Great, thanks for that!

Hi, VoiceAttack has just moved to 64 bit with its 1.8.8 version - does anyone know if VAICOM is compatible with the 64 bit version?

Well, would you believe it? I have been messing around with this all day and had given up trying. I decided to have a quick fly around after dinner and... New theatre ATCs were found : the database was updated. A quick Finish procedure and all the ATCs are now in place! 30 years in IT and it never ceases to amaze me!

It says, Adding 0 imported ATC Aliass. I added a screenshot of the Log.

I am having a similar issue getting the Syria keywords to import. I have tried toggling the 'Auto Import New Theatres' check box but this does not seem to do the trick. The Channel map does seem to have imported though! Like Weegie, I will wait for the next profile update, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case there is something different about the way Uggra have done the Syria map.

Minor issue I know, but I thought I would report it anyway... Logbook stats for the P47 are not being recorded. All my stats are zero even though I have been flying it for a good few hours.

It is so they can implement the ground radar in aircraft that support it (early release of this in the F18 in the last update). I suspect they are adding this feature to all the maps and once it is functional enough they can then do an optimisation pass on all the terrains.

No worries BIGNEWY, it is early days in the map's life (for us anyway!).

More testing was done last night on this issue. I am beginning to believe that my issue is due to the English Channel map and Nvidia RTX Voice not playing nicely together. Possibly due to the high VRAM usage and heavy GPU load that the map demands causing conflict with RTX Voice. I notcied that RTX Voice was crashing at some points when the map was running. Once RTX Voice crashed then performance would stabilise. If I restart RTX Voice while the map is running then things seem to be OK. I had forgotten about RTX Voice. I have had it installed for quite a few months and it has never cause any issues with any games or apps (and it works very well for noise reduction). I'll do more testing today, but I am pretty convinced that the combination of the English Channel Map and RTX Voice is not a happy marriage.

OK. so I have a solution to this problem of everything going crazy and GForce Experience recording (shdowplay) not working... I run two screens (DCS is only on my main screen, the other just shows windows stuff). When the system goes crazy after a few minutes/couple of hours or when I hit the record button for GFE on this map all I have to do is click on the second screen. Everything flickers for a second, but then DCS stabilizes and I get stable framerates (50-100 depending) for the rest of my session. I can also start and stop GFE Record as many times as I like and everything is good. I only have to do this on this map in DCS. I have never experienced this before on any other map or any other game. I ran a few games last night just in case it wasn't something that had suddenly changed in my setup and they all ran fine. I also tested every other map in DCS and they also worked fine. It's a weird one, but at least I have a solution of sorts now!

Hi, I am getting wild FPS fluctuations in the new English Channel Map. I will launch the same mission and will get 50-90 fps on one run and then 15-30 fps on another run. Also, more confusing is, once in a while everything just goes a bit crazy and suddenly all virtual processors start dancing around between 2 and 4 Ghz with wild varying loads across the 12 virtual processors (normally they are all running steady at 4.2 Ghz with processor 0 at 100% load), GPU usage locks at 100% (although the card itself doesn't seem to be being taxed). FPS drops to around 9 FPS. A similar thing happens if I use GForce Experience to record the play. Hitting record has the effect mentioned above and even after stopping the recording things do not recover. Observations : VRAM (8Gb) is constantly full when running the map. Physical Memory (16Gb) is usually around 98% full when running the map. The crazyness is slightly reduced if I am not running in full screen mode. It does not do this all the time sometimes I can fly for a couple of hours on this map with no issues at all. It doesn't seem to matter which plane I fly. Recording play using Gforce Experience does not affect other maps (1 - 2 FPS hit at most usually). No other maps are affected by this sudden crazyness. I have mostly been using the attached mission to test, but it also happens in the instant action missions and regardless of what I put on the map. A log file is attached. So far this morning it hasn't randomly gone crazy, so I hit GForce Experience Record at 11:43 (log time) at which point my FPS went from about 80 fps to around 9fps. Only a restart of DCS allows recovery from this situation whether forced by a record or when it randomly happens. Lastly, I unserstand this is in early access so I know there will be issues. My post isn't a moan, but hopefully will help pinpoint general problems. It would also be interesting to see if anyone else was having similar issues. Jedra - P47 Test.miz dcs.zip

Hi. No, it is correctly identifying Stennis and says it is tuning to Stennis, but it actually tunes to Rooosevelt. It is not a big issue as I generally tune the specific TACAN.

I suspect this may be an F14B thing. It doesn't use the Comms menu to salute but the salute key stroke (SHIFT-U I believe). Salute with VAICOM works in my FA-18, I will check the F14 now. EDIT : Yeah, you still need to press SHIFT-U to launch in the TomCat.

You need to do a DCS Repair after you have set the sliders as they should be.

Hi, I have a small issue in the F14B with the radio calls for TACAN. If I have both the Stennis and the Theodore R on the map (different TACAN stations) and make the call 'TACAN Tune Stennis'. The RIO tunes the TACAN to the Theodore R and not the Stennis. It is not a huge issue as I can get him to tune correctly by calling the station numbers (TACAN Tune X-Ray 027 or X-Ray 011). On a related note will we be able to call the ship names in future releases? EDIT : I have VA Licenced, VAICOM Pro and all plugins licenced and installed!
