For the meagere price of £0.99p + Post & Packing, no I'me not trying to sell anything and I have nothing to do with the company that makes then iether.

Hmmm...this thing is not available any longer, but there are several other just like it at amazon.com but much more expensive. Dave, is it still working for you? The one review at the site you gave says it's horrible, but again, you tried it and it works great. I plan to order one, but I must decide which one now... Im thinking this is the same thing? http://www.amazon.com/SENSITIVITY-OM...1308633&sr=8-4

thanks,

I also bought this one too, its much better than the £0.99 one as it has adjusters for the volume, better quality also.

I havn't found any problems with this at all, I actually run three headsets from it with no problem at all, so Captain, 1st officer and someone in the jump seat can also hear ATC through the headsets.

Great news guys, for all of you (and me), that have been strugling to achieve separate ACT voice in FS9, I have at last achieved it, for ony £0.99p too......!!!!

Still need to buy a set of head phones though, already had them form my prevoius encounters with this subject.

How's it done?

Unfortunately it only appears to work with Rc4, I tried a mirriad of different way to get the generic FS9 ACT on a separate channel, but to no avail (FSX does it with a click of a button, no problems).

The process is not understandable, but here goes.

Firstly install the unit by plugging it in to an available USB (2) slot and plug in your head sets, XP finds it and installs it as a USB Sound device.

Go to your sound icon and ensure that the 'Audio' and 'Voice' outputs are set to your Generic sound card (the one you are currently using), very important (by the way I am using a Audio 97 5.1 on board sound, this works also).

The start up FS9 and load Rc4 for your journey, ensure you have the generic FS9 ATC turned off, the open your sound icon (usualluy a grey speaker), and change BOTH settings ('Audio' and 'Voice') to the USB device.

Start RC4 and low and behold ATC, as clear as a bell, through the headphones ONLY, the rest of FS9 sound (engines, cockpit etc.etc) through your normal sound card/5.1 configuartion, whatever.

Even better, I used a splitter from the USB unit and coupled 2 headsets to it, plus you can talk to your co-pilot via the microphone which is also live and doesn't come through your normal speaker system too.

Brilliant eh?

Your own personal configuration may be slightly different, but you should achieve the same excellent results as I have.

If I had known this before wasting lots of money on the GoFlight ATC module (sorry GoFlight, but quiet frankly its very poor and doesn't do what it says on the tin).

Hope everyone else enjoys this little miracle as I have.

THIS WORKS REALLY GREAT!!!!

In my setting (WinXP, FS2004) I am using ProFlight Emulator to create the third-party ATC.

Clue is, that FS sticks to the sound-card/device, which was selected when fired up. If you change later your generel setting in Windows as described dy Daveanne to another sound device (as my new USB sound adapter), FS keeps the initial setting and only all other third-party programs - like Pro Flight Emulator or Rc4 - are switching to the now selected one. So FS may output to the speakers and third-party ATC is going to the headset (or another speaker)

Thanks a lot Daveanne and best regards from Vienna, AT!

Hi Phil,

If I got you right, you would like to use two mikes in parallel to feed the same final destination - your sound card.
If so, a simple Y-splitter cable should do the job.
BTW you should have an intercom between the two micros then, using the same line somebody wrote (but I have not tried this yet).

yes 2 mikes for the same destination. what do you mean by an intercom, you know a place where to get this intercom and splitter ?
And will it not only work with a splitter to 1 soundcard ?

... yes, I read if you connect two headsets incl. mikes by an Y-splitter to the same soundcard you will be able to use the two headsets as intercom, as their micros and speakers are linked obviously.
Will test this in the next days as I bought an Y-splitter yesterday.
If that works, all you need are normal headsets and this splitter, which is a simple audio cable with one plug at one and and two at the other. You will get it at your local electronic store (google "audio splitter" for pics).

hello,
i will only use 2 CB mike's and no headset. this is 1 for the Capt side and 1 for the F/O side. I suppose then i only need an Y-Splitter ?
Phil.

Guys, please be aware that most sound cards will only drive one headset, as the amount ofamplification assigned to the ehadphone/mic out socket is minimal.

I suggest you look at this little devise, which is an amplifier too, mine drives three headsets all from the same plug sockets, one for Captain, one for Co Pilot and one for someone in the "jump seat".
