Does anybody know HOW to activate stuff in Codemasters' F1 2016??

[Tzeff_NL]

I would like to say "pits" or "pit this lap" and have Voice Attack open up the radio comms to my racing engineer and press the keys I want. But the game only allows me to open the voice com and voice attack won't press ANY other key after that. I've tried using numerical and alphabetical keys and added short 0.05 to long 1.5 second pauses and presses but nothing works.
The weird thing is, if I press the keys manually, they work in the game. (ofcourse)

I'm out of ideas. Anybody got Voice Attack working completely in F1 2016?

Note: increasing differential or braking bias by voice is also a no-go in this game.

At least Voice Attack can activate the push-to-talk key for me! (that's a HUGE relief!) I have a feeling F1 2016 allows VA to activate only ONE key per voice command...

Hi,

I had the same issue and was trying to figure out a solution.
Just today it seems to work (still testing, though). I tried many different approaches, and the least elegant one seems to work - just add another KeyPress Event with a key which is not used by the game.

In the example below the mfa is set to 1, and I want to switch to 4 - works ('0' switched to the next mfa setting, 'L' has no function ):

Begin Integer Compare : [mfa] Equals 1
    Press 0 key and hold for 0,2 seconds and release
    Pause 0,2 seconds
    Press L key and hold for 0,2 seconds and release
    Pause 0,2 seconds
    Press 0 key and hold for 0,2 seconds and release
    Pause 0,2 seconds
    Press L key and hold for 0,2 seconds and release
    Pause 0,2 seconds
    Press 0 key and hold for 0,2 seconds and release
    Pause 0,2 seconds
End Condition

Best,

It's been so long ago that I've even forgotten I've posted this question!

Thanks 4 answering, but I've already found the answer...using the default in-game commands.
NOTE; that F1 2016 actually recognizes your comands! (the commands marked in green!) So, for all commands u can use them to talk...without using voice attack! (finally voice recognition in games!)

Anyway, I'll show you a few examples of how I've edited voice attack coommands, because I can't remember ALL the voice commands in the game...! (who does??) Especially if some commands sound the same, so I made some of my own such as: fuel status, fuel update, weather report, weather update and so on

Here's the example of one such command, which I had trouble with:
Box This Lap -  Press V key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press RIGHT key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release

Car Status - Press V key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Press Right key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release (yep, no pause here!)
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press DOWN key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Pause 0,3 seconds
    Press RIGHT key and hold for 0,05 seconds and release
    Press D key and hold for 1 second and release

After testing them extensively..I can confirm the voice commands now work in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Hi Tzeff_NL,

I stumbled across your question just recently, therefore the late response. Thanks for your post, btw.

Actually, I am aware that there are 19 different voice command built into the game itself, however VoiceAttack is "pressing" 'T' for me when I want to trigger one of these.

However, as I am very (!) busy driving and trying to not get off track, I am using VoiceAttack to open/close the MFA and especially to constantly switch between the three fuel options. So when I say "switch to standard", the MFA will switch to slot one, check the fuel status and switch to standard in case it is not yet set to standard. That works regardless of where the MFA is currently set at the point in time I speak the command, which is huge.

For me this is very helpful as I can better concentrate on the track instead of messing around with the many buttons on my racing wheel while driving.

However, there is still one thing I struggle with, maybe you have found a way to fix that. From time to time the MFA opens up without being triggered by me (something wrong with the car, accident etc). That of course messes up my internal system as it spoils the integer values. In such case I simply close the MFA and 'reset', which means putting the MFA integer to zero again. Any idea to find a better solution?

to get voice recognition to work in F1 2016 you must install "MSKinectLangPack_enUS.msi" and "x64_SpeechPlatformRuntime.msi"...google them!
