<p>@Snake122 <br /><br />I think this explains why you don’t see them in todays inventory, they used to work.<br /><br />The LAU-88/A Triple-Rail Missile Launcher was manufactured by Hughes for use with the AGM-65 Maverick. The Maverick is fired either from single-rail LAU-117/A or triple-rail LAU-88/A launchers, and AGM-65 units, such as the A-10 and F-16, use both the LAU-88 and LAU-117 launchers.<span style=“background-color:#bbbbbb”> The newest Mavericks are not compatible with the LAU-88 – the Maverick-G only goes on certain versions of the LAU-117. While the LAU-88 can carry them, the drag index with three missiles is quite high.</span> A modified LAU-88/A is usually fitted to high-performance aircraft, offering a reduced-drag fairing (up to 60% in certain flight profiles). The F-16 aircraft has nine hardpoints for weapons and payloads, with ordnance launched from the LAU-88 launchers from Hughes, along with other similar systems.<br /></p>

<p>Just a quick note for Linux users Voice Attack can be used I have it setup using the following instructions: <a href=“https://reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/g1bbos/guide_to_getting_voiceattack_and_hcs_voicepacks” target=“_blank”>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/g1bbos/guide_to_getting_voiceattack_and_hcs_voicepacks/</a><br /><br />Yes these instructions are for Elite Dangerous but if you follow them it will work for Falcon BMS.<br /><br /><br />Also if you have it installed thru Lutris you can download the files and execute them in the prefix and run winetricks to add the dotnet stuff.</p>

<p>@Jetsun it was a slippery slope, I made a few passes and got in a hurry and damaged my gear did another go around and then Bingo, so the choice was either put it on the ground or eject. I chose to put it down and I ended up skidding off the runway.</p>

<blockquote>@Freejack <br /><br />That’s very great news, thanks for sharing! Does this setup make use of the windows voice recognition packs? <br /><br />Sadly I’ve found Linux speech recognition / snythesis severely lacking. <br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />Uwe </blockquote><p><br />It uses the packs mentioned to be installed in the link. It is the microsoft speech engine and packs.</p>

<p>@justonce01 working 100% and if using lutris you can create a script to pre-launch so once in you do not have to start it. I will also create a script to shutdown on exit.</p>

<blockquote>@Freejack drag is certainly part of it, good point on not being able to carry newer Mavericks. Another rumor is that either the missile back blast or motor plug of the most inboard LAU-88ed Maverick can cause damage to the flaps or elevator.</blockquote><p><br />Hence carry on a single LAU-117/A, center rack position would sit lower than the 2 on the side of the LAU_88/A. Just thought it was interesting about why and the new Maverick would have newer avionics and a newer engine which probably gives it greater distance and more stability.</p>

<p>I would use Foxvox in Linux if I could get the window to not go black on my after 30 secs. I load it in a wine prefix just fine and it launched just fine with no errors until the window went black.<br /><br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/xIhVN5M.png” /><br /><br />Turns Into this once I click in the window:<br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/bweM7Y0.png” /></p>

<p>@drtbkj Thank you that will work…</p>

<p>@danster I will give it a shot and see how badly I can make a mess of it.</p>
