Why do it with AI when you can have a live second pilot.

Already there (and has been for many years) - you can have charming and rather competent Amelia help you handle the Alouette-III. Which is rather useful if you do a rescue operation and want to drive the winch.

In the Shuttle we Eileen for stationkeeping,...

@Thorsten; uh, yes sure, but you have to use your mouse to select one of a few predefined actions, you can't TALK to him ! ;)

you can't TALK to him


Sure you can. And she'll politely ignore you because she's busy flying. :mrgreen:

(A binding is just a binding - if you have any form of voice recognition software, it's trivial to bind recognized commands to something you say. So again, you can do that right now, I just hope you're not suggesting that FG re-invents the wheel and develops voice recognition software).
