Ok, I fired up VA last night and gave it a thorough test. Here is my thoughts and opinions.
Glad to see Sidewinder Radio got a listing. Might want to look at LAVE Radio as well for the next release.
I like the fact you removed the initialization, but in doing so, some things don't seem to be set such as landing gear states. The reset commands are good. Thanks for that.
I also noticed that you simplified the logic on things that are in an opposite state.
ie: "Gear Down" "The landing gear is already deployed"
In the previous version, you had it ask if I wanted it raised. This no longer appears to be there. Same for other items such as lights, scoop, etc. My preference is to have the logic in there. I understand that it makes it easier, but again, these are just my preferences.
Speed controls: No Matter which VA Profile I have tried, for some reason none of them can recognize when I say Three Quarter. I need to figure out why. I will probably disable all of the speed related commands. Last night I almost toasted myself scooping when I sneezed
Other than that, works as advertised.
Music commands: THIS is worth price of admission alone. Volume controls make it even better. I just need to change the playlists you have setup for some of the stations to match my preferred stations for the Genre's but Kudos for the work you have done here. Even if you broke the music out and just marketed it under a Music player for Elite, it would be a hit.
If you are tracking the current station via logic, maybe you can have the radio come back to the last station if I stop the music and then restart it later in the same session.
Map Controls: You have Open controls, no close command. It takes me out if I repeat the command, as it should since it's a toggle, but one of the Voice confirmations is "Opening the map" or such, which takes me out of the immersion if I am closing it. Might want to do a separate one for closing of the maps.
All the standard controls work quite well, and any issues is either due to my Mic setup/Training/Poor Enunciation.
Your "Superior Officers" voice work is great, and your lucky to have the help, and we are lucky to have her voice work to add to the experience. Please thank her from all of us.
I really am enjoying the immersion this is giving me, and I am slowly disabling the in Game computer voice for features that Kics is giving me feedback for. My only request would be more conversational responses when I say things. I can see Kics telling me that I am not making a profit whenever I swear because I have to put 100 Credits in the Swear Jar .
Note: The Engine Velocity Half.mp3 has an abrupt cut at the end of it.
Thanks for All the work you BOTH have put into this. If things keep progressing like this, then I can see this becoming my Main VA profile. I also use Anubis and switch between them depending on my mood. Anubis's Voice is different and quite cool in it's own right, but it all depends on my mood.
