If you are referring to the GSX Pushback or Deice crew, they are not AI, they are real people from Turkey who generously offered their time to do the voices. The flight attendants "Hello" sounds with a Turkish accents, instead, are AI generated, like every other flight attendants voice.

Yeah, pb and deice voices are quite real, i know it. I actually referred to the boarding voices, which are the same whereever i go.

Boarding voices are not linked to the airport but, instead, to the alrline nationality, assuming it has been recognized from the icao_airline parameter of the aircraft.cfg AND it's recognized as a supported airline for which GSX crew has a custom uniform. Lacking any of the two requirements, the Crew will have generic uniforms with a generic US English accent.

The "accent" that FSDT just published for GSX genuinely feels like a casually racist parody.
If anyone wants to see for themselves and owns GSX pro, go to "Addon Manager\couatl\GSX\sounds\en-jp" and look for yourself.
It even gets to the rediculous point of "welcome" apparently being replaced with "wercome". Which isnt even how the Ls to Rs part of Japanese speaking works. There was clearly no thought put into it and not even the slightest google search. A youtube search on "Japanese people speaking english" and a 2 min listen to a video would've indicated just how wrong these sounds are.

I get what you're saying, and I agree—it sounds like they really missed the mark here. Creating an accent just by swapping Ls with Rs is not only inaccurate but also feels outdated and tone-deaf. Japanese speakers have their own unique way of pronouncing English, and it's not as simple as L/R replacement. It would have made a huge difference if they'd taken the time to research and consult native speakers to get it right.

It doesn't seem you read my explanation. Nobody "swapped Ls with Rs" here, the voices has been generated with AI, which has been trained over a voice of a real Japanese person speaking English.

As I've said already, we had a certain kind of AI voices for Pushback in Turkish. An user from Turkey offered to do real recordings, so we now have real Turkish voices for Pushback. That's what you should do, instead of complaining that "AI sounds bad"
