Hi there,Just like to say that the new 2010 series is fantastic, good on ya guys.I was wondering if there is an Optional toggle switch for the mike on the FS2Crew panel or a optional key on the keyboard to toggle on/off the mike.The reason i ask is so when i use FS2Crew [2010 series] and Vatsim at the same time i have to deactivate and activate the voice recognition when ever i want to talk to the ATC and not my FO [FS2Crew]or the other way around. If there isn't one now i would like to suggest an option like the way i use the mike with VATSIM, ie i just press a key to talk. Maybe make an optional key stroke to switch off the mike for FS2Crew so the same key can be used for both VATSIM and FS2Crew. [ when VATSIM mike is active the FS2Crew is not].Kind RegardsFletch.

We can add a key command in a future update to be able to quickly toggle the Voice recognition system on/off.However, have you tried making a flight on VATSIM with the speech recognition system left on?It's unlikely that the words you speak to the VATSIM ATC would trigger a response from the FS2Crew FO because the phrases FS2Crew are looking for are precise and specific.Try it and see what happens.Cheers,

Hi there Bryan,Thanks for your quick reply.I have used FS2Crew with VATSIM and as you mentioned it did not trigger any commands at this stage, however it did pick up on some of the words i used for ATC and typed them up the top. To be fare to you guys at FS2Crew i do not have a set of head phones and my mike is not what i would call an expensive one either, so i expect that FS2Crew is also picking up what the ATC are also saying, via my speakers.This i found to be a small problem even without VATSIM. Without a headset and good quality mike i found that when i called for flaps 5 and the FO would repeat flaps 5, it would then hear itself [through the speakers] and think i said flaps 1, then call out flaps 1 [and set flaps1] A small problem i get for not having a head set i guess. [that toggle key may also help here too.]Thanks for your time.fletch.

Hi Fletch,Even if the speech recognition system picks up "words" from your chatter with on-line ATC (and displays them in the green bar), it's unlikely those words will trigger an event, and that's the important thing.As for the speech recognition picking up the FO's voice through your speakers, and dropping the flaps because it hears the FO say 'flaps', I'm not sure what to say other than trying using a headset :-) You can get one pretty cheap for like $30.Is there a way you can turn down the 'sensitivity' on your mic? Perhaps that might help.Cheers,

Thanks again Bryan,I've put in my x-mass wish list so it want be too long before i get a headset. lol.As you mentioned though, it isn't realy an issue, it's more like a suggestion...All in all i love the new way to use FS2Crew, it feels a lot more interactive and realistic.Have a good one.Kind RegardsFletch.
