* Fixed master pilot volume
* One, On, Auto, Off and Six recordings to sound more natural.
* Fixed delay issue when the user pushed the PTT button.

==== Changed ====

* Updated center fuel tank management to use a configurable percentage of tank capacity instead of fixed fuel-weight cutoffs

* Added a new Monitor Only aircraft profile option for users who want FSFO to track Career Mode or Company Mode flights without using aircraft-specific copilot automation.
* Monitor Only mode now supports normal flight tracking, flight-segment progression, company/career reporting, and portal upload behavior while suppressing copilot flows, callouts, and automation.
* Added more Career Mode diagnostics and reporting improvements to help identify why a Career Mode flight did or did not complete correctly.
* Improved the Career Mode upload and reporting process, including updates to the career dashboard, post-flight report, career services, and performance window.
* Expanded the Operations experience with updates to the Operations window, Operations page, and related performance-page integration.
* Added additional Pilot Portal startup, activation, login, messaging, and session-handling support.
* Added more active-flight sync support for SimBrief, flight-plan, and portal-related workflows.
* Continued improvements to the speech trainer and speech setup experience.
* Added a new `Remove Assigned Aircraft` action for awarded company contracts so users can recover from reposition-required dead ends without resetting the company.
* Added clearer Company Mode flight-closeout diagnostics so portal completion failures are easier to identify in logs and post-flight reporting.

==== Fixed ====

* Fixed an issue where passengers could still show near 100% hunger and thirst after cabin service.
* Fixed an issue where FSFO could rebuild the passenger state from changing or live flight-plan data after the flight had already started.
* Fixed an issue where harmless SimBrief or live flight-plan formatting changes could create a new passenger state during the same flight.
* Fixed an issue where passenger-condition logs could alternate between different dashboard/passenger states, making the same flight appear to have both good and bad passenger-service results.
* Fixed an issue where some completed Career Mode flights could appear to miss scheduled-leg completion because the flight ended as Sandbox instead of entering the Career Mode completion path.
* Fixed an issue where the Fenix A320 heading command was not setting correctly.
* Updated the PMDG 777 aircraft profile and related SOP page behavior.
* Fixed an issue where some valid Company Mode flights could upload successfully but still fail contract completion because aircraft verification between FSFO and the portal did not match correctly.
* Fixed an issue where Monitor Only company/career flights could miss the normal shutdown-complete path, causing end-of-flight completion behavior to be inconsistent.
* Fixed an issue where pushback could fail to establish reverse movement after parking-brake release, allowing the aircraft to roll forward instead.
* Fixed an issue where an aircraft could remain stuck assigned to a failed or blocked reposition contract with no clean way to release it.
* Fixed an issue where duplicate or numbered pilot names could appear in the AI Crew Market.
* Fixed an issue where the AI Crew Market layout could hide important controls on smaller monitors.
* Fixed Copilot failure to start GE Engines for the PMDG 777

==== Changed ====

* Passenger-service tracking now uses the shared career passenger state once the flight has started.
* Passenger flight-signature logic was improved so small live flight-plan formatting changes do not reset passenger tracking.
* Passenger boarding and condition diagnostics were reduced so future logs are cleaner and easier to understand.
* Updated flight-plan and SOP page behavior.

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Chooses the accent or regional voice style FSFO should prefer when supported by the selected voice engine.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Speech Eng
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the speech engine FSFO will use. Microsoft Speech is usually the most accurate. VOSK is useful for offline or alternate-device support. SAPI mode is used when you want to choose installed SAPI voices directly.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Mic Input
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the microphone or input device FSFO should listen to when the chosen speech engine supports direct device selection. Microsoft Speech generally uses the Windows default microphone, while VOSK can use the device selected here.

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls the spacing or pacing used during readbacks, especially where letters, numbers, and short phrase groups need slightly clearer separation.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Headset Tone
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Applies headset or intercom-style coloration to voice playback so the audio sounds more like cockpit comms and less like plain desktop speech.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Comms Texture
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Adds extra radio character such as light hiss or comms-style texture. This is mainly a realism preference.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Open Mic

== Cabin Crew Announcements ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section documents the dedicated Cabin Crew Announcements page. It controls passenger announcements, interphone replies, crew voice mode, automatic trigger timing, and OpenAI-based AI cabin crew features.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #2563eb; background:#eff6ff; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#172554;">
'''Important:''' FSFO controls '''when''' an announcement or reply is used. Your selected crew mode controls '''how it sounds'''. Static uses WAV files, TTS uses a Windows SAPI voice, and AI uses your OpenAI API key plus the AI settings on this page.
</div>

=== Page Overview ===

The Cabin Crew Announcements page controls:

* Passenger-facing cabin announcements.
* Cabin replies to flight-deck calls.
* Flight-deck replies back to cabin crew calls.
* Custom announcement content for Static, TTS, and AI users.
* OpenAI setup and AI tuning options for dynamic cabin speech.

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Play pre-recorded WAV files
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses built-in WAV files for built-in announcements and built-in responses. For the custom announcement only, Static mode lets the user browse to a WAV file instead of typing TTS text.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | TTS Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Use your custom messages spoken by a Windows voice
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved TTS text for each announcement or response and plays it with the selected SAPI voice.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | AI Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Generate dynamic announcements with ChatGPT / OpenAI
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved AI prompt, AI style, voice output, creativity, message length, and global prompt settings to generate dynamic spoken announcements and interphone replies.
|}

When you switch crew modes:

* Preview buttons immediately use that mode.
* The Edit panel changes to match that mode.
* The Responses page follows that same mode.
* Flight-deck answers stay consistent with the selected announcement mode, so replies sound like the same system the user chose.

=== Announcement List ===

The main data grid is the Announcement List. It contains the built-in announcement rows plus one optional custom announcement row.

<div style="clear:both; margin:18px 0 20px 0; text-align:center;">
[[File:FSFO_Announcements_AddAndResponses.png|520px|frameless]]
<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The top-right controls switch between Announcements and Responses or open the custom announcement editor.</div>
</div>

The top controls are:

* '''Enable All''' - turns the attendant announcement system on or off without deleting row settings.
* '''Responses''' - switches the data grid from announcement rows to response rows. When active, this button changes to '''Announcements'''.
* '''+ Add Announcement''' - opens the custom announcement editor.

The announcement grid columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Announcement''' - row name.
* '''Trigger''' - current trigger selection.
* '''Delay''' - delay before playback.
* '''Segment''' - the flight segment used for trigger logic.
* '''Conditions''' - operational note or phase reminder.
* '''Status / Actions''' - row checkbox plus Preview, Trigger, and Edit buttons.

The row actions are:

* '''Row checkbox''' - enables or disables that announcement.
* '''Preview''' - plays a preview using the current crew mode.
* '''Trigger''' - opens the trigger editor for that row.
* '''Edit''' - opens the content editor. In Static mode, only the custom announcement switches to a WAV browser; built-in static rows still use their stock WAV files.

=== Trigger Editor ===

The trigger editor is opened with the '''Trigger''' button on an announcement row. It contains:

* '''Trigger Point''' - the automatic event to watch for.
* '''Delay''' - the delay before playback.
* '''Selected Trigger''' - a readback preview of the selected trigger.

If a row is manual-only, the trigger selector is disabled and shows '''Manual Only'''.

The available flight segments are:

* Preflight
* Taxi-Out
* Climb
* Airborne
* Descent
* Approach
* Final
* Rollout
* Taxi-In
* Shutdown
* All

Special trigger notes:

* '''Service Start''' only supports '''Service Started'''.
* '''Cabin Secure for Landing''' supports the full approach trigger set from '''Below 15,000 ft''' through '''Below 5,000 ft''' plus '''Landing Lights On'''.
* '''Arrival Welcome''' supports '''Runway Exit''', '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', and '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH'''.
* '''Doors Disarmed''' supports '''Beacon Off''', '''Taxi Off''', '''Engines Off''', and '''Doors Open'''. The default is '''Engines Off'''.
* If the custom announcement is left on the '''All''' segment, it has no automatic trigger list and behaves as '''Manual Only''' until the segment is changed.

