Yes, I use a Razer Tartarus, and it's a nice addition to my VR simpit. Using the software would be best, yes. Open Razer Synapse, select the tartarus and start binding the buttons. I find it best to bind the buttons to joystick buttons 1 through 24 instead of keyboard keys. That way they do not interfere with any keyboard bindings you may have set. Costumize it, hit save, and you should be able to bind the Tartarus to DCS control settings right away.

EDIT - I am an idiot - simple error on my side.

Excellent! That did it. Thanks for your help!

No, there is no kneeboard command in the VA profile. Only in the Viacom editor.

I have voice trained the word. When I run speech recognition and Viacom at the same time, I can see that speech recognition hears me say "kneeboard" with 90% certainty every single time. Viacom however doesn't recognise it. It thinks I'm calling 'Boar' or sometimes 'port' and it asks for additional input. So if the speech recognition knows what I'm saying but the function is not activating, could the problem be in the license activation? If I didn't have the license for the kneeboard DLC and I said "kneeboard", this is what you would expect to happen, I'd think? I am however sure that I activated the license. I'm interrested what the 'kneeboard' DCS control command does, I won't be able to test it myself today.

I meant the VA profile list. However, I just did another clean install of both VoiceAttack and Viacom, this time also deleting any files remaining in my user/appdata/roaming/voiceattack folder, which I did not do last time. After reinstalling both VA and Viacom, the realistic ATC finally seems to work - it now recognises any ATC related comms such as ball and see you at ten. This part of the problem is solved! I still however can't get the kneeboard to work. It just doesn't recognise the word. I would be more than happy to just bind it to a key. There are instructions in the manual for this, but I'm not having any luck, I'm not sure if the instructions in the manual are meant to show and hide the kneeboard, or just to browse between tabs on the kneeboard. Is there a foolproof way to bind the show/hide function of the keyboard to a key or button?

I've been a happy user of Viacom for quite some time, it has worked like a charm. Only now that I have bought 'Realistic ATC' and 'Kneeboard', I'm having trouble. Viacom just will not recognise any phrases that are related to the DLC. See you at ten, ball, clara, kneeboard... It doesn't recognise the words and (therefor) it doesn't do anything. When I set an alternative word for "kneeboard" it doesn't recognise that either. I have tested it and Windows speech recognition on the other hand is 95% certain that I'm saying kneeboard, for example. I have completely deleted Viacom and reinstalled it, activating the licenses again, but the problem persists. I'm not seeing the commands for the DLC in the commands list either, except for kneeboard. Both Voice Attack and Viacom are up to date. I have not activated VSPX... I'm at a loss since I have checked that all my settings are as described in the manual. What could be the problem?

I use the Oculus rift in combination with Oculus Touch. In the stable release version, I'm able to see my virtual hands in the cockpit when I use the Touch controllers. I'm also able to flip switches etc. Everything works fine. In the open beta, I can only see and use my hands in the menus. As soon as I load a mission and I am in a cockpit (either A-10C or F-18 ) I can no longer see my virtual hands. When I press the trigger I can at least see the cursor/crosshair, but I can not use it to operate switches.

I'm having the very same problem. I'm sure it worked fine untill just a couple of weeks ago....

Ah yes, I forgot about that after almost a year of using the oculus. The TM Cougar is plug and play with the A10C, no fiddling with keybindings. You can attach them to the monitor using poster-stickers... The same type kids use to put posters on their bedroom walls. They will hold just fine and will leave almost no residue when you take them off.

However, if you haven't bought the third monitor yet there's a better investment you can make as far as flightsimming goes (It may seem subjective but I think it'll be hard to find anyone here who disagrees). If you haven't got a trackIR or a similar device, you should definitely invest in one of those. Or google for ED tracker, a device that perfoms the same function but cheaper.

You know you're taking things serious when you're a DCS beginner but already use the TM hotas and a dual screen setup :lol:. I was three years in before I got a similar setup :joystick:. Anyways, to be somewhat helpful: the people who frequent this section of the forums: (https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=96) will likely be able to help you out. Specially in the home cockpit subforum there.

"The A-10C: Stone Shield campaign offers you a variety of challenging missions in which you must not only act as a tank killer, but also operate as a sniper making one shot and one kill engagements." I'm quite sure they mean that there are missions (or maybe just one) where you do not just engage any enemy unit but are required to kill a specific target, and that target only. So, not sniping as in the coward's choice of class in any FPS but as in doing a precision strike with your A-10. I agree with Mikesinn that more info about the campaign would be nice, but I'm sure that other players will have provided that info in a week or so.

I enjoy the quality of the videos also. Very well done! A subject I that I would love to see covered, and have not seen covered anywhere other than in the Maple Flag training campaigns, is system failures. Restarting an engine mid flight. Coping with failing hydraulics, such as how to lower your landing gear. How to land without hydraulics. Knowing what electric systems are tied to which engine so I know what systems I'll be missing when an engine goes out. Maybe cover the most basic warning lights in the cockpit and what to do when they light up. I'm not ashamed to say I'd use this knowledge pretty often... AAA, SAMS and I are well acquainted :smilewink:.

I have this issue too. It's a bit annoying that it's still not fixed after 2 or 3 weeks. I'm sure it's possible to fly the missions solo, but the reason I pay for a campaign is the added immersion. Having three hogs in the parking area not moving because of a bug is a pretty good way to remind you that you are playing a game and break immersion. Here's to hoping it'll be fixed soon!
