice recognition program a little better.  Sometimes the poor thing gets a little confused.  But I'm very happy because, besides the useful and realistic FSFS commands,  if I need to switch between FS and FSFS, all I do is to say "Switch to flight simulator" or "switch to fsflyingschool".  I don't have to go back to desktop and hit the status bar icons any more.  I think I'm going to enjoy the pack.  Thanks.

I've just received my key, but not sure whether its activated correctly.  The registration details are default figures, which are not the original fields and registration codes that I received and inserted into my FS2010 package.  I inserted the keys for the Voicepack and Cessna pack and it added them (they are listed under Enabled Detail Packs so I presume they are properly installed).  However, when I click on the "Register Program" button, a pop-up says "Invalid registration key.  You have entered a FS9 registration key".  Before messing things up, do I leave it like that or must I enter my FS2010 keys and registration code that were supplied when I purchased the product?

Thanks

Well, once again you've done it with a hit product.  I'm sure many users will find this addon very useful indeed.

Just a few things I think I should report. 

When I selected a pilot (the default Lightspeed and noted that the automatic flight mode boxes were checked, I unchecked them and then tried to save the pilot, but an error message came up - Error 75-Path/File access error. Location WriteFile.  I forwarded this to FSFS when it asked me.  Never had that before.  I can't save my pilot settings.  This could be some conflict with my old installation, but if you can interpret the error message for me, I'll try and trace it.

Occasionally I found that the voice command box under Settings was greyed out and I had to shut everything down to get it active again.

On one occasion it went automatically into Circuit mode, and the only way I could get out of this was to shut down voice activation and fly manually.

It doesn't always respond to my voice, but this is no doubt a problem with my voice recognition setup - not FSFS.

On one of my flights I got a landing score in the Cessna of 96, which I thought was pretty good - but no box came up to allow me to forward it online.

On my last flight it remarked tat there was no runway alignment information or glideslope information available - although I had loaded a flight and runway.  That's a strange one, but I'll carry on experimenting.

Gotta go out now, but slill investigating all the possibilities of FSFS.

The downside is that I cannot use the Windows voice commands to switch between Flightsim and FSFS (e.g. "Switch to FSFlyingschool"), and have to still work in either windows mode to click the icons in the status bar, or use Ctrl-M to return to the Desktop and activate from there.  A humble suggestion for your next revision or maybe a patch would be to incorporate a "SWITCH" command which would allow quick access from one to the other.  This would really be great if it is possible for you.  Otherwise the program works just fine.

Oh, by the way, I've still got this problem mentioned in my previous post that if I change the details of my pilot and then try and save them, I get the error message which I described.  If you can help me sort that one out it would be most appreciated.

I also submitted my first score online - haven't done it yet, but gotta start sometime I guess.

Thanks again for this great addon.

Stan

Regarding the error -

It is most likely that the path and file name to which FSFS is trying to write does not exist - most likely because it in not correctly specified. Please take a look and let us know what you find. It will help if you can copy and paste, into a reply to this post, the data from your
settings.ini
file in the FSFlyingSchool folder in which FSFS2010 was installed.

There could also be problems if the following is NOT true:

- FSX and FSFS and FSUIPC all installed by the same user

- That user has administrator privileges

- That user is running FSX and FSFS

There is definitely a conflict in the paths.  My original location for FSFS2010 was in my Flightsim folder, C:\FS2004\FSFlyingSchool2010, which I never deleted.  However, when I reinstalled the voice pack it went into the default  C:\Program FIles(x86)\FSFlyingSchool, so both locations contain FSFS files.

The FOLDERS in the original location are: Aircraft, Locations, NonILS, PilotRoster, Sound.  Included FILES in this location are Aircraft.dat, Airlist.dat, Config.dat FSFlyingSchoool.exe, FSFlyingSchool.xml, FSFRwy.bat, FSFRWYS.EXE, FSFSRWYS.FSF, FSInventions.xml, FSUIPCL.dll, MakeRwys.exe, realism.dat, SoundCard.dat, Uninstal.exe, WaveExCtrl.dll, and settings.ini. The settings.ini file is:

[FS Folders]
FS2002=
FS2004=C:\FS2004\
FSX=
FlightPlan=C:\Users\Stan\Documents\Flight Simulator Files\

[Pilot]
PilotFile=C:\FS2004\FSFlyingschool 2010\PilotRoster\LightSpeed.plt

[Misc]
TransitionAltitude=18000
EndFlight=0

The FOLDERS in the new C:\Program FIles(x86)\FSFlyingSchool location are:  FOLDERS:  Aircraft, Locations, NonIls, PilotRoster, Sound.  FILES are: EasySpeech.dll, FSFlyingSchool.exe, FSFSRwy.bat, FSFSRWYS.EXE, FSFSRWYS.FSF, FSUIP.dll, MakeRwys.exe, Uninstal.exe, WaveExCtrl.dll, and NO SETTINGS.INI FILE!  I copied the old Settings.ini file into this directory but it made no difference because they're obviously referring to the original installation location.

Now I'm not sure where the computer is looking for the various files, but the above should hopefully tell you what has happened and what I should do about it before I start making further changes and screw things up more.  Phew, what a mixup!  Sorry about that.

Stan

I'm really enjoying this pack.  You've made a great contribution to flightsim training.

As I mentioned earlier, it would be great if you could add a voice command to switch between FS and FSFS, which would avoid the necessity of having to fly in Windows mode or having to go to the desktop and then click on the appropriate button in the taskbar.  D'you think this would be possible?

Thanks

Stan

The simplest resolution of this situation I can recommend is this:

1. If it is working then of course you're all set.

2. If you are having any kind of problems there should be no trouble at all if you simply perform an installation of the latest version of FSFS2010 to a new folder.

This is a far more reliable method than trying to untangle the very tangled situation which can be caused by multiple previous installations to different folders.

This is something we are looking at. If pilots fly with FS in full screen mode, this can lead to some irritating results (screen flashing etc) when FS is switched to FSFS automatically as you mentioned. We are experimenting with this and would like to be able to offer this as an option.
