Career Mode - Co-pilot gender appearance does not match gender voice

Glithander · December 15, 2024, 5:54am

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

On flights where a co-pilot is present, the co-pilot avatar gender does not always match the co-pilot voice or name - ie: The co-pilot appears to be female, but uses a male voice with the name ‘Doug’.

This happens consistently on the C208 and the PC-12 (the two aircraft I fly in Career that use Co-Pilots).

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Yes, and Yes.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

It is feels like a random draw, and I’ve had virtual every combination so far. It seems rare to get a situation where the Avatar gender matches the Voice and Name.

I believe this may be by design - as appearance and voice are decoupled for character creation, they may also be for the co-pilots

Does this persist if you pick one of the pre-made ones in your character settings? For me they have matching voices when selected

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

In Career Mode, during Cargo - Medium missions in the Cessna 208B Caravan, the first officer always uses an AI voice that belongs to the opposite gender. If the first officer character is male they have a female voice, if the character is female they use a male voice. Either the voices or the character models have been swapped.

This applies to all Cargo - Medium missions in the Cessna Caravan. I haven’t been able to test whether this applies to other aircraft of the same mission type, or other mission types as well, but I would assume it’s a general issue.
