1CGS Jason_Williams 28874 Posted February 12 1CGS Share Posted February 12 No DD this week, but I will say the team is working on some cool stuff. Just fly and enjoy this current sale and this weekend!! Lots to enjoy, it's not always about new stuff. But I want everyone to go check out Combat Box's thread (ignore the personal crap in there) about their experimental voice activated SRS bot GCI and encourage them on. Sounds pretty cool. Kudos to them for innovating. Try a creative community all around. Jason 14 10 9 Link to post Share on other sites

I've just realised that Flying Circus is absolutely amazing, and really encourage everyone to try it out. It's a bargain right now! For those without it, you can fly as a gunner on a multiplayer server even without the game.@J5_Baeumer, @J99_Sizzlorrand co run an excellent server: Jasta 5 Flying Circus Flugpark Server - Multiplayer Servers - IL-2 Sturmovik Forum. I really wasn't that interested before, but after trying it out, I'm captivated. So much so I've pre-ordered FC2! Edited February 12 by Barnacles 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds pretty cool. Kudos to them for innovating. Try a creative community all around. Jason Thanks Jason! (Sorry about the personal crap, we try to be low drama, but oh well....) The bot is coming along. So far you can do these kinds of things: "Radio check", "Comms check" (etc) "Tower, request call sign." "Tower, flight of three, type 109, request call sign." "Kenway, this is Uncle-3 in grid 1015, request mission." "Longbow, this is Tomahawk-2 in grid 2411, need vector home." I'm currently working on making the "request mission" smarter. At the moment it knows if you're a bomber or a fighter and directs you accordingly (bombers are requested to attack the nearest objective, fighters are asked to defend objectives that have been hit recently or protect friendlies that are attacking an enemy target). But I'd like to add assigned patrol routes as well as pilots communicating their own intent, such as "This is Voodoo-lead, bombers en route to Weert Defences, ETA 4 minutes, request cover" We are also training the bot daily to get better at speech recognition. If pilots would like, they can use the attached utility to record voice samples and then submit them to our Discord. We use Mozilla DeepSpeech machine learning, and it gets better when we feed it more data and voices. cb-radio-trainer-0.5.zip 7 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that its good, but for a full price? The map of Vol1 is small, no single player content, only thanks to the community a campaign was added in patches. I cannot justify such price for so little content. So I hope Vol2 will have much more content than the previous game had. Link to post Share on other sites

Просто летайте и наслаждайтесь этой распродажей и этими выходными !! Много удовольствия, дело не всегда в новинках. Но я хочу, чтобы все посмотрели ветку Combat Box (не обращайте внимания на личную чушь) об их экспериментальном голосовом активе SRS-бота GCI и поддержали их. Звучит довольно круто. Престижность им за инновации. Попробуйте творческое сообщество повсюду. Джейсон We, on the Il-2 Expert server, also started emulating radio communication with the earth via SRS.But, now it's more of a one-way message from the ground to the pilot. We would like to develop voice recognition to receive requests from pilots. For example, a request for any airfield "bearing", "range". To do this, the pilot's coordinates are not enough in the log files. Please make the output in the log file A Type: 17 (Coordinates of the aircraft). 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

So I hope Vol2 will have much more content than the previous game had. It will, as confirmed by Jason's announcement of FC2 and probably FC3. I am sure it will shine once it has enough content, as his big brother, Rise of flight. Remember it was done to test the waters. WW2 and WW1 crowd are different animals (and WW2 crowd aside has really interesting... individuals 🤣) Tank Crew is on the same simuation, somehow. I really enjoy it, but having lots of content or another expansion will benefit the overall experience. I hope we can have it one day. Now, we have to wait for Normandy and I am eager to fly what the team has prepared 👍 Edited February 13 by LF_Gallahad Link to post Share on other sites

For those that prefer the 1C career mode it can be viewed as a stop gap until the 1C career is done. For myself I am just delighted that FC2 is happening. I really feared that sales of FC1 did not merit continuation. Very happy to see that WWI is a viable market. Edited February 13 by PatrickAWlson 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
