[REPORTED] German pilot voice?

[El Hadji]

Surely I can't be the only one finding the US accent of the pilot a bit too cheesy to fit this amazing german fighter? Would be cool to have a german ATC as well. Is there any way to mod this? Or is there a way to change the whole game to german language?

[Blooze]

Yes there is a way to mod this but it is unlikely anyone from Germany would be willing to spend the time it would take to create all of the voice files necessary to replace the default files.

[Aginor]

I wouldn't bet on it. Is there a list of files which will be needed for the pilot?

I have a good microphone, I am German, I might be able to help if someone wants to create a mod. And I'm sure there will be other German volunteers in the community as well.

[El Hadji]

Remember when I played Aces of the Deep back in the days. After re-installing the game using german version the immersion was twice as good! I'm sure having german language would improve immersion in the Dora and upcoming Bf 109 as well.

[Aginor]

That's also something I liked about IL-2 back in the days. Americans, Russians, Germans, and Japanese, even Finnish, all were speaking their own languages.

Although the languages included (at least those I can understand) weren't perfect, either. I'm pretty sure some of them weren't native speakers, although I can't prove it.

[Altflieger]

There was that great mod in IL2 where some guy persuaded his wife (Andrea?) to do all the German ATC commands. After having had a hard long mission and feeling a bit tired and stressed, then asking for permission to land, the mood immediately improved on hearing her voice. Probably the best mod ever in IL2.

But if we're talking historical accuracy shouldn't we be using Luftwaffe maps and navigation as well as German landing patterns and radio chatter and codenames?

[Aginor]

well, you have to start somewhere. Fitting voices and flight designations (Was ist Enfield? Kann man das essen?) would be a good start I guess. :)

[El Hadji]

Haha! Yeah, Enfield - or even worse Pontiac, fits in REALLY bad! "Herr Ober! Ein Schnitzel jägerart ohne Enfield bitte!"

My S.O. is a German named Andrea--I kid you not. But I might struggle to persuade her to do the ATC voices :D.

[El Hadji]

Would be awesome! :cheer3nc:

[NineLine]

I am going to report this guys, actually been wanting to since I started testing the 190, I would like the option to have the spoken parts in native language and subtitles in English (or whatever language you are wanting)

[leapingrodent]

This would be great, hope it happens :)

[El Hadji]

Thanx Sith. Let's hope this happens.

[selev]

As long as Hysterical Hans from IL2 doesn't manage to rear his head again ...:D

[Sabre-TLA]

My german is pretty rusty so could we have english with a german accent instead?

 

That way I would "feel" german but still understand when wingmen or ATC were talking to me.

 

I just finished reading Luftwaffe Fighter Ace by Norbert Hannig and his comms were very understandable:

 

"To all cyclists, to all cyclists - enemy formation of furniture vans approaching garden fence from the south, flying parallel to the coast Hanni 1000. I repeat..."

 

I understand that better than:

 

"Für alle Radfahrer, für alle Radfahrer - Feind Bildung von Möbelwagen nähert Gartenzaun aus dem Süden, fliegen parallel zur Küste Hanni 1000 Ich wiederhole ..."

 

Sorry don't want to have to read it. Destroys the immersion.

[NineLine]

It would be German sound files, but English (or whatever language you choose with install) subtitles, that wouldnt work? Maybe it can be a select-able option...

[Derbysieger]

I would love a native language option, not only for German planes but also for other nations (i.e. russian).

And please give the Spitfire pilots British accents while you're at it :D

[NineLine]

Yeah, I would want it for all, I would rather hear Russian when flying a Russian plane for Russia...

[ericoh]

Would be so cool if every country had horrible accented english.

[Sabre-TLA]

Got sniped while I was typing this but you got the idea.

 

I could live with the subtitles until my german got better :)

but I like the way the Allied Wingmen voices are now.

 

They are in english but with a german accent.

 

Go to: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\ENG\Common\Allied Flight\GERMANY

 

and play the Nautical miles.wav file.

 

I'd love to see the the player voices done like this too but only when flying a specific coalition aircraft.

 

For example if flying US get US accented English, if UK then UK accented English, if German, then German accented English, if Russian, then Russian accented English, etc.

 

I'm sure this could be modded just by replacing the current wav files.

 

Agree that if you want truly realistic then it would have to be in the pure language with subtitles.

 

I'll have to brush up on my russian too when the Mig15 comes out. :)

All the airbases in Georgia need Georgian operator voices then.

 

Ideally a different voice actor for each base.

Made it a little bit more readable

See... This is what I'm talking about! Thanx for sharing H-J.M!

[pingo]

Hi Hans that`s a pretty good work you have done there. Just a little change if I may (Im not german but do understand and speak it).

 

Feierabend would be along the line - end of shift, closing time, end of work.

 

My favorite is "Dicke Autos" - 4-engine aircraft (fat car) lol
