480th-BRAVO

I'd like to add my vote to this. Would be super useful and seems like it would be a relatively simple thing to do.

Can't agree with this more! If we could have ToS that would be a massive help!

Thank you for that! Very greatly appreciated!

Also, as a feature request, would it be possible to add an option to switch between magnetic and true heading? I think it was once mentioned as possibly being added into a version update some years ago, but it doesn't look like it made it to the final cut. Many thanks!

Hello, Is it possible to create a static object in an .xml that is selectable? I've got the Nellis nav points add on and have added an additional point for the TACAN station so I can judge radials / DME, but as it's not selectable I can't use the 3D range / bearing display. I can add an object from within Tacview, but then I need to add it each time I load a new file. Maybe I'm just not creating the correct type of object in the .xml? If it's not possible, is this something that could be considered in the future maybe? Many thanks!

MP. The sever I fly on has easy comms OFF (local). It's very bizarre as even if I don't use Vaicom / VA it will still transmit as if it's using easy comms. Biggest issue is with AAR where with the F16 it will xmit over VHF rather than UHF no matter what you do. Even if using the comms menu buttons and regardless if it says AN/ARC 164 or AN/ARC 222 above the menus.

I have the same issue.

I’ve had an issue for a short while whereby if I try to transmit with AI on a multiplayer server I fly on in the F16, it will often transmit over TX2 (comm 2 in the F16) as opposed to TX1 (Comm 1). It doesn’t do it all of the time though. Button bindings are set with separate buttons for both and press to talk and release are set correctly. Mapping button is set to norm. I’m also using the SRS integration in parallel and my flight can hear me talking over comm 1 and then the ‘player voice’ comms across in comm 2. Weirdly if I switch to another frequency on comm 2, but don’t transmit on that, and then transmit on comm 1 then it works fine. As soon as I transmit on comm 2 then it will only transmit on comm 2 until I change that frequency again. It’s like there’s some easy comms thing going on. (Is set to off on the server). Has anyone else had anything similar or might know what’s occurring?

I'd like to say thanks again for an excellent tool! Could I ask if it would be possible to add a keybind for uploading to the jet? It would help for those of us flying in VR to be able to press a button and start the upload process. Many thanks!

Solved. The old version of the control reference doesn't specify the inc / dec amounts for the ehsi. Once I added them it sorted it.

Hello All, I've just started using DCS BIOS and I've got a weird thing happening with the F16 EHSI. If I load into the jet and then adjust the HDG knob inc / dec it works fine. If I adjust the CRS knob at all, then the HDG knob will only increment from that point forwards. I can do this from my Arduino, or from the web-interface. It will do it without even without the Arduino connected at all. It will also do it if I adjust the CRS knob using the mouse. I've tried quitting DCS BIOS and restarting to see if that resolved it, but only quitting DCS and restarting seems to work. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

This is really nice! Thank you for doing this! One problem, for some reason I can't enter comm 1 frequencies greater than 299.75. Once again, many thanks for doing this!

I have also found a compatibility issue with DiCE and Vaicom pro which is described in this thread: When I uninstalled DiCE the issue with the listening being suspended in VAICOM Pro was resolved. Would really be great to be able to have both mods working together!

Solved! OK, so if you click the "Visit VAICOMPRO thread at ED Forums" on the VAICOM Pro panel (as I did) it bring you right here. Well, if you go up one 'level' on the forum and take a look around then there is this thread: Turns out that VAICOM Pro and DiCE have some compatibility issues, so I've binned off DiCE and now all is well! Thanks for all your help!

Without DCS running, it behaves 'normally'. In the image below, DCS is closed, I've then closed and re-opened VA then pressed the PTT button twice. I've checked with the rotary switch in NRML and behaves the same. I've attached the image of the TX1 release showing that the "Shortcut is invoked only when all buttons are released" is ticked. Could it be that the profile is corrupt somehow?

