FSX Unicom xmitting when vPilot in use

I have vPilot active and tuned to 122.8 but I am receiving FSX-generated unicom radio traffic for area airports which, aside from just being annoying, cuts out my other sounds and so I have to manually reset sounds with the Q key.

 

I do not have any of the FSX ATC boxes checked in the General Settings and I am running Win7-64 Pro.

 

I NEVER use FSX ATC so is there a way to completely disable the FSX unicom traffic?

I don't think I've ever heard FSX-generated UNICOM traffic before ... interesting.

 

Do you have your AI traffic sliders all set to zero?

in your FSX settings, lower the volume slider for those

 

edit: dont see a slider in the sound settings for ATC. dont remember which setting it was that cut them out. could just be the AI traffic settings, i eventually turned them off after they kept getting in the way lol

Thanks for the timely responses. I did have SETTINGS>SOUND>Voices checked. It is unchecked now.

I checked the sliders, airline was at 0 but GA was at 1%. I have moved that to zero as well. It occurs to me now that I had been seeing an occasional AI GA aircraft at a distance...perhaps that was due to the 1% factor and will no longer be displayed

 

What I found strange about the UNICOM traffic was that I thought activating VATSIM would disable any AI traffic both visual and voice.

 

I have also experienced at some airports that with vPilot tuned to the VATSIMK controller's ATIS frequency I will receive an FSX-generated voice ATIS instead...but I can live with that. It does not happen often and I can just de-tune the freq and read the ATIS as text on vPilot.

AI would be changed to zero by SB4 (can't remember if that was when running as a module, or running SB4 regardless of module/external). Unfortunately, vPilot doesn't have the same functionality.

 

I don't have FSX up right now, but if I remember correctly:

 

To disable voice ATIS

In Settings > Sounds, uncheck the voice tab

 

To disable text ATIS scrolling

In Settings > General > Air Traffic Control, uncheck Show message log in ATC menu

I have all my FSX AI Aircraft set to 0, Are you sure that you're not mistaking a VATSIM DAL flight for AI?

 

Having the Voice in FSX unchecked should fix FSX voice coming thru.

Now that you mention it- the plane was zigzagging all across the sky so yes, it probably was a DAL flight (Oh No, he didn't!)
