Hi there,

first I want to apologize for that bad grammar -it's a long time ago since I learnt English at school (and I didn't want to use a translator from my language German to English), and I have to apologize if that question or the answer is already to find in the forum.

I am a newbie using CC in ACC, and it's a great tool, although it is not completely supportet by ACC, and sometimes presents wrong values.

Today I have tried to "speak" to the CrewChief. I start the conversation with the word "Chief" (in the properties). If I know the terms for the questions, it runs very well and makes a lot of fun during a race or training session. Now I have triedto start wrtiting into the chat using the word "chat" (in the properties). But nothing happens, no beep, no words in the chat. Is there any mistake how I do that? Or in't it possible to talk sth. and that words are written into the chat.

e.g. I'd like to say "sorry" or "pass left" during a race and that words should be written into the chatwindow.

Any hint :confused:

Thx for your help - and always have a clean race.

I was also just looking into this.
I'm struggling to get CrewChief to actually parse anything I say into the game chat.
I am unsure if I need macro to be enabled or not for this to work - I will be attempting to figure out macro next to see if that helps in game chat features.

I would love if someone already has the proper answer to get free dictation chat messages to work in CrewChief.

Find the macro with the name "start chat message" and add the key for starting chat in AC/ACC
Then find the macro names "end chat macro" and add the key to send chat command in AC/ACC usually this will be the enter key.
Then it should work like in the other games, I cant test this as I don't have any of the games installed anymore.

Can you tell me where to find such macros? In the properties or options / settings of the game ACC? Maybe I don't find them because I am using the German version and don't know the translation of the English terms.

In the CrewChief app maybe.

I have configured these macro commands and both of them work, however (at least for me) anything I say in between them are just normal commands, not typed in chat.
Chat will open, chat will close, all with with voice commands now, but whenever I try to use my 'Free dictation' voice command it either assumes I'm saying something else entirely or doesn't respond.
Free dictation voice command is set to "chat", which I know CrewChief understands, but it seems to choose not to understand for this particular command.
I open and close in game chat with "say" and "enter" respectively.
