Testing same... so far I like it... one verbal command to change icons, or map, or radio, etc   works great so far.. anybody else using it?

 Does it work with Roger Wilco now? I always thought that program could allow player-pilots some extra functionality for when you end up running out of buttons to program on the stick/throttle. Just never felt "right" talking to the PC to control funciotns on an aircraft in a WWII sim.

I like GC a lot.  I don't use it for AH because I figured it would interpret RW speech as commands.  I like to use it for games where you are using buttons to give verbal commands - like Go-Codes in Rogue Spear or wingman commands in Longbow 2.0.  It's pretty cool to tell your computer to do something and have it talk back.

Yep, it does work with Roger Wilco now, as long as you don't have it in "autodetect" mode. You have to have a RW transmit key, so that your system can tell the difference between RW chatter and GC commands.

Actually, I've never used GC for flight games...always had everything I wanted on stick and throttle...

 I have it. But dont use it. It works fine 98% of the time. The other 2%.... well you can bet you wont be in the hanger when it wont take the command.

 Make sure to warn you relatives before you start talking to yourself in a loud voice. They may think the stress of the game finally got to you and invite a couple of friendly guys with a straightjacket.

I posted a brief review for my squad mates here if anyone's interested. Its quite a good program, how it will fair against the competition from Microsoft's voice comms/voice command all-in-one system is anyone's guess. One word of warning that I pointed out in the link above..be careful what commands you use as coughs and sneezes can be interpreted as commands so mapping a key to turn on engine's is not advisable incase you cough or curse into the mic during combat and turn your engines off by accident