Apologies, I made a typo in the first button press. The release is TX1. The first button press always works. I think there's some confusion because the second button press follows what I described, or at least it does from my point of view (woods for trees maybe...) I'll number the lines as they appear in VA for the second button press (effectively new messages appear at the bottom - simply because as I've typed them it makes more sense to put them in this order...) 1.Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' 2. Listening Resumed 3. -------------------------------------- 4. DCS mission | Georgia 5. Player TLicense entered module F-16C Viper, unit callsign Enfield 11 6. Nearest ATC:Kutaisi. 7. Listening suspended 8. Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 9. -------------------------------------- As you can see line 7 shows the listening being suspended prior to line 8 where the button is being released. I've tried another module (FA18) and it exhibits the same behaviour, but it only does it in mission. It does it in both single player and multiplayer. In the images below, the more recent messages are at the top of the list. If there's any other things that I can grab that might help anyone with diagnosing this, just let me know. Many thanks for your help so far! -Tony

Thanks for your responce Maxsenna. I've just gone through and checked and all that is set as you describe. It's weird because on the VoiceAttack output window on the first button press it lists: Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' Listening Resumed Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' Listening Suspended Which is as you would expect. The second press lists precisely this: Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' Listening Resumed -------------------------------------- DCS mission | Georgia Player TLicense entered module F-16C Viper, unit callsign Enfield 11 Nearest ATC:Kutaisi. Listening suspended Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' -------------------------------------- I'm guessing something has become corrupt somewhere?

Hi. I have a weird thing that's happening whereby if I press my PTT button once, it works fine and I can use commands through VAICOM as per normal. The second time I press it, it goes straight from listening resumed to listening suspended. If I press it a third time, works fine. Fourth time drops through to listening suspended and so on and so on. Every second press of the PTT, it drops through. I must have something set wrong but I've no idea what. Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

I found that the pulse time was too fast. I've just set up a TM Warthog using TARGET, and had exactly the issue you described. I went to the the configuration options for the profile I was using and reduced the key presses per second to 12 and increased the pulse event to 65 and it works perfectly now.

I'm having similar issues. I also found that although VA was identifying commands correctly, they were not activating the correct menu / menu at all in DCS.

Have a weird thing whereby when I "Request NVG" in VA it's re-arming rather than installing the NVGs. In VA with the debug on I'm getting the following: 9:45:18.779 Ground Crew: rearming complete 9:45:03.792 Ground Crew: copy 9:45:02.622 Listening suspended 9:45:02.561 Done. 9:45:02.559 Constructing message... 9:45:02.555 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 9:45:01.871 TX1 | AN/ARC-164: [ Ground Crew ] , [ Request NVG ] 9:45:01.869 Recipient for Crew set by call contents. 9:45:01.868 Have result, identified as command: Request NVG 9:45:01.867 Captured sentence: request nvg 9:45:01.865 Recognized : 'request nvg' 9:44:58.496 Searching called unit FARP in category Crew 9:44:58.494 Matched imported atc. 9:44:58.493 Have result, identified as command: Request NVG 9:44:58.492 Captured sentence: request nvg 9:44:58.489 Recognized : 'request nvg' 9:44:55.286 (awaiting additional input) 9:44:55.285 Matched imported atc. 9:44:55.284 Captured sentence: chief home 9:44:55.279 Recognized : 'chief home' (contains 'chief') 9:44:53.259 (awaiting additional input) 9:44:53.258 Matched imported atc. 9:44:53.257 Have result, identified as importedatcs: Rome 9:44:53.257 Have result, identified as recipient: Rome 9:44:53.255 Captured sentence: rome 9:44:53.112 Recognized : 'rome' 9:44:52.913 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.913 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.913 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.913 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.912 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.912 TX1 | AN/ARC-164 AM 250.900 MHz tuned for ATC unit Adana [AI] 9:44:52.672 Listening resumed 9:44:52.636 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' Is there anyway I can change this to be correct?

Nope. No red icon. :(

Have a new PC and am trying to install VA and Vaicom Pro on it. For some reason though once VA has loaded and the Vaicom Pro 2.5 plugin has initialised, I can't access the control panel with Ctrl+Alt+C. By searching I see a few people have encountered this and someone mentioned cycling the hot key enabled off and back on but I can't find that option in VA? Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

This sorted largely sorted it for me! Thanks Vasilli! I would have spent forever looking for them! I set the sliders, restarted V/A and Vaicom (obvs!) and then repaired DCS (again). Since then it’s working.

Hi Hollywood. Have done the update and verified files but still getting stuck at 10%. Am running Open Beta on steam. Any ideas what my next step should be as I don't know where you're selecting sliders in the custom tab... Thanks!
