Thank you!

@Icer:

Interesting, have you written a script you would like to share? I haven’t reinstalled VA and it’s partner that I forget at the moment yet, but I will soon…

doe to the request/questions in this thread. I just started to do a little POC for interfacing BMS to VA so instead of only sending commands to BMS do the other way round and read values from BMS into VA as well.
During lunch break it made that little POC to request my ownship fuelstate and let VA tell me the value.

So as I know what BMS Shared Memory can provide I just checked the posibility with VA to have a polling loop with conditions in order to react on in game changes.
I don’t have a profile for a full ramp start with interfacing, I even don’t plan to make one. Just wanted to showcase that that there are ways to interactive react between VA and BMS

Just a very basic sample how to include F4SharedMem.dll into VA and read a value from BMS to be use in VA.

@-Vandal-:

Did Oak just gave us a WSO, granted it’s less Goose and more or a poor man’s C3PO but still awesome. For the F-15E it would be cool to develop this where the WSO monitors the RWR and gives threat type, bearing, and threat range? :woohoo:

RWR Data is there.

Just started digging into VA plugin programming 6h ago. So still not sure where and if there are limitations. But if kind of interrupt or listener command is possible then yes an active WSO calling out a new thread with type and bearing (range only limited) as RWR Rings are not Range but Threat based would be possible

Hi,
Is there a profile, or an example of a voice attack profile which changes a radio frequency?
Are there any profiles which control the cockpit, not just the radio commands?

Thanks

So, there’s been a lot going on lately, including my country going on lockdown, me having money to spend, my dad getting a 3D printer… 🙂 Long story short, VM profile ended up on backburner, and I might end up buying VA once it goes on a sale on Steam (it occasionally does). I will get back to it, though. If anyone reading this has VR experience, feel free to take a look at yet another thing that delayed this. 🙂

The issue with “two” has been resolved, BTW. I managed to get it to recognize what I say. The profile is nearly ready, in fact. Just needs some minor adjustments and testing. It has limitations, but it works nicely. I’ll make another thread when it’s up and running smoothly.

Thanks SemplerPDX,

I checked the beta versions and I’m already on the latest one it seems.

I think I’ve solved the problem by editing the profile and making certain that “global recognition buttons” weren’t overridden (they were before, I unchecked the relevant boxes and PTT, or PTR, “push to recognize” now works again).

All the best,

Uwe

@white_fang:

Naah, I wont bother nobody with 4k/font issue , I’m using VA just for this one sole purpose (was using “Shoot” for looong time ago, there’s even catch how can work in modern “Win” , since it was written for Net1.0 ),
so , when this “Lukrop’s” profile is polished for Bms 4.34u2 , for me the journey is about there.

Really, it’s no bother - there are folks dedicated to improving VA for everyone, not gonna get a reply that is just “RTFM” 😉 They’ll provide tips as well as references to page/chapter in the manual, and if it’s a genuine issue that needs to be addressed for all 4K users, that is something they’d push at Gary to work into a future release. Gary is pretty responsive to feedback and new ideas, and the rest of the guys just try to help out those with questions so Gary can focus less on answering emails and more on developing his VoiceAttack program.

But yea, if you’re literally just scrapping to get your one profile working so you can play, I understand if you don’t want to resolve your 4K scaling issue since it will be a non-issue so soon anyway. Still, I’ve tried my best to communicate your issue to those who know more than me at VA, but again, since I don’t have a 4K monitor myself, I’m not entirely sure what the issue is. If you wanna just toss up a screenshot here, I can forward that to the guys, and be done with it 😉

If not, no worries. Best wishes and good luck! You need any tips or advice on a thing, I’m happy to take a few minutes to have a look at something for ya - really enjoy working with VA, been pushing it’s limits since 2015 and getting pretty good at it’s quirks and such. Cheers!

I just got around to this, and it worked. Thanks,SemlerPDX!

I ended up getting a Plantronics RIG500 which works well for me - I went through a few cheaper headsets and they were all very uncomfortable during long gamging sessions when wearing glasses. The Plantronics headset is really comfortable - sound and mike quality aren’t half bad either (for me).

@sunrrrise:

Nice!
Hoover, did you figure it out how to prepare commands profile faster than typing and clicking them one by one?

I have - I pretty much wrote one command, and copied it for every radio menu command (with minor variations) in my public profile. First command structure was one-by-one, line by line, but then it’s pretty much a copy-paste job for a few hundred commands that reads a single table like a config file. VA commands can be a pain to make, but if you do it right or download a good working profile, it’s a mostly painless voice control program.

