May 20, 201115 yr I plan on getting the new iFly737, and I would also like to get the FS2Crew Voice version for this aircraft, which leads me to a couple questions. I have a cheap future shop desktop Mic on a stand (not a headset) that I used when I flew online on Gamespy which seemed to work OK. 1. Can I assume this Mic should also work for FS2Crew? 2. Will the airplane noises coming through my speakers have a negative affect on how the Mic works with FS2Crew, or does the voice recognition sort of look past background airplane noise, so to speak? Will I have to turn my speakers right down to use my Mic?3. I read that I will need a program called SAPI (for Windows XP home edition). I was at the Microsoft website and it's information overload and numerous different downloads. Is the SAPI program a free downloadable program from Microsoft, and can anybody give me a link to which one I need exactly?Thanks for your time. Love Airplanes and American Muscle Cars
May 20, 201115 yr Commercial Member Hi Poncho,1. Mic will work, but for best results I suggest a USB headset. You can pick up a cheap one for around $20. If you don't want to use Voice, you can always get the 'Button Control' version instead.2. Depends... the 737 cockpit isn't that loud so you should be able to get away it... just keep the mic away from the speakers if there is a problem.3. Here's the SAPI link ***ONLY XP users need this.... VISTA/WIN 7 already has it built in).http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/4/3/B4314928-7B71-4336-9DE7-6FA4CF00B7B3/SpeechSDK51.exeJust create a temporary folder on your desktop... when you run the exe it will ask you where you want to unzip the contents to... select the temp folder on your desktop.... then run the new exe from inside that folder.Best, B.
