help with programming Cougar Hotas with Foxy/Korgy software

@Tomcattwo
Thanks for all your help. I also setup the Hat1 to be pan viewing unshifted,and trim shifted. Not sure how to PM you? It would be interesting to see how the cougar DX files look.
Do you know how I can reduce the sensetivity of the microstick? It is hard to control, but getting use to it. Maybe it can be adjusted in the cougar CCP ? -
@white_fang
Voice Attack sounds like a good start. Did you notice any reduction in frame rates by running Voice attack in BMS? Curious.
Thanks again -

No fps drop (there’s no much graphics involved with sound capture process).
It uses some cpu% (voice recognition) , of course. but even for my old “bucket” , but that is negligible.
Windows sapi is part of windows themselves so it is designed already to have minimum impact on system… it is not new tech… some 20?yrs … so, kinda , mature enough. -
@white_fang I’m not a voice attack user but I built FoxVox to handle voice control and it’s free. If you have experienced problems with the Voice Attack recognition you may want to give it a try just as an alternative. Yes, they both use the underlying MS Speech but I guarantee the how is different. I implemented a special recognition layer on top of MS’s standard speech to (hopefully) improve recognition results, especially for deviating and long flexible phrases. It also has a very easy and flexible command structure that allows you to build virtually any output chain… I could do the entire startup sequence using a single voice command if I wanted (which I don’t…just saying - it’s very flexible). It also has a pre-built library you can start with so you don’t need to start from scratch. Anyway, it’s a no-cost alternative you can try if it helps!

@foxster Thanks. I tested it few years ago, when it was still in alpha. I’ll take a look again.
Btw , do you remember - “Shoot” ? - it’s pity no one ported it from NET1.1 (some workaround to Net2.0) after all this years… it was limited , no scripting… but damn it was small and fast. -
@white_fang Hmmm…might have been something else as FoxVox has only been out about a year. It has improved since then though. I never heard about shoot. Sounds like you’ve got some good background with voice control.

@foxster
Yes, ah… my bad… I was thinking about voice control software “Livrot” . similar free project.
I don’t know if I even tested yours… found some old install in dl dir. 1.0.0.0 x64.
But, promise, I’ll take a look for 1.7.7
Thanks, Cheers

I used Shoot extensively for years - I still have a copy on my drives somewhere. In fact, I wrote an extensive Shoot profile to play “Silent Hunter 3” almost entirely mouse/keyboard free using voice commands (in both English and German). Shoot was a great little program.

@white_fang
Shoot, that goes back a ways. One of the first… -
@Badger
Man, did I like it, even played Swat4 with it (that was last sim before going arcade frenchise)… ehHad it working even on win7 (8.1? can’t recall) for FF/AF/BMS, … need Net1.1sp1 - but that was somewhat hard to install on newer windows… don’t remember why exactly, but it was kind of problem - I still have it (shoot) … but kinda, with all the new software, … I guess it deserves its “peace”
Cheers

I’d recommend converting your setup to DX too. The alternative launcher really makes the transition very easy (esp. if all you’re using for BMS at the moment is a HOTAS), and even if you “program” the cougar using nothing but a text editor to create your keyfile it’s not too hard, either (thanks to the excellent technical manual provided with BMS).
Cheers, Uwe
