This release was only sent to beta testers, who identified a number of critical bugs. I recommend using v3.0.3 or later.
Features
- You can adjust the voice- pick a different voice, change the speed, and change the volume
- More aircraft are well supported.
- Additional aircraft profiles can be added by making your own JSON file for the aircraft. Check out the Resources/plugins/planecommand/data/profiles folder for some examples. <a href="https://planecommand.com/profiles">How to make a new profile</a>
- Lots of new commands. Control more of the aircraft systems (like thrust reversers), and more autopilot modes (like VVI hold). (A page listing commands will be added later)
- Better radio tuning. Stuff like the new 8.33khz resolution tuning for COM1 and COM2. You can say "guard" instead of 121.50 MHz, etc.
- Copilot will protect you from some dangerous situations. For example, thrust reversers can only be deployed while on the ground. Engines can't be shut off midair. Landing gear can't be raised on the ground. Flaps can't be extended past the max extension speed.
- The recognized command and response are printed on screen.
- More clear debugging / troubleshooting functionality. E.g., the headset icon changes if no mic is plugged in.
Known issues
- Bug: altitude selection is broken in many aicraft
- Bug: When flying some Carenado aircraft, setting the nav course / heading causes a crash.
