Neues Add-On: Its your plane

[foxmulder2003]

Hi zusammen,

dieses Add-On ist gerade (als Demo zunächst) rausgekommen:

http://www.itsyourplane.com/

It's Your Plane - a very comprehensive and powerful voice control application for Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Use your voice to take control of virtually every cockpit function that is exposed by Pete Dowson's FSUIPC.

The system currently uses Text-To-Speech ("TTS") technology to emulate the First Officer's voice. Once the various checklists and other functionality have been solidified, it is our current plan to change the TTS to "real human" voice recordings.

Hat's schon jemand ausprobiert??? Habe leider kein Mikro...

Vor ein paar Tagen gab's schonmal einen Demo-Flug als MP3-Aufzeichnung: Die Qualität von der Sprachausgabe ist echt roboter-artig...

Gruß,

Bernd

Also das Soundfile auf der Homepage klingt ja echt grottig. Denke nicht, dass sich das durchsetzen wird...

Hört sich an wie Microsoft-Sam!

1.) WideFS Compatibility: is one able to use IYP on a separate PC via Pete Dowson's WideFS?


2.) Voices/Michelle: I note that Michelle's voice is actually one of the MS Speech pack's standard voices. I have a few "addon" voices from the AT&T Natural Voice packs. Normally, with any program that uses the MS Speech system, I can use whatever voice I wish. Is this the case with IYP's Michelle?

3.) Basepack and Expansion Pack Cost(s): any hint on how much the basepack will cost? How about Expansion Packs? I know the latter is still far from release, so I won't hold you to it. Just an idea on cost would be welcome.

4.) Use with Non-default Aircraft: I realize that Michelle won't "work" with complex aircraft like the LD767, PMDG747, etc. (at least right now). However, what about "light" aircraft, such as the Overland 737? Or the POSKY 737 series. These aircraft have no FMCs and use all the standard commands of the default Microsoft 737. Will it work with them? Just curious.

5.) Browser Page change: what happens if, during a flight, the browser page that was open for the IYP launch switches to another page? In other words, what if I accidentally hit a shortcut link to Yahoo and the page changed? Would IYP quit? If so, could the flight be resumed under some condition?

1.) - Yes it should. I can test it tomorrow - my other computer all over the place at the moment.


2.) Yes - I've successfully used AT&T's natural voices.


3.) Don't know - I'll let Robert or Francois answer that.

4.) Not sure - but a valid point. I do not have those on my computer. Do they use the default panel?

5.) Nothing, the IYP application is a separate application.
