Can confirm it. Tested the file and got it back running for now!

On the PG Map I am encountering visible lines that move with the head. They appeared when I was flying ashore over Abu Dhabi I have testesd with different modules and Wheater Presets, the bug appears to be independent from that. So far I have only seen it on the PG map and can´t replicate them in 2D. Using a RTX 3090 with Reverb G2

Ok, so this sounds like the basic functions like talking to wingmen, atc, carrier, jtac or your backseater are all doable without vaicom just using voiceattack. So it basically just made things more comfortable to handle. I am a bit less frustrated now

Sorry if it sounds stupid, but I never used voiceattack without vaicom. So I am wondering what is not possible now with voiceattack without vaicom? I have seen a voiceattack profile for jester which seems to cover most commands including Lantirn. I have also seen a video of somebody doing a jtac nine line with voiceattack solely. Wingman and tanker commands also seem to be possible. I know that vaicom brought some additions like hiding player voice or the jester wheel, but maybe there are workarounds for these. Thanks for your feedback!

Yes it would be great to have a general profile with the stuff that almost all aircraft need. ATC communication, JTAC commands, Wingmen commands, AWACS... I also don´t use voice to flip switches.

I doubt that will happen in a the near future. We need to look for an alternative for now

Thanks a lot, this worked for me to get it back to Vanilla state at least...now on the hunt for an Alternative for Vaicom though

Sad thing is too, that the comms menus are not working now even when Vaicom is not running. Does anybody know how to uninstall it properly?

So Vaicom finally broke with 2.8 The comms menus are not working anymore which renders it impossible to use in the future without Hollywood fixing it (which I guess is not going to happen). Very sad, it was such a good improvement for the game. Any suggestions for an alternative anybody?

I made some testing today. 2x F18 with 4x HARM each against 2x SA15. The capabilities of the SA15 is just beyond believe. In most cases they were able to defend themselves by shooting the HARMS out of the sky and even kill the F18 afterwards. Skill of the SA15 was average, F18 were set to Ace. In other cases the F18 did not destroy the SA15 totally but their radar was out of action, because the HARMS only scored indirect hits. They then let them alone when set to SEAD even though the SA15 is still alive. If the triggers in the missions are just set to total destruction, this might be an issue.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. Regarding the missing calls. It might have to do with the AI not being able to fullfill the needed tasks then. I flew some of the missions 4-5 times, but never received the calls. But I also noticed that HARMS barely hit anything and missed most of the targets by a few meters, so the AI got shot down when trying to use their Mavericks afterwards. Also SA-15 seem to have super sniper skills now, being able to shoot down Mavericks in flight in almost all cases. In case of the unpopulated flight Deck. Yes the other carrier is a SC but other than the default Deck Crew there is nothing attched, no equipment no nothing. It might be preference of mine but for me it takes away some of the immersion. Having a crowded Deck as in reality just gives me this „almost real“ Impression.

Unfortunately I am a bit disappointed with the campaign. I played the 5 first mssions and came to the point where I will stop playing until an hopefull update. Don´t get me wrong, I was really looking forward to the campaign, especially for the harrier. But there are just some issues which made it too frustrating to continue. Positive: The Basic setting, the story is very good. Very realsitic scenario and also the mssions I played so far are tasked well. There are three major negative things though in my opinion: 1. Oftentimes you wait for calls that never come. - Mission 2: I got message to assist SAR for a downed pilot, but nothing else happend, Don´t know if it was just information or if I was tasked to do something? - Mission 3: the go signal was never given, I just went when I thought was the right timing because waiting led to the fact that the Tomcats where already landing when the enemy fighters arrive. - Mission 5: I got order to circle at the IP until futher notice, I did that for 30min until I ran out of fuel, nothing happened 2. Oftentimes the losses on Blue side are staggering. - In Mission 2 the one SA10 site shot down 4-6 Tomcats at least in every try I made. - In Mission 5 all F-18 that should provide SEAD where shot down by one SA15 and manpads because they are flying way too low. After flying there in real time for over an hour, just to find out that you are now alone against a whole array of air defenses with nothing more than a CAS loadout was really bad. 3. A lack of immersion and detail: Especially when flying VR, the small details make the difference. - For example: in some missions you have some personnel and aircraft on the deck, in some it is completely empty. Same goes for the other carrier. It is nothing that is really complicated to do, but flying of a completely empty deck with no crew, no equipment etc. is unrealsitic and also kills the immersion. - The first mission had a TOTE Board text message, havent seen that afterwards. Especially for the harrier this is important. - The timings are off, starting from cold and dark at 7:30 and being tasked to be at WP1 in 30nm distance 2 minutes later is just not doable. I really think that the basis for a great campaign is there, because setting and mission ideas are great but at the moment I think it need an overhaul to be enjoyable.

No, the brightness swich is still not working. Nothing fixed in the latest patch.

Hallo John, I can Imagine that it is hard to get criticized for something that took a lot of work. What I really appreciate is your response and open mind to that. So I am going to buy the campaign anyhow because I am sure things that are not perfect yet will get sorted out in the future

The problem is discribed here: Unfortunately the bug came with update 2.7.10.19473 and has not been fixed since then. I have stopped flying the A10 as I can´t use it in VR anymore in current state.

The sad thing is, it is not even a real bug or missing feature. It is a function that was already implemented and has suddenly disappeared. For me making it impossible to use in VR.

Well with the still broken Brightness Switch of the MFDS they would be hard to accomplish.

Yes, but the Solution only works for day missions. Because we have another bug that prevents from adjusting the display brightness now. So in night missions the maverick screen is just a blinding white square due to the now mostly white background, without the possibility to dim it down. So for night missions the maverick is unusable due to the combination of these two bugs.

Yeah thanks it does, I had to make the Maverick SOI. But nevertheless, the Maverick Seeker should show WHOT and not BHOT, as this is how it is in reality and was before the patch.

Hello, maybe this is in connection to the new FLIR mixed up of BHOT and WHOT. But now the Maverick IIR display is also switched from WHOT to BHOT. As there is no switch to change it, in opposite to the TGP, the Maverick is now unusable. You just can´t see the targeting cross anymore because it is also white and it does not seperate from the white background. Hope it will be fixed soon as there is no workaround that I know of.
