It is very difficult to make a computer talk like a normal human with as little errors as possible due to the complexities of the English language [i.e.: dictations, silent letters, vowels, pronounciations, hyphenated names, etc.]. So, I doubt FSX would hit the mark on correctness, but I believe it would be able to step in the right direction.

Yea, some of the voices are different too.  My pilot says somethings really funny.

I would have pronounced it smear-na too, so I guess it isn't that bad after all

Are the names generated dynamically you think?  I always thought they were prerecorded for each place where the name is used instead of the code.

It's what I thought too....

Airshow_lover, why numbers 10 to 36? I've always heard the runway number spelled in two parts : 1-1 for 11 or 3-6 for 36 and so on ???.

And you forgot 47 by the way, for boeing 7-47 . And certainly 37 too.... boeing 7-37 . When I think about it... maybe they just record 1 to 9 + 0 and 20 to 90, ten by ten. Shorter than 1 to 99 :p. And the same for hundreds and thousands . It must be that.... recorded and then associated to generate numbers...

What do you think about it?

*smoke rises from the top of FF's skull as his hard-working neurons are burning because of the lack of cooler lol *

every name of every airport, runway, taxiway, etc... was recorded. and then by 11 different people (the FS SDK offers 2 more)

i've been meesing with the FS SDK creating my own pilots voice. there are over 30,000 things to say. i may have done mabye 200.

it's all in dictation. i read the ATC article, here's an example:

Flight 123, you are clear to albuquerque, fly heading 270.

now when you say 'to albuquerque', your saying "to walbuquerque." thats why you hear those "glitches" in dictation. it's because we slur our speech.

what I would really like to have is different accents of the ATC...like for example when you fly over uzbekisatan you can hardly understand what hes trying to say!
