Spoken ATC

[Qantasinfiniteflight]

Like real pilots, of course there may be a problem as not all IF pilots speak English or are not very good at it maybe there could be a test, or a different server where all ATC instructions are spoken. Tell me what you think

12 year old voice “dildo incoming for landing clear the runway emergency!!!”

I don’t know if it really is a good idea.

I think I’ve seen this asked 3 times already. Try to search for what you were going to write. It means a lot more to see a feature requests with 10 likes rather than 10 feature requests with no likes.

Anyway, the outcome has already been discussed.

This is an area we want to improve but as @AviationJunkie mentioned, there would be moderation costs. This is something we can’t ignore since we have a lot of kids playing Infinite Flight and there are strict laws in many countries. If you want to know more about this read this article about a multiplayer game (LEGO Universe) that had to shut because moderation cost were too huge. Granted that we don’t have a trademark this big to protect, we also have a fraction of their budget

Giving a simple In Game text chat options for advanced player that maintain good standing is an option, but we still need to have an easy way for ppl to report abuse and moderate.Voice chat would be nice but it very tricky: bandwidth, lag, quality and simply the vast diversity of voice tone and accent that can make communications harder would be a problem. TTS in mobile devices is starting to get really good, I feel we just need to improve our system a bit, have different voices for each pilot on a same frequency, and improve the UX for sending message and we could get something that is far better than what we have today.

Wel maybe there could be some sort of punishment if other users or ATC see hear that

It should only be the air traffic controllers that get to speak, but they’ll have to follow the correct procedure. What I mean is if the controller says,for example, “N123AB cleared to taxi” the pilot wouldn’t be able to reply because he needs the right information.
