EditVoicepack

EditVoicepack offers a simple interface to edit the file containing the ATC communication used in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight. It is possible to change the phraseology as well as add airline callsigns, airports, and aircraft types. EditVoicepack already contains thousands of ready made entries; and is able to download new entries from a central server. It also allows you to accelerate the existing voices for a more realistic experience and better handling of traffic dense environments.

Keeping EditVoicepack updated

If you do not disable the automatic update notifications, EditVoicepack will contact this server each time it is started to check if it is up to date. If there is a new version of the program, it will inform you. It will also download new modifications uploaded by other users. The update can also be started manually from the about box if you prefer not having EditVoicepack contact the server each time it's started. Please notice that updates are no longer being distributed to EditVoicepack 2.2.

Download Offline Update Files

In case your Flight Simulator computer is not connected to the Internet, the Download Offline Update Files page still allows you easy access to all the benefits of EditVoicepack's update system.

Modification Request Tracking

The Modification Request Tracking page allows you to see voicepack modifications uploaded to the server. All uploaded modifications will be reviewed before they are either accepted or rejected. Accepted modification will automatically be available for download though the online or offline updates.

Supporting EditVoicepack

You can help adding new modifications to EditVoicepack - for example by including the airfields around the areas you frequent in Flight Simulator. The more people adding modifications, the better EditVoicepack will be for all of us.

EditVoicepack (the software as well as the updates) is completely free, even though it is taking me several hours a week to maintain. If you think EditVoicepack is worth paying for, you can always donate some money on my paypal account so I can cover some of my cost from buying FS addons.
