I would like to change the AOCS voice readback as it's a little robotic. I have changed the default text-to-speech voice but it's not kicking in with the VAICOM DCS profile. I did a test with another profile in Voice Attack with one of the Cereproc voices which worked fine reading back a command. Not sure if this is possible with VAICOM? Is AOCS a pre-recorded sound file?

Disable Menus was not ticked anyway, but looks like I can use NORM fine the same way I wanted instead of SNGL - thanks for your help.

That's awesome will give that a try

I cannot get AOCS to read the mission briefing in SNGL mode, it only works in NORM mode, is this a bug? The screenshot shows "TX1 | SEL/AUTO: [ AOCS ] , [ Read Mission Briefing ]" as the last call at the top, so it knows what it should be doing. But nothing was read out loud, in the bottom half of the screen (last 8 lines) I was testing with NORM which did read it out loud. The log reads from oldest entry at bottom to newest at top. I need to use SNGL only as I prefer to use normal DCS mic buttons to select radios and have the DCS comms menu open at the same time so I can see what things I can say (at least while I am learning both DCS & VAICOM)

It's taken me a few hours but I have a solution. I had to make axis range 0%-96% (NOT 97%, 98% or 99%) activate a button which I mapped to aft speed brake, and 100% axis range activate another button which i mapped to forward speed brake. Seems like 97% and higher on the first button was too close to 100% which was causing issues with DCS separating the two buttons. Phew, that's great as I can have the same assignments as MSFS and reduce the mental workload between aircraft

In case anyone else has found difficulty finding out what the Hack function does and how to use it: Hack is a Countdown Timer, and to use it you have to do the following:- On the UFC click HACK, enter a time e.g. 25 (seconds), press HACK, then press ENTER then ENTER again. It will start counting down from the moment you first pressed HACK, this allows multiple pilots to press Hack at the same time and if they each take different times to enter their keystrokes it does not matter - if you take 4 seconds to complete the above, the countdown will show 21 seconds initially. Once it reaches zero it will count down into negatives. Press HACK again to clear the countdown which reverts to showing the Time which is otherwise masked by the countdown.

+1 for this Not sure it can be done by us as the whole campaign is encrypted

I've had this issue as well, the AGM-65E loads OK from the mission editor only, not with ground crew. Ground crew can only load the ADM-65L laser variant. The AGM-65E variant has "Laser" etched on the side, ADM-65L does not, but both I think are identical (one for USN/USMC, the other for USAF). The workaround is just replace all the predefined loadouts of the E with the L in the missions editor, which only needs to be done once, dont save the mission and all other missions will work OK.

I have a VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Throttle, with a joystick button press assigned to one axis, when the axis is at 99% or 100% range the button is held. Deadzone is set to 0%. In DCS and Microsoft Flight Simulator, the axis itself works fine, and smoothly transitions from 99% to 100%, even though its a tiny amount what can I say Virpil have a nice throttle with hardly any noise (much less than 1%). However the button is being correctly detected in MSFS (as well as the Virpil testing software) as being depressed all the time when the axis is pushed to 100%, but in DCS it only detects when you move from through 99% to 98%, it never detects it at 100%. The problem is I am trying to assign the button to raised flaps at 100% axis, which does not work in DCS, I have to find that sweet spot around 98/99% which is fiddly. In MSFS as soon as 100% is reached the button displays as fully depressed and remains depressed until you slide out to 98%. I have tested from the Settings in DCS and MSFS on the main screens, before and after loading a flight, so it's not realated to individual aircraft.

Fixed, I was not adding the actions in the 'triggered actions'!

I don't seem to be able to select an AI TASK from the drop down list: http://prntscr.com/ic89ax I have the waypoint tasks set up: http://prntscr.com/ic89qw
