i have a problem with the ATC, it doesn´t speak with me any more. i have the problem since i installed the SDK voicepack editor, i must have changed something accidentally. I have reinstalled the FS2004 several times, but nothing did help, i even bought and installed "Traffic2004" (i have read that there is some new ATC in this package), there´s just no cure in sight. if someone here knows the problem, i can send you some screenshots of my soundfolder, i think there is some .cfg file missing, but i´m just not sure about it. please would someone help me, it´s just so boring flying around without ATC.... ???

Does the ATC window with text not show anymore?

...i mean "a very FUNNY (haha) comment, i must say...."
(i drank too much beer tonight, so excuse me.....)

no, i even copied the sound folder of the version my friend has installed (the same as mine), but i still hear nothin´. Does someone know what files are needed to make the ATC talk? maybe it´s just one missing....

...*sigh* i just found out, that half of my aircrafts have no sound, too.....WHAT´S GOIN ON? ie the 747-400 (default), when i open the sound .cfg i only read the lines alias=737-400! Is there any possibility that my codec for the audio files is not complete or correct or whatever? Is it possible that i have to reinstall the whole damn system? 
First things first the sound folder of any plane has nothing to with ATC.The sound folder of each plane is where you get your engine sounds from. So if you default B747-400 has no engine sounds and the sound cfg says it is alised to the b737-400 Than that means it will use the sounds of the B737-300. However if that plane has no actual sound files then you will get no engine sounds from the default B747.
But as I said this has nothing to do with ATC that comes from the main sound folder in FS.
What I would suggest you try is to put in disk one and unzip the gameone.cab file into a dummy folder not FS2004. this will give you all of the default aircraft you can compare these with the one you have on fs9 to find out if you have any missing sound files.

I checked my sound options already, but it looked ok. But i´ll try that with the .cab file, didn´t think of that so far....but, i remember now when the problem started: I installed this f****** program named ATC voice editor. Just for fun (i didn´t know what i was doin´ there, i have to say.... i selected one of the files in the Program folder ( no file from the FS folder, sure!) and started some action, and the editor began immediatelly parsing some ATC files. After that, they decided not to talk to me anymore.... No, seriously, that´s when it all started, still don´t know what the editor did to my soundfiles...

ok, another possibility: Maybe....some kinda virus? is that possible? I Reinstalled the FS up to 10 times now, and everything worked as it should, but not the sound of the ATC....it´s pretty scary, i must say! ...

but i want to thank you all so far, that was the first time i posted a problem here (actually my membership is just 3 days old) and the response was great! I like you, guys (and girls....?) Let´s all hope i can clear up my f****** problem....

have you tried restoring the voice files from the CD. Might be worth a try.

CD2, msgame (4,5,and 6).cab contain the 3 voicepack files used to build ATC and ASOS voice communications.

The files are usenglishsmall.gvp, usenglishbig.gvp and usenglishasos.gvp. (In the usenglish version of course)
