Hey Hollywood
First of all thank you for this amazing enhancement to DCS.
I think everyone who has fiddled around with Voice Attack can appreciate the massive amount of work that has gone into Vaicom.
I have been messing around with Vaicom for a few weeks and have unfortunately encountered most of the common problems.
However, after combing through this thread and the manual numerous times I have been able to solve most of them. I strongly urge other users to read this thread thorougly before complaining about this and that. They will most likely find the answer there.
These are the problems I've had:
-The URI error.....Fixed. I'm on 1.5b and corrected the cmd.
-Invalid radio.....Fixed. I had originally dowloaded the latest VA beta. Re-installing the current release version solved that problem.
-Auto hotkey PTT....Never really got that working, but fortunately the latest VA release makes this irrelevant.
-TrackIR interference.....Fixed. I have deleted and/or changed every possible key command I can think of that might screw up Vaicom.
-Non-US international keyboard....Fixed (I think ). I have re-assigned "\" to OEM102 in both DCS and the two lines in Menu_Execute.
However.....after all this I am still not able to get it to to work properly
The time has come to ask for help.
1) I'm stuck with the changing-to-external-view-problem
My voice commands are recognized in VA, but not in DCS (at least not in the way they are supposed to be recognized)
-Yes, I am using Whartsell's VAC ATC Menu Mod 1.0 via JSGME
-Yes, I am holding the PTT-key until the command is properly recognized.
No response from ATC....just the changing of view.
I have read somewhere that double clicking recognized commands in the VA log should display the actual command sent to DCS, thereby enabling me to analyzed/troubleshoot. However, I get nothing when i double click.
2) My PTT press and release does not work on my TMWH. I use button no. 1 on the stick.
I suspect this is due to the fact that I am currently on the VA 1.5.8 which for some reason does not have the tick box 'shortcut is invoked....'
Installing the beta version could supposedly solve this, but as mentioned earlier, I've had more serious problems with the beta and apparently I am not the only one.
For now I am stuck using the NUM1 mapped to my Tartarus as PTT.
A little general info on my setup:
-TMWH extended stick (no active Target profile)
-X55 Rhino Throttle (no active HUD profile)
-Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals
-TrackIR5
-Razer Tartarus
-DK keyboard
-DCS 1.5b (and 2.0a but I haven't even started to work on that)
-JSGME 2.6.0.157
-VA 1.5.8
-Vaicom 2.0
-UH-1H Vaicom profile
Your help is greatly appreciated