=== Responses ===

The '''Responses''' button switches the grid from passenger announcements to interphone response definitions. These responses are used when:

* The comm panel asks the cabin or the flight deck a question.
* The user presses a related button in the communications panel.
* A supported voice-command workflow triggers an interphone exchange.

In Responses view, the columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Flight Deck Command''' - the call or statement that triggered the response.
* '''Response''' - the response type.
* '''Outcome''' - branch or result such as Approved, Standby, Ready, or Not Ready.
* '''Static WAV''' - the built-in static WAV for Static mode.
* '''Actions''' - Preview and Edit.

Static, TTS, and AI response behavior:

* '''Static Crew''' uses the listed built-in WAV.
* '''TTS Crew''' speaks the configured response text with the cabin TTS voice.
* '''AI Cabin Crew''' generates the reply from the configured AI prompt using the AI settings on this page.

Common cabin response types include:

* Boarding Complete / Still In Progress
* Start Boarding acknowledged
* Ready for Takeoff / Not Ready
* Release Seats acknowledged
* Cabin Service starting
* Turbulence Ahead secured
* Delay Advisory acknowledged
* Turbulence Cleared / Resuming Service
* Prepare for Landing acknowledged
* Prepare for Takeoff acknowledged
* Ready for Landing / Not Ready
* Coffee Request acknowledged
* Cockpit Door Cover acknowledged

Common flight-deck response types include:

* Boarding Request approved or standby
* Boarding Complete acknowledged
* Deboarding Request approved or standby
* Ready for Takeoff Call acknowledged
* Ready for Landing Call acknowledged
* Cabin Service Request approved or standby

Response-specific placeholders:

* '''{status_reason}''' - reason for a not-ready or delayed response.
* '''{response_reason}''' - alternate reason placeholder accepted by the response system.

=== Custom Announcements ===

The '''+ Add Announcement''' button opens the custom announcement editor. The custom row remains hidden until an announcement name is saved.

The custom editor fields are:

* '''Announcement Name''' - required.
* '''Trigger''' - automatic trigger for the selected segment.
* '''Delay''' - playback delay such as 00:10.
* '''Segment''' - determines which automatic triggers are available.
* '''Conditions''' - free-form note shown in the grid.
* '''Save Announcement''' - saves the row and reveals it in the list.
* '''Cancel''' - closes the editor without saving.

Important custom-announcement behavior:

* Only one custom announcement entry is currently supported.
* The selected segment controls whether automatic triggers are available.
* The custom row stores its own name, segment, trigger, delay, conditions, text, AI prompt, enabled state, and optional static WAV path.
* After saving the row, use the pencil icon to edit the actual content.

=== Content Editing By Mode ===

The Edit panel changes based on the crew mode and the item being edited.

In '''TTS Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes a TTS message editor.
* The user edits the exact message that FSFO will speak.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes an AI prompt editor.
* The user edits the prompt that FSFO sends to OpenAI.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''Static Crew''' mode:

* Built-in announcements and built-in responses continue using their stock WAV files.
* The '''custom announcement''' switches to a WAV-path editor with a '''Browse WAV...''' button.
* The preview box shows the selected WAV file path for that custom row.

Common placeholders supported in TTS messages and AI prompts:

* '''{airline}'''
* '''{flight_number}'''
* '''{origin}'''
* '''{destination}'''
* '''{dep_city}'''
* '''{arr_city}'''
* '''{aircraft}'''
* '''{cruise_altitude}'''
* '''{weather}'''
* '''{time}'''
* '''{local_time}'''

</div>

'''Static Crew Settings'''

* '''Output Device''' - where static cabin WAV files are played.
* '''Voice Pack Region''' - which regional static voice pack is used.

'''AI Cabin Crew Settings'''

* '''OpenAI API Key''' - stored API key for FSFO AI cabin speech.
* '''Test Key''' - verifies the key works.
* '''Show Key / Hide Key''' - toggles key visibility.
* '''AI Style''' - tone preset such as Professional Airline, Warm and Friendly, or Premium International.
* '''Voice Output''' - selected AI voice output. OpenAI voice entries are labeled in the dropdown with a sex tag such as <code>OpenAI - alloy (male)</code> to make voice selection easier.
* '''Creativity''' - numeric creativity value from 0 to 1.
* '''Message Length''' - Short, Normal, or Extended.
* '''Global AI Prompt''' - shared instruction applied to all AI-generated cabin content.
* '''Cache generated audio''' - reuses the AI-generated announcement text for the current flight so FSFO does not need to regenerate the same automatic AI announcement every time that event is encountered again during that flight session.
* '''Fallback to Static Crew if AI fails''' - uses static audio if AI generation fails.

'''TTS Crew Settings'''

* '''TTS Voice''' - the Windows SAPI voice used for cabin announcements and responses.
* '''Message Variables''' - visible placeholder reminder chips for editable TTS content.

=== AI Cabin Crew Setup ===

FSFO AI Cabin Crew requires an '''OpenAI API key'''. ChatGPT Plus or Pro is '''not''' required. API usage is billed separately through the OpenAI Platform.

Step 1: Open the OpenAI Platform

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/
</div>

Step 2: Add billing or prepaid credits

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
</div>

For initial testing, a small prepaid amount such as '''$5''' or '''$10''' is usually enough. If you want tighter control while testing, leave auto recharge off.

Step 3: Create an API key

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
</div>

Then:

# Click '''Create new secret key'''.
# Give it a name such as '''FSFO AI Cabin Crew'''.
# Leave the default project unless you intentionally use another one.
# Leave permissions at the default unless OpenAI specifically requires something else.
# Click '''Create secret key'''.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #ef4444; background:#fef2f2; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#7f1d1d;">
'''Important security note:''' OpenAI normally shows the full secret key only once. Copy it immediately and keep it private.
</div>

Step 4: Add the key to FSFO

# Open the Cabin Crew Announcements page.
# Select the '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode card.
# Paste the key into '''OpenAI API Key'''.
# Click '''Test Key'''.

Step 5: Finish configuration

* Choose an '''AI Style'''.
* Choose a '''Voice Output'''.
* Adjust '''Creativity''' and '''Message Length''' if needed.
* Add a '''Global AI Prompt''' if you want all AI announcements to share a consistent tone.
* Edit individual announcement or response prompts as needed.

=== Best Practices ===

* Start with '''Static Crew''' if you want a zero-setup experience.
* Move to '''TTS Crew''' if you want full message control without API billing.
* Use '''AI Cabin Crew''' if you want the most flexible and dynamic wording.
* For later arrival timing, use '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', or '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH''' instead of '''Runway Exit'''.
* For a reliable post-arrival door-disarm message, '''Engines Off''' is usually the safest default.
* If a custom announcement shows '''Manual Only''', change its segment from '''All''' to a segment that supports automatic triggers.
* If a not-ready reply sounds incomplete, include '''{status_reason}''' in the response text or AI prompt.

== Cabin Crew Announcements ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section documents the dedicated Cabin Crew Announcements page. It controls passenger announcements, interphone replies, crew voice mode, automatic trigger timing, and OpenAI-based AI cabin crew features.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #2563eb; background:#eff6ff; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#172554;">
'''Important:''' FSFO controls '''when''' an announcement or reply is used. Your selected crew mode controls '''how it sounds'''. Static uses WAV files, TTS uses a Windows SAPI voice, and AI uses your OpenAI API key plus the AI settings on this page.
</div>

=== Page Overview ===

The Cabin Crew Announcements page controls:

* Passenger-facing cabin announcements.
* Cabin replies to flight-deck calls.
* Flight-deck replies back to cabin crew calls.
* Custom announcement content for Static, TTS, and AI users.
* OpenAI setup and AI tuning options for dynamic cabin speech.

=== Crew Modes ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0 26px 0; border-collapse:collapse;"

|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Static Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Play pre-recorded WAV files
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses built-in WAV files for built-in announcements and built-in responses. For the custom announcement only, Static mode lets the user browse to a WAV file instead of typing TTS text.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | TTS Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Use your custom messages spoken by a Windows voice
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved TTS text for each announcement or response and plays it with the selected SAPI voice.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | AI Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Generate dynamic announcements with ChatGPT / OpenAI
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved AI prompt, AI style, voice output, creativity, message length, and global prompt settings to generate dynamic spoken announcements and interphone replies.
|}

When you switch crew modes:

* Preview buttons immediately use that mode.
* The Edit panel changes to match that mode.
* The Responses page follows that same mode.
* Flight-deck answers stay consistent with the selected announcement mode, so replies sound like the same system the user chose.