My profile shows an advanced example of a Push To Talk system for using hotkeys to activate the listening feature for the profile only, rather than the entire VA program (so you can have master profiles for windows functions, etc.)
Feel free to check it out, had not wanted to make a full post here until I get it out of this final beta, and then ran into a little snag with my website download section that has postponed full release - should be out soon and will make post here.

This is a profile example which controls only the in-game Radio Menus with a focus on immersion & freedom of speech for ways to call the commands (in English), but would love to work with other languages. All things said BY the profile are in one “config” like command. Would love some international feedback regarding recognition or use with alternate speech engines:

Thanks Fish, I will check it out.

@POLARIS1:

Interesting in adding regular ATIS calls to VA commands as part of regular comms on UHF “…with information Hotel…”
Problem is every single letter can be used depending on time of flight.

Not sure how this helps but since BMS wouldn’t understand your ATIS calls anyway the only reason to do this would be for good comms, more useful in MP environments. I would go the approach of using / making a VA profile that ignored everything but what is in the comms menu.

I use VA profile from here and it allows you to make calls like:

Kunsan Ground, Falcon1, four ship F-16, request taxi for departure

or in your case:

Kunsan Approach Falcon1 with Information {ATIS ID}, request landing

Only the words in Italics above would be recognized by VA. Everything else is ear candy but it does very well for immersion. I use this all the time and it helps with working on good comms in MP as it allows you to get used to making IRL comm calls (mostly)

Still using VAC on the principle of “If it ain’t broke…”

Config file is included in the install (\Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs\01 Input Devices\04 VAC & TIR\VAC folder) in QWERTY, QWERTZ and AZERTY keyboard formats. This was updated for 4.34 from my 4.33 and 4.32 profiles, which were based on Dee-Jay’s 4.32 profile.

I’ve tried some of the others, but as they’re all using the same underlying Windows speech recognition engine I don’t think it really makes any difference which one you use. Find the one you like the look of if you intend to set it up from scratch, or tweak one already available to your tastes, then enjoy the immersion boost.

I discovered another small issue with this profile which I’ll hopefully be able to fix when addressing the entire flight using “4”. Maybe I’m not entirely clear about the syntax yet, but [2, 4;] is “either or”, right?

I’ll post an update once I find a solution.

All the best, Uwe

@RogueSqdn:

Just thought I’d save everyone some typing. I’m modifying Terminator’s profile for my own purposes, and putting all callsigns in one profile. And when I say ALL, I mean ALL. 😉

@RogueSqdn Any chance you can send me your updated Voice Attack profile….Id like to give it a try thanks

Also when I added the voice file from the first post I got this pop up, Is this a problem?

Anyone know if its possible to use the DX callbacks for comms from within Voice Attack?

I noticed that if you use a DX callback for comms it doesn’t call the menu as its not pressing key commands. I think this would be cool and more immersive. Kind of like how Viacom Pro works for DCS world. For those not familiar with Viacom Pro it is a VoiceAttack plugin that interacts with DCS via Lua scripting. I think such a plugin could be written for BMS using Direct Callbacks instead of key presses.

I’ve been thinking about this for a bit and think that the only way to do this is to setup VJoy as separate controller(s) and then map those VJoy buttons to comms callbacks in BMS. Once that is done then map all the comms calls in VoiceAttack to those VJoy buttons. Sounds like a lot of work but the upside is that you get a more immersive experience by not seeing the comms menu pop up.

Now the big question is, how many VJoy controllers is required to map all the comms calls.

Looking at the https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?35999-DEVs-Do-you-have-a-lists-of-all-radio-commands-in-4-34 comms call sheet that is posted in this forum the number of VJoy buttons I’d need is 218.

@Easy:

…

I also made a little script to quickly copy multiple to other callsign files and added a function that will allow voice activated switching of profile to whichever callsign. see post #1

I think it means to make a profile with only one callsign from the common callsigns, based on a voice activated callsign. Could you explain a little more than post #1 on how to use this feature?

My situation was different. No MP e using Voice Attack…

Thank you Keyspeech, i will have a look at it tomorrow, the whole migration to windows 10 as been painful, i put it off as long as i could, been a windows 7 lover for so long thanks for your help, oh and its a great App

File is fixed, just checked everything in game, should be OK now 🙂
