VoiceAttack in DCS is Really Useful | Tutorial 

Definitely! I recently heard about it, but man, I absolutely love it. Great name by the way, ANIMALS and DOGS all the way! I love my Floyd hahaha!

Not a problem. Happy to help.

Cheers buddy much appreciated. I'll definitely bind that PTT. I'm using a few different profiles already depending on which module I'm flying. Thanks the tips, really appreciate it 👍.

Nice, that's a great idea!

I've been using it for Jester in the F14 along with the VAICOM Pro plugin (Now Free) mainly to Larp in MP with the Dynamic mode. You are a genius, I never thought of using it for the FC3 aircraft where nothing is clickable! Gamechanger!

Very welcome, glad you enjoyed it 🍻

Just got dcs this is amazing voice attack is crazy good.👍

Cheers buddy! I'll definitely check that out, thanks man.

No problem 👍

Cheers buddy, glad it helped 👍

Cheers buddy, much appreciated. I'm definitely going to setup a PTT bind for it, that's a great idea!

Interesting. My audio is set to 80%. It could possibly be my headphones and software? I'm using ASTRO A50s, and have noise cancelling/muffling checked under my microphone properties.

🍻

Yup. You can even add a Push To Talk bind to your hotas or keyboard so if you're using chat like SRS it won't interfere with VoiceAttack. I personally don't play a lot of multiplayer so I haven't done all that yet, but other comments have suggested it.

Quite the comment. Cheers for your opinion. I have a different view/an opinion on the matter but that's OK, my videos aren't for everyone. I appreciate the comment, I'm always curious about both sides of the argument. Have a great day.

I also have a different take: as we don't actually have cockpits with unlimited buttons and switches, it makes no sense to expect a hotas to house all commands. What's more real pilots don't have to deal with a combersome process of using a mouse, which is far slower than the realsim you are striving for. VR users are even more handicapped by not being able to see either keyboard or mouse. I do though appreciate your commitment to realism but you accusations of "cheating' is excessive given real pilots have far better access and ease of control, not to mention actually being able to feel gravity/turbulance/forces on planes. In short, even with Voice Attack, you are still greatly limited in terms of simulation compared to real world piloting. Until we have chips implanted in our brains for simulations, virtual piloting will never be the equivalent to real world aviation.

I was also going to mention, I don't have the muscle memory in my mouse or keyboard, while I'm looking away, possibly going defensive for my life to know exactly where my hand would go in the cockpit to flick a switch. I also appreciate the commitment to realism and he lost me at the cheating bit as well. Still though, a valid opinion.

@@generalgrevous2458 You are ignoring the hand tracking in the DCS. I don't have keyboard and mouse in my VR pit. I haven't had those for years. I only have the real HOTAS bindings in my HOTAS. So if there isn't a function to example landing gear in the throttle, then I don't have it there either, or if the TDC is in throttle and not in stick, then I have it in throttle. Only expecting is the FC3 modules, because you can't fly those with real HOTAS controls and they don't operate realistically. The virtual cockpit that you see, it is my cockpit. Because of this, I have learned every cockpit as they say "back of my hand". I know where to move my hands before operating cockpit. I know the startup sequence not by checklist, but by where to go around me. Flying is like driving. You don't anymore think about it. You don't think what gear you switch, or when to use blinker or how to operate clutch when you switch gears or to check your blind angles before switching lanes. When you install bass shakers to chair, you get feedback about AoA, g forces and various other factors like RPM etc. You get to maintain wanted flight parameters pretty much without looking instruments. Getting rid of the keyboard and mouse is like first time flying with VR, you don't never want to go back! Can you imagine the feeling that when you need to example arm your weapons, that you just extend your arm to where master arm switch is, glance it and flip it? The feeling when you get to hear target coordinates over radio, and you just input the numbers to UFC with your thumb? The feeling that when you need to eject, you move your hands above your head to trigger ejection as the handles are above your head? That is the immersion! To get better, you need a accurate and fast motion platform that can do excellent +/-5 degree motions. Next step from that is the real sentrifuge that would give real G and experience to fly upside down. In real world you are limited by g force. You are not a superman flipping things around while you pull 5-7+ g. Your arm weights by average about 5.5 kg, or about 13 lbs. At 2 g it weights 11 kg, at 4 g it is 22 kg, at 6 g it is 33 kg, and at 9 g it is about 50 kg. Trying to move it, accurately to touch something etc, that is.... Let's say "challenging". Even alone trackIR gives supernatural capability to look at your six, way that is unrealistic. Just think about what you need to do look directly behind your car, and now think about doing it at 3-5 g turn? Your whole body, by average weight of 80 kg as man in fit shape, weights 240-500 kg. Your head alone, weights about 5 kg, and all that is supported by your neck. Average combat helmet weights about 2.5 kg, so now you're about 7.5 kg. At 3.5 g turn your head weight is same as one bag of cement (25kg). Add a 200 g NVG to above and front of your helmet, and you will feel such imbalance that it is annoying. So next time when you go to gym, take a 20 kg weight bag, place it on your head when laying on the floor, and try to lift your head from floor and look at your sides... And none of that is about visual capability. The multiple different effects, losing colors, blurry peripheral, "sparkling lights" etc effects in vision. And all while trying to see through a canopy that isn't clear as crystal, doesn't give perfect visual outside in many conditions. And it is not cheating to be able just constantly look around, tracking a enemy at your six, while pulling 5-9g? And one would need to be able just flip switches, press buttons, rotate knobs etc without challenge in many flight conditions? I have even learned to keep my hands on HOTAS properly based the g forces. My limitation to look around is by physics that how much I can turn my head. And there are some annoying stuff to do, like example KA-50 the right rear wall that has some switches like rocket type selector or check some pressure etc. Like have you tried to operate anything behind your right shoulder? That is why in KA-50 I don't have asymmetrical loadouts for rockets or bombs, because I can't switch the computer calculation profile without some gymnastics... And trying to do that while flying, even when having a non-centering joystick between legs, is anything but easy. The usage of virtual cockpit is so terrific experience as learning and operation is very very fun. And now amazing feature is that finally we can adjust mirrors! So many times I reach hand at mirror to get it angle corrected, to just have it turning off or on. Using radio to communicate with AI is stupid, as your can't be as fluid and proper as with other human. That will understand what you are doing. You don't get that interaction, like human GCI that actually is like your wingman, updating you constantly, without you requesting same thing all the time... But it is something that you can at least get to know your options to talk to AI, instead try to remember what it was now to say, or does speech recognition understand your speech at the moment.

I would absolutely love to sim in something like that! Clearly that's your passion and it really was incredible reading how you described it all. Hats off to you sir for the dedication and I understand we're you're coming from. Not everyone plays to that same level, so voice recognition software, rather basic or advanced, is useful for a lot of people. But once again, I appreciate your opinion and it was actually enlightening reading your comment.

Ah that sucks man. Heard it has issues with the Scottish one as well.

Cheers buddy, much appreciated 👍