=== Announcement List ===

The main data grid is the Announcement List. It contains the built-in announcement rows plus one optional custom announcement row.

<div style="clear:both; margin:18px 0 20px 0; text-align:center;">
[[File:FSFO_Announcements_AddAndResponses.png|520px|frameless]]
<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The top-right controls switch between Announcements and Responses or open the custom announcement editor.</div>
</div>

The top controls are:

* '''Enable All''' - turns the attendant announcement system on or off without deleting row settings.
* '''Responses''' - switches the data grid from announcement rows to response rows. When active, this button changes to '''Announcements'''.
* '''+ Add Announcement''' - opens the custom announcement editor.

The announcement grid columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Announcement''' - row name.
* '''Trigger''' - current trigger selection.
* '''Delay''' - delay before playback.
* '''Segment''' - the flight segment used for trigger logic.
* '''Conditions''' - operational note or phase reminder.
* '''Status / Actions''' - row checkbox plus Preview, Trigger, and Edit buttons.

The row actions are:

* '''Row checkbox''' - enables or disables that announcement.
* '''Preview''' - plays a preview using the current crew mode.
* '''Trigger''' - opens the trigger editor for that row.
* '''Edit''' - opens the content editor. In Static mode, only the custom announcement switches to a WAV browser; built-in static rows still use their stock WAV files.

=== Trigger Editor ===

The trigger editor is opened with the '''Trigger''' button on an announcement row. It contains:

* '''Trigger Point''' - the automatic event to watch for.
* '''Delay''' - the delay before playback.
* '''Selected Trigger''' - a readback preview of the selected trigger.

If a row is manual-only, the trigger selector is disabled and shows '''Manual Only'''.

The available flight segments are:

* Preflight
* Taxi-Out
* Climb
* Airborne
* Descent
* Approach
* Final
* Rollout
* Taxi-In
* Shutdown
* All

Special trigger notes:

* '''Service Start''' only supports '''Service Started'''.
* '''Cabin Secure for Landing''' supports the full approach trigger set from '''Below 15,000 ft''' through '''Below 5,000 ft''' plus '''Landing Lights On'''.
* '''Arrival Welcome''' supports '''Runway Exit''', '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', and '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH'''.
* '''Doors Disarmed''' supports '''Beacon Off''', '''Taxi Off''', '''Engines Off''', and '''Doors Open'''. The default is '''Engines Off'''.
* If the custom announcement is left on the '''All''' segment, it has no automatic trigger list and behaves as '''Manual Only''' until the segment is changed.

=== Responses ===

The '''Responses''' button switches the grid from passenger announcements to interphone response definitions. These responses are used when:

* The comm panel asks the cabin or the flight deck a question.
* The user presses a related button in the communications panel.
* A supported voice-command workflow triggers an interphone exchange.

In Responses view, the columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Flight Deck Command''' - the call or statement that triggered the response.
* '''Response''' - the response type.
* '''Outcome''' - branch or result such as Approved, Standby, Ready, or Not Ready.
* '''Static WAV''' - the built-in static WAV for Static mode.
* '''Actions''' - Preview and Edit.

Static, TTS, and AI response behavior:

* '''Static Crew''' uses the listed built-in WAV.
* '''TTS Crew''' speaks the configured response text with the cabin TTS voice.
* '''AI Cabin Crew''' generates the reply from the configured AI prompt using the AI settings on this page.

Common cabin response types include:

* Boarding Complete / Still In Progress
* Start Boarding acknowledged
* Ready for Takeoff / Not Ready
* Release Seats acknowledged
* Cabin Service starting
* Turbulence Ahead secured
* Delay Advisory acknowledged
* Turbulence Cleared / Resuming Service
* Prepare for Landing acknowledged
* Prepare for Takeoff acknowledged
* Ready for Landing / Not Ready
* Coffee Request acknowledged
* Cockpit Door Cover acknowledged

Common flight-deck response types include:

* Boarding Request approved or standby
* Boarding Complete acknowledged
* Deboarding Request approved or standby
* Ready for Takeoff Call acknowledged
* Ready for Landing Call acknowledged
* Cabin Service Request approved or standby

Response-specific placeholders:

* '''{status_reason}''' - reason for a not-ready or delayed response.
* '''{response_reason}''' - alternate reason placeholder accepted by the response system.

=== Custom Announcements ===

The '''+ Add Announcement''' button opens the custom announcement editor. The custom row remains hidden until an announcement name is saved.

The custom editor fields are:

* '''Announcement Name''' - required.
* '''Trigger''' - automatic trigger for the selected segment.
* '''Delay''' - playback delay such as 00:10.
* '''Segment''' - determines which automatic triggers are available.
* '''Conditions''' - free-form note shown in the grid.
* '''Save Announcement''' - saves the row and reveals it in the list.
* '''Cancel''' - closes the editor without saving.

Important custom-announcement behavior:

* Only one custom announcement entry is currently supported.
* The selected segment controls whether automatic triggers are available.
* The custom row stores its own name, segment, trigger, delay, conditions, text, AI prompt, enabled state, and optional static WAV path.
* After saving the row, use the pencil icon to edit the actual content.

=== Content Editing By Mode ===

The Edit panel changes based on the crew mode and the item being edited.

In '''TTS Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes a TTS message editor.
* The user edits the exact message that FSFO will speak.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes an AI prompt editor.
* The user edits the prompt that FSFO sends to OpenAI.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''Static Crew''' mode:

* Built-in announcements and built-in responses continue using their stock WAV files.
* The '''custom announcement''' switches to a WAV-path editor with a '''Browse WAV...''' button.
* The preview box shows the selected WAV file path for that custom row.

Common placeholders supported in TTS messages and AI prompts:

* '''{airline}'''
* '''{flight_number}'''
* '''{origin}'''
* '''{destination}'''
* '''{dep_city}'''
* '''{arr_city}'''
* '''{aircraft}'''
* '''{cruise_altitude}'''
* '''{weather}'''
* '''{time}'''
* '''{local_time}'''

<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The lower Static Crew Settings, AI Cabin Crew Settings, and TTS Crew Settings cards.</div>
</div>

'''Static Crew Settings'''

* '''Output Device''' - where static cabin WAV files are played.
* '''Voice Pack Region''' - which regional static voice pack is used.

'''AI Cabin Crew Settings'''

* '''OpenAI API Key''' - stored API key for FSFO AI cabin speech.
* '''Test Key''' - verifies the key works.
* '''Show Key / Hide Key''' - toggles key visibility.
* '''AI Style''' - tone preset such as Professional Airline, Warm and Friendly, or Premium International.
* '''Voice Output''' - selected AI voice output. OpenAI voice entries are labeled in the dropdown with a sex tag such as <code>OpenAI - alloy (male)</code> to make voice selection easier.
* '''Creativity''' - numeric creativity value from 0 to 1.
* '''Message Length''' - Short, Normal, or Extended.
* '''Global AI Prompt''' - shared instruction applied to all AI-generated cabin content.
* '''Cache generated audio''' - reuses the AI-generated announcement text for the current flight so FSFO does not need to regenerate the same automatic AI announcement every time that event is encountered again during that flight session.
* '''Fallback to Static Crew if AI fails''' - uses static audio if AI generation fails.

'''TTS Crew Settings'''

* '''TTS Voice''' - the Windows SAPI voice used for cabin announcements and responses.
* '''Message Variables''' - visible placeholder reminder chips for editable TTS content.

=== AI Cabin Crew Setup ===

FSFO AI Cabin Crew requires an '''OpenAI API key'''. ChatGPT Plus or Pro is '''not''' required. API usage is billed separately through the OpenAI Platform.

Step 1: Open the OpenAI Platform

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/
</div>

Step 2: Add billing or prepaid credits

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
</div>

For initial testing, a small prepaid amount such as '''$5''' or '''$10''' is usually enough. If you want tighter control while testing, leave auto recharge off.

