problems with ATC sound

[snoopy51]

Can anyone help me, afterI have updated to FSUIPC 3,48 (a registrated version), and when I communicate with ATC there is no text written on the screen and there is no sound from either my requist or from ATC, all other sounds work okay, what can be the solution too this problem ?

You never know your plane could not be started properly, in that case your battery is not on and you cant talk to - or hear - atc, of course.  ::)

Don't worry your not missing out on much, I don't use ATC from Fs

excuse me, but are we talking about the same thing ?, I meant when I fly in fs 2004, and I fx. ask for landing instructions, it is a good thing to could read what the atc say to me, I am total lost because I can either read or hear what the tower tells me to do.
I hope that this explain my problem a little bit more clear. hope for a helping advise.

Yes, but 9/10 if you have traffic on you will have to do a go around, because the ATC in FS blows.  As far as your problem, no I do not have an answer all I was saying is the ATC doesn't do much.  Did you reinstall FS?, if not try that

Check the '..../Flight Simulator 9/Sound/' folder for the file 'USEnglishBig.gvp'. This is the file that contains the sounds (and text I believe) that are used to generate ATC voice traffic.

If it is missing, or corrupted, (should be 199,829KB, dated 5/23/2003 8:43PM) you can recover it from CD#2/MSGAME5.cab

This info is for the US English version. If you use a different language version of FS9, the file name may differ.

If this isnt the cause, maybe remove the FSUIPC.dll file from the /Modules/ folder and see if that cures it.
