Regional voices for comms based on object country

[mattjonesgr9]

Hi ED, 

Would it be possible please so that if you pick your aircrafts country as the UK (Harrier for example) the radio voice would therefore have a British voice to go with it ? Can this also be done for ground objects also such as tanks.

I'd love to have more voices as well as the option to do voice mods

I think the WHOLE AI comms needs an overhaul.  More / different voices / more call signs / more varied ATC calls...

To a limited degree, this is present in-game for AI units- off the top of my head, UK, Norway, Belgium, Finland and France. have them- but I'd love to see it expanded for player aircraft as well.

The strangest thing to me is that they've added in a lot of new callsigns but haven't added any dialogue for them, so the in-game comms just skip over them. I guess the original callsigns were from LOMAC and they didn't want to tear the whole voice ecosystem up and start anew?

It is likely ED is looking to work with AI generated voice like the ones present in MSFS, in a new system... hence the new callsigns weren't followed by new recordings.
Seems effortless is variety and can produce output based on written words instead of a database of recordings.

The whole current native radio comms system is highly outdated, in its limited asset variety and responses, not that AI generated is the thing that should replace everything (that is actually nauseating...). I wouldn't be surprised if it where scrapped to put in place something completely different than what we have today. It will take time...

Voice accents were not working for me since the encryption day of sounds folder. I used to do French AWACS and UK tanker but it is no longer working. 

Just as a reminder, ED published news in 2021 mention a re-work of ATC system as well as other calls: 

Quote

Over the past year, our primary ATC focus has been on the Supercarrier. Now that the Supercarrier ATC system is nearing completion, we will next move on to airfield ATC radio communications. Given the scope of DCS World, this is not a simple task, and it will require three separate ATC systems: Western Modern Day, Eastern Modern Day, and World War II. Because this effort will require a large amount of new radio voice overs, we will also take this opportunity to update the radio communications for other entities like flight members, other flights, AWACS, tankers, etc.

 

This will continue to be developed in 2021, but we do not have an estimated release date.

I am sure they consider different  voices for male and female but I hope also for nationalities.

I have British wingmen and a female tanker mods that work.  The sounds folder needed a little adapting but after I figured out how to do it it works perfectly. 

Only problem is  can't be changed per aircraft.

Is the French awacs in a French accent or French language?

It used to be in French accent in English but it isn't anymore. I am pretty sure it is a bug but will be fixed with the new feature coming to DCS (not soon enough)

If you have the file I may be able to make it work.  I managed to get the tanker one working when it was supposed to be broken.
