Radio Comms not all broken

Voice activation would probably be a immersion killer for me, feels like it fits better in a sci-fi game.

Best not to use it then.

In WW2 they didn't press a series of keys to tell their flight to change formation or break, they said the command out loud over the radio...
Voice activation for wingman commands is more realistic, not less.

i think it adds a lot immersion, when used for radio commands.much more realistic than using keystrokes.but i wouldnt use it to control the aircraft or changing view.

Lol, how do you think they did it in real life?

Thanks, Pudfark.

I still have 28 days left of the free evaluation period, but I'm definitely laying out the $18 for this.

Theres a free prog called shoot that is quite good, it is old and hasn't been updated for some time.....been on version 1.6.4 for years but it does work on my win 7 64 bit machine, very simple to use....and free.....did I mention that?

i also found shoot in the net, and downloaded it....unfortunately i cannot tell how good it works, as im not able to make a profile whatsoever.i found a profile for il2 and downloaded it.tried it and sometimes it recognizes the correct orders, and sometimes not...dont know if one can train the program to understand one better.
its also frustrating that there is no readme how to use it, or how to make a profile.

but today i downloaded VAC and after some annoying installing problems were solved...i was able to download again a il2 profile.this is a profile with approximately 200 commands, also commanding aircraft controls and so on.im really not interested to control my aircraft with my voice but to give orders to my swarm.
well i have to say, altough im no english native speaker, the downloaded profile worked perfect.it really understood every command first try and quick.even commands like "green flight attack flak" is recognized very precisely and without problems.the program does not get confused and offers a different command like "blue flight attack flak".it really uses the right command every time.
so i tried to make my own profile with german commands.after some minor problems to get the functions to work, it works perfectly.
if you program a function, vac understands every command and writes it down without mistakes.it works just perfect.

so if i dont find a alternative which is free to use and as effective as VAC i will definitely buy this piece of software, once my trial time passed and cliffs of dover has actually functional commands and ai!
certainly worth the 18$


Edit:though it would be really cool, if the devs would include this ability directly into the game....

You know Windows 7 has built in Voice Reconition software