Step 3: Create an API key

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
</div>

Then:

# Click '''Create new secret key'''.
# Give it a name such as '''FSFO AI Cabin Crew'''.
# Leave the default project unless you intentionally use another one.
# Leave permissions at the default unless OpenAI specifically requires something else.
# Click '''Create secret key'''.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #ef4444; background:#fef2f2; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#7f1d1d;">
'''Important security note:''' OpenAI normally shows the full secret key only once. Copy it immediately and keep it private.
</div>

Step 4: Add the key to FSFO

# Open the Cabin Crew Announcements page.
# Select the '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode card.
# Paste the key into '''OpenAI API Key'''.
# Click '''Test Key'''.

Step 5: Finish configuration

* Choose an '''AI Style'''.
* Choose a '''Voice Output'''.
* Adjust '''Creativity''' and '''Message Length''' if needed.
* Add a '''Global AI Prompt''' if you want all AI announcements to share a consistent tone.
* Edit individual announcement or response prompts as needed.

=== Best Practices ===

* Start with '''Static Crew''' if you want a zero-setup experience.
* Move to '''TTS Crew''' if you want full message control without API billing.
* Use '''AI Cabin Crew''' if you want the most flexible and dynamic wording.
* For later arrival timing, use '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', or '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH''' instead of '''Runway Exit'''.
* For a reliable post-arrival door-disarm message, '''Engines Off''' is usually the safest default.
* If a custom announcement shows '''Manual Only''', change its segment from '''All''' to a segment that supports automatic triggers.
* If a not-ready reply sounds incomplete, include '''{status_reason}''' in the response text or AI prompt.

== Flow Options ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section controls how FSFO starts flows automatically. If you leave Auto Flow Policy on one of the built-in modes, FSFO uses its internal logic. If you switch to USER, you can define your own event logic phase by phase.

<li><b>LIGHTS</b> - Uses aircraft lighting and related state cues as the primary automation trigger.</li>
<li><b>USER</b> - Lets you define your own trigger logic for each flow phase.</li>
<li><b>NONE</b> - Turns off automatic flow starts so you can trigger items manually.</li>
</ul>
|}

=== Custom USER Flow Phases ===

When Auto Flow Policy is set to '''USER''', each phase row has three controls:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0 26px 0; border-collapse:collapse;"
! style="width:235px; background:#dbeafe; color:#0f172a; padding:10px; text-align:left;" | Setting
! style="background:#dbeafe; color:#0f172a; padding:10px; text-align:left;" | What it does
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Event
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The type of condition FSFO should watch for. Available event types include '''OFF''', '''NONE''', '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', '''TOD''', '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Trigger
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The sub-condition FSFO should watch within that event type. Available triggers include '''NA''', '''BRAKE''', '''DOORS''', '''FLAPS''', '''LANDING''', '''BEACON''', '''TAXI''', '''NAV''', '''RUNWAY''', and '''PUSHBACK'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Value
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The comparison value used by the event. For numeric event types this is usually a number. For SYSTEM, LIGHTS, or EVENT-based rows this is usually a logical state such as TRUE or FALSE.
|}

FSFO currently exposes custom rows for these phases, in this exact order:

# Preflight
# Before Start
# Start
# After Start
# Taxi
# Before Takeoff
# After Takeoff
# Descent
# Approach
# Landing
# After Landing
# Shutdown

<div style="border-left:5px solid #f59e0b; background:#fffbeb; padding:12px 15px; margin:16px 0 24px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#78350f;">
'''Tip:''' Set Event to '''OFF''' or '''NONE''' to disable a row. '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT''' use Trigger plus TRUE/FALSE style values. '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', and '''TOD''' use numeric values. TOD is entered in nautical miles.
</div>

== RAAS Options ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

These settings tune the Runway Awareness and Advisory System thresholds. Each threshold can be set to zero if you want that specific alert disabled.

|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Headset Tone
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Applies headset or intercom-style coloration to voice playback so the audio sounds more like cockpit comms and less like plain desktop speech.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Comms Texture
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Adds extra radio character such as light hiss or comms-style texture. This is mainly a realism preference.
|-

== Cabin Crew Announcements ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section documents the dedicated Cabin Crew Announcements page. It controls passenger announcements, interphone replies, crew voice mode, automatic trigger timing, and OpenAI-based AI cabin crew features.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #2563eb; background:#eff6ff; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#172554;">
'''Important:''' FSFO controls '''when''' an announcement or reply is used. Your selected crew mode controls '''how it sounds'''. Static uses WAV files, TTS uses a Windows SAPI voice, and AI uses your OpenAI API key plus the AI settings on this page.
</div>

=== Page Overview ===

The Cabin Crew Announcements page controls:

* Passenger-facing cabin announcements.
* Cabin replies to flight-deck calls.
* Flight-deck replies back to cabin crew calls.
* Custom announcement content for Static, TTS, and AI users.
* OpenAI setup and AI tuning options for dynamic cabin speech.

|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Static Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Play pre-recorded WAV files
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses built-in WAV files for built-in announcements and built-in responses. For the custom announcement only, Static mode lets the user browse to a WAV file instead of typing TTS text.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | TTS Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Use your custom messages spoken by a Windows voice
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved TTS text for each announcement or response and plays it with the selected SAPI voice.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | AI Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Generate dynamic announcements with ChatGPT / OpenAI
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved AI prompt, AI style, voice output, creativity, message length, and global prompt settings to generate dynamic spoken announcements and interphone replies.
|}

When you switch crew modes:

* Preview buttons immediately use that mode.
* The Edit panel changes to match that mode.
* The Responses page follows that same mode.
* Flight-deck answers stay consistent with the selected announcement mode, so replies sound like the same system the user chose.

=== Announcement List ===

The main data grid is the Announcement List. It contains the built-in announcement rows plus one optional custom announcement row.

<div style="clear:both; margin:18px 0 20px 0; text-align:center;">
[[File:FSFO_Announcements_AddAndResponses.png|520px|frameless]]
<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The top-right controls switch between Announcements and Responses or open the custom announcement editor.</div>
</div>

The top controls are:

* '''Enable All''' - turns the attendant announcement system on or off without deleting row settings.
* '''Responses''' - switches the data grid from announcement rows to response rows. When active, this button changes to '''Announcements'''.
* '''+ Add Announcement''' - opens the custom announcement editor.

The announcement grid columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Announcement''' - row name.
* '''Trigger''' - current trigger selection.
* '''Delay''' - delay before playback.
* '''Segment''' - the flight segment used for trigger logic.
* '''Conditions''' - operational note or phase reminder.
* '''Status / Actions''' - row checkbox plus Preview, Trigger, and Edit buttons.

The row actions are:

* '''Row checkbox''' - enables or disables that announcement.
* '''Preview''' - plays a preview using the current crew mode.
* '''Trigger''' - opens the trigger editor for that row.
* '''Edit''' - opens the content editor. In Static mode, only the custom announcement switches to a WAV browser; built-in static rows still use their stock WAV files.

* '''Response''' - the response type.
* '''Outcome''' - branch or result such as Approved, Standby, Ready, or Not Ready.
* '''Static WAV''' - the built-in static WAV for Static mode.
* '''Actions''' - Preview and Edit.

Static, TTS, and AI response behavior:

* '''Static Crew''' uses the listed built-in WAV.
* '''TTS Crew''' speaks the configured response text with the cabin TTS voice.
* '''AI Cabin Crew''' generates the reply from the configured AI prompt using the AI settings on this page.

Common cabin response types include:

* Boarding Complete / Still In Progress
* Start Boarding acknowledged
* Ready for Takeoff / Not Ready
* Release Seats acknowledged
* Cabin Service starting
* Turbulence Ahead secured
* Delay Advisory acknowledged
* Turbulence Cleared / Resuming Service
* Prepare for Landing acknowledged
* Prepare for Takeoff acknowledged

Response-specific placeholders:

* '''{status_reason}''' - reason for a not-ready or delayed response.
* '''{response_reason}''' - alternate reason placeholder accepted by the response system.

=== Custom Announcements ===

The '''+ Add Announcement''' button opens the custom announcement editor. The custom row remains hidden until an announcement name is saved.

