Voice packs???? What good are they?

[gbapache]

I got up today feeling extra special grumpy and read some posts about voice packs for individual airlines and the "welcome aboard"
speech. I know that I'm The Jerk but I don't understand what this has to do with flying. They could be in Mandarin and I wouldn't care. I
welcome comment to convince me the error of my thoughts..........GO.

The point of a flight simulator is to simulate reality, and the voice messages add to the illusion. They're part of the experience.

I only listen to the voices in my head....they do simulate reality But, when I start drinking, those voices speak Mandarin...then I'm
completely lost.

OK, I've got a question then. Would it be possible to create some recordings of my family when I take them flying in my cessna 150 and convert
them to voice packs for use in small GA planes? All I'm getting right now is the "ooh" when I hit a pocket of slightly rough air.

@ N10669. Back ground noise might be a issue. but its worth a try

I guess my question would be if it bothers you so much why are you on a forum about Passenger/Airline simulation? We want individual
customized announcements to go with our Passenger/Airline simulation experience.

Can't wait to see gbapache's reaction

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As if listening to Agatha the sky waitress comment on how pretty the clouds are while I'm on short final
with a partial panel into Tegucigalpa in the middle of a class five hurricane adds "REALISM" to my flight experience. Shut the hell up and
get in the back where she belongs. CHEESE AND CRAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I've said it once I've said it a thousand bazzillion
times, it's a flight simulator, not a stewardess simulator. Get your head out of your ass and get your prioties in order.
I need a beer now.

It sounds to me like you're the only one who has his head up his ass, because every time you say something, all that comes out is BS.

FS PASSENGERS IS A STEWARDESS SIMULATOR. Yes, I did that in caps for a reason.

And lets talk about realism...what moronic pilot would ever try to land a plane in the middle of a class five hurricane? DUH!!

Seriously, if all these guys/gals here, who want to have the simulation of stewer..... um Flight Attendants, (which is one of the main features of this
and actually the only software that this website is based upon.) causes you so much pain and anguish, then you must be a masochist (that means
gratified by pain, degradation, deprivation, etc., inflicted on oneself either by one's own actions or the actions of others.) and I wonder why you torture
yourself? You obviously hate what the add-on has to offer, so why come here? As far as I can tell, you don't offer anything to anyone who has a
legitimate question about the virtual co-pilot or FA feature other than a belittling comment about how you are a better pilot because you don't need that crap for your "Flying".

And I, must be an idiot to try and convince you why voice packs are good.

They're good for me. That's why.

Take your ball and bat and go play somewhere else, because on this field called FSPASSENGERS, we like to play with the flight attendants.

Well I don't care about the voicepacks etc.
To get more realism I fly online with VATsim,....with "real" ATC and other pilots around the world.
That in combination with FsP is great.
So I'm busy enough with ATC other aircraft etc,....then to listen to somebody who's telling me that there are so many buttons in the cockpit

But is just how I bump the realism.

Every time I fly a new airline in real life I record parts of the flight and get all the announcements.
I now have quite a few full voice packs as a result, and it makes FS more realistic for me because it's the exact same announcements I heard.
I have for example: Flybe, Spanair, Volotea etc.
