I will say, this would be a big help for the manual. Would make jumping to the section you need quick and easy.

Thanks, I did figure all that out. The old AAO thread in the MSFS forum had some solutions that when I knew to search for KOHLSMAN made sure I had the correct altimeter settings every time.

I've looked in there and the only altimeter is something with failure flags which I assume isn't what I'm looking for. Is it called something besides Altimeter? Edit: I see it's probably the Kohlsman settings. I've tried those, but wasn't getting any readings. I guess I'll have to try better. 🙂 I use this a lot, it's a great feature and you can even watch your own created Lvars too. Works great. Thanks! I'll look into how I can use this for some of the ideas I've had.

I can see how this tool would be useful tho. For me, using dev mode is a pain in the butt, as I don't run MSFS in the same resolution as my monitor, so I have to go and change MSFS, then go back to dev mode, etc etc. Something like this tool would be pretty useful.

I'm having a problem I'm not sure how to deal with. In my checklist, I'm having the co-pilot set the barometer when we pass down through 18,000ft. This should be easy, as I'm just having it use the auto-set in MSFS which I have coded as: [0] 0 (>K:BAROMETRIC) This works, but for some reason it's not working all the time 100%. I'm not sure why. Any idea? Should I put a (WAIT:500) before it? I noticed that I'm going directly from announcing the start of the checklist to the command, maybe that's it? Normally, I would just have the code read the barometer and check that it's changed from 29.92 (or in the rare case it's 29.92 below 18K come up with something to deal with it), but I can't find any LVar were the current altimeter setting is stored. Also: any idea or tips on how to more easily test something like this? I'm not sure how I could setup the plane to start in the air and descend past 18k, and then reset it to test again, etc. Would slewing achieve that? Thanks! Edit: one more. Is there a way to display info I can query from my simbrief flightplan? Some sort of message box or? I'm not sure if I see anything in AAO which would allow that.

Thanks for that info. I'll have to check them out and see how they do.

That's interesting. I never considered them, as last time I did their voices were very robotic. That was years ago tho. Were they using the Windows voices, as I don't remember even those sounding like that.

This is a feature I've seen with all the different AI voice sellers. It's called voice cloning and you can also upload clips of anyone talking and have the AI duplicate. It's also quite expensive, so I'm curious how Asobo/MS will absorb that cost.

Thanks, I think the GOTO loop would work best considering what I want it to do. I got so obsessed with trying to figure out a way to use the [] I didn't consider a simple option like that would make the most sense.

How can I nest a [] for confirmation when using an if statement? My code: (IE:GENERIC_LEAR_STARTER_R) 0 != (IE:GENERIC_LEAR_STARTER_L) 0 != or if{ (@ASSIST:Please Check Generator switches) } I'm checking to make sure I've remembered to turn the starter switches to the generator position. This works, but if I don't have the gen switches set, then it gives me the reminder, but goes immediately to the next item in the checklist. How can I make it wait for my voice confirmation before continuing?

I have to imagine Asobo and MS will at some point come out with AI voices on their own. I mean, Azure is MS and if you've messed with their AI voices, they are pretty good. I'm sure BATC and the rest are using them or Amazon's. It makes sense for MS to want Asobo to use their AI and potentially sell it as well. I also don't understand how they are paying for the AI which is parsing your voice input. I assume that's ChatGPT (are there any competitors?) which isn't just giving their tech away and certainly not to a company selling a product. The real issue is fixing the ATC, which I won't bother arguing with folks about. There's some real fans out there of the various AI ATC addons. But it just makes sense, to me anyways, that Asobo/MS will have their own AI ATC at some point. I know one of their talking points about MSFS 2024 was ATC will be addressed.

I've no idea how they are doing this, because those voices are very much the low tier AI voices provided by either Amazon or MS. And they cost money by the character just like the better ones, but at a reduced price. I really have no idea how BATC is covering it since they are just a one time fee with the better "premium" voices being something you have to purchase character bundles for.

I don't seem to be able to edit this link in the first post, this is the updated file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tb1-fN6LOI9av5BoOP9tx8PRRKtesy4d/view?usp=sharing

It didn't work well for me with glasses. It might be due to light levels or glare, but the eye tracking wasn't what I hoped for when wearing my glasses.

Did you ever try OpenTrack? I'm curious how that works in comparison with the paid stuff like Tobii. Because if you are just using head tracking, it seems to work pretty well. And give you the option to pause the view so you can flip switches and then return to tracking.
