Patch changed language

[PedroTheGoat]

I may be one of the few... But I like the Russian voices. It adds a lot of immersion for me, even if I have no idea what the voices are saying.

 

Plus... My Ekran sounds SO sexy now.

RGR that!

I guess that means in DCS:A10 there wont be a lick of Russian language to be found- since it's and American aircraft?? I don't think then that the russian players will be very happy either...

I'll hate myself in the morning for poking fun at this thread. :doh:

We had a lot of suggestions from players to make all sounds Russian for Russian aircrafts, so there are very different opinions on this question.

And now it seems those suggestions were minority. If there are forum threads asking for a features and 50 some people agreeing with it, doesn't mean that's everyone or even the majority. People who thinks its garbage idea wont even respond. Game designs being changed by few that are active on the forums.

In the russian section i guess?

 

Would like english ekran lady without accent a lot more:music_whistling:

I was going to say the same thing :)

[zangler]

for people like me that use 3 monitors...subtitles are broken...so this is not really a tenable option...

 

im guessing there is a huge list of things people would suggest be changed before 'force a language onto players even though a lot of them dont speak it mode' got mentioned...

I was an early adopter and bought the russian version because I was impatient and wanted to fly so the ekran voice really doesn't bother me, It was a daunting task to learn when you couldn't understand anything and had to use videos to learn how to fly it . I somewhat learned quickly what the messages meant because I crashed a lot and took a lot of damage early on...

 

The thing is, people don't like having choices taken away and flight simmers are the MOST picky group of gamers I've ever met. They get upset because they didn't get to have input on patch.

 

Localization is a part of just about any game these days and if you want worldwide sales you need it. It takes huge resources and time to do all the translations and supporting such a product can be an immense task for developers so it is a fine line to walk. They probably did this to get the patch out so all of us could fly together on multiplayer and for this I'm grateful. It's the most fun I've had in a long long time.

 

In the end after a day or two it's not really a big deal and you don't even think about it (unless you are obsessive/compuslsive) I played online all weekend and it really didn't affect the gameplay for me at all. I could still read the EKRAN and see the subtitles and yeah....the russian betty DOES have a sexy voice.....lol

[element1108]

I don't mind it as a feature, I would optionally turn it off though just because I don't like reading vectors or what not from AWACS...listen so my eyes can be on systems.

 

BUT...I actually don't care enough to REALLY care...this is the internet and I feel my opinions matters for some reason?...why is that I wonder.

 

EDIT: Although online with a chat window traffic it can be hard to read what the awacs or control tower are saying.

I prefer side dependant. Before I used to install Russian language into my English copy. Now I won't have to faff about doing this.

 

With the subtitles and tool tips, it's really not so difficult. I'm also learning Russian. :smartass:

We had a lot of suggestions from players to make all sounds Russian for Russian aircrafts ... .

 

I fully agree. Thanks a lot.

[Wolf Rider]

it may take a bit of work, but how about having the accent side dependant?

 

 

ie An english speaker in a Russian cockpit would have english Nadia but with a Russian accent.

 

I do admit having this scheme localised would take a fair bit of work though

You'll need to follow the link. My first modding of the sim, and it was easy as punch (compared to what I was expecting).

 

1) Follow the link to the English Betty.

2) Follow the link in the English Betty thread to the Modman thread.

3) Install Modman.

4) Edit the .ini to point to the new locations (simulator.exe) to run the sim; I just peeked at the new desktop short cuts for what to change them to.

5) Follow the instructions for how to add the Betty mod in ModMan.

6) ????

7) Profit.

 

(Betty is back to talking English with a Russian accent)

Giving Betty her due.

There should be an option in sound menu to choose the voice language.
