Voice Attack Profile - How to Trigger commands after P3D events

[Nico1854 0]

I'm actually trying to build a Voice Attack profile.

 

I would like some commands to initiate after passing P3D events. I think the easiest way would be to send (automatically from P3D )a Key stroke on the event.

 

For example, when I pass above 10'000ft, I want to initiate a command in Voice Attack asking me to switch lights off.

 

Is there a way to get these informations from P3D and how ?

 

Airborne

Passing above transition altitude

Passing above 10'000ft

Passing below 10'000ft

Passing below TA

 

Are there other events that we can get out of P3D to use in other programs such as VA ?

You will have to create a plugin for VoiceAttack that interfaces with the sim via SimConnect.

Ooops,

 

That's out of my capabilities actually. I will check how to in VA user guide because I'm now reading about SimConnect and it does not seem to be easy.

 

Thank's for your answer

hmmmm that apply to interfacing VoiceAttack with FSUIPC?

 

Thanks,

Yes you can do this with Spad.Next which has a plugin for Voice Attack that works. I have used it and confirms that it works. In addition you can send a command from VA to Spad.Next which has logic and direct access to standard events and variables as well as Lvars and self created local variables.You can get it here https://www.fsgs.com/pages/landing-page/.

Hi Terry,

 

Awesome - I've been using VA but didn't know there was a way to truly communicate between P3D and VA... Off to learn... Thanks...

I forgot to mention there is a Vjoy plugin on the VA site that also works for having VA send virtual button pushes which are defined in Spad.Next as it also sees Vjoy sticks.

Looks like an interesting connection....I have been wondering why there was virtually no FSX/P3D chatter here or on the VoiceAttack forums....space games, yes....flight sims...Not_So_Much.

 

Is it possible that VA is an innovative Poor man's MCE?

 

Here is what has been done....though the author seems to be unresponsive...definitely an elderly Brit. Sick? Deceased?

 

What ever...sending him and his, healing vibes!

 

...a shame...we all could learn from this guy...

With the newly released Spad.next VoiceAttack plugin you can execute commands and change Lvars, variables etc. by a voice command but I don't believe you can have sim events trigger a "text to speak" command. I think it's only one way so far.

I was just going through your comments and managed to get Spadnext working with voiceattack. But I am not able to send commands to change the lvars . There isn't much documentation regarding this. 

here is what I did.

installed spadnext and voiceattack + the plugin required to communicate between them.
from spadnext I found out the Lvar I need to change. The name is ATR42_NEEDLE_ASI_BUG ,  its value is 70,  I want to read it from Voice attack and change it to 170. so, I then use the command to Execute an External Plugin Function to get the value and then use set a decimal value to enter the value 170 . However, nothing happens this is the result of the main window  . I don't get any errors, can someone help me what am I missing here ? Is there a way I can print or call out what values I have got from spadnext?

here  are the steps

Let me try and refresh my memory. I haven’t used SPAD.next for almost 2 years, I now use Linda to program all my controllers. I remember it wasn’t obvious, I’ll give it a look and see if I still have copies of my old code.

This may not be what the OP has in mind, but it would be worth looking at what Multi Crew Experience can do for you, since I believe most of your requests would be covered by the Co-pilot through your voice commands in stock airplanes and many - most - add-ons, and in case you need more than what is offered, you can always customise your own work-flows. To check if this is for you, you can try the free trial version. In addition to your co-pilot, you will also be able to speak to ATC (native or some add-ons) making your flights even more realistic. I have been using it since release many years ago and could not think flying without it!...

finally figured out the way to send voice commands to prepar3d to simulate events. I am pretty close to creating my fully functional ATC and Captain and even fix bugs of my aircrafts in prepar3d. The only thing remaining is the way to receive commands from prepar3d. There is a way to this by using scripts in SPADNEXT that will trigger commands exactly as the way the OP wants. 

For example when the altitude reaches 10,000 ft the script will invoke a key board command, may be CTRL +T , This keyboard command will then invoke a function in voice attack that will have a voice command assigned to it to say Flight level 100.

This can be quite powerful, next thing to look for is documentation on scripting or an example. Anybody?\

ps: my aircraft doesn't support multicrew, hence all this trouble. I want to make it a study level aircraft.

Update: Its possible! just use the script from spadnext to callout commands like, engine fire, 10000 feet or gear up etc. it has endless possibilities . It is extremely powerful and immersive. you can create and perform any scenario. No more opening up the VR and reading checklist, No need to buy any third party multicrew addon. Thank you
