I'm blown away! VAC was simply perfect. I spent about 30 minutes with Microsoft Speech Recognition training then printed out Dastardley's profile so I would have a reference to his exact phrases (was too lazy at that point to edit). I started up The Last Days campaign in IL2 FB flying the P51 and found perfect conformance to my commands so I decided to ratchet up the parameters. I flew into the middle of a box of B17s turned the speakers up and started giving commands (OK this is where VAC will fall down I thought-wrong!). Once again perfect conformance to the spoke commands. I am a convert! My 19 year old son,
who is a Star Wars Galaxies fanatic was watching this and he too was blown away. He wants to use VAC for his final push to become Jedi.
Regarding SWAT4, I'm gonna be brutally honest when I say your software has almost taken the challenge right out of it. Not that it's any less fun, but you've made it possible for me to execute complex room takedowns with such speed and economy of movement it's almost like taking a lolly from my 3-year old.
Yea, I bought it for PF and now use it for almost anything, From pacific Fighters and America's Army and Call of Duty, to uses such as launching programs, sending faxes and emails and placing phone calls.
and its so simple to use.
Its a real work of functional art.
First of all, many thanks to Shift_E for this awesome program.
I was playing Leningrad 42 campaign as an Oberst in a FW. That was the third or so mission that I flew with VAC activated.
In short, we (8 of us) spotted perhaps 10-12 enemy fighters and 9 enemy bombers coming from the south. We had altitude advantage so as I roll my plane 180 degrees and start to dive I issued commands to my flights:
- I told my wingman to cover me.
He said: "This is two, I'll cover you"
- I told my second schwarm to attack bombers.
They said: "This is three, attacking bombers"
"This is four, attacking bombers"
- I told the second flight to attack fighters.
They replied: "Roger attacking fighters"
As I dived, I tracked the bandits below.
"up", I said, and the view went upward.
"magnify", the screen zoomed in.
"lock bandit", and "second flight attack my target". And the second flight swooped down on my poor enemy (who seems didn't even realize that there were two FW's above him when he made an attempt to evade me).
Seconds later "This is five, he's going down" and I saw him in flame and falling down rapidly. There was no parachute in sight.
But then I heard my no.2 yelled:
"This is two, get him off me!"
I scanned the sky simply by saying commands up, down, left & right. Then I saw a P40, guns blazing chasing my no.2. So I turned toward him, and said "throttle full", "plus", and "plus" again. To get my BMW radial to its 110% power. As I getting closer, I saw my wingman managed to make evasive action although the enemy was able to score several hits on him.
So I said "flap down" to lower my combat flaps and gain a bit more maneuverability. I opened fire from 200 - 300 meters and watched eagerly as my cannon shells making their hits on his wing. There were several small explosions on his wing roots that finally ripped it off.
"Number one, nice shot!" my wingman congratulate me. Of course he should, I've just saved his ass :-)
Soon after that we managed to shoot own most of the attackers. A few that survived went back to their base with smoking engine and/or cannon holes on their planes.
"Everyone, return to base" I told my flight to return. And they replied accordingly.
Phew...
So, many thanks again to Shift_E for this truly amazing software. You're rock m8 :-)
...Hmm...Now, what was the the command for "Ground crew, shine my shoes"?...
