Voice "Liveries"

[Dangerzone]

I would like to put forward a suggestion for having more than one voice option available for radio calls that the pilots make. At present, when I have 3 others inbound to the same carrier or airport - the recorded voices are all identical to each other.

There's already talk about how we need female bodies in cockpits. I would suggest that it's more immersive to have some different voices added to DCS (which also include female options), given that this would have far more impact when we fly than bodies we can barely see unless we're doing the Topgun 'international' relations maneuver - which I certainly can't pull off.

My proposal however is that ED makes an allowance for us to select a voice similar to how we can select liveries (but maybe in the settings setup). It would be good to have 3 or 4 different voices to choose from (by default) - including a female voice for female pilots, but I'd like it done similar to liveries where it would allow users to add additional voice files into the SAVED GAMES directory so they could add more of their own custom voices.

This would mean that if liveries were shared (the same way as plane skins), we would get to hear the different voices that others use in the process.

It may be that ED are working on something already where they plan on doing voice recognition instead and we may be able to get away with the F10 menu, which would be even better - but if not, could there please be consideration for having voice liveries for the radio calls?

Hopefully this will be part of the new ATC features. Users submitting their own voice files with different accents would be awesome. Hearing American accents in the Caucasus/campaigns are very distracting. 

In house voice recognition with an AI ATC like Beyond would be just cherry!

This would be awesome.  Ideally I'd love to have a few different voices and accents as well as more languages. I wonder if AI is at the state where it would work for what would be needed
