After the rescue, the in game prompts you to tune marshal &spacebar to RTB. Tried the updated freq on the kneeboard (put 144.00 in M) but nothing happened on either box. Tried the originals and still no joy. Tried using DCS in-game ATC but no response either. Also Mother's TCN though giving a range and steerpoint on HUD shows nothing on the HSI. Fortunately was able to gash it on with no comms but shame to end a nice easy mission like that!

How fantastic that I accidentally stumbled onto this thread (via the YT vid you referenced with the emoji!) , as I'd never heard of this OpenXR before. Followed the instructions to the letter.. well, I haven't got around to downloading the toolkit yet in the final stage as I did what I was told and checked everything worked. Instructions were perfect except couldn't find the Direct3D dll file thing anywhere which soaked up a fair bit of time before I realised it didn't matter, but once I ran it up WOW loading time much faster, way less juttering, butter smooth in game etc. 2080ti Ryzen 7 3800 64gb Reverb G1. Thanks for putting this together!

Oh now I feel silly! I did not realise the briefing was 2-dimensional i.e. multiple pics AND scrolling down the text! I was looking for info in the text only. My bad apologies. Thanks for getting back so fast.

Please, and this is what normally makes me give up on these types of things, can we have more specific objectives? So far I'm still trying to finish mission 1. All it needs are some satellite photos or better descriptions, for example "airfield entrance"... it took me ages to find where that was just by eventually stumbling on a tank in my TGP not by being able to logically work out where to look. Secondly, these "garages" are doing my head in! Please, can you tell me where/what they are? I have tried flattening various buildings, and once even got a "hanger 1 destroyed" message (hanger, not garage) so some help would be really appreciated. If this is the gentle starter mission I'm in trouble if the objectives are similar. (Note, although I could ask wingy to take out one of the tanks, I can't ask him to take out a garage... that might have shown me what I was looking for? Thanks for any help

Ah so you have to explicitly equip them before departure. Gotcha, thanks!

Thanks - not heard of these JHMCS - how does one achieve this choice?

I'm sure this used to to work - I have shift-h and a hotas button assigned and neither of them work now. Is there a bug is anyone aware? Thanks

Fantastic, thank you. I have a few of those old types.

I’m about to upgrade cpu so I will need to go through this process, can anyone tell me how to do the deactivation? When I search most of the results are from many years ago so want to make sure I’ve got the latest info. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance

Thank you. Can I ask what you mean by the select command though? Like yourself I have easy comms of etc and have the right freq

Yes definitely, plus it also sometimes seems to "partially" lose tracking while in game; I can look around and up and down but cannot move my head/body forward/back or left/right. When this happens and I go to Oculus home I find the touch controllers are effectively glued to the surface. I don't think it is hardware, as I have had it on previous firmware versions, which have then been fixed but introduced others, like not detecting my displayport connection unless I remove and replace it etc. I hope they stabilise this soon, as for my setup at least it's not dependable for long periods of playtime.

Hi all, not sure if this is the right place, but I have set up a mission involving me and one C130 for refueling practice. If I run it without VA, and just use the comms in game menu it works fine, but if I use VA then "request refuel" is recognised, but I get "there are no crew recipients available", which for some reason means that even though "ready precontact" is recognised and replied to ("cleared precontact"), the tanker never lets the hose out! Any ideas?

You can walk around!? No way!!! I will try that at once... what about getting out of a cockpit and walking is that possible?

When I'm playing in "serious" mode (Campaigns etc) I use my Rift S with my TM Warthog, as I now have all the systems pretty much down pat. Using mouse click in the cockpit works ok for me too. However, learning it, or a new ac (eg Hornet now) and doing tutorials etc then I need to keep pausing referring to stuff, switching over manuals, to Vaicom Pro etc to see why that's not working (or check that it is) then I prefer the freedom of Track IR and the real world.

