September 9, 200916 yr Hello Bryan - I am thinking of purchasing the Heavy Hitters pack but I have a few questions before I do:I see that you have produced a Voice Commander for the default 737, are you working on doing the same for the PMDG, Level-D etc. aircraft as well? For each phase preflight, taxi, takeoff etc. how many mouse clicks are required to achieve satisfactory results where it provides a smooth transition from one phase to another? I watched a promo video where the PF called out settings and the PNF completed the task, can you explain how this is achieved?Looking forward to hearing from you. \Robert Hamlich/

Voice commander for the PMDG 747, MD11 and 767.... There's a good chance it'll happen, but it depends how well voice is received. It's too early to tell. But it'll be a long way down the road as I have to release the Jetstream and Mad Dog first.2. Mouse clicks: Basically extremely few. Most of the transitioning from phase to phase is automatic. You'll use a keyboard or joystick button to run the checklists and callouts, etc.3. How do I achieve all this? I use the ancient secrets of C++ :( Seriously, though, we can read a lot of data out of the sim and the aircraft, and that's how it's done.All the best, B.

Forgot to ask, if I would like to try the Level D 767 version only before purchasing the Heavy Hitters pack is there a discount available when I do?Thanks, \Robert Hamlich/

So you'll think that won't be a commercial success, and we'll never have an MD11 or 747 or 767 version... It's a never ending story....Maybe you could release a demo version of Voice Commander for Default 737 limited to 15 minutes of flight or limited to a specific area around an airport. Outside the limit the program will stop working. So we have a chance to test and give feedback ? :( St Location : FMEE

Really adds to the immersion of the sim.Heck I owned the Stand Alone 767 for awhile, then bought the heavy hitter as I had the ATR and MD11. Picked up the Voice Command for the default 737 and waiting for Bryan to release the maddog and JS41.His stuff is fantastic and really top notch customer service! John Skibo

LOL, I purchased the Heavy Hitters pack anyway but have not installed it yet, I will give it a try this week.Best,Robert \Robert Hamlich/

There is no discount available I'm afraid. If you want to know what the 767 version is like, your best bet is just to go onto YouTube and search for FS2Crew 767.There are numerous videos there showing what it looks like in action.Best, B.

October 7, 200916 yr Hi Bryan,Question about purchasing the download verions of the heavy hitter pack for fsx (i have all of those planes). Would I ever have any future installation issues should I need to reinstall my OS ( i do this from time to time) and is installation and validation easy? I get a bit nervous sometimes buying downloads out of concern that I will one day not be able to reinstall.Thanks, Pete Pete Solov - Lake in the Hills 3CK and Schaumburg Regional 06CProud AOPA Member - PPL 2001Real World Piper Cherokee Pilot
October 7, 200916 yr Commercial Member Hello Pete,You won't have any re-install issues with Heavy Hitters.To be safe, though, I always recommend backing up your downloads to a DVD or CD.Cheers, B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
