@Ricky ,
Rgr. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Quick update for tonight. I’ve made a lot of progress. Most commands now work with feedback from the sim.
Even better news: I’ve been in touch with Bogey Dope. He graciously gave me permission to modify and republish his profile for use with BMS. What a great guy! In fact, we’re now talking about hopefully adding some new recordings to the profile to respond to bad situations, like a hot start. I’ll keep you all posted!

Re: Virtual crew chief
BogeyDope has released Version 9 of VCC. It’s available for download hereThis version:
- adds responses if the F-16 pilot is a Female Officer (e.g., “Yes ma’am” instead of “Yes sir” etc.)
- Provides Voice Attack profiles (.vap) for Female Pilots
- Adds a check of the air refueling door to all profiles (last step, after brake checks).
I modified my own profile to add the AAR door checks.

Could it be a first step to get it incorporated into BMS itself?

An early version of the new profile just went to @Tomcattwo, who offered to help out with testing. If nothing super weird comes up, the first release will be very soon.

@Xeno That would be awesome, but I’m not sure I could help with that. Although if the devs would be interested, I would definitely be willing to discuss it. I would really love to try working on all the voices in the game, but I have no idea if my skills are enough to work on the current code.

@Ricky Very cool of you to make this a public offering!! Regarding my note above about adding a check for AVCS4 BMS profile PTT mode, this will appropriately be ignored for users who do not have or use my AVCS profiles, and so is a smart thing to add to your commands which should respect that mode for AVCS users. I have similar checks for things of other authors myself, JanJan’s awesome plugin for VoiceAttack has its own radio commands, and so my profile checks for and nullifies one of his variables so that all of his other commands work yet the radio commands do not such that my own will take priority and function instead. Accounting for the various use case scenarios of end users can be the difference between a good program/system and a great one.
Best wishes and good luck with everything - happy to help if you have technical questions about VoiceAttack, etc.

@SemlerPDX Thanks for the help! @Tomcattwo and I are looking into simply using VoiceAttack itself to include the VCC profile into yours. If we run into any trouble there, I’ll be sure to ask you for advice.
Another update: @Tomcattwo has just sent me his (awesome!) feedback. Really polishing some details here. Once we’ve combined all our work, every single check will respond to the sim.

A hopefully last test version of the profile just went to @Tomcattwo for final testing.
