Red Griffin ATC: Difference between revisions

The Festival Speech Synthesis System running in server mode allows up to ten simultaneous connections, therefore it can provide up to ten different voices. Red Griffin ATC takes advantage of this feature and can provide a fuller and deeper experience by using those ten different voices and by assigning them to each specific radio. The available voices are assigned at random from the whole pool of voices available and properly configured through FlightGear COMM properties. This will give the sensation of speaking to different operators during the whole flight session. Red Griffin ATC associates a specific voice to any specific radio frequency and the association is kept for the whole duration of the flight. This means you are going to hear the very same voice in case you are tuning back to a radio frequency already used in the current flight session. Please note pilot voice is associated to a specific voice and exclusively used for that purpose. This means the pilot voice will never be used for radio operators.

The property <code><desc></code> can optionally describe the defined voice and, in particular, the voice to be used for the pilot. In this specific case, <code><desc></code> property must be assigned to "Pilot", like the sample shown above. In case no voice is assigned to the pilot, Red Griffin ATC will use the value found in <code>/sim/sound/voices/pilot</code>.
