I would be interested in hearing what the names of these programs are & where I might find them. I was recently thinking about FS limitations with ATC so I downloaded the M$ ATC voice pack SDK with the intentions of redoing all the voices.

"Yup Im running 9.1, all drivers etc are current as well. I have seen this since I have had FS9, as I said no real problem. Just a minor irritation.
