Three notes about new software on VATSIM:

*** ASRC 1.1 has been released.

This upgrade to the ATC client includes a number of new features
including:

- integrated voice support (no more Roger Wilco)
- enhanced air-to-ground and ground-to-ground communications
capabilities
- automatic discoery of active network servers
- multiple soundcard support
- multiple display support

For more information and to download a copy, visit www.asrc.info.


*** AVC enters open beta

At the same time, our new voice client, AVC, has entered an open
beta test in preparation for its final release. This client is
intended primarily for use by pilots and our testing to date has
been a spectacular success. You can obtain a copy of this beta,
which will expire on 1 January 2004 from
http://www.xsquawkbox.net/setup.exe
and the manual from http://www.xsquawkbox.net/avc.pdf.

Please note that you will have to download and install the final
version once it is released.


*** Properly configuring Roger Wilco

Finally, you are free, for now, to continue to use Roger Wilco.
However, you will want to spend some time ensuring that you have
it properly configured. If controllers and other pilots sound too
loud to you, that is an absolute indication that you need to spend
more time tuning your Roger Wilco settings. For information on
how to do this properly, see
http://www.vatsim.net/voice/rw-settings.html.
