AviationLads Announces Cockpit2Ground Voice Expansion for GSX
Quick summary· AI-generated
Cockpit2Ground is a new GSX plugin that replaces ground-crew radio chatter with 180+ dynamic voices (accents, languages, characters) that adapt based on aircraft type, flight plan, weather, and time of day. The add-on covers all ramp operations from gate to pushback and engine start, with two-way flight-deck response lines. Developed by Aviationlads (cinematic trailer creators) in partnership with LAND3 Simulations, it launches Sept. 8 on Contrail for roughly $17 USD and officially supports MSFS 2024 (MSFS 2020 unsupported but may work).
Excerpt from Threshold
Aviationlads, a well-known content creator of cinematic flight-simulation trailers, has announced their first product, “Cockpit2Ground,” today, coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
The add-on, developed in partnership with the creators of vRAAS, LAND3 Simulations, is designed for ground-crew communications and is a plugin for FSDreamTeam’s GSX.
It is scheduled for release on Sept. 8, next week.
According to Aviationlads, Cockpit2Ground replaces and expands GSX’s spoken ground-crew communication with a more dynamic voice system.
More than 180 voices are included, such as regional accents, languages and different ground-crew characters.
The add-on covers all operations from an aircraft’s time at the gate through pushback, engine start, and de-icing. It includes additional flight deck response lines that speak on your behalf to facilitate two-way conversations.
Cockpit2Ground also adapts what is said depending on the situation.
According to Aviationlads, the system can recognise and respond to the aircraft type, flight plan, weather, and time of day, allowing conversations to vary from flight to flight rather than relying on a fixed set of recordings.
Cockpit2Ground includes logic to determine when and how the different voice recordings are played, the developers say.
As mentioned, the project is being developed with LAND3 Simulations, which is also behind the vRAAS runway-awareness utility.
FSDreamTeam GSX is also required for the add-on to function.
Cockpit2Ground is officially supported on MSFS 2024 for PC; MSFS 2020 may also work, though it does not have active support.
Cockpit2Ground will release exclusively on Contrail on Sept. 8, priced at roughly $17 USD (€14.99) before taxes.
