    Indie Volume seems to be an audio mixer that receives different feeds to be mixed and processed in the normal way? FS has only ONE feed from the sound card carrying ALL sounds.
    Having said this, your further comments wiuld be of interest.

    Thanks.

    Correct. You must use an external ATC in order to separate the Audio. IndieVolume would allow you separate ie. RC4 and FS9 Audio channels.

    RC runs quite happily on a networked PC. The menu can appear on the FS screen, or, via a little program called ShowText, on any screen on any PC in the network. The sound can be routed to a headset, for eample, because you'd connect the headset to the Networked PC which is running RC.

    You can do the same sort of thing with ProATC/X, though not (yet) move its menu off the PC screen.

    Many thanks Pete.

    I presume that RC would perform in much the same way as inbuilt ATC (but much better) and would relate to aircraft movements in the same way? I am not too familiar with RC and presume that I can select ATC only to send to the headphones? Sorry, I'm not too technical!

    Thanks again.

    It tries to deal with AI traffic. it does talk correctly to them, and stops most, but not all, runway conflicts. It doesn't handle them in the air. For decent air separation you need to add something like AISmooth (which actually also helps with default aI too).

    RC's sound goes to the default sound device. You can make that your headset on the Networked PC. If you ran RC on the same PC as FS you'd need to change the default device before starting it, or use that IndieVolume program described earlier in the thread.

    ProATC/X will one day have sound device selection capabilities, which would be a tidier way of doing it. It's not in yet, but on their "to do" list.

    Hello again Pete.

    Thanks again for your valuable assistance. I will be installing RC on a seperate computer as suggested. Will I need to install anything else as well to make this work?

    Regards,

    Hello again.
    Just a quick question - apart from RC, will I need to install anything else for this to work?

    Regards
    TONY.

    Re: BACKGROUND SEPERATE FROM ATC!

    I plan on using my old Sony home theatre 5.1 system with the sub woofer tucked in just behind my seat at the bottom. I have been looking for the Goflight ATC module, but can't seem to find one with a black facia.
