The Russian voice of the navigator — Mikhail

The rally navigator in the game speaks only English. This mod adds a full-fledged Russian voice.

All commands that the game can issue are covered: steepness, length and shape of turns, distances, trajectory and cut hints, warnings, jumps and ridges, as well as system messages before and during the special stage.

Voice
The voice belongs to the author of the mod, which is why the navigator's name is Mikhail: the author saw no point in coming up with a name for someone who already sounds like him. The reading proceeds at a working pace, rather than with an announcement: short, smooth and slightly jerky, as the navigator says when the special stage is already underway.

The lines were generated by cloning a sample of the author's voice, and then checked one at a time: each clip was transcribed back and compared with what he was supposed to say, so that not a single command contains an extra word. The accents are also not left to the discretion of the model — they are manually placed in all 180 lines.

What the user gets
Two navigators, one voice. "Mikhail (Russian) — Enthusiast" and "Mikhail (Russian) — Casual" both appear in the selection list, corresponding to the two standard notebook styles.

180 clips, full coverage. The package is based on a set of phrases that the game itself announces, and each necessary clip is checked for availability before recording the archive.

First, the direction. The commands are formulated the way they are read by Russian crews — the direction before the steepness.

The terminology has been verified. Russian Russian passnotes do not have an official standard for pronouncing them — the RAF regulates the road book, not what the navigator says — so the vocabulary was checked against the established Russian rally usage.

Which style should I choose
Enthusiast is a 1-6 steepness scale with lengths, shapes, and distances between turns. The detailed reading that most rally players expect.

Casual — easy / medium / difficult, without distance hints. Fewer words, easier to follow if the user is new to notebooks.

Technical notes
This is an audio package running on the game's own English linker, so the command order, timing, and speed scaling remain exactly as the developers set them up — only the voice changes.

OGG Vorbis, uniform volume throughout the package, with the length of each clip recorded in metadata so that the navigator's advance is correct.

Russian Russian navigator's name and language follow the user's game language — "Mikhail (Russian)" in English, "Mikhail (Russian)" in Russian — through three new localization keys of their own. Nothing in the game is overwritten.

No game file is replaced, and no path conflicts with other mods.

Known limitations
The Pro style is not covered. These packages are whole lines of notes pre-recorded for each special stage, rather than assembled from a set of phrases, so Russian Voice Pro would mean a separate recording for each special stage (735 lines for 15 special stages supplied with the game).

If the game update changes the navigator's set of phrases, the package will require an update.

Requirements
