Hi folks, I have this little problem with Vaicom Pro: So far I have always flown with simple radio, but for the EF & RF missions of Sedlo for the Viper I had to switch to realistic radio. That worked so far - I also set the radio in the Vaicom menu to realisitic radio. But now I notice that my VHF radio does not work on my wingman. Vaicom recognizes my command, but the wingman does not react. By chance I found out that I first have to call the VHF radio menu via RAlt # (and to close it with RAlt # again). If this happens once, my wingman reacts to my spoken commands. Is this due to the Viper module, or do I still have to change something in my setting? Thx in advance!

I also have many modules, but unfortunately I don't have much time either. Therefore it is more difficult for me to learn how to fly in well developed aircraft. With the Viper I am happy to learn everything since the first lesson and to master what is currently available as far as possible (for my requirements). What is there is more than enough to have a lot of fun. Air combat works great and there is already a good basic selection of air-to-ground weapons. Only the damage model is still very rudimentary, but that doesn't bother me so much, especially since it's important to avoid damage. :music_whistling:

Nope, that has not been the reason. An open refueling bay door leads to a strange flight behavior already at way lower speeds... The bay has been closed while the shaking startet beyond Mach 1.0

Thanks - I didn't notice that with the abundance of threads. That gives the Russians a few more seconds of their lives :music_whistling:

Yesterday I flew Eastern Friendship Mission 3. On the hunt for the MiG29 I flew with a full afterburner at about 20,000 feet. Somewhere at Mach 1.06 my elevators started to oscillate, the whole plane went dangerously up and down. At first I thought it was the autopilot that was overcorrecting. Another approach to Mach 1.06 brought the same phenomenon without autopilot. As soon as I took out the throttle and reduced the speed, the swinging stopped again. My payload was 2 tanks, 4 AIM 120 and 2 AIM 9. Is that what is supposed to happen? Does the F-16 do the same in real life? It certainly didn't look very healthy for the plane...

Ahhhh! Now I got it! Thanks a lot!!

Thx- in this way I can change the preset manually - I have been aware of that. What I am looking for is am automatic adaption of the preset to my radio. For now I have to do the following steps: 1) Select preset frequency (by clicking rocker switch or entering preset number in scratchpad) 2) read preset frequency, e.g. 123.45 3) enter frequency 123.45 to my radio via scratchpad Instead of 3) I would like to have that preset automatically been selected in my radio. Is that a feature I am just not aware of, or is it not possible / WIP?

I'll join you right here with a question: With the rocker switch I can switch between the presets. However, I always have to enter the frequency manually. Is it also possible to adopt the displayed preset frequency?

Not only the canopy is open, but he is wearing a helmet with headset what reduces the noise significantly for the pilot. The video is shot by a camera without noise reduction. Being in a sim, you have a simulated helmet and therefore noise protection.

Thanks Yurgon - it seems I have missed that thread... Sorry for posting the info a second time.

Interesting: Even a pod with ground radar! Would it not be hilarious, if DCS could implement that before the US Air Force :megalol: Just dreaming....

Is it only while chasing a plane? Than it could be wake turbulence. Check, if you have this option activated. I flew the BF109 yesterday the 1st time for a long period and have been also surprised by sudden nose movements due to wake turbulences, when crossing the slip stream of another plane. But I do like that feature - brings it even closer to real life...

I had the same problems. It was due to a loose contact of the cable. Since I was still under warranty, I returned the Rift and received a replacement within a few days. Since then there are no more black outs.

Really? Never heard of something like that. You are dropping with CCRP, that means the bomb is released exakt at the point, where the flight curve of the bomb will hit the target. The laser makes it way more precise due to guiding the bomb to the target, but until the laser turns on it is a flight parable of an unguided CCRP bomb which ends up at the target. So the bomb shouldnt fly way over the target

Like Sandman said, check if the laser is firing 10 secs before impact. It fires, when the "L" is in the TGP is flashing. If not, check if you have chosen CCRP, Auto Laser, 10 secs via the weapons main menu. I have made the mistake earlier, that I have chosen the GBU12 manually and changed the settings. Selecting other weapons or going to NAV mode resulted in a loss of the settings, everthing went back to CCIP. So when selecting the GBU, please have a look, if the settings are the same like you have set them before.

Hey Peter, I had to smile a lot at your post. My setup: TM Hotas + CH Pedals + Private Pilot License. I'm also thinking about investing in the TM pedals. However, I seem to be one step ahead of you: Oculus Rift. I strongly advise you to buy Rift / VR glasses before you invest in new pedals. After flying myself and using TrackIR before, this is a leap from 80% reality to 99%. You can't imagine how unbelievable the feeling of flying is when you are flying in three-dimensional space with 1:1 head tracking. Everything looks so incredibly real in 3D that after the first loops you feel really sick. Then VoiceAttack + Vaicom Pro and you'll actually be transmitting like in a real aviator. Believe me, you will be grateful to me for a long time, if you first have a Rift on. But I warn you, after that there is no way back into the 2D world, ask the other Rift users. It is a one-way street... :pilotfly: Cheers, MadMonty

I agree with you that Easy Comms off is more realistic. However, Easy Comms works completely without errors for me, so anyone who wants to make life easier can use it with pleasure. I also have the solution for color marking in the Comms menu. All stations whose frequency is set correctly are displayed in white. All other stations are dark grey. Nevertheless, using Easy Comms I can also select the dark grey ones via the F-keys or by mouse click. Easy Comms then does nothing but set the frequency accordingly. If I call up the Comms menu again, this station is also white.

Problem resolved - just had to Set my audio playback device in windows to the Rift Headset as default! Thanks to all those involved.

Ok, I was able to narrow down the problem now. it's in fact that if i start DCS without VR, the noise is audible. If I start with VR, the sound output of VA seems to be suppressed by Oculus. Even a change to the beta version of Oculus didn't help. Does anyone have experience with the problem?

No coil whines of my pc. I wonder if it has something to do with Oculus home - maybe it prevents audio input from a second programm?

Notifications sounds on/off do not resolve the problem. I figured out, that I can hear the noise (squelsh) being at the windows-desktop or even in Oculus home. But as soon as I start DCS (no matter from desktop or Oculus) the noise from pressing the PTT is gone. Any ideas?

I have updated my Voiceattack to 2.5.7. If I now press the push-to-talk button, the noise has changed a bit when pressing and releasing the button, so far so good. But I don't hear this noise in DCS anymore, it seems like the sound of VA is suppressed in DCS. I have all settings according to the manual of VA and all sounds in DCS set to 50%. It's not that the noise is quiet, it's definitely not there. When I quit DCS and am in Windows, I can hear the noise again by pressing / releasing the PTT button. After I play VR, I miss the acoustic feedback that the button is pressed. Does anyone have any idea of what might be the reason? Cheers, MadMonty

No, it has been another mod. But luckily I could find it meanwhile: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=172910

After playing DCS in VR, I find the cockpit lettering of the A10C a bit too small. I remember that once there was a MOD where the cockpit lettering was enlarged. But unfortunately I can't find this mod via google or here in the forum. Does it still exist?

I dedusted my PC during the Christmas break and updated to VA 2.5.7. So far there was always a louder noise, if I had pressed my transmission button. Now it is hardly to be heard any more. How can I get the sound or the noise louder, find it helpful with VR to hear that I hold the right key pressed...!? Many thanks in advance!
