I am having the same issue. I cannot find where I would put in a custom path? is that in DCS? Voice attack? I have dcs on a second drive and have no registry entry as you show... Mike

Thank you. Can you point me to the source for Skatezilla's excellent GUI Updater/Launcher Utility? Found it LOL Skatezilla's DCS Updater Utility GUI - Flight Sims - Mudspike Forums Skatezilla's DCS Updater Utility GUI Mike

I have VAICOM and VoiceAttack working together, and chose PTT buttons that are reliable. (The little hat switch on the Throttle is a bit twitchy.) VoiceAttack recognized my speech but nothing happens in DCS. I found the trouble shooting page and need to try again tomorrow and 1. Delete the Export.IUA file in save games and 2. Set Custom Path (because Module Not Shown in PTT page. I wish I saw this before shutting down my computer for the night. Oh well. Once I get this working, I can work on combining SRS with it. Mike

I have LOTS of buttons, the MDF I use for the EHSI has MANY unused buttons LOL. And the two other MDF's have unused black buttons between the gray ones. so lots of buttons. I just was trying to keep the comm PTT buttons on the throttle for more realism. This will take some trial and error but I wanted to maintain the simulation of "Choosing" the comm with the physical ICP buttons and then PTT with SRS to talk to humans, and perhaps configure PTT for VAICOM commands for the AI using the other rudder button but set it to TX4. That might be perfect. Great suggestion. I'll reread the manual again. Thank you so much for your help. Mike

I have VAICOM Pro installed and installed the plug in. I have not tested it all yet. LOL as I wanted to spend time reading the VAICOM instructions PDF and absorbing it. (As an aside when I tried to boot my windows machine it would not boot, spent an hour trouble shooting it and finally recalled what I did last time. Long story short, the old Windows 10 Hard Drive is permanently unplugged. Drove me nuts as even my Windows 11 Thumb drive would not let me reboot.....happened before ? 2 months ago, but forgot what the 'fix was' from last time. Some problem on the Master boot record on the old Windows 10 Drive I suspect. Anyway that should not happen again.) So, questions.... I am trying to wrap my head around the TX1, TX2, etc commands. I have the WinWing 16 ICP controller so I have the UHS/VHS buttons on it. And I have been using a Push To Talk for SRS (rudder button on the throttle) to speak on SRS. The VAICOM instructions talk about mapping a button to TX1, TX2, TX3 etc for UHS, VHS, other radio (F16 has just two), as PTT buttons. I would rather have the radio selection be done but the physical button on the ICP and then use the PTT button I currently use with VAICOM as well rather than have TWO different PTT buttons (But can use each of the rudder buttons on the throttle if needed). Am I reading this correctly??? Does the Tx1 mapping 1. select the UHF Radio and 2. act as the PTT button in one step? Thank you, Mike

Found it LOL. I had read about this before, but lost track of the source......thank you. Going the MSI way I guess...... Penecruz/Vaicompro-community. Mike...

Tried to find a source for Vaicom and got some odd responses to a search (typed it wrong I guess) LOL. will search the other thread. thank you very much. Mike

looking into Vaicom...... found this....and got a headache. LOL. Mike Backup your current VAICOMPRO folder found in your VoiceAttack/Apps folder. Backup your current VoiceAttack profile by clicking “More Profile Actions” (button right of the edit in VoiceAttack) and exporting your profile to a known location. Delete the VAICOMPRO folder in your VoiceAttack/Apps folder. Launch VoiceAttack and exit VoiceAttack. Unzip the contents of the zip file and move the VAICOMPRO folder into your VoiceAttack/Apps folder or run the msi installer. Launch VoiceAttack and exit VoiceAttack. This generates the necessary file structure within the VAICOMPRO folder. If using the msi installer, drag the AIRIO and CHATTER dll files to the VAICOMPRO/Extensions folder. If you wish to restore your VAICOM settings, copy your backed up Config folder to your new VAICOMPRO folder in VoiceAttack/Apps. Your profile should remain in VoiceAttack as it is stored in the VoiceAttack.dat file. If your profile somehow gets changed, import your backed up profile. Launch VoiceAttack and launch the VAICOM config menu (L CTRL+L ALT+C) and open the “Config” tab. If this does not work, check your VoiceAttack profile and ensure the command “Configuration” exists and is enabled with the proper shortcut. Check Fix Reg and move the sliders to match your DCS World version (i. e. openbeta / standalone). Next to “Use Custom DCS Path” click the SET button and direct it to your DCS World install folder (i. e. Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World OpenBeta). Open the “Reset” tab and uncheck all of the boxes. Check only the “Lua code” box and click “Master Zero”. Restart VoiceAttack and check the log that comes up, to make sure it finds your DCS 2.8 installation

