Just purchased PF3. Used the demo but it wouldn't let you do the communications. Installed PF3 and followed the install instruction. Set pilots voice to none.

Tested mic and it works great.

When I try and communicate using PTT (spacebar for me) I never get a response.

When using VoxAtc voice works great.

Manual has no instructions for testing voice setup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What settings have got setup on your PC?....you could try and have it set to English (UK) see if that helps.

I know Tower 2011 you have to have it set to United States for voice to work on Windows 10?....what OS is your machine?

You will need to configure your VR to talk to PF3?...have you done that!

Please run through what exactly you have done from scratch so anyone who has similar can help you to get up and running with your VR software.

I had the demo of PF3 and VoxAtc installed.
Voice worked without me doing anything on the computer except setup the mic. (using windows 10)
I bought PF3 and uninstalled the demo and installed the whole program
I uninstalled VoxATC
Once PF3 was installed (c:\fs Addons|PF3) I followed the manual for setup.
I selected None for pilots voice.
Set VCP mode to 0
Set PTT hot key to the spacebar
I ran the speech recognition test under Vox and then again tonight.

That's it. I didn't load a special program for speech. Since it worked under Vox without setting anything I assumed, wrongly, it would work with PF3.

I started windows speech recognition once while FSX and PF3 were running but it didn't do anything.

Thanks

PF3 does not have a built in voice recognition. You need a separate voice recognition software. You can use any configurable VR software as Voice Attack or DWVAC which you have to setup for yourself to work with the PF3 hotkeys.

If you want a solution that works out of the box get Multi Crew Experience. It already includes a full voice integration with PF3. In addition to a capable First Officer usable in any aircraft and also able to communicate with PF3-ATC on his own.

Thanks,

wish I had understood that before purchase of I would have bought VoxAtc.

Does it work with Windows 10 VR?

Thanks for your help, saved me from continually talking to my screen. Think my wife is calling the guys in white jackets.

I would say you made a better choice going for PF3 than voxatc. For one, PF3 "is supported!" It's more up to date, more accurate, more realistic, and highly flexible to the user's needs. Find yourself a decent voice add-on and you'll start to enjoy the immersion. I don't have MCE but those that do are very keen about it especially as it is tailored to link with PF3.

I don't have Win10 but it does not work with the Win7 voice recognition. Simply because Windows does not know the PF3 hotkeys and there is no option to define phrases and keys in Windows' own VR.
You need a configurable VR software for that.

If you are into voice recognition I highly recommend to take a deeper look at Multi Crew Experience. You can control literally everything in your sim via voice if you discover all that MCE offers. ATC, First Officer commands and other addons like GSX.
