JG-1_Vogel Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Firstly, I know there is a mod to get english in 1.0.2... but I'm just wondering why ED decided to take away the option for us to have it? I know its a Russian bird, but I prefer to have english speech so I can understand it without having to look away from instruments to read the text at the top of the screen. So... why remove something that worked fine and many people liked? At least give us the option to select what language we would like? Not a rant, just curious thats all!
ZaltysZ Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 They made the speech dependent on country you select. If your helo belongs to NATO forces, you will get English speech. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
JG-1_Vogel Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 I mean the Russian accented english, not American accented. I know I can get english ground control etc, but it sounds out of place when flying for Russia (with mod installed). I'm just slightly confused as to why they would remove the Russian accented speech for when you fly Russia (or not give us the option?). It was in place previously and caused no issues, so it baffles the mind as to what made them want to remove it. On another note, no training tracks? I patched up to 1.0.2 right away (as you would do) and I can't access training tracks because old tracks don't work. Were they any good? Personally speaking, I think it's an odd thing to do. This sim is complicated enough already, and for newcomers to the sim genre who want to learn (and might not be aware of the online community) would find it extremely off putting that no training material is available in game. Wouldn't have taken much work to redo a few tracks guys... any other publisher/developer would have gotten slammed for that i.e. Ubisoft etc.
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Actually it takes a lot of work to redo the training tracks, and this has been one of the main design flaws of most of ED previous sims. Thankfully it has been addressed, in a limited way, for FC2 and hopefully given the hints, comprehensively for Warthog. Anyway, I've never even looked at the training tracks. I found all the information I needed in the Producers notes series of Videos for Black shark. I suggest also checking out EDs youtube channel it has lots of training vids http://www.youtube.com/user/eagledcs#g/c/0CFA7EA40064EAE4 Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
JG-1_Vogel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Posted July 1, 2010 Fair enough, I'm not particularly interested in them as like you said a majority of information needed is either in the manuals of videos online. I was merely saying some new customers might consider the product "unfinished" as they couldn't access all the material they paid for because of upgrading to the latest patch. The only thing I really dislike about DCS at the moment is having Americans in the control tower when I'm flying as Russian (using the speech mod). By the way, the US reads about QFE differently to the Russians. Normally for the Red's its something like 175.6 where as the US/NATO says aprox 28.9 etc. How do I compensate for this? As the dial shows only metric and doesn't take the change of units into account.
DTWD Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Then you need a different speech mod... ahem http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=55383 Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
JG-1_Vogel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Posted July 1, 2010 That is actaully the one I'm using, so Betty and my pilot speaks Russian accented English, but the ATC and maintenance etc talk in American accented English. It's a good meet in the middle kind of compromise, but I would much prefer it if I could have Russian accented ATC etc. No disrespect DTWD it's a great mod... but is there no possibility of Russian accented ATC?

You know there are two mods there don't you? I am pretty sure you want the second one. Scrolly down. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
JG-1_Vogel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Posted July 1, 2010 Oh jeez sorry lol I just read it again, cheers! *D'OH!*
DTWD Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 No worries... :) Maybe I should edit the post and make it clearer. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
