Can anyone give me an idiots guide to using this utility, I only fly locally (South East England), and find the manual confusing for a newbie. I'd like to create my own Pilot voice for local flying with ATC.

Hi,If you are new to sound editing, then I think it's probably too difficult (it certainly is for me). You need to create named markers which takes a relatively sophisticated wav editor, and you need to create over 9,000 wav files to create the new sound pack - that will take days and days!!Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Thanks for replying. What about if I just wanted to change local airports and my aircraft, is this possible ?

Hi,Yes, it's possible.1. Download the GVP Decompiler from AVSIM (it's for FS2002, but works with FS2004).2. Decompile the GVP file into all the wave files and XML file.3. Re-record the wav files you want to change, in the Pilot's folder you want to use.4. Recompile the GVP file using the MS ATC Voicepack SDK compiler.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

What about EditVoicepack? I find it very easy to use with a short learning curve and you can change or add quite a few things to your liking. Another plus - it is freeware.http://www.editvoicepack.com/

Hi,I agree that Editvoicepack is the best way to change the wording and phrases that ATC uses. I thought by "new pilot voice" he wanted to create a new pilot using his own voice (and accent). My method does that. If not, then he should download EVP, I agree.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
