head set option

Do they make a product that seperates ATC from other sounds and allows you to feed just ATC to your headset? I know this is asking alot, but is it possible. Then next question is - do they make software to allow you to hear your own voice when you speak into mic while you are listening to ATC. Isn't that the way it works in real world??

I thought I saw something from Goflight, but didn't know if it works, or if there is something better.

Any suggestions.

have you considered Radar Contact or VoxATC? (this has nothing to do with your headset questions)

If you have two sound cards in your computer you can separate ATC and other FS sounds through the Windows sound system -- ATC will go to "voice" and all the others go through the other choice (I forget what it is). My second "sound card" is a USB headset from Logitech.

I don't know of any software to give you the sidetone (hearing your own voice). In the real world it's the audio panel hardware, combined with the way it's wired to the radio (the radio can do it, too, in a very simple installation), that gives you the sidetone in a headset. You DON'T get that in the cabin speakers, though, only in the headphones. It's possible there's some hardware to give you that in FS, but I've not come across it. I do, however, have a Sigtronics portable intercom (not cheap) I got for use with students in aircraft without an intercom, and it provides sidetone for FS or any other communications, when properly hooked to the computer, and works properly with real world aircraft-style headsets (David Clark, et al) but I don't normally mess with it -- it's a hassle to set up, with lots of extra wires -- and it wouldn't work with a computer-type headset, since signal levels, impedances and connectors are all wrong for that type of use.