Hello I am having very strange behaviour. I have updated Vaicom pro, and today updated Voiceattack when prompted. Been flying a mission in A10, and startup and taxi etc all recognised fine (with the reassuring beep at the end to let me know it's been recognised) but then at some point during the mission, it seems to lose the link between DCS and voiceattack. I can hear the static when I transmit, but no beep at the end. If I shift-tab to the VA window I can see that the my command was recognised, but not passed to the game. I also used to be able to "take 10" to get the F10 options menu but can't now. Any ideas?

Well I have sort of got it working thanks, I can get the Options menu up now and can proceed with the missions at last, although annoyingly the options themselves are displayed right underneath the display of the in mission text which makes reading it very hard but it's useable so thanks for that. I have another problem now; on approach to Kobuleti at the end of the mission, I manually tune 133 for tower and request rejoin, but it infuriatingly auto-tunes Batumi(?) instead and transmits to them. Seems an Easycomms issue, but as you said above, I need Easycomms on in the first place to be able to access the F10 options menu. Oh well!

Ah thank you I think I'm getting somewhere now... just tried saying "options" in VA/Vaicom, it is recognised "Options - confidence 97%" , but nothing happens in game, the VA window says: "TX4 | AUTO: [ Undefined ],[ ],[ ] Show Options [ ] [ ]" so is it context specific in-game ie only available at certain mission points, or do I need to enable any other settings? I do already have "import F10 menus" checked in my Vaicom config.

Hey thanks for the reply but I’ve no idea what any of what you wrote means! What is “options take” please? I’m at an impasse where I need to (apparently) use the f10 radio menu but f10 just brings my map up.

Hi, I do not know if I am pushing this to work in a way it wasn't designed, but I'm trying to play The Enemy Within campaign for A-10C, and there seem to be a hell of a lot of voice interactions needed for these missions which don't seem "standard" (eg one's I've come across during the training modes etc)... I'm also trying to use it in VR, so I don't have the luxury of the menus (my reason for needing to use VA in the first place, unless anyone knows how else I can do it!). Anyone else had similar issues and resolved it?

I'm having exactly the same problem... it loses tracking when I look down due to the mismatched geometry between the clip pro and the TIR sensor. I'm mainly using VR but sometimes I just want the simplicity (and increased eye candy) of TIR. I'm following this with interest for a solution! As an aside anyone managed to mount a Track Clip pro to their head without having to use a headset? Clipping it to the hat would be idea but the design of the clip makes it impossible.

I’m not so sure Hollywood. I haven’t touched any mic settings, I went through speech training in the Viacom config and it seems to be working now. Somehow it looks like it was looking somewhere else for the old library but having redone it it must have put it in the correct place?

For the benefit of anyone else, I think I solved the immediate issue by discovering the "DCS Custom Path" setting in the Vaicom Config. The above being said, it seems to hardly recognise any commands any more, after many many wasted hours previous of windows voice training and Keywords Training mode in Vaicom config. It is just too flakey and misinterprets most of what I say, and I am a native unaccented English speaker. I feel I have possibly expended too much effort on this. Frustrating though it is seeing everyone else's installation working perfectly. It's even more damned frustrating because I use VR and can't even use the keyboard.

Apologies if this has been asked before but i hope you'll forgive my attempt to not have to read 274 pages... I have just moved my DCS installation from one SSD drive to another (via Windows move). Voiceattack was and is still in the default c: drive. Although DCS runs perfectly, Vaicom/VA are behaving strangely/not working. It is recognising some speech from looking at the Vaicom plugin window, but in-game my PTT on my HOTAS just brings up/cancels the defauly in-game communications menu, even though I have nothing mapped in game for my HOTAS PTT key and all in-game menus turned off! Are these things coincidence or has something happened with the plugin since 2.5.5? Thanks in advance!

The twitchiness of the rudder with the NWS engaged could be a deadzone issue with your pedals, and I always found in the air I needed quite significant and constant aileron trim in flight to keep wings level, but a larger deadzone did improve it considerably on my TM Warthog.

I think someone (me) needs to do a bit of homework on these different SAMs! Thanks for the tip! I'm very happy it wasn't just me, thank you! More homework... the Dreaded Mission Editor! I reckon with a fair bit of luck I've got 30-35 years left... maybe I'll get this licked in that time hahaha
