| Hi, love the package so far and really love voice pack, its so handy...but if I had a wish for you next update to it it would be for me to ask the freq of a vor or ndb etc its really annoying when you fly in a strange place and have no maps, the only thing you can do is to stop and look at map, or get a addon that you still have to click on to get the freq you want. would be great if you could just say whats the freq for xxxx and you got a voice back with the info allowing you to continue flying. don't know how hard it would be to do it, but i dont know of any software that will do this on the market. all the best Mhazy

Hi MHazy:
Thanks for your kind words about FSFS for P3D and for your comments! 
This is a nice feature and indeed we have been looking at something like this whereby the pilot can call off the phonetic alphabet's description of a VOR, NDB or even an ICAO code for an airport and get information about it. With a little extra work, the instructor could even figure out what you mean by "One Six Left" and give the ILS for that runway, so long as he/she also take the time to make clear which airport they are referring to!
Some folks would say this enters the world of the instructor acting a little like a copilot, and indeed this is true. Some of the features already in the Voice Pack are already within this domain.
And I know what you mean about maps. If you have one to hand, printed, and up there with you in the 'cockpit', then it's very much as it would be in the real world. I imagine the purist would say "Just make sure you have your maps with you!" 
But in reality, this is a hobby, and we could all use a little help, especially as we may just want to get in a little flying "before dinner" or "before bedtime"! 
So... thanks for your comments. We are looking at this and will of course let everyone know of any progress made here and in our e-mailers.
