I was also thinking that would be nice and as they are computer generated I am sure it would be more than possible. But at this point I would be happy if it just swapped between 2 different voices every time I changed frequency.
Not sure what’s going on at your end, but I do get different voices from ATC. Occasionally it’s the same after a frequency change, but more often than not they’re different.
What ATC voice setting do you have?
Download different english language packs (e. g. Irish, Australian, British, Indian etc.) in Windows language settings
Have fun
I also tried to download additional TTS-packs with additional voices from external sources but I think these don’t really work for Windows TTS (even though it’s advertised they should).
This way, you can have, like, ten different voices. Of course this only works for english voices but as english is usually the ATC language anyway (at least vor IFR) I’m persoally totally okay with it.
I think multiple voices should come first, and then we can start thinking about accents. I think within a (accent) region you still need multiple voices.
I’m on offline TTS. I’m not sure if there are multiple voices or not honestly. At the very least I remember thinking FS2004 / FSX had more ATC / Pilot voices than MSFS.
I’m about to fire up MSFS, I’ll pay attention to it.
It would actually help more if, Asobo used real people to record all the responses instead of a computer to simulate them. Mis-pronunciation of any abbreviated word or one commonly used with accent, i.e., don’t = don ta; or Fort Worth Center= F T worth center. I have bugged this in Zendesk. And, it bugs me this, but the voices change every time I change centers, sometimes my avatar voice is used, and they try to muddle it some so it’s not exactly the same. They could have gotten 1000 volunteers and gotten them to record ATC commands, and would hardly every hear the same voice in a flight. Just ask the sim community to do the recording, specify which thing they want recorded, then email in the sound files. Simple to fix.
sorry for off topic, is it possible to listen music with com1 and com2 i just don’t use atc, but if com will work as radio fm it’s would be good, very good i’d say
I think they need to adjust the logic in two different places.
once a user has selected a pilot voice, that voice should be flagged so it can not be used as an ATC voice. I think this is logical and should be simple to do.
the suggestion on this thread: ensure that the same voice is not used between different controllers.
Also quite simple to do.
by the way, could you automatically remove the cursor from the screen if it has not moved for 10 seconds. The menu bar is removed promptly but the cursor stays on the screen.
I hope that all three are simple changes.
