It's Your Plane FS9, FS2004 and FSX Features Speech Recognition

Whenever you are flying a jetliner, private jet or commercial turboprop, the IYP system will turn on Cabin Music; music that is played to the passengers to entertain them during pre-flight, taxiing for takeoff, taxiing to the gate after landing and until they depart the aircraft. The IYP application automatically knows when to turn this music on and off during the various stages of the flight; however, the Cabin Music can be turned ON/OFF in-flight by saying...

"Cabin music on"

and/or

“Cabin music off”

respectively. This Cabin Music is played at a relatively low-level. After all, the Cockpit Crew cannot really hear it that well with the cockpit door closed.

NOTE: The playback volume of the music and sound effects can be set on the Control Panel.
NOTE: Blind and/or Visually Impaired users can say, "Sound effects volume up" and/or "Sound effects volume down", to adjust these levels through the use of voice commands.
NOTE: The “elevator-like” cabin music was composed, arranged and played by Robert Cezar. The IYP music was taken from Volume One of his Pacific Feelings collection. Robert elected to use his own music so as to avoid any royalty payments and/or copyright infringements.

The IYP application makes a series of Crew Announcements:

Welcomes the passengers on board
Safety Announcements during pushback and taxiing before takeoff
Announcements after reaching 13,000 feet
In-flight Seat Belt Warnings based upon real weather conditions
Preparation for Landing Announcement during descent
Taxiing to the Gate/Ramp Announcements, etc.

These annoucements are made as part of the interactive checklist procedures for the IYP supported aircraft. However, if you are flying using your own checklists, of flying an aircraft that is not fully supprted by the IYP application, you can invoke some of these announcements through the use of the following voice commands:
"Perform passenger boarding announcement" (example)
"Perform cross-check announcement"
"Perform passenger safety announcement"
"Perform prepare for landing announcement"
"Perform landing and taxi effects"
"Perform parking announcement"

The IYP application performs realistic aircraft-to-ground communications during the pushback stage. As the Captain of the flight, you can specify the pushback distance and the direction; tail left, tail right or straight back.

Flying those long flights can get boring after a while. You can install your own MP3 files that you can listen to during these times. Under the Sound folder beneath the ROOT folder of your simulator, you will see a folder entitled:

[FS9 or FSX]\Sound\MyMusic Place your own MP3 music files in this folder.

To switch this music service on and off during flight, simply say,

“My music on"

"My music off"

respectively.

You can adjust the nominal sound level for you MP3 palyback on the IYP Control Panel.

NOTE: The playback volume of this MP3 music automatically gets attenuated whenever ATC communications exist, or you issue a voice command.
NOTE: Blind and/or Visually Impaired users can say, "Music volume up" and/or "Music volume down", to adjust these levels via voice commands.

GA Type Aircraft:
If you’re flying a General Aviation (GA) type aircraft, then your trusty Co-Pilot (Mike/Michelle) will be explaining what he/she can see from his/her side of the aircraft and what you will be able to see to your left throughout the flight. These announcements only happen once the GA type aircraft has climbed above 3,000 feet. The announcements repeat every 20 minutes (or so) on a regular basis. Of course, you can always say,

“Make a Flight Following Announcement”

at any time. If you are the Captain of a jetliner, then you can ask the First Officer to...

"Make a Flight Following Announcement"

Please keep in mind that these announcements will only be made if there's something to announce! For example, attempting to invoke an announcement while flying over the dessert will yield.... nothing!

Jetliners and Commercial Props:
If you’re flying a commercial aircraft with passengers, then your Co-Pilot will announce to the passengers during boarding,

"If you tune to channel 7 on your headset, I will be pointing out places of interest throughout our flight."

Then, once the aircraft climbs above FL200 (20,000 feet), he/she will make announcements to the passengers along the way… even giving them the Temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees.

If you wish to deactivate this feature, then you can simply say,

"Deactivate Flight Following Announcements"

and...

"Activate Flight Following Announcements"

to turn it back on. The Flight Following Announcements are made randomly, but on average about every 20 to 25 minutes. you can always invoke an announcement by saying,

“Make a Flight Following Announcement."

Please keep in mind that these announcements will only be made if there’s something to announce! For example, attempting to invoke an announcement while flying over the Pacific Ocean will yield “silence."... lol.
