Virtual checklist

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm just coming to grips with using voice in MSFS.

I've implemented the example checklist you have in your documentation (as follows:). I can successfully request it by voice, but it's not pausing at the lines with [] as expected. Any thought as to why?

Cheers,Cam.

How exactly are you doing that? Checklist looks OK to me, must be something about the way you are starting it?

Yes there were spaces, which I've now removed. Thanks for spotting that.

Separately, I've now somehow lost all the voices - the PTT button seems to work, and the phrase turns up in L:AaoVoiceRecPhrase, and any commands I give (eg flaps full) get carried out as expected, however any scripts that output voice don't output voice anymore.

This includes if I go through menu option -> scripting -> run scripts.

any thoughts of most likely culprits?

I am experiencing a similar issue where the voice suddenly stops but commands in the checklist get executed. Interestingly my checklist for A2A Comanche work without any issues and only the checklist for BKSQ GrandDuke is suffering from voice dropouts. Also, the voice stops at random places which makes debugging the code extremely difficult.

I start the checklist from a button assigned in my MIDI controller (KORG nanoKONTROL2). This button is configured to execute "(CHECKLIST:CheckList-BKSQ-GrandDuke\BKSQ-GrandDuke_checklist_control.txt)". This script in turn calls other scripts in the same fashion.

@C414AC Did you manage to get into the bottom of this?

That sounds more like a symptom of a different cause. Meaning, finding the actual culprit will be very very difficult, because it may not be related to the actual SPEAK at all.

I would suggest replacing SPEAK with SPEAKBLK in the Macros.

Also consider sending the checklist and you proof of purchase to the support address by email (address is on the last page of the AAO manual). Then we can take a look at it too.

I am an early adoptee of using SPEAKBLK 🙂
Will send the checklist soon. Thanks for offering to look at it.
