Jasiński Posted October 9 Posted October 9 It would be a huge step to have reworked AI ATC in DCS. Also having it implemented into AI wingmans, JTAC and others with voice recognition would change a lot and make DCS stand out. Imagine only being on frequency and transmitting, and then your wingman, ATC or JTAC would respond without needing to deconcentrate and click through radio menu. FOX3, FOX3... Splash!!!
Kang Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Voice recognition, shmoice recognition. Would it be a cool to have feature? Oh, certainly. But seeing how the ATC system is barely functional at all in DCS, I would vote for reworking its core functionality first before attempting any such shenanigans. 2
OmasRachE Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Voice recognition shouldn´t be that hard today but it would be worthless if it´s not a total rework of the ATC system. You can literally "enjoy" this today with voice attack.
Kang Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Certainly doable and not requiring any of the pointless nonsense we have come to know as 'AI' in recent years. Other games have done it rather well 20 years ago. 1
OmasRachE Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Just for interrest. What is it, that some people hate of "AI nonsence" in that context? Don´t you like what SayIntensions AI or BeyondATC have shown? I mean sure there are year old systems which are way better than DCS but the puzzle-like, pieced-together radio calls with poor intonation and a lack of variety in phrasing still remain a weak point. So don´t you think that there is great potential?
Kang Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) Here's the thing: a lot of military radio traffic basically is puzzle-like pieced together phrases. Sure, the 'seams' of these bits could be done better, but that is less of a 'we need AI to synth new audio in real time' problem and more of a sound design problem. That, also, can easily be shown with other sims from 20 years ago. The other important thing is, that as far as I'm concerned, the 'poor intonation and lack of variety in phrasing' just frankly is the least important of the weak points of DCS' radio communications. Is there some potential in it? Sure, I guess. But I feel it is wasting resources (both in dev time and in user computer power) on the wrong things. Edited October 10 by Kang 1
