Checklists
« on: October 31, 2024, 02:56:19 AM »
Hi, I would like to create a check list for my flight simulator. I would like to press a key and then hear VA give a command eg check flaps. I would then like to press the SAME key and hear VA give another command and so on, always using the same key. I have been able to compile the check list using text to speech and all of the commands and using pause, but it keeps saying one command after the other.

I want like it to say one command, stop and then say the next command after pressing the same key. If this is possible, any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
John

The "Wait For Key Press" action makes this extremely simple. Have you looked into it?

"Other >", "Advanced", "Get User Input", "Wait for Key Press"

Thanks Pfeil. Am still struggling with the order but it is getting late here in Aussie. Will work on it later and post here if I have any more questions if that is OK. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "the order", but if the issue is that you're triggering the command with the same key as well (using the "When I press keys" option), the simplest solution to that would be the "Do not execute this command if it is already running" option that can be found by clicking the "Advanced" button.

Many thanks Pfiel, yes that seems to be the problem I have attached my profile if you would kindly look at it. It has 2 commands so far, check enroute weather and check trim. What I am trying to achieve is to hit the key press (shift f), hear VA say check enroute weather and then say check trim ONLY after I again press shift f again. At present the script says the two commands one after each other. Many thanks for any assistance.

You seem to have a fundamental lack of understanding of command triggering and execution.

Just import the attached profile and look at how it's configured.

Many thanks. It's been a long while since I used VA and I am a bit rusty. Appreciate your help.
