hi chris. Yes that is true, that say will speak your ls, so it would be reasonable too believe it would also speak the temp, right? But here is the funny thing it wont. I have thankfully forgotten why it is indeed so, but we had quite a bit of a headache with it when we had too rewrite the speech system for flightgear. The way the speechsystem works for flightgear is nearly the same, you pipe stuff from the simulator into the macs own tts, but that is another storry intirely....
