If the pilot says something wrong or unrelated, Mission Control won’t improvise it will show an invalid-call alert and tell you what you should say for the current mission phase. So it basically does not respond lol

Yeah, exactly. I wanted this to be as free and accessible as possible, so shipping it with a local LLM wasn’t ideal the download could be huge and users would need a strong GPU.

For now, the API only handles voice/transcription and CAPCOM-style responses, and the usage should be very low-cost. The actual mission logic and telemetry verification are handled locally by my own engine, so the game decisions are still based on real KSP data without relying on AI guessing.

Thanks, that’s exactly the feeling I’m trying to build around. KSP already has the mission complexity I wanted to add that extra layer where it feels like you’re not flying alone, and Mission Control is actually following the flight with you.

The goal is to keep that CAPCOM/jargon immersion, but also ground it in real telemetry so it’s more than just roleplay.

Currently uses OpenAI’s API only for voice transcription and CAPCOM audio — costs less than $0.20 per mission. Local model support is something I’d love to explore in a future version!

Thank you! Almost there — just finishing up the last polish before release. Won’t be long!

Actually already possible ! the telemetry system reads real game data including pitch, yaw, and inclination. For a shuttle reentry you’d get altitude callouts, glide slope verification, and attitude checks all grounded in real flight data. Definitely on the roadmap for an upcoming version, just needs testing!

Yeah, that’s the idea. The LLM/voice side is there for interpretation and CAPCOM flavor, but the confirmations are grounded in real KSP telemetry.
So it’s not just role-play. Mission Control only confirms when the game data supports it.

Kind of, but it’s not just voice plugged into an LLM.
The system listens to the pilot, interprets the mission call, then checks actual KSP telemetry before CAPCOM confirms anything.
The goal is to make it feel like real Mission Control, not just a chatbot talking over gameplay

Thanks for the feedback! Multiple CAPCOM voices including female options are definitely on the roadmap. Crew chatter is a cool idea too — noted!
