Hi Hollywood_315 - Is there a checklist for initiating VAIcom from start , finishing with "Start Mission " ? If so, does this checklist, incorporating the various DCS airframe profiles, assume voice recognition has been completed ? For those that cannot speak, would a pre-packaged voice such as Astra and others be able to use the loaded profiles and activate the flaps , gear, bypassing the ATC F5 menu etc. ? Thanks !!
