The Voice Buddy Interactive Trainer (VBIT)
is your virtual in-game instructor. Each Voice Buddy game edition
contains VBIT conversations that are specific to each game. When
you issue the appropriate VBIT voice commands, Voice Buddy talks
you through the desired game action. Each VBIT voice command
begins with "Teach me..."
Such as "Teach me an Immelmann." You then hear Voice Buddy
interactively walk you through flying an Immelmann.
I
was completely mesmerized by this new feature. When flying FS2004
aerobatics in an Extra 300, I commanded Voice Buddy 2 to, "Teach
me a Lomcevak." And it walked me thought this very difficult
advanced aerobatic maneuver saying"
"The Lumcevak end-over-end tumble is the ultimate hot dog
maneuver. It is best performed from a climbing snap. Start from
level flight at top speed. Dive to get a little extra speed if
required. Pull up to a 45 degree climb. Smoothly roll left to a 90
degree knife edge bank. Yaw 70 degrees off of the normal flight
path. Push the yoke or stick fully forward. Your airplane should
tumble end over end. Release the controls to recover to the
inverted 45 degree nose low position."
