Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) - Beta test

[baxterbj]

No Luck here, have the paid FSUIPC7, have followed your installation to the letter, but I get nothing.

Am in the Process of purchasing RAAS from FS2Crew.

Thanks anyway.

Kind Regards

I'm having the exact same problem.  No matter what I do I can't get Lua RAAS to load in FSUIPC7.  It initially didn't load, so I added it manually and I still cannot find it so I can assign a button.  I double and triple checked my installation per the instructions.  Don't know what else to do.  Any ideas?

EDIT:  Don't know if this matters, but what does show up in FSUIPC7 is "LUAKLLALL"

Thanks, Rodger

If Lua RAAS is not available in the FS command list of FSUIPC, most likely the RAAS.lua file is not in FSUIPC directory.

I've tried it as the only entry and along with other entries

[AUTO]

1=Lua RAAS 1

Is your script called 'RAAS 1.lua'? It is probably the space in the filename that is the issue. Try renaming to 'RAAS.lua' and use that name. Alternatively, you can try putting the script name in quotes (although I am not 100% sure that will work...). Best to avoid spaces in lua file names.

John, the last '1' char is a parameter passed to the script (SAPI voice Id). Do you mean it's not supported in this manner?

Actually the parameter can be ommited - it will take '1' by default.

Yes. Spaces are valid in lua file names, so that will try to start a lua called 'RAAS 1.lua'. To pass a parameter, I think you need a comma to separate the lua file name from the parameter, so try
 

[AUTO]
1=Lua RAAS,1

Or if that is the default, as you say, just omit it.

Thanks John, I added it in the FAQ @flightsim.to

[Twenty6]

[Auto]

1=Lua RAAS

 

This works in the fsuipc.ini. I load FSUIPC thru the "exe.xml" file and got the RAAS initialization "OK" message once I turned the batteries on.

I just realized I had an older version of FSUIPC7.  However when I updated it to the current version, I now don't have an assignments tab.  I have the paid version, and I understood that my registration number would automatically carry over.  The assignment tab is the only one missing.  Any suggestions to fix this?  Thanks

As it's a problem with FSUIPC7, I suggest you ask on their support forum here:

Made the change to 1=Lua RAAS and now auto works as expected.  🙂 

[roland_lfor]

And I confirm also that we can pass the voice Id parameter in auto start if needed, using the comma separator:

1=Lua RAAS,3

How does we find the number of SAPI voices we have installed, and preview them? I've grown accustomed to Samantha in the Garmin GPSs and wouldn't mind bringing her along on some flights.

seek and ye shall find

[roland_lfor]

You can see the voices installed in your system from /Settings/Accessibility/Narrator and Narrator's voices/Voices on right panel (W11).

They are not sorted by Id unfortunately.

If you own Pilot2ATC, in config/Voices Tab, it seems that usable TTS voices are sorted by increasing ID's.

Hi Roland,

if you use the your included program wsay, you can find out your usable TTS voices.
Type 'wsay -l', than you get a list with ID and voice.

Best Regards

Is it possible to use the Amazon voices that I use in Pilot2ATC?

 

Edit:

I used the wsay -l command that @seppran informed about. It works perfect.
