About This File


*Please be sure to download the AVCS CORE Profile from this download section as well, it is now a requirement for any AVCS4 game profile I release, such as the upcoming Elite Dangerous profile, and more... 
 

*Originally, this was designed for Falcon BMS version 4.34 - since then, it has always been and will continue to be updated to work with the latest version of Falcon BMS. Pro tip: never include a game version in URL's or graphics ;)

AVCS4 BMS Title

Profile for VoiceAttack
by =VG= SemlerPDX

Description:

These commands use VoiceAttack to translate the in-game on-screen radio menus from AWACS through Tanker into natural and intelligent voice command phrases that will fire keypress macros to help keep hands on the throttle and stick, and maintain immersion.  As an additional option, these commands can be locked behind a push-to-talk mode bound to your UHF/VHF transmit buttons in-game, allowing any other VoiceAttack command unrestricted access if needed, while still restricting these BMS radio command macros.  Finally, this single advanced control profile is extremely easy to edit or integrate into other profiles.

At VETERANS-GAMING, we fly with friends or AI Pilots, or a mix of both on our 24/7 Public Korean Campaign in Falcon BMS. We may go out with an AI wingman only to have a friend take their place mid-flight.  For this reason and others, I created this VoiceAttack profile based around restricting when the computer can execute keypress macros that match voice phrases, having to first check if that pilot was set to a human pilot and therefore disregard commands for that pilot.

Thanks to user requests during the beta, there is now an optional mode to reverse the Human Pilots system, to assume all pilots are humans unless told otherwise, and also a system to choose a different keyboard layout than QWERTY.  I have also added an optional Audio Feedback Mode to play a short radio cue sound when a command is successfully recognized.

Included is a single profile that handles every callsign and radio command variation in Falcon BMS, with instructions on how to add any custom callsigns to the single profile. The focus of this profile is only on the in-game Radio Menus, and creating an immersive interaction layer through VoiceAttack that is easy to manage and update, or integrate into other Voice Control systems for Falcon BMS.  My goal was an intuitive system, so there is no user manual - only a few infographics and quick reference pic of all the radio commands.  I personally keep that final pic on my tablet for reference when flying, to find radio commands I seldom used in the past when they were more difficult to access while busy with HOTAS in the pit.

Say goodbye to the keyboard, and enjoy the immersion! Cheers!

Hi Semler

Great work, thank you! 

One problem though with 1.42: I am using the Microsoft Speech Recognizer for Windows  (English - US) and a Swiss German keyboard. The command "regquest air refueling" is recognized correctly and produces a "y1" response being sent to the acitve window. I tried everything to turn it into the correct "z1"  but I'm darned if I know how. Please help - greatly appreciated.

Btw: do you have a Paypal adress to show my appreciation?

Regards

Glad you got it figured out!  When I first released AVCS4 BMS, I didn't even realize I had to account for QWERTZ or AZERTY style layouts, even the difference in decimal number separators threw me for a loop.

Thankfully, with feedback from users, I think pretty much everything we could want is covered by a voice command these days... you can even open a help menu (say, "Open the Help Menu") ;)

I greatly appreciate any support, my AVCS systems were literally hundreds of hours of work (with love) over a few years of development, and I'm really just getting started now that I've learned C# and even more about object oriented programming.  Can't wait to redo all my menus with fancy GUI's like my AVCS SENS utility profile and even more optimized and efficient systems, applying what I've learned since 2019.
