FoxVox Free voice control software for BMS

@foxster ps foxster if you learn something here, please let me know
there have been reports of similar problems with Alt Launcher – also a WPF app, and also from AMD systems
I relaxed some of the timer-polling frequencies, last version, and that seems to have helped, but I’m not confident I solved it for everyone everywhere
I have no root-cause explanation for what is happening… I’m keen to learn something

@airtex2019 Will do. Problem doesn’t seem superficial, but not sure yet. I’ll fill you in on what I find.

I have a strange problem with FoxVox and I just can’t understand its origin.
I bought new PC couple of months ago. It has AMD cpu and gpu.
I have tried old and new version of FoxVox and problem persist although on the old PC old version works perfectly.Problem:
When I have FV started, in 3D in Falcon BMS when I use FOV (zoom) I get flickering of FOV, and instanly when I close FV it’s all perfect. Same when I open FV again.-you can see here how it looks flickering:
(if doesn’t jump to wanted timestapm, its on 2:48)
Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor 4.50 GH
gpu AMD XR 7800 XT
64.0 GB
Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog A-10C stick
and A-10C throttle -
@k3yb04rd Saw the visual and investigating.
-
@k3yb04rd is the zoom an analog axis or TrackIR?
-
-
@k3yb04rd an easy but interesting test – check your motherboard manual, to see which USB ports are driven by the CPU and which are driven by the PCH/chipset.
try plugging the warthog into each, to see if one works better than the other.
(note, this may scramble the ID of your Warthog as detected by Alt Launcher … so it may require duplicating your
Setup.v100.Joystick - HOTAS Warthog {.....}.xml
file accordingly) -
@airtex2019 I will try that when I get time to do the whole mapping thing.
But I want to know why would that be issue with FoxVox in the first place? I don’t have problem with Hotas Throttle zoom unles FV is started. Instantly I close FV the zoom fix itself, without exiting BMS 3D. -

@pes_ter Thanks for the heads-up! I think I’ve got a solution pending, or at least in progress. I’ll post information about an update very soon.
-
@foxster thank you for your work!
-
@k3yb04rd A new update has been posted. Give it a try and see if it fixes your issue. Anyone else who has experienced performance issues should definitely check out this new version…actually everyone using it should update for better performance.
Special thanks to @jojojung for his help in testing and providing feedback, and also @Wheelchock as always for ensuring everything else stayed working. As always, let me know if you find any bugs or issues and I’ll do my best to fix it.
-
@foxster WinDefender flags the MSI; surely a false positive so just a headsup.
-
@dumba Thanks for letting me know. I’ve recompiled and updated the exe with new signatures so hopefully it gets through. I’ve seen that happen once before where Windows just decides it’s bad…not really sure what trips it, but hopefully it’s fixed now.
Edit: Well apparently that didn’t fix it. Windows just doesn’t like my update apparently. I’ve provided the msi inside a zip file as a workaround for anyone being blocked until the problem can be resolved.
-
I’ve posted a video showing basic startup of FoxVox for new users to get up and running with voice control:
-
@foxster Nope, it didn’t work for me. Same result, when FV is on, on zoom still flickers. When close FV it fixes itself and everything works fine.
Could it be something with AMD graphic drivers?
On old pc I was on Intel and Nvidia, on new one I’m on AMD totally. -
@k3yb04rd I really hoped this release would fix it for you as others had even more severe symptoms which it fixed, and they were on AMD hardware as well. The graphics driver certainly could be a culprit. I’ve seen WPF (what FV uses for its display) have strange problems and behavior with certain graphics drivers - typically older outdated ones. It’s speculative at best, but make sure your driver is up to date. I have a couple of questions for you to try and learn more:
- Do you experience any delays, hangups, or lag with FV itself while operating it?
- Is the flickering immediate or does it seem to build up after a while?
- Do any other analog switches cause the stuttering in BMS other than the zoom, such as moving the radar cursor?
- If you minimize FV to the system tray when running it, does it still flicker in BMS?
- Do you have the zoom mapped only in BMS (not anywhere in FV)?
Perhaps something will help clue me in on what might be going on. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this, but so far others with AMD and using TM Warthog are reporting that everything is working fine.
Edit: Someone else has reported the same issue using the same throttle. Working on it…

Hello,
Is there a way to use the new Windows Voice recognition System ?
I think is was called voice acces. I tryed to train the Windows Voice recognition for the 8 time no and it still dont understands me or like in 1 of 10 times.
I try the new System and it understand my words in 10 out of 10 times. -
@Nightflyer Are you referring to the newer Microsoft Speech Platform? I’m aware of it but haven’t implemented it yet, although I’m certain I could. I’ve been busy with BMS integration and key input but I’ve wanted to add this to the project. I’ll look into it further.

@foxster
That sounds awsome. I really love youre Software and Profil. And iam eager to use it. But i cant get it to work probally with the old speech Engine.
And with the Speech plattform it reallz works flawless. So iam looking really forward to it.
Thanks for all youre work.
