Hi,
No, it doesn't work, AFAIK. It's actually even simpler now.
1. Download and install the GVP decompiler. Place into it's own folder. Make sure it's version 1.1.
Download GVP Decompiler 1.1:
mormegil.wz.cz/flying/gvpdeco/gvpdeco_en.htm2. Run the decompiler. Select the USEnglishBig.gvp file found in the main FS Sound folder (or copy it into the GVP Decompiler folder for safety).
3. Create a name for the new XML project - use Classic.XML.
4. Create a name for the new Phrases TXT file - use ClassicPhrases.txt.
5. Let it run - it takes a while.
6. Create an Output folder inside the GVP decompiler folder.
7. Edit the Classic.xml file to look like:
<Voicepacks>
<USClassicBig OutputPath="\Output">
<Voices>
<PilotA PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotA" Name="Pilot 3 (male)"/>
<PilotB PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotB" Name="Pilot 4 (male)"/>
<PilotD PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotD" Name="Pilot 6 (male)"/>
<PilotE PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotE" Name="Pilot 7 (male)"/>
<PilotF PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotF" Name="Pilot 8 (male)"/>
<PilotG PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotG" Name="Pilot 9 (male)"/>
<PilotH PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotH" Name="Pilot 0 (male)"/>
<PilotI PhrasesFile="\ClassicPhrases.txt" WAVDir="\PilotI" Name="Pilot 1 (male)"/>
</Voices>
</USClassicBig>
</Voicepacks>
8. Use VPEdit.exe from the ATC Voicepack SDK to create the new voicepack. Press the New button, select Classic.xml, and USClassicBig from the drop down box. The new GVP file will be found in your new Output folder.
Download ATC Voicepack SDK:
download.microsoft.com/download/9/4/3/943f9e01-f457-4300-91cf-a1762839f64a/fs2004_sdk_fsedit_setup.exe9. Rename the original USEnglishBig.gvp file in the FS/Sound folder to USEnglishBig.gvp.bak, and copy the new USClassicBig.gvp to the same folder.
10. Start FS and select a Pilot's voice from Options/Settings/ATC.
That's it!
If you use EditVoicePack, use the following procedure to keep things normal:
If you want to import or export callsigns, etc. or do a web update (turn off automatic updates):
1. Rename USEnglishBig.gvp.bak in the FS/Sound folder to USEnglishBig.gvp
2. Rename USClassicBig.gvp in the FS/Sound folder to USClassicBig.gvp.bak
3. Start EVP and do whatever you want. Save it. Update the voicepack and the airlines.cfg file.
4. Quit EVP.
5. Rename the files in Steps 1 and 2 back to their original names.
6. Restart EVP.
7. Update the voicepack.
MAKE SURE to back up the EditVoicepackData.xml file regularly, because if you do not follow the above procedure you will lose all the female voices in EVP. If you do, restore a recent back up.
Hope this helps,