The custom editor fields are:

* '''Announcement Name''' - required.
* '''Trigger''' - automatic trigger for the selected segment.
* '''Delay''' - playback delay such as 00:10.
* '''Segment''' - determines which automatic triggers are available.
* '''Conditions''' - free-form note shown in the grid.
* '''Save Announcement''' - saves the row and reveals it in the list.
* '''Cancel''' - closes the editor without saving.

Important custom-announcement behavior:

* Only one custom announcement entry is currently supported.
* The selected segment controls whether automatic triggers are available.
* The custom row stores its own name, segment, trigger, delay, conditions, text, AI prompt, enabled state, and optional static WAV path.
* After saving the row, use the pencil icon to edit the actual content.

=== Content Editing By Mode ===

The Edit panel changes based on the crew mode and the item being edited.

In '''TTS Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes a TTS message editor.
* The user edits the exact message that FSFO will speak.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes an AI prompt editor.
* The user edits the prompt that FSFO sends to OpenAI.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''Static Crew''' mode:

* Built-in announcements and built-in responses continue using their stock WAV files.
* The '''custom announcement''' switches to a WAV-path editor with a '''Browse WAV...''' button.
* The preview box shows the selected WAV file path for that custom row.

Common placeholders supported in TTS messages and AI prompts:

* '''{airline}'''
* '''{flight_number}'''
* '''{origin}'''
* '''{destination}'''
* '''{dep_city}'''
* '''{arr_city}'''
* '''{aircraft}'''
* '''{cruise_altitude}'''
* '''{weather}'''
* '''{time}'''
* '''{local_time}'''

* '''Creativity''' - numeric creativity value from 0 to 1.
* '''Message Length''' - Short, Normal, or Extended.
* '''Global AI Prompt''' - shared instruction applied to all AI-generated cabin content.
* '''Cache generated audio''' - reuses the AI-generated announcement text for the current flight so FSFO does not need to regenerate the same automatic AI announcement every time that event is encountered again during that flight session.
* '''Fallback to Static Crew if AI fails''' - uses static audio if AI generation fails.

'''TTS Crew Settings'''

* '''TTS Voice''' - the Windows SAPI voice used for cabin announcements and responses.
* '''Message Variables''' - visible placeholder reminder chips for editable TTS content.

=== AI Cabin Crew Setup ===

FSFO AI Cabin Crew requires an '''OpenAI API key'''. ChatGPT Plus or Pro is '''not''' required. API usage is billed separately through the OpenAI Platform.

Step 1: Open the OpenAI Platform

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/
</div>

Step 2: Add billing or prepaid credits

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
</div>

For initial testing, a small prepaid amount such as '''$5''' or '''$10''' is usually enough. If you want tighter control while testing, leave auto recharge off.

Step 3: Create an API key

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
</div>

Then:

# Click '''Create new secret key'''.
# Give it a name such as '''FSFO AI Cabin Crew'''.
# Leave the default project unless you intentionally use another one.
# Leave permissions at the default unless OpenAI specifically requires something else.
# Click '''Create secret key'''.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #ef4444; background:#fef2f2; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#7f1d1d;">
'''Important security note:''' OpenAI normally shows the full secret key only once. Copy it immediately and keep it private.
</div>

Step 4: Add the key to FSFO

# Open the Cabin Crew Announcements page.
# Select the '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode card.
# Paste the key into '''OpenAI API Key'''.
# Click '''Test Key'''.

Step 5: Finish configuration

* Choose an '''AI Style'''.
* Choose a '''Voice Output'''.
* Adjust '''Creativity''' and '''Message Length''' if needed.
* Add a '''Global AI Prompt''' if you want all AI announcements to share a consistent tone.
* Edit individual announcement or response prompts as needed.

=== Best Practices ===

* Start with '''Static Crew''' if you want a zero-setup experience.
* Move to '''TTS Crew''' if you want full message control without API billing.
* Use '''AI Cabin Crew''' if you want the most flexible and dynamic wording.
* For later arrival timing, use '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', or '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH''' instead of '''Runway Exit'''.
* For a reliable post-arrival door-disarm message, '''Engines Off''' is usually the safest default.
* If a custom announcement shows '''Manual Only''', change its segment from '''All''' to a segment that supports automatic triggers.
* If a not-ready reply sounds incomplete, include '''{status_reason}''' in the response text or AI prompt.

<li><b>LIGHTS</b> - Uses aircraft lighting and related state cues as the primary automation trigger.</li>
<li><b>USER</b> - Lets you define your own trigger logic for each flow phase.</li>
<li><b>NONE</b> - Turns off automatic flow starts so you can trigger items manually.</li>
</ul>
|}

=== Custom USER Flow Phases ===

When Auto Flow Policy is set to '''USER''', each phase row has three controls:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0 26px 0; border-collapse:collapse;"

! style="background:#dbeafe; color:#0f172a; padding:10px; text-align:left;" | What it does
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Event
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The type of condition FSFO should watch for. Available event types include '''OFF''', '''NONE''', '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', '''TOD''', '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Trigger
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The sub-condition FSFO should watch within that event type. Available triggers include '''NA''', '''BRAKE''', '''DOORS''', '''FLAPS''', '''LANDING''', '''BEACON''', '''TAXI''', '''NAV''', '''RUNWAY''', and '''PUSHBACK'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Value
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The comparison value used by the event. For numeric event types this is usually a number. For SYSTEM, LIGHTS, or EVENT-based rows this is usually a logical state such as TRUE or FALSE.
|}

FSFO currently exposes custom rows for these phases, in this exact order:

# Preflight
# Before Start
# Start
# After Start
# Taxi
# Before Takeoff
# After Takeoff
# Descent
# Approach
# Landing
# After Landing
# Shutdown

<div style="border-left:5px solid #f59e0b; background:#fffbeb; padding:12px 15px; margin:16px 0 24px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#78350f;">
'''Tip:''' Set Event to '''OFF''' or '''NONE''' to disable a row. '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT''' use Trigger plus TRUE/FALSE style values. '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', and '''TOD''' use numeric values. TOD is entered in nautical miles.
</div>

== RAAS Options ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

These settings tune the Runway Awareness and Advisory System thresholds. Each threshold can be set to zero if you want that specific alert disabled.

== Cabin Crew Announcements ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section documents the dedicated Cabin Crew Announcements page. It controls passenger announcements, interphone replies, crew voice mode, automatic trigger timing, and OpenAI-based AI cabin crew features.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #2563eb; background:#eff6ff; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#172554;">
'''Important:''' FSFO controls '''when''' an announcement or reply is used. Your selected crew mode controls '''how it sounds'''. Static uses WAV files, TTS uses a Windows SAPI voice, and AI uses your OpenAI API key plus the AI settings on this page.
</div>

=== Page Overview ===

The Cabin Crew Announcements page controls:

* Passenger-facing cabin announcements.
* Cabin replies to flight-deck calls.
* Flight-deck replies back to cabin crew calls.
* Custom announcement content for Static, TTS, and AI users.
* OpenAI setup and AI tuning options for dynamic cabin speech.

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Play pre-recorded WAV files
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses built-in WAV files for built-in announcements and built-in responses. For the custom announcement only, Static mode lets the user browse to a WAV file instead of typing TTS text.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | TTS Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Use your custom messages spoken by a Windows voice
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved TTS text for each announcement or response and plays it with the selected SAPI voice.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | AI Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Generate dynamic announcements with ChatGPT / OpenAI
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved AI prompt, AI style, voice output, creativity, message length, and global prompt settings to generate dynamic spoken announcements and interphone replies.
|}

When you switch crew modes:

* Preview buttons immediately use that mode.
* The Edit panel changes to match that mode.
* The Responses page follows that same mode.
* Flight-deck answers stay consistent with the selected announcement mode, so replies sound like the same system the user chose.

=== Announcement List ===

The main data grid is the Announcement List. It contains the built-in announcement rows plus one optional custom announcement row.

<div style="clear:both; margin:18px 0 20px 0; text-align:center;">
[[File:FSFO_Announcements_AddAndResponses.png|520px|frameless]]
<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The top-right controls switch between Announcements and Responses or open the custom announcement editor.</div>
</div>

The top controls are:

* '''Enable All''' - turns the attendant announcement system on or off without deleting row settings.
* '''Responses''' - switches the data grid from announcement rows to response rows. When active, this button changes to '''Announcements'''.
* '''+ Add Announcement''' - opens the custom announcement editor.

