  1. Hi guys: I don't know if this proper thread to reach out for guidance but, here it goes. I'm new to DCS-Bios and, I've got a problem loading the latest version. I received my new TekCreations F18 UFC last month and, as instructed, I downloaded DCS-Bios and configured it accordingly. Everything was working perfectly. However, after loading the latest DCS update, it all went to hell in a handbasket. TC support has been really responsive but, I when I checked on my DCS-Bios config I found I could no longer access the DCS-Bios Hub to verify my plugins and connection (see attached screen snip). I could really use some help to get this program back up and running. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
  2. An external Pilot Salute view is an excellent idea. And with Vaicom and Voice Attack you can map the salute command to whatever floats your boat or, in this case, whatever gets you off the boat. For me: "I'm Going Downtown".
  3. Yeah Impalor, the Window's speach engine doesn't play nice with Bailey's profile or, for that matter - others. However, since I 'm into the tactile feel of buttons and switches on my TM Cougar MFD's and F/A-18 Stick along with the WinWing Super Taurus Throttle setup, I only use VCP/VA for comms. All-in-all, after you train it up for voice recognition, its a great sense of immersion.
  4. And BTW Greyman, VCP is a VC plugin- so you need Voice Attack to run it. And correction on my last - it's AIRIO and, not Aero. I'm exclusively a Hornet driver and not a Tomcat guy.
  5. My bad Greyman. You're absolutely right. Bailey's mod is a Voice Attack Profile. What I was trying to pass along, without getting into the weeds, is that Vaicom affords seamless PTT functionality without having to deal with menus - which I believe was Sambuca's interest. To cut to the chase. Get Vaicom Pro, download a suitable Voice Attack Profile, add your own custom commands if you like and, you're good to go. I've been using VCP for about two years now and, IMHO, it's a must have. And definitely consider the Chatter and Aero packs as well.
  6. With Vaicom Pro you can create your own unique profiles based on a module's comm menus. But to take it to the next level, I suggest you look into Bailey's F18 Vaicom Pro Mod. He's got everything in it, including voice activated commands for avionics and weapons. I think he's even mapped one for a piddle pack (sic). He's got a YouTube video showcasing his mod as well. Fly safe and healthy and, don't soil your flight suit.
  7. A fantastic piece of work lee1hy. Any thoughts on adding a Marine skin to your livery set? I'd love to get a VMFA-314 Black Knights rendition of this. In any event - its mind blowing. We've come a long way since Jane's F/A-18. Keep up the excellent work. And I agree - ED should put you on its payroll - like yesterday.
  8. Thanks forgetting back to me BIGNEWY. Will do. I'll head to the multimonitor section and post my issue as suggested. Stay safe and healthy.
  9. Thanks for the explaination BIGNEWY. I'm getting the same warning, and thought it was a bug in the 2.5.6 OB. BTW. I have another problem that I've been trying to troubleshoot. I have a 4 screen layout (34" main monitor, 32" second monitor and, 2x 8" and 7" Touchscreen displays, respectively). My second monitor is dedicated to HELIOS instrument exports and, L&R MFD's and AMPCD Viewports. While, I'm able to open my HELIOS profile for instrument display, my MFD's & AMPCD are not loading to the second monitor. This is only happening with the 2.5.6 OB as, all my exports (HELIOS & Viewports) render perfectly in the 2.5 Stable version. Maybe this is not the appropriate thread for this issue but, I thought that as you are an ED Community Manager you may be privy to this issue in the OB.
  10. Hi Hornblower. I'm Golden. Followed your instructions and, after a number of test flights with full comms, I'm now back in business As it turned out, I already had Skatezilla's app so it was no problem doing the repair. However, like the last time I put it in motion, it broke my HELIOS setup. Fortunately I backed up my lua files. Since I'm also in lock down, I'll start the scratchpad & kneeboard build tomorrow. In closing, thanks a bunch for your help. Will keep you abreast of developments. Have a good one. Mike
  11. Don't know how that smirking smiley mug got in there. Gremlins - I swear. My dedicated Aircraft is the F-18.
  12. Hornblower and MAXstenna - "I'm Back". Got VCP working with DCS for a few seconds before it ceased taking commands. No recognition whatsoever, with the exception of the audio cues upon Hotas PTT Hat switching. Also, note that, similar to Lt. Spoon, I've haven't been able to get the Config window to show my A/C (F18) while in game or, out. Something is wrong, somewhere - probably DCS. Again, I'm running DCS's Stable V 2.5.5.41371. I've been going back and forth all day in the VA and VCP manuals, as well as, YT vids, VA and Vaicom forums and Acord sites. No joy. I'm feeling like I need a compass, map, Boy Scout and, a seeing eye dog to lead me out of this maze. HELP - would, again, be appreciated. BTW Hornblower thanks for Scratchpad link and your profile. I plan on moving forward on that project as soon as I get this glitch fixed. Thanks for your continued support.
  13. Hi Lt. I've been afflicted with the same problem for sometime now. In fact, my config window doesn't even show my go to module (F/A-18), although I have it mapped accordingly. Now that I've sorted out a number of other VA and VCP issues, I'll be doing a deep dive into this. If and when I figure it out, I'll pass along my findings. Also look to MAXStenna and Hornblower793 for helpful advice. They are the best. Hang in there and, stay safe. Mike
  14. Hornblower, Here's another pic with the MFD's displayed.
