Thank you for taking the time to make this 'to the point' tutorial. I bought the software thanks to your advice, and got it up and running within minutes. My simulator has taken another level of realism now. Thanks once again, and all the best! Ken

[@LazerboltVids]

Awesome Ken. I love a good success story, glad this helped. Like I say in the video, it's deceptively simple, but works like a charm. Cheers

[@teddy_the_eddy3559]

Wow thank you so much! I looked for something simple (and free/cheap) and this is exactly what i was looking for!

[@LazerboltVids]

I glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching

[@TheOriginalCoda]

I'm a pilot IRL, and I'm wondering what will happen when I call the tower "request taxi via alpha , one point one" 🤣 You're doing good work, keep it up please!

[@handoromper7987]

Cheers mate awesome plugin and a great explanation on setting it up. I don't need more than 20 commands but I do believe if you use a product then you should pay for it si I did. Adds way more fun to the sim.

[@LazerboltVids]

I agree. It just "feels" cool talking to atc and they respond correctly. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@jonkarl123]

want to thank you. Adds greatly to game

[@johnf6545]

Awesome worked perfectly, will practice with this before moving to vatsim, thanks! Ok one little problem, the AI ATC no longer returns my radio calls. Was working perfectly before installing this, tried starting the sim with or without voiceattack on, will see if I can figure it out or uninstall it.

[@steveclarkemedia]

Interesting. Thanks.

[@adr1uno638]

Thats cool, I hope at some point tey'll integrate Cortana to the Sim. They already know the tech, why not use it 🤔

[@skyhigh776]

Wow, this is amazing. Gonna check this out later.

[@LazerboltVids]

Hey thanks buddy

[@CarlosELugo]

Awesome!!!

[@qatsi4897]

Nice to see that this works! The only thing remaining is to remove all the pilots phrases from the en-US.locPak file.

[@LazerboltVids]

OMG you may have just helped me solve an issue that has been nagging me for a long time. FSX had a handy option to turn off pilot voices while leaving the ATC voices in tact and I was wishing that the new sim had it too. It never crossed my mind to straight up remove the phrases from the file! Great tip, thanks!

[@NOT-Dantes-Doaenel]

could i just delete the file?

[@katherinelichte1938]

Sounds very technical! But cool!

[@dkb2080]

wow this the best one

[@dieterdressel5425]

tried with demo version but didn´t work for me. The single commands i.e. *point one one alone works fine, but not spoken with other text as in the vid

[@richardmehalick9076]

Have you been working with Voice Attack for VR flying yet?

[@kennykanada]

Very cool, and simple to set up. I used to use a fabulous atc program in FSX called VOXatc. It actually followed your real voice and answered back on dozens of atc commands. Anyone remember it? Can’t understand why this program or something similar isn’t already out there.

[@LazerboltVids]

I remember Vox ATC well. Good question. It would be nice if somebody was working on that. Thanks for watching

[@skyhigh776]

I used VoxATC in P3D and it adds so much to immersion!

[@kennykanada]

@@skyhigh776 I used it in FSX. Wish it was available for MSFS, like full-screens without 3D cockpits. So many great old features are not available anymore. Sad.

[@fernandoc.8765]

Hi, it might be a stupid question but you explain it all like it's simple. But I don't quite understand when to end a command with Foxrtrot 1.1 or Delta 1.1 etc ?

[@LazerboltVids]

Hi Fernando, thats a very reasonable question actually. Whenever you say one of the numbers like delta 1.1 or foxtrot 4.4 it is just like pressing the number on the keyboard. Just say the number corresponding to the list of actions on the ATC window for whatever interaction you want. As long as you say the 1.1 or 4.4 etc at the end of a sentence, you can say ANYTHING before that and it will still press the correct key. I hope this helped and thanks for watching.

[@fernandoc.8765]

@@LazerboltVids Oh, okay. Now that I know...it's simple. Thank you very much .

[@joeyjjjjj]

Lazerbolt, Many thanks for this, you are a life saver. One question, have you managed to remove all the pilots phrases from the en-US.locPak file? I have opened the file in notepad but there is a lot of stuff there. What do you remove? Thanks for any help.

[@LazerboltVids]

Hi Joey, thanks for the kind words. Here's a link to the video I watched that explains this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV6TiYSorJdsoqM This fella does a great job of showing how to do this. Remember that it's important to use coms channel 2 and not channel 1 after removing the phrases or you may experience some side effects. Thanks for watching!

[@fernandoc.8765]

Hello, I installed Voice Attack and entered for MSFS ATC 8 key commands from *seven point seven point - to *zero point zero to . Selected Continuous Speech. But ATC did not respond. Do I sometimes need a plugin , or Windows 10 speech recognition ?

[@LazerboltVids]

[@spatialpro]

Can you just clarify whether or not what you say prior to "one point one" etc. etc. actually activates anything in ATC? Isn't it just the bit at the end that triggers the optional ATC call/response?

[@LazerboltVids]

Hi Andy, Thanks for watching. Yes, voiceattack is triggering the correct ATC selection by only listening for the "one point one" part. You can literally say anything before that point. The reason why you don't want to simply make the command "one" or "two" etc.. is because one-word-commands result in a lot of false triggers of the voice recognition.

[@fernandoc.8765]

Hello, 29 times ended up saying to ATC Ryanair 1.1 Voice Attack understood me only 1 time . Very annoying. It works so smoothly for you in the video. However, I articulate clearly. Voice pack responded directly only 1 time. Luckily I have the trial version. Would love to buy it. But if it doesn't work, that money is wasted. Have I forgotten a setting? Sincerely, Fernando.

[@LazerboltVids]

Hi Fernando, I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be working for you. All I can suggest is to make sure you’re in a quiet room with headphones so you don’t have a bunch of background noise like people talking, TV set blasting, even the game audio.

[@fernandoc.8765]