The announcement grid columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Announcement''' - row name.
* '''Trigger''' - current trigger selection.
* '''Delay''' - delay before playback.
* '''Segment''' - the flight segment used for trigger logic.
* '''Conditions''' - operational note or phase reminder.
* '''Status / Actions''' - row checkbox plus Preview, Trigger, and Edit buttons.

The row actions are:

* '''Row checkbox''' - enables or disables that announcement.
* '''Preview''' - plays a preview using the current crew mode.
* '''Trigger''' - opens the trigger editor for that row.
* '''Edit''' - opens the content editor. In Static mode, only the custom announcement switches to a WAV browser; built-in static rows still use their stock WAV files.

=== Trigger Editor ===

The trigger editor is opened with the '''Trigger''' button on an announcement row. It contains:

* '''Trigger Point''' - the automatic event to watch for.
* '''Delay''' - the delay before playback.
* '''Selected Trigger''' - a readback preview of the selected trigger.

If a row is manual-only, the trigger selector is disabled and shows '''Manual Only'''.

The available flight segments are:

* Preflight
* Taxi-Out
* Climb
* Airborne
* Descent
* Approach
* Final
* Rollout
* Taxi-In
* Shutdown
* All

Special trigger notes:

* '''Service Start''' only supports '''Service Started'''.
* '''Cabin Secure for Landing''' supports the full approach trigger set from '''Below 15,000 ft''' through '''Below 5,000 ft''' plus '''Landing Lights On'''.
* '''Arrival Welcome''' supports '''Runway Exit''', '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', and '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH'''.
* '''Doors Disarmed''' supports '''Beacon Off''', '''Taxi Off''', '''Engines Off''', and '''Doors Open'''. The default is '''Engines Off'''.
* If the custom announcement is left on the '''All''' segment, it has no automatic trigger list and behaves as '''Manual Only''' until the segment is changed.

=== Responses ===

The '''Responses''' button switches the grid from passenger announcements to interphone response definitions. These responses are used when:

* The comm panel asks the cabin or the flight deck a question.
* The user presses a related button in the communications panel.
* A supported voice-command workflow triggers an interphone exchange.

In Responses view, the columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Flight Deck Command''' - the call or statement that triggered the response.
* '''Response''' - the response type.
* '''Outcome''' - branch or result such as Approved, Standby, Ready, or Not Ready.
* '''Static WAV''' - the built-in static WAV for Static mode.
* '''Actions''' - Preview and Edit.

Static, TTS, and AI response behavior:

* '''Static Crew''' uses the listed built-in WAV.
* '''TTS Crew''' speaks the configured response text with the cabin TTS voice.
* '''AI Cabin Crew''' generates the reply from the configured AI prompt using the AI settings on this page.

Common cabin response types include:

* Boarding Complete / Still In Progress
* Start Boarding acknowledged
* Ready for Takeoff / Not Ready
* Release Seats acknowledged
* Cabin Service starting
* Turbulence Ahead secured
* Delay Advisory acknowledged
* Turbulence Cleared / Resuming Service
* Prepare for Landing acknowledged
* Prepare for Takeoff acknowledged
* Ready for Landing / Not Ready
* Coffee Request acknowledged
* Cockpit Door Cover acknowledged

Common flight-deck response types include:

* Boarding Request approved or standby
* Boarding Complete acknowledged
* Deboarding Request approved or standby
* Ready for Takeoff Call acknowledged
* Ready for Landing Call acknowledged
* Cabin Service Request approved or standby

Response-specific placeholders:

* '''{status_reason}''' - reason for a not-ready or delayed response.
* '''{response_reason}''' - alternate reason placeholder accepted by the response system.

=== Custom Announcements ===

The '''+ Add Announcement''' button opens the custom announcement editor. The custom row remains hidden until an announcement name is saved.

The custom editor fields are:

* '''Announcement Name''' - required.
* '''Trigger''' - automatic trigger for the selected segment.
* '''Delay''' - playback delay such as 00:10.
* '''Segment''' - determines which automatic triggers are available.
* '''Conditions''' - free-form note shown in the grid.
* '''Save Announcement''' - saves the row and reveals it in the list.
* '''Cancel''' - closes the editor without saving.

Important custom-announcement behavior:

* Only one custom announcement entry is currently supported.
* The selected segment controls whether automatic triggers are available.
* The custom row stores its own name, segment, trigger, delay, conditions, text, AI prompt, enabled state, and optional static WAV path.
* After saving the row, use the pencil icon to edit the actual content.

=== Content Editing By Mode ===

The Edit panel changes based on the crew mode and the item being edited.

In '''TTS Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes a TTS message editor.
* The user edits the exact message that FSFO will speak.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes an AI prompt editor.
* The user edits the prompt that FSFO sends to OpenAI.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''Static Crew''' mode:

* Built-in announcements and built-in responses continue using their stock WAV files.
* The '''custom announcement''' switches to a WAV-path editor with a '''Browse WAV...''' button.
* The preview box shows the selected WAV file path for that custom row.

Common placeholders supported in TTS messages and AI prompts:

* '''{airline}'''
* '''{flight_number}'''
* '''{origin}'''
* '''{destination}'''
* '''{dep_city}'''
* '''{arr_city}'''
* '''{aircraft}'''
* '''{cruise_altitude}'''
* '''{weather}'''
* '''{time}'''
* '''{local_time}'''

</div>

'''Static Crew Settings'''

* '''Output Device''' - where static cabin WAV files are played.
* '''Voice Pack Region''' - which regional static voice pack is used.

'''AI Cabin Crew Settings'''

* '''OpenAI API Key''' - stored API key for FSFO AI cabin speech.
* '''Test Key''' - verifies the key works.
* '''Show Key / Hide Key''' - toggles key visibility.
* '''AI Style''' - tone preset such as Professional Airline, Warm and Friendly, or Premium International.
* '''Voice Output''' - selected AI voice output. OpenAI voice entries are labeled in the dropdown with a sex tag such as <code>OpenAI - alloy (male)</code> to make voice selection easier.
* '''Creativity''' - numeric creativity value from 0 to 1.
* '''Message Length''' - Short, Normal, or Extended.
* '''Global AI Prompt''' - shared instruction applied to all AI-generated cabin content.
* '''Cache generated audio''' - reuses the AI-generated announcement text for the current flight so FSFO does not need to regenerate the same automatic AI announcement every time that event is encountered again during that flight session.
* '''Fallback to Static Crew if AI fails''' - uses static audio if AI generation fails.

'''TTS Crew Settings'''

* '''TTS Voice''' - the Windows SAPI voice used for cabin announcements and responses.
* '''Message Variables''' - visible placeholder reminder chips for editable TTS content.

=== AI Cabin Crew Setup ===

FSFO AI Cabin Crew requires an '''OpenAI API key'''. ChatGPT Plus or Pro is '''not''' required. API usage is billed separately through the OpenAI Platform.

Step 1: Open the OpenAI Platform

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/
</div>

Step 2: Add billing or prepaid credits

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
</div>

For initial testing, a small prepaid amount such as '''$5''' or '''$10''' is usually enough. If you want tighter control while testing, leave auto recharge off.

Step 3: Create an API key

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
</div>

Then:

# Click '''Create new secret key'''.
# Give it a name such as '''FSFO AI Cabin Crew'''.
# Leave the default project unless you intentionally use another one.
# Leave permissions at the default unless OpenAI specifically requires something else.
# Click '''Create secret key'''.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #ef4444; background:#fef2f2; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#7f1d1d;">
'''Important security note:''' OpenAI normally shows the full secret key only once. Copy it immediately and keep it private.
</div>

Step 4: Add the key to FSFO

# Open the Cabin Crew Announcements page.
# Select the '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode card.
# Paste the key into '''OpenAI API Key'''.
# Click '''Test Key'''.

Step 5: Finish configuration

* Choose an '''AI Style'''.
* Choose a '''Voice Output'''.
* Adjust '''Creativity''' and '''Message Length''' if needed.
* Add a '''Global AI Prompt''' if you want all AI announcements to share a consistent tone.
* Edit individual announcement or response prompts as needed.

