Does anybody here use GameCommander?

[Fish]

Thanks for the profile Wild Bill.

 

I'll keep playing with it.

 

I been using it for a number of years (since gc1 came out)

Here's how it works for me,

 

1. Always use an activate button, so it ignores other speech, eg TS.

2. I use 2 separate bottons on my hotas, 1 4 ts, and 1 4 GC

3. It works phonetically so sometimes spelling tight as 'tite' is better. So your command is spelled Tight, but the 'Sounds like' is spelled 'tite'

4. Long complex words are better broken down eg emergency to 'e merg ency' or awax to 'a wax'

5. it theres not enough difference betwen phrases, make a diference, ge

smoke on, smoke off. Make 'Smoke' and No smoke'. 'Vector to.......' seems to trip it up so i use '............Vector' eg 'Home plate vector'. This makes it easier for gc.

6. Make the phrases longer, too many short ones have not enough diffreences, eg 'Tower permission to talk off', or 2 return 2 formation' (in place of 2 close up)

7. Avoid teaching unless absolutely necessary.

8. Adjust the max silence between words, so it always waits until the phrase end to interpret. mine is 250ms.

9. Use only the commands you absolutely need. I use it for comms only. The ore thats there, the easier it is to get it wrong, both you and GC.

10. To check all is working, print out commands, test each command, marking ones which appear to give a problem. For the problem ones, go back, modify the text, or try to teach the phrase, then repeat the testing process for all commands.

 

Here's my profile if you wanna try it .

 

Fish's Flaming Cliffs Profile for Game Commander 2

Fish, do you have GC2 or GC3? I don't see some of the features you mentioned, like an Activate Button and Max. Silence between words.

 

I agree long phrases work best for me. The profile I sent you worked very good for me and I did no training at all. I use a headphone mic right next to my mouth. And I remember when I first set this up that I did have to adjust my mic levels a bit and use mic boost. That profile works fine for me.

 

If you find a phrase that consistently doesn't work, try training it and see if that helps.

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

 

Wild Bill,

I'm sure Fish is referring to GC2. I think he means the "Push To Talk" feature when he says "Activate Button". The manual uses both of these terms too. Also, there is a "silence between words" setting you can adjust. I played around with it a bit as well.

Seek and you shall find........

 

 

get to the the main console (by opening GC2)

click the 'edit' button. (second from the right)

In the left side window (directory tree thingy) , navigate to the top level tag, dont know what it is for you. Its probably something like profile. or my profile or default profile.

select this by clicking on it.

Then on the right side, select the 'Auidio devices', and 'advanced' option tab on the left hand side for the above options.

 

Note that you can make many 'profiles', and have you games separated into appropriate profiles, which have different values of these parameters set.

 

But that's all well covered in the documentation.

[Wild.Bill.Kelso]

Thanks, I had never seen those settings before.

I have GC2 working well now with FC. Many thanks to Wild Bill and Fish for sharing their profiles with me. I ended up using a blend of both of them together with my own.

 

WB, you don't request four to pincer low very often do you? ;)

[Wild.Bill.Kelso]

Hah, glad you caught that.

 

Nope, Four is a Noob, we only let him fly with smoke rockets. He'll shoot his entire wad in 2 secs anyhow! 8^P
