Thanks Max. So, I followed all of those instructions, but still no luck. I am in IT, so this isn't something that is very difficult (meaning, I am pretty certain I follewed the steps correctly). I have attached a screenshot of the VA log. As you can see, it recognizes the request and issues the command, but DCS is not receiving it.
Also, oddly, I mapped "Communication Menu" to my HOTAS Throttle, but nothing comes up when I press it. It seems as though something is blocking communications with the AI.
I would appreciate any help on this!