=== Best Practices ===

* Start with '''Static Crew''' if you want a zero-setup experience.
* Move to '''TTS Crew''' if you want full message control without API billing.
* Use '''AI Cabin Crew''' if you want the most flexible and dynamic wording.
* For later arrival timing, use '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', or '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH''' instead of '''Runway Exit'''.
* For a reliable post-arrival door-disarm message, '''Engines Off''' is usually the safest default.
* If a custom announcement shows '''Manual Only''', change its segment from '''All''' to a segment that supports automatic triggers.
* If a not-ready reply sounds incomplete, include '''{status_reason}''' in the response text or AI prompt.

<li><b>LIGHTS</b> - Uses aircraft lighting and related state cues as the primary automation trigger.</li>
<li><b>USER</b> - Lets you define your own trigger logic for each flow phase.</li>
<li><b>NONE</b> - Turns off automatic flow starts so you can trigger items manually.</li>
</ul>
|}

=== Custom USER Flow Phases ===

When Auto Flow Policy is set to '''USER''', each phase row has three controls:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0 26px 0; border-collapse:collapse;"

! style="background:#dbeafe; color:#0f172a; padding:10px; text-align:left;" | What it does
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Event
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The type of condition FSFO should watch for. Available event types include '''OFF''', '''NONE''', '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', '''TOD''', '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Trigger
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The sub-condition FSFO should watch within that event type. Available triggers include '''NA''', '''BRAKE''', '''DOORS''', '''FLAPS''', '''LANDING''', '''BEACON''', '''TAXI''', '''NAV''', '''RUNWAY''', and '''PUSHBACK'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Value
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The comparison value used by the event. For numeric event types this is usually a number. For SYSTEM, LIGHTS, or EVENT-based rows this is usually a logical state such as TRUE or FALSE.
|}

FSFO currently exposes custom rows for these phases, in this exact order:

# Preflight
# Before Start
# Start
# After Start
# Taxi
# Before Takeoff
# After Takeoff
# Descent
# Approach
# Landing
# After Landing
# Shutdown

<div style="border-left:5px solid #f59e0b; background:#fffbeb; padding:12px 15px; margin:16px 0 24px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#78350f;">
'''Tip:''' Set Event to '''OFF''' or '''NONE''' to disable a row. '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT''' use Trigger plus TRUE/FALSE style values. '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', and '''TOD''' use numeric values. TOD is entered in nautical miles.
</div>

== RAAS Options ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Pilots
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the playback device used for captain and first officer voices. Use this if you want pilot voices in a headset while keeping other sounds on speakers.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the playback device used for cabin crew announcements. Many users keep this on speakers to make the cabin sound more separate from cockpit audio.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Region
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Chooses the accent or regional voice style FSFO should prefer when supported by the selected voice engine.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Speech Eng
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the speech engine FSFO will use. Microsoft Speech is usually the most accurate. VOSK is useful for offline or alternate-device support. SAPI mode is used when you want to choose installed SAPI voices directly.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Mic Input
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the microphone or input device FSFO should listen to when the chosen speech engine supports direct device selection. Microsoft Speech generally uses the Windows default microphone, while VOSK can use the device selected here.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | SAPI Pilot
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the installed SAPI voice used for the captain voice when SAPI speech is enabled.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | SAPI Co-pilot
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the installed SAPI voice used for the first officer when SAPI speech is enabled.
|-

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Selects the installed SAPI voice used for cabin announcements when SAPI speech is enabled.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | SAPI Rate
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls how quickly SAPI voices speak. If voices feel too slow or too rushed, adjust this before changing other audio settings.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Pilot Volume
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls the loudness of pilot and copilot speech.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Crew Volume
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls the loudness of flight attendant and cabin crew speech.

| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls the loudness of boarding ambience, background sounds, and related non-voice cabin audio.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Pilots dB Gain
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Adds or subtracts decibels from pilot voice playback before the normal volume slider is applied. This is useful when a voice is technically too quiet even with the slider raised.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Amb dB Gain
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Adds or subtracts decibels from ambience playback before the normal ambience volume slider is applied.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Readback
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Controls the spacing or pacing used during readbacks, especially where letters, numbers, and short phrase groups need slightly clearer separation.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Headset Tone
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Applies headset or intercom-style coloration to voice playback so the audio sounds more like cockpit comms and less like plain desktop speech.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Comms Texture
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Adds extra radio character such as light hiss or comms-style texture. This is mainly a realism preference.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Open Mic
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Keeps speech recognition listening continuously unless it is muted. This is the best choice if you prefer hands-free operation.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Start Speech On Start
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Automatically turns speech recognition on when FSFO starts, so you do not need to enable it manually every session.

== Cabin Crew Announcements ==

<div style="height:4px; width:100%; background:#2563eb; border-radius:99px; margin:0 0 16px 0;"></div>

This section documents the dedicated Cabin Crew Announcements page. It controls passenger announcements, interphone replies, crew voice mode, automatic trigger timing, and OpenAI-based AI cabin crew features.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #2563eb; background:#eff6ff; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#172554;">
'''Important:''' FSFO controls '''when''' an announcement or reply is used. Your selected crew mode controls '''how it sounds'''. Static uses WAV files, TTS uses a Windows SAPI voice, and AI uses your OpenAI API key plus the AI settings on this page.
</div>

=== Page Overview ===

The Cabin Crew Announcements page controls:

* Passenger-facing cabin announcements.
* Cabin replies to flight-deck calls.
* Flight-deck replies back to cabin crew calls.
* Custom announcement content for Static, TTS, and AI users.
* OpenAI setup and AI tuning options for dynamic cabin speech.

|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Static Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Play pre-recorded WAV files
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses built-in WAV files for built-in announcements and built-in responses. For the custom announcement only, Static mode lets the user browse to a WAV file instead of typing TTS text.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | TTS Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Use your custom messages spoken by a Windows voice
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved TTS text for each announcement or response and plays it with the selected SAPI voice.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | AI Cabin Crew
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Generate dynamic announcements with ChatGPT / OpenAI
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | Uses the saved AI prompt, AI style, voice output, creativity, message length, and global prompt settings to generate dynamic spoken announcements and interphone replies.
|}

When you switch crew modes:

* Preview buttons immediately use that mode.
* The Edit panel changes to match that mode.
* The Responses page follows that same mode.
* Flight-deck answers stay consistent with the selected announcement mode, so replies sound like the same system the user chose.

=== Announcement List ===

The main data grid is the Announcement List. It contains the built-in announcement rows plus one optional custom announcement row.

<div style="clear:both; margin:18px 0 20px 0; text-align:center;">
[[File:FSFO_Announcements_AddAndResponses.png|520px|frameless]]
<div style="font-size:90%; color:#64748b; margin-top:7px;">The top-right controls switch between Announcements and Responses or open the custom announcement editor.</div>
</div>

The top controls are:

* '''Enable All''' - turns the attendant announcement system on or off without deleting row settings.
* '''Responses''' - switches the data grid from announcement rows to response rows. When active, this button changes to '''Announcements'''.
* '''+ Add Announcement''' - opens the custom announcement editor.

The announcement grid columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Announcement''' - row name.
* '''Trigger''' - current trigger selection.
* '''Delay''' - delay before playback.
* '''Segment''' - the flight segment used for trigger logic.
* '''Conditions''' - operational note or phase reminder.
* '''Status / Actions''' - row checkbox plus Preview, Trigger, and Edit buttons.

The row actions are:

* '''Row checkbox''' - enables or disables that announcement.
* '''Preview''' - plays a preview using the current crew mode.
* '''Trigger''' - opens the trigger editor for that row.
* '''Edit''' - opens the content editor. In Static mode, only the custom announcement switches to a WAV browser; built-in static rows still use their stock WAV files.

Special trigger notes:

* '''Service Start''' only supports '''Service Started'''.
* '''Cabin Secure for Landing''' supports the full approach trigger set from '''Below 15,000 ft''' through '''Below 5,000 ft''' plus '''Landing Lights On'''.
* '''Arrival Welcome''' supports '''Runway Exit''', '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', and '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH'''.
* '''Doors Disarmed''' supports '''Beacon Off''', '''Taxi Off''', '''Engines Off''', and '''Doors Open'''. The default is '''Engines Off'''.
* If the custom announcement is left on the '''All''' segment, it has no automatic trigger list and behaves as '''Manual Only''' until the segment is changed.

