CTLD Voice Attack Integration

This directory contains a complete Voice Attack profile for hands-free navigation of the Moose CTLD (Combat Troop and Logistics Deployment) menu system in DCS World.

Files in This Package

File	Purpose
CTLD_VoiceAttack_Profile.xml	Voice Attack profile (import this)
CTLD_VoiceAttack_Guide.md	Complete user guide with all commands
CTLD_VoiceAttack_QuickRef.md	Quick reference card (print for cockpit)
CTLD_Menu_Structure.md	Full F10 menu tree diagram
Moose_CTLD.lua	Source CTLD system (menu structure defined here)

Quick Start

1. Install

1. Open Voice Attack
2. Import CTLD_VoiceAttack_Profile.xml
3. Activate the profile

2. F10 Key Binding (Already Configured!)

DCS Default Behavior:

• On ground: \ (backslash) opens F10 menu
• In air: RAlt + \ required (backslash alone disabled)

Voice Attack Profile:

• Uses RAlt + \ for all commands
• Works both on ground and in air
• No DCS configuration needed!

3. Test

In DCS, say: "show status"

• Should open: F10 → CTLD → Admin/Help → Show CTLD Status

Most Useful Commands

"load troops"           → Load passengers
"deploy hold"           → Unload defensive
"build here"            → Build crates
"drop all crates"       → Drop cargo
"vectors to pickup"     → Find supply zone
"vectors to crate"      → Find crate
"smoke nearest zone"    → Mark zone
"show status"           → System info

Command Categories

• Troop Operations: Load, deploy (defensive/offensive)
• Build Operations: Build here, refresh list
• MEDEVAC: List requests, vectors, MASH locations, salvage points
• Logistics: Drop crates, re-mark crate, check inventory
• Navigation: Vectors to zones/crates/MASH, smoke zones
• Field Tools: Create drop zone, smoke colors
• Status: Show status, draw zones, statistics

See CTLD_VoiceAttack_Guide.md for complete command list.

How It Works

Direct Navigation

All commands use direct navigation - one voice command executes the entire menu path:

Say: "load troops"
Sends: RAlt + \ + F2 + F1 + F1
Result: Operations → Troop Transport → Load Troops

No step-by-step navigation, no waiting between keys.

No TTS Feedback

Commands execute silently - DCS provides on-screen feedback.

All Non-Admin Functions Included

Profile includes:

• ✓ All operational commands
• ✓ All status/info commands
• ✓ Navigation and smoke
• ✓ MEDEVAC operations
• ✗ Specific crate requests (too many types - use manual F10)
• ✗ Debug/admin functions (intentionally excluded)

Voice Attack Tips

Improve Recognition

1. Train profile with your voice (Tools → Train Profile)
2. Speak clearly at normal volume
3. Use alternate phrases if not recognized
4. Reduce background noise

Best Practices

• ✓ Use during stable flight
• ✓ Keep hands free for controls
• ✓ Combine with manual F10 for crate requests
• ✗ Don't use during combat maneuvers
• ✗ Don't use during emergency procedures

Limitations

Not Included

1. Crate Requests: Too many types (dozens of vehicles, SAMs, etc.)

   • Use manual F10: CTLD → Logistics → Request Crate

2. Typed Troop Loading: Submenu with 4+ troop types

   • Use manual F10: CTLD → Operations → Troop Transport → Load Troops (Type)

3. Advanced Build Menu: Dynamic list of buildable items

   • Use manual F10: CTLD → Operations → Build → Build (Advanced)

4. Debug Commands: Admin logging controls

   • Not needed for normal operations

Why These Are Excluded

• Crate requests: Mission-specific, too many variations
• Typed troops: Rare use case, 4+ submenu items
• Advanced build: Dynamic content, better with manual selection
• Debug: Admin-only, not for regular flight ops

Use voice commands for quick actions, manual F10 for detailed selections.

Compatibility

• CTLD Version: 0.1.0-alpha (Moose_CTLD_Pure)
• Voice Attack: 1.8+ (tested on 1.10)
• DCS World: Current stable/open beta
• Menu Type: Per-player (MENU_GROUP)

Customization

Add New Commands

1. Open profile in Voice Attack
2. Study menu structure: CTLD_Menu_Structure.md
3. Create command with key sequence
4. Test in DCS

Update for Menu Changes

1. Check Moose_CTLD.lua function BuildGroupMenus() (~line 2616)
2. Update key sequences in Voice Attack
3. Update documentation files
4. Test all modified commands

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Command not recognized	Train profile, try alternate phrase
Wrong menu opens	Verify DCS default binding (RAlt + ), check Controls settings
Menu doesn't navigate	DCS must be active window, F10 not already open
MEDEVAC missing	System not enabled in mission
Works on ground but not in air	Expected! Profile uses RAlt + \ (works in air)

Examples

Troop Transport Mission

1. Say: "vectors to pickup"      → Find supply zone
2. Fly to zone
3. Say: "load troops"             → Board passengers
4. Fly to LZ
5. Say: "deploy hold"             → Unload defensive

Crate Logistics Mission

1. Say: "vectors to pickup"       → Find supply zone
2. Manual F10 to request crates   → (Too many types for voice)
3. Say: "vectors to crate"        → Find spawned crate
4. Pick up and fly to target
5. Say: "build here"              → Deploy at destination

MEDEVAC Mission

1. Say: "list medevac"            → Check active requests
2. Say: "vectors to medevac"      → Find nearest crew
3. Land nearby (auto-load)
4. Say: "vectors to mash"         → Find hospital
5. Land at MASH (auto-unload)
6. Say: "salvage points"          → Check rewards

Reconnaissance

1. Say: "smoke all zones"         → Mark nearby zones
2. Say: "draw zones on map"       → See all zones on F10
3. Manual F10 map navigation
4. Say: "clear map drawings"      → Clean up
