No
Which aircraft are you using that experiences this issue?
All
Brief description of the issue:
New ATC language includes “Good bye”, whereas the actual word in English is “Goodbye”. The ATC text-to-speech voices “Good bye” in a more aggressive tone than the single word would be.

Yes. I’ve always thought the current pronunciation was pretty dismissive sounding, or in the OP’s words, aggressive. It’s kind of like when someone says “Good day” and stomps off, rather than “G’day” (said in an Australian accent!).
I know it’s just preference, but the current version just sounds wrong to me…

Mentioned this in another thread. An occasional “thanks, see ya, thank you, have a good one”, would be a nice little change that shouldn’t be too labor intensive I’d guess.
Agreed, the current “Good … Bye” is not natural - not just the gap, but somehow the tone seems off. A normal “Goodbye” would be ok. The previous Good Day seemed pretty natural too.
So if the good ATC practice is to use “Good Day” and if OP is agree, title should be updated to “Good Day” instead of “Goodbye”, as well as description of the issue. And also the feedback that has already been sent to the Devs if not too late.
There is also appears to be a difference in the speech inflection between “Good day” and “good day”, with “good day” sounding a lot less dismissive, than the original “Good day” what sounds more like “GOOD day”
This has always been the case (with the Azure TTS engine"
I don’t think its any great secret – there are MODS to improve the ATC phraseology, based on the Country the ATC is being used in.
ie USA or European.
ie. On FlightSim.to
If you want to make you own custom edits …
WARNING: Make a backup first, and only attempt to edit this file if you are comfortable editing a text file.
Edit at your own risk etc etc etc
If you fly VFR in the UK it’s often “Bye bye” or even just “Bye”. As in, “Thanks for the transition, bye”. And a double-click from the other end.
To be exact, you can CHANGE what it says to something else, whatever ever you want following the current embedded codes, but you cannot get it to say “whatever you want”,
ie say “Good day” or “Good Night” or “Have a nice [day-of-week]” according to the time of day or the day of the week
And some of these embedded codes, do not return the correct “text”, and I do not see a way for the user to change that or re-code them ?
