I really like the ATC clearance features you’ve added.  
 

One petty thing to bring up - why did you use the phrases “ready for departure” and “cleared for departure” when it should have been “take off”?
 

Also it would be nice to add landing clearances and taxi to gate as well.

I'm not sure what the official ICAO phrase for that is, but departure does the trick.

Landing clearance:  You don't normally ask for it... it's usually just given to you.

Cheers,

It’s definitely takeoff.  Even non-ICAO USA.  A departure is an entire procedure (SID, visual departure etc), take off is the act of leaving the runway for the air.   Two completely different things.  
 

As for landing clearances, this might vary, in my part of the world you contact tower (just callsign) and they will acknowledge with either “cleared to land” or “continue approach” depending on what else is happening.  Same for ground when vacating the runway, you don’t ask for taxi clearance, they just give it to you on first contact.

Update is running fine so far

There is a small bug with 1.2 (that didn't happen with 1.1 or 1.0).  

If you have the Qantas callsign selected, using the UK voice, the voice is UK but when the word Qantas is spoken it reverts to the US voice (just for that word, then returns to UK). 

If you have the EU voice, it uses the UK voice.  The US voice works fine.

I tried the American callsign and this didn't happen.  I didn't try other callsigns.

Edit: I think the bug occurs when you change the language after you start preflight.

I just tried it using the UK voice set... button control... I had the FO request taxi clearance.

"Qantas" was spoken with the same UK accent.

Nothing changed in this area from V1.1 to V1.2.

See if you can reproduce it.

 

I have worked out the problem - still a bug but even smaller than originally thought.  

If you change the voice after preflight has started, the callsign will use the first voice and will not change dynamically - where as the rest of the content changes straight away.

Obviously the answer is probably "don't change the voice during a flight" - but if you want perfection - either all of the voice should change or none of it should.  I'm not particularly bothered by it now I understand the cause.

Looking at the code, it actually sets the voice accent for the airline call sign when the ATC callsign is selected.

So, yes, if you change the voice selection after the fact, you'll run into this problem.

I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: Fixed for V1.3.  Very easy fix 🙂

Cheers,
