I always start the simulation sitting on the taxiway near the end of the runway. So it is like I have just finished doing my magneto checks in the run up area. Seems more realistic that way. Also prevents me from popping up on the runway when someone else is about to take off or land in multi-user mode. I know I really hate it when someone else pops up on the runway when I am on approach. So I don't do that to anyone else. snip > > aplay: playback:2021: read error > > FATAL ERROR : cannot find > > file /usr/share/festival/voices/english/en1_mbrola/en1/en1 ! > > Cannot open file /tmp/est_30080_00005.au as tokenstream > > Wave load: can't open file "/tmp/est_30080_00005.au" > > Cannot load wavefile: /tmp/est_30080_00005.au > > I think you may be missing part of the en1_mbrola speech package.

If I do the installed voices query in festival (as listed in the FG manual) it says I have en1_mbrola, us1_mbrola, us2_mbrola and us3_mbrola. All of these work except en1_mbrola. After changing voice_en1_mbrola to voice_us2_mbrola in preference.xml this is now working. So it appears that en1_mbrola did not install correctly for some reason. The us voice is better for me anyway. > > Assuming you can see the text for the other aircraft etc. the likely > reason that you cannot hear them is that you don't have a full set of > voices installed.