=== Responses ===

The '''Responses''' button switches the grid from passenger announcements to interphone response definitions. These responses are used when:

* The comm panel asks the cabin or the flight deck a question.
* The user presses a related button in the communications panel.
* A supported voice-command workflow triggers an interphone exchange.

In Responses view, the columns are:

* '''#''' - display order.
* '''Flight Deck Command''' - the call or statement that triggered the response.
* '''Response''' - the response type.
* '''Outcome''' - branch or result such as Approved, Standby, Ready, or Not Ready.
* '''Static WAV''' - the built-in static WAV for Static mode.
* '''Actions''' - Preview and Edit.

Static, TTS, and AI response behavior:

* '''Static Crew''' uses the listed built-in WAV.
* '''TTS Crew''' speaks the configured response text with the cabin TTS voice.
* '''AI Cabin Crew''' generates the reply from the configured AI prompt using the AI settings on this page.

Common cabin response types include:

* Boarding Complete / Still In Progress
* Start Boarding acknowledged
* Ready for Takeoff / Not Ready
* Release Seats acknowledged
* Cabin Service starting
* Turbulence Ahead secured
* Delay Advisory acknowledged
* Turbulence Cleared / Resuming Service
* Prepare for Landing acknowledged
* Prepare for Takeoff acknowledged
* Ready for Landing / Not Ready
* Coffee Request acknowledged
* Cockpit Door Cover acknowledged

Common flight-deck response types include:

* Boarding Request approved or standby
* Boarding Complete acknowledged
* Deboarding Request approved or standby
* Ready for Takeoff Call acknowledged
* Ready for Landing Call acknowledged
* Cabin Service Request approved or standby

Response-specific placeholders:

* '''{status_reason}''' - reason for a not-ready or delayed response.
* '''{response_reason}''' - alternate reason placeholder accepted by the response system.

=== Custom Announcements ===

The '''+ Add Announcement''' button opens the custom announcement editor. The custom row remains hidden until an announcement name is saved.

The custom editor fields are:

* '''Announcement Name''' - required.
* '''Trigger''' - automatic trigger for the selected segment.
* '''Delay''' - playback delay such as 00:10.
* '''Segment''' - determines which automatic triggers are available.
* '''Conditions''' - free-form note shown in the grid.
* '''Save Announcement''' - saves the row and reveals it in the list.
* '''Cancel''' - closes the editor without saving.

Important custom-announcement behavior:

* Only one custom announcement entry is currently supported.
* The selected segment controls whether automatic triggers are available.
* The custom row stores its own name, segment, trigger, delay, conditions, text, AI prompt, enabled state, and optional static WAV path.
* After saving the row, use the pencil icon to edit the actual content.

=== Content Editing By Mode ===

The Edit panel changes based on the crew mode and the item being edited.

In '''TTS Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes a TTS message editor.
* The user edits the exact message that FSFO will speak.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode:

* The title becomes an AI prompt editor.
* The user edits the prompt that FSFO sends to OpenAI.
* This works for both announcements and response rows.

In '''Static Crew''' mode:

* Built-in announcements and built-in responses continue using their stock WAV files.
* The '''custom announcement''' switches to a WAV-path editor with a '''Browse WAV...''' button.
* The preview box shows the selected WAV file path for that custom row.

Common placeholders supported in TTS messages and AI prompts:

* '''{airline}'''
* '''{flight_number}'''
* '''{origin}'''
* '''{destination}'''
* '''{dep_city}'''
* '''{arr_city}'''
* '''{aircraft}'''
* '''{cruise_altitude}'''
* '''{weather}'''
* '''{time}'''
* '''{local_time}'''

=== AI Cabin Crew Setup ===

FSFO AI Cabin Crew requires an '''OpenAI API key'''. ChatGPT Plus or Pro is '''not''' required. API usage is billed separately through the OpenAI Platform.

Step 1: Open the OpenAI Platform

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/
</div>

Step 2: Add billing or prepaid credits

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
</div>

For initial testing, a small prepaid amount such as '''$5''' or '''$10''' is usually enough. If you want tighter control while testing, leave auto recharge off.

Step 3: Create an API key

<div style="background:#f8fafc; border:1px solid #dbeafe; border-radius:10px; padding:12px 14px; margin:10px 0 18px 0; font-family:Consolas,monospace;">
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
</div>

Then:

# Click '''Create new secret key'''.
# Give it a name such as '''FSFO AI Cabin Crew'''.
# Leave the default project unless you intentionally use another one.
# Leave permissions at the default unless OpenAI specifically requires something else.
# Click '''Create secret key'''.

<div style="border-left:5px solid #ef4444; background:#fef2f2; padding:12px 15px; margin:0 0 18px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#7f1d1d;">
'''Important security note:''' OpenAI normally shows the full secret key only once. Copy it immediately and keep it private.
</div>

Step 4: Add the key to FSFO

# Open the Cabin Crew Announcements page.
# Select the '''AI Cabin Crew''' mode card.
# Paste the key into '''OpenAI API Key'''.
# Click '''Test Key'''.

Step 5: Finish configuration

* Choose an '''AI Style'''.
* Choose a '''Voice Output'''.
* Adjust '''Creativity''' and '''Message Length''' if needed.
* Add a '''Global AI Prompt''' if you want all AI announcements to share a consistent tone.
* Edit individual announcement or response prompts as needed.

=== Best Practices ===

* Start with '''Static Crew''' if you want a zero-setup experience.
* Move to '''TTS Crew''' if you want full message control without API billing.
* Use '''AI Cabin Crew''' if you want the most flexible and dynamic wording.
* For later arrival timing, use '''Landing Lights Off''', '''Ground Speed Below 45 MPH''', or '''Ground Speed Below 20 MPH''' instead of '''Runway Exit'''.
* For a reliable post-arrival door-disarm message, '''Engines Off''' is usually the safest default.
* If a custom announcement shows '''Manual Only''', change its segment from '''All''' to a segment that supports automatic triggers.
* If a not-ready reply sounds incomplete, include '''{status_reason}''' in the response text or AI prompt.

<li><b>LIGHTS</b> - Uses aircraft lighting and related state cues as the primary automation trigger.</li>
<li><b>USER</b> - Lets you define your own trigger logic for each flow phase.</li>
<li><b>NONE</b> - Turns off automatic flow starts so you can trigger items manually.</li>
</ul>
|}

=== Custom USER Flow Phases ===

When Auto Flow Policy is set to '''USER''', each phase row has three controls:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0 26px 0; border-collapse:collapse;"

! style="background:#dbeafe; color:#0f172a; padding:10px; text-align:left;" | What it does
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Event
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The type of condition FSFO should watch for. Available event types include '''OFF''', '''NONE''', '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', '''TOD''', '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Trigger
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The sub-condition FSFO should watch within that event type. Available triggers include '''NA''', '''BRAKE''', '''DOORS''', '''FLAPS''', '''LANDING''', '''BEACON''', '''TAXI''', '''NAV''', '''RUNWAY''', and '''PUSHBACK'''.
|-
| style="font-weight:700; vertical-align:top; padding:10px; background:#f8fafc;" | Value
| style="vertical-align:top; padding:10px;" | The comparison value used by the event. For numeric event types this is usually a number. For SYSTEM, LIGHTS, or EVENT-based rows this is usually a logical state such as TRUE or FALSE.
|}

FSFO currently exposes custom rows for these phases, in this exact order:

# Preflight
# Before Start
# Start
# After Start
# Taxi
# Before Takeoff
# After Takeoff
# Descent
# Approach
# Landing
# After Landing
# Shutdown

<div style="border-left:5px solid #f59e0b; background:#fffbeb; padding:12px 15px; margin:16px 0 24px 0; border-radius:8px; color:#78350f;">
'''Tip:''' Set Event to '''OFF''' or '''NONE''' to disable a row. '''SYSTEM''', '''LIGHTS''', and '''EVENT''' use Trigger plus TRUE/FALSE style values. '''TIME''', '''IAS''', '''AGL''', '''MSL''', and '''TOD''' use numeric values. TOD is entered in nautical miles.