Thanks, I'll look at that next. I use SRS already. that works great too.

I have set up Voice Attack and got it programed for such things commands to wingmen and such. I was wounding if the Communication with the AWAC actually works for things like "Vector to home plate" and such, or only on certain servers? I was running the Mission "Coiled Viper" and it did not work. However, rejoin, echelon left, engage bogey, attack my target, and such worked FRIGGEN GREAT. Voice Attack....$10.00 bargain. Mike

This sim is too much fun. I am actually progressing from really <profanity>ty to piss poor at it, but having fun. I am learning how to control the AI wingmen. My newest hardware piece arrive Wednesday, the WinWing PTO 2 panel. Today I am going to begin to figure out how to use "Voice Attack." Only problem is today I have to spend some time 1. at Watkins Glenn (drive the track opening day event) and 2. Doing F(*&)(*& Taxes. Mike

Not my imagination, the server was changed. Guns only. Mike

You know I tried that ,maybe I should have waited longer...oh well next time thanks for the input. Mike

Thank you.....I was parked in front of one of the hangers....perhaps not off the runway enough. :0 I'll get it worked out. It was tricky moving around with two flat tires LOL. Mike

Oddest thing (or is this a normal event) I was on the Growling Sidewinder Server last night and could not load any missiles of any type. Just Machine Gun ammo and flares/chaff. Is that something normal on Sunday night Machine Guns Only Event?? Mike

I learn more EVERY day on this . I was on the Growling Sidewinder server and they have a link to their server TacView Files. Found it from yesterday. Downloaded and reviewed. Yes I was killed by Friendly Fire a few times LOL. as I suspected. Mike

Found it...."Lock Line" by wingman..... Mike

Found it....save and play back the TRK file and can record data to Tacview from that. LOL. Kinda Convoluted but gets around the blocked data??? Oddly enough, have to try it out. Mike

Hello I am trying to use tacview to figure out who is shooting me down. The result is only my plane gets recorded. Is there some setting I’m missing for multiplayer or is it server dependent. Mike

What is the dashed line and the number on that plane? (number one, blue) Mike

I tried shutting down the plane, still no go.... was on Friendly base Not dead....I was in plane doing stuff, etc. I'll try it again next time. Yes, I saw that there were slots called "HOT" is that it??? Mike

Hello, I was wondering if "Request repair" is just disabled or do you have to be in a particular set up to allow for repair? I blew a couple tires on landing and wanted to just get back up after rearming, but "Request repair" was yield "Unable to comply." Also at one air strip the plane was already up and running, while at another I had to start from cold. Is that some Multi player server setting? Preference? Not a big deal, auto start works, but thought it was odd that I was already up and running when I spawned in at one base but not the next. Thank you, Mike

Thank you very much. I figured it was the weight. But had to consider an "update" in the model since 4 years ago. Mike

I have watched the Grim Reaper Video several times, Cap does ILS landing, but is able to fly at 135 to 140 nts. If I try going much below 200 the plane drops too quickly. Was that video made with zero weapons and fuel tanks? I have been practicing with a couple extra fuel tanks. Maybe the extra weight required faster flight speed???? Or was there an adjustment to the F16's sim characteristics? Just wondering... Mike

That’s next!! Then carrier landing Set up helps. Can’t imaging just using mouse and keyboard.
