No spoken traffic alerts 13.3.53

[MiserBird]

Flying this morning with close by traffic, I get the text notifications, audio dings and emergency sirens, but no voice readout? Sound levels up on my tablet. The audio alert setting confirms that I should be hearing traffic position, any suggestions of where to look to get the audio activated?

I've had a similar issue - I heard the alerts once or twice when the application updated - I have not heard them since. I think there is a bug somewhere - it certainly isn't volume as I do hear the altitude alert of "500 ft."

Audio Voice Callouts is a version 14 feature -- soon to be released to production. So when you heard these, I'm guessing you were probably running a 14.0.x Beta version, before switching back to the v13.3.x production.

This is huge news, at least to me. I had iFly back in 2020 but switched to Foreflight. I’m ready to come back to iFly and intend to purchase the X7. Regarding audio voice traffic callouts, I always felt that it’s a huge safety issue not having them. When I’m in extreme close proximity to traffic, my eyes need to be immediately outside, not looking at screen to determine where to look. I always felt that that’s where FF had a huge advantage over iFly.

I'm glad to here your coming back to iFly!
