First off, thank you to HiFlier for letting us know about using Voice Attack, and thanks to "The DX Gamer" for showing us how it is done, and sharing his VA profile.
I have been playing with this quite some today. Personally I am not interested in the co-pilot, automatic voice commands, I want it more for the ATC, at least till IPACS incorporates ATC.
I based what I have been working with off his VA profile, removing the stuff I did not want. I re-recorded all the ATC responses to Cessna 51911, which is the number of the 172 in Aerofly. (Kind of wish it had a letter in there)
Anyway, I have added some commands and responses. Sometimes I stumble when I speak, as I am sure we all do. So I have created commands that are basically the same thing, but might make the difference of it being recognized or not. Example: "Tower, Cessna 51911, request take off clearance." and "Tower, Cessna 51911, requesting clearance for takeoff." will both work, as well as a couple of other variants.
I have added a few more responses from ATC such as "hold short, await departing aircraft", or "inbound traffic at your 3 o'clock. Hold position 2 miles south of runway."
Right now it all works pretty darn well.
I am not up to speed on my ATC speak and responses. Any suggestions on proper requests, responses that can be entered?
I am more than happy to share the profile and sound files once I get everything sorted.
