Dammit, every time I sniff, it costs me 30cr!

.... you need a command word to ready VA, I use 'computer' as in I'll say 'computer chaff' or 'computer boost' or 'computer jump' .... get what I mean? :)

I would not bind boost to ANY VA command. Even with the ready command it might recognize something as your boost command Weather it be a sneeze or even the sound of shifting your position. I have had some things happen that I thought would never lol. My dog whined beside me a few weeks ago and boosted me into the side of the station. And my command was "Pamela boost". so I never map things like boost, self destruct, or eject to voice.

"Computer boost"

"Are you sure you want me to boost? You've told me off before for boosting you by mistake. Say 'Yes computer, really boost' to confirm"

"Yes computer, really boost"

"Say 'Really really boost. No kidding this time'"

"Forget it! I'll just press the button."

Lol, should change the name from Voice Attack to Bodily Function Attack.

I am getting some strange looks in the office as I keep bursting out laughing. This has to be the funniest thread ever.

There's a price to pay for laziness...Voice attack is a gimmick; we can fire via our flight sticks faster than "voice attack".

If I sneeze, it has no impact on my flight operations.

Actually, it isn't. Its ideal for less used commands, leaving your buttons free for those you use a lot. Also when only using one hand to fly (because a throttle that isn't set to full doesn't count!)
 
"Deploy landing gear"

"DEPLOY LANDING GEAR!"

"DE PLOY LAND ING GEEEAAAR!!!"

Misses: "Why are you shouting at the computer?"

Elite: You have been destroyed.

Me: "I'll press the faffing L key next time"

This reminds me of a telephone conversation I had with BT yesterday. "Please say what your problem is"...."I want to query an item on my Bill"...."you wish to pay your Bill", "NO, I wish to query an item on my bill"...."you wish to pay your bill"...NO..I DONT..I WANT TO QUERY MY BILL"...."you wish to pay your bill"...."YOUR VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM IS TOTAL CRAP"....."putting you through....."
 
I'm usually on teamspeak talking dutch with my friends while playing, but I use english VA as I have my entire system setup to UK english :p

Oh boy, you have no idea what VA recognizes when talking dutch :p Very fun except sometimes it can really make you break out in a cold sweat... :p (I literally had my weapons retracted during battle!).
 
Had the same problem, changed it to 'launch chaff'. If you still have issues after doing this you should probably see a doctor.

My Voice Attack was sulking last night. I was asking it to do stuff and it was just ignoring me.
 
Awesome thread :D

This is part of the reason I refuse to talk to my onboard computer. She gets a keystroke now and then, that's all she'll have.
