Hands-Free MSFS Flying – Be Part of SimVoice Copilot Alpha

We are excited to announce the alpha testing phase of SimVoice Copilot, a voice-controlled assistant designed to enhance your Microsoft Flight Simulator experience. Specially for those VR users but suitable for all.

What is SimVoice Copilot?

SimVoice Copilot is an innovative and simple tool that allows you to control various aspects of your flight simulator using voice commands, providing a more immersive and hands-free experience. This include almost all Simconnect events available and querying most common SimVar information. You just define what do you want to say and map it to either an event or simvar. For instance, map “Gear Down” phrase to the correspondent event and the app will execute the command then replying with a PC voice confirming the execution. Or you can say “Check Speed” and the app will talk back with the indicated air speed at the time.

Who can participate?

  • Users of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024
  • VR users and/or those who want to ease cockpit workload
  • Enthusiasts willing to provide detailed feedback

Why participate?

  • Gain early and free access to this handy tool.
  • Influence the development of SimVoice Copilot with your insights
  • Collaborate with a community of flight simulation enthusiasts

Voice recognition has advanced a lot in the years, and the app recognition rate is very, very high. There is no need of training anything, just install, configure some commands, or use the provided ones, start any flight and speak your desired command… Good pronunciation isn’t required too.

I looked through the sim variables and didn’t see one that you could use to toggle VR mode. I have used voice attack in the past and that one was easy since you just had it do the key bindings.

Sadly, there’s no such variable or command in MSFS SDK to enable or disable VR mode through SimConnect. I’m working now on trying to send keyboard inputs through the app but no luck so far.

Thanks for the reply. I’m sure there’s an easy way since a couple other programs already do send keyboard inputs but there are also drawbacks to that method. I find that often keyboard combos that are bound to commands can trigger the initial key binding. If you have a command bound to let’s say Shift-C you can also trigger something bound to just the Shift key. This method of directly invoking the variables is by far the best method. Really it should be on Asobo to ensure that there are variables for all the things that can be bound to keys and buttons. It would be far easier programming on their end of things.

Hi,

This sounds very very interesting! I have registered my interest.

Well, I’ve managed to convert the voice command “vr mode toggle” into the Ctrl+TAB keyboard combination.

Off, couse if this default key combo to enable VR is changed on MSFS it will not work :neutral_face:

A new release 1.0.4.0 has been uploaded and you can get it using the originally provided download link.

Please check it out and let me know how it works.

Regards
Gonzalo
