Hello all,
I have been having intermittent problems when attempting to use VAICOM PRO AIRIO in multiplayer, although it occasionally also happens in single player (very very rare).
Preliminaries at the time of the post:
DCS Open Beta Build 2.5.5.33184 Special settings are as instructed in the VAICOM manual.
SRS Build 1.6.1.0
Voice Attack Build 1.7.5
VAICOM Build 2.5.11.1-- Installed following the instructions in the newest version of the manual
I think the two problems may be unrelated.
The first being commands such as "Radio Tune" are met with "AIRIO recipient not available" or some such. Restarting everything (DCS, SRS and VA) usually solves it. If that fails, deleting the scripts folder will definitely fix it.
When the real gremlin attacks Commands such as "Radar mode" "Go Standby" "Map Marker X to X" somehow get transposed and execute a completely different command. After commanding AIRIO to go standby I receive confirmation and notification on screen saying that the command is accepted, followed by Jester saying "okay". This is where it gets insidious, it appears that this does indeed make Jester turn the Radar to standby. However, any subsequent commands issued are not remotely what I asked for. Attempting to switch Radar modes results in Jester going ground stab. And even worse because the commands are transposed it is impossible to return the Radar to active.
Now again this doesn't happen all of the time, just 2/3s of the time.
It is in times like these I wish I could fall back to the rose-wheel to at least not have to land and be completely useless.
Below is my log from the session where these symptoms took place.
