No Pilot Voice Mod for Use with Voice Activation Software

EDIT:

There is an alternative way to get the same result as my mod. As Zionid has pointed out in post number 10, you can simply rename the following two folders to shut the pilot up, once and for all.

1. DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\ENG\Common\Player

2. DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\RUS\Common\Player

So, you can either use my mod or use Zionid's method. Either way will work. Choices choices!

END EDIT.

If you use voice activation software to issue commands to your wingman, flight, JTAC, ATC etc, then you will know how annoying it is to issue the command using your voice, only to have the artificial pilot voice say the same thing again. It doubles the time to issue the command and sounds stupid too.

This mod simply replaces the pilots audio messages (which can be several seconds in length) with a blank audio file of 0.2 seconds in length.

The subtitle (at top left of screen) is still present (if you have them enabled in DCS World options) so you can check that your voice activation software issued the correct command.

End result is quicker,less annoying and more realistic than when using the stock audio files.

Thanks! Been looking for something like this!

great stuff - thanks!

can u simmers advice on a voice activation software that fully integrates with FC3?

I've only tried one program and it worked for me more or less out the box (obviously not including setting up words and bindings) and that's Voice Attack.

I found it really easy to set up and assign / bind key pushes etc to words.

There is or was a free version / trial that's limited to so many commands and you can't export / backup profiles. The full unlocked version is around $8 so not too bad.

Thanks - gonna look for it on the net and see what features the software has

VoiceAttack is well recommended, great tool especially since it's only a few dollars for a license. VoiceAttack users stay tuned I'm working on a comprehensive profile for A-10C which I intend to upload soon.

Hmm,, very interesting! Thanks

I'll third Voice Attack, one big plus for me is the use of DX buttons for push to talk. Now that I have it set up, it's been phenomenal at understanding all the commands.

There is actually an easier way to do this.

Just find the pilots voice files folder (both english and russian) and simply rename the folders.

That will kill the pilots voice without juggling files:)

Oh god, now you tell me ha ha. Oh well, shall i say my mod is obsolete and explain why and to use your method, or shall i just leave it as it is?

Milli,

I'm not home to test it but if your mod with the .2 sec sound file gets a response faster from wingmen/tower/awacs compared to when you just rename the folders then I would continue with it.

If anyone can test and post results please do, if not I'll try it later tonight.

So, VoiceAttack is frickin awesome. I never used it before today.

Does anybody have a profile for Comms? I know its not a big deal to create but it would be a time saver.

Dale

Whatever is fine by me:)

Edited first post to show an alternative way of silencing the pilot.

Im jumpin in on this, Im just going to buy it since its only $8,, after watching the youtube tutorial and a session,, im sold! I am going to start up a post in the appropriate section to solicit for profiles and see what bites. Id be interested to see what variations others might use for radio comms,,, thanks for this thread for leading me down this path!

I like voice activated commands...I've used them for years....since IL-2 1946 at least....not ground breaking at all...I remember the game US Navy Seals for the playstation used voice activation many years ago...

why DCS and other games like Arma wait for outside mods to offer these things is interesting...same with not having the TS IP linked to the switches in the cockpit like some mods offer is also a little on the funny side....

I understand its a big pain it the ass and I don't even really recommend ED trys... but you simply offer your customers so mush more when it comes to realism...

I'm still think BMS has DCS beat when it comes to comms....VHF and UHF, guard channels...I use VAC when playing BMS (that really sets it off)...uses the same PTT as my VHF ingame....works great since BMS PTT buttons are NOT how you open the comms menus...the menu is just that, a menu and the PTT buttons are linked with IVC(and my vac).

....how is this seen and played by people in charge(here at ED) and the statement is not said, "why don't we have this?"

anyways, the radio mods offer this and programs like vac and others work great. I highly recommend it.

I'll second Voice Activated Commands (VAC). It's inexpensive and very well supported. I can talk with my pipe in my teeth and it still recognizes my commands. Awesome app. You can get my prepared VAC profile, with command reference sheet, here. I only use it for DataLink and interaction with wingmen/tower, but that's over 200 voice commands. You can very easily add your own commands simply by typing what you want to say, then the key that should activate when you say it. No training or any other action necessary. The command builder is the best reason to use VAC.. it's a no brainer. I spent like $15 and have it installed on two systems with several extensive profiles for different sims and games. I've also started using it for web browsing and application execution. Flying without VAC would be like flying without TrackIR.

what would be even nicer, is to remove F1~10 menu to android phone, keeping screen clean for those movies we make...

Agreed! It would be a nice feature to have a shortcut and/or option control to suppress menu visuals, and pilot audio.

+1

Ideally via shortcut, so that menu visibility can be turned on/off in scripts.

VAICOM 1.0 beta is now available for Voice Attack users:

Milli, don't despair. I prefer your mod via JSGME so I dont have to keep track of what files I have altered.

Thanks.
