Hi Folks,
While I normally use RC4 for IFR flights - I've always used default ATC for VFR flights... I haven't come across anything that really improves on this...
So recently I started messing around with generic voice control - and while I've tried a couple products I've settled on Voice Attack - it has the most intuitive easy to use interface and does just about everything I can think of... It's actually fun to setup and uses the MS Speech engine to talk to you... Obviously there is no real interaction between VA and P3D - and it is just sending keystrokes... Someone mentioned you can build in interaction via SPAD but I haven't looked into that yet (reading/writing LVARS and such)...
I'm working on mapping out all the default ATC commands for voice control... It's light years better than hunting for numbers or menu selections via the mouse... Now I just say "Turning Base" and it makes the call...
So - instead of reinventing the wheel - I was wondering - has anyone ever mapped out all the ATC menus ?
The menus change due to your proximity to the airport and such - which does throw us a curve - still I should be able to create something easier than pressing numbers or navigating menus....
Thanks...
Regards,
Scott
