AVCS4 Immersive Voice Control Radios for VoiceAttack
-
Ok, I think I tried that, but will try it again. Thanks.
-
Actually it should be enabled, which is also what is shown in this video
It is sort of working I found out, but some commands are not stopped by PTT, for example “taxi for departure” here, while “wingman say fuel” is.

Oops, sorry… I am not using PTT mode. Thanks for clarifying!

Just because you see it appear as a recognized command in the VoiceAttack Event Log does not mean that it is not respecting the PTT mode you have set in the “Default (macros only)” mode.
Please test by opening a simple notepad and placing the cursor while you have PTT mode enabled, and DO NOT depress any of your PTT keys or buttons. Say the commands, “Wingman Say Fuel”, and see if it types out any letters/numbers, and then do the same for “Request Taxi for Departure” - please report back if you see any letters/numbers typed by either of these commands while PTT mode is enabled and you are not pressing the PTT key/button.

((off topic … thank you very much to “Echo” for the coffees!! ))

@SemlerPDX You’re right It’s not registering the commands when the PTT button is not activated, even if VA says it recognises it.
Notepad shows nothing, unless PTT button is pushed, in which case it types the commands. Excellent
-
@SemlerPDX I am still having issues with my wildcard commands unfortunately. I’ve trained my speech model 5 times I think.
When I say “<wildcard> request landing”, it doesn’t recognize it but when I just say “request landing” it recognizes it (though not very well I admit, probability around 55). If I pause after my wildcard briefly, that also works.
-
@sepruda Unfortunately, that is a limitation of voice recognition, and a brief pause between words can help. There are other features of VoiceAttack which can help, but the most simple option is a brief pause - and learning how brief this can actually be for a successful recognition of that particular command that is giving you problems.
For these commands which are troublesome to you, you might try a special option on the command level - first say this command without a wildcard to get it to appear as ‘recognized’ in the VoiceAttack Event Log, then double-click that command … it will open the command editor and the editing screen for this command.
Next, as a test, you can try changing the Recognition style for this command to “Continuous” … for commands which begin with a wildcard, the “Restricted Continuous” would not be appropriate. All commands are set to “Normal” by default, as this option is not always required and may also require individuals to set or test a “Confidence” level override in these commands as well (on a per-command basis). If, for example, your default Confidence level set in the Main VoiceAttack Options Menu under the Recognition tab along the top (or in the profile options of a profile) is set to something like “50”, setting it here to a “65” would override that setting and apply a “65” for this command only. Try first without changing this, and increase/decrease as applicable for additional refinement when using the “Continuous” recognition style.
-
@SemlerPDX I find the “brief pause” you mention really helps.
-
The brief pause is definitely an option. I tried setting a command to continuous, it didn’t have any immediate effect. I can try tweaking it.
My dream scenario would be that I can issue commands and talk in the radio in a multi-player setting. That would be very awesome.

@SemlerPDX Do your BMS voice commands differentiate between Weapons Free AG and Weapons Free AA?

Yes. The following three default command phrases handle these radio command calls (respectively)
Weapons Free - Air Weapons Free - Ground Weapons Free
edit: Saying “Weapons Free” is the same as saying “Air Weapons Free”

@SemlerPDX Hello!
Is there a way to bind multiple push to talk? I would like to use VHF UHF for most commands but I would like to use another one that would work with all of those.
Example:
[UHF_key] “Texaco 1, Viper 1-1, Done refueling”If the command works, no issue but if it doesn’t I would like to be able to push another key (that won’t transmit my voice to players) to just repeat the command “Done refueling”.
Is that possible?
Thank you! -

Thank you!You can set up to 6 total joystick, mouse, or keyboard buttons in my PTT system.
Just say, “Add a Push to Talk Button”, to access this menu.
Say, “Edit a Push to Talk Button”, to alter existing PTT settings.
If you get stuck or have any other questions, let me know and I’ll be glad to help!
Happy Holidays! -
@SemlerPDX Brilliant… Sorry, it was a bit too easy
Thank you for your quick answer this seems to be perfect and I won’t destroy other’s immersion by repeating myself 3 times on the coms.
Happy Holidays and thank you for this wonderful profile. -
Voice attack wants to update to a newer version, do I need to back up any files first?
If so which ones?
Thanks -

ThanksYou do not need to backup any files first, you can update VoiceAttack anytime without issues. The only file(s) you should ever need to backup for AVCS4 profiles would be the save file, and you can access an integrated function for this by saying, “Open the Save File Menu” – choose the final option (#8) to Create a Shadow Copy of the current AVCS4 BMS Save File:
Follow the prompts to choose a destination folder, and press OK to finish. From that same Save File Menu, you can choose the option to Restore a Save File from a Backup, if ever needed.
Again, this is not required for any VoiceAttack updates, or updates to my own profile, unless you want to just for peace of mind.

@SemlerPDX
Hi! Just wondering if there’s an option to just show the comms menu? I’ve not flown for a while so I could be mis-remembering or maybe they’ve changed the wording slightly so some of my old phrases no longer work. If I could bring up a comms menu and then either select an option from it (ie, “t, t, 2”) or close the comms menu and speak a command phrase, that would be really helpful.If this option does not exist, that’s fine, I can just put a page on my kneeboard. Thanks!
-
@Atlas you could also augment AVCS with your own custom profile that has T, Y, 1, 2 etc

@Atlas
For now, you can say, “Open the Command Reference”, to see this list of command phrases (including dynamic options) and an infographic of all in-game radio menus:

Hi! I believe I just tried this but I’m flying in VR and I think it just opened up a browser window. I’d love to be able to show it inside VR.@S3NTRY
I’ve got almost negligible VA skills so I would more likely break the profile than add usefulness to it
