ChristoffNY Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hi all, Trying to update the voicepack of my FSX after installing a MAIW package, however EVP is just saying 'imported from another version on flight simulator' to the voice files and I am unable to continue the process and add them. I haven't used EVP for FSX before but assume it follows a similar procedure to EVP 3 that I used for FS9 way back when? Does anyone have a fix? best, ChristoffNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The problem is that most of MAIW's packages are for FS2004 only and thus they created the voice files with Editvoicepack for FS2004. So those voice files can't be imported into EditvoicepackX. The only way to do it is by hand. Which would be a huge endeavor. You would have to look at each aircraft.cfg and create a voice for that model and callsign if it already doesn't exist. Another thing is that MAIW's flight plans are also for FS2004. Which means you need to convert the BGL to FSX. I have done this myself, but I have to look at my desktop on the program I used now. Also, MAIW have created invisible airports like Dare Country Range, etc and those also need to be encoded into EditvoicepackX. Problem is, I don't know where all those names are at. I use the MAIW packages in FSX, forgo the Editvoicepack voices and just converted the flight plans to FSX. So I do have military A/C in Hawaii, Salt Lake City, Whiteman etc. I really wish MAIW would convert their packages to FSX as well. It's nice to fly around and not only have commercial, GA and military A/C flying around you too. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm quite surprised when reading this. Never had problems with importing MAIW or other FS9 voice modifications (with VCPMOD-extension) into EVPX. Only thing that comes to my mind is that I'm still using the freeware 4.0 version, and that "something has changed" in the payware 5.0 XL version. If so, a solution might be to "downgrade" to 4.0. You can still find it on the "Try&Buy" page of the EVP site, bottom of the screen "Download old versions". Any feedback on what version you're using now will be highly appreciated.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 CRJ, For what it's worth, there's a note on the front page of MAIW that they are working on converting their stuff to FSX and P3D. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wim Hi dude, I'm using the free version 4, if this helps? ChristoffNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi dude Good Evening Sir, Only thing I do to import FS9/MAIW VCPMOD files, is changing the dropdown list for the Import-function from "*.EVPMOD" to "*.VCPMOD". Then just select the file for import. Never had the "imported from another version" message. Hope this helps, Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Sorry for bumping in. I didn't know that, thanks. After importing an fs9 mod, can you then export it as an fsx .evpmod? il88pp [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 After importing an fs9 mod... ... EVPX completely forgets where it came from. You can do whatever you want, just as with another mod. In fact evpmod is the ONLY option for export you get with EVPXv4.0. For FS9 you need EVPv3.1. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks! I knew I should have checked it myself. I'm just way too busy with non-fsx non-pc stuff. Thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
