Was this back in Feb? Becuase Feb is when this happened to me. This really sounds like what I am dealing with. I had a screenshot and question about this on a previous post, I did not see any start/stop and was not sure if I was in the right place. I do not know where to get a fresh Vaicom Pro profile and if I am doing this 100% right. I exported as per Max (save my custom phrases) and reset using the button however this made Vaicom worse. It recognizes nothing. I have already repaired DCS Vaicom and reinstalled and nothing happens. I notice when I sit in the P-51 cockpit cold and dark I am getting button click noise's randomly. DCS does not show any input nor does emulation software. When I turn off VA the clicking in the cockpit stops. It seems something from vaicom is being setoff randomly with no input from me. Even the "Off of offf off" seems to be vaicom only. I know it sounds impossible but the computer does not seem to be hearing "offff off of off(Windows 10). What are these clicking noises when Vaicom is on? Vaicom works fine on the ground. Than Once I take off, commands no longer process. Honestly through elimination, both in hardware and software, the only time issues happen is when Vaicom is on and a mission is loaded. Thank you Please help Fang

Hi Hornblower! I went all out, not only bypassing VM Banana, but I disconnected one of my USB hub's and plugged in headphones directly. The issue is still there, even with the ghost xmit presses that are not recognized by any other program but Viacom. Its strange, once I take off in the P-51 Blue Nose Campaign, My Flight commands (Form Up) become delayed and the tower no longer responds. If you wish you can see this here (May still be uploading): Just FF to 17:00. Also at the very end of the video, a ghost Xmit happens. Fang

thx Max

. The reason for this is because I am using the "Nipple mouse switch" on the X-55, which is only recognized through banding and assigning virtual keys. Lol interesting seeing where voice recognition is going!:thumbup: I only hope this gets fixed, but honestly its getting to the point that I cannot imagine Vaicom ever working correctly again. I still have to try eliminating Voicemeter from setup as an experiment, but I just get the feeling this not gonna be the problem If anyone else can answer these questions, I am gonna wait on resetting until I know it will not lose my custom phrases - Will resetting keyword erase all the custom words/phrases I have created? - Could someone elaborate on Hollywoods last step above? Will this step erase custom settings?

Thank you Grey, this is a good tip. Hopefully I do not have to leave VM Banana but its good to have the option Fang

thank you Hollywood, - Will resetting keyword erase all the custom words/phrases I have created? - Could elaborate on the last step? Will this step erase custom settings? I will try to eliminate Voicemeter as a culprit. Strangely my Windows voice recognition does not have many issues (I know they are the same but in the past there HAS been a difference between VA and Windows Cortana). Fang P.S You Got The Gift, But It Looks Like You're Waiting For Something.

Hi max, thanks for asking I am using the keyboard with "shift" keys "0-5) for TX 1-5. This is emulated through the Saitek X-55 software. The softwware shows no ghost input on my end if you were curious.

Hi Hornblower, thanks for your response, I apologize but I had a few Windows Update bugs to tackle and had to take a break from this issue. What you mentioned sounds like something interesting, this was broke after an update. I am still having major issues, same issues as before PLUS: I started a new campaign in the P-51 Blue Bastards campaign. In the missions it seems Vaicom will work before takeoff, than after takeoff voice commands are recognized, beeps, and than the command is delayed. The delay becomes longer as mission progresses until by the time I reach the target, the command delays are MINUTE/S behind! "Form up" (Confirmed command beep) Minutes later. Computer = "Flight Close Formation" This is similar to an issue in the f18 where Vaicom works 80% ok, until I reach carrier and it crashes and has issues. If I am landing Vaicom seems to be basicaly nonfunctional. (I do have a recording of this if needed) I eagerly looked at your recomendation, And this is what I see. Sadly I am not seeing what you describe. Thank you for looking at this, I'm really losing hope with this so the forum is helping me keep going. Fang

Just a quick reply that I was able to get the sounds to load up by turning "RansomWare" off Than on again in Avast, however I am unable to get any of the custom aircraft to appear in the dropdown menu of Simshakers Aviator (as pictured in last screenshot)

Hello all. I may be in the wrong place but I am sad to say that Simshaker (and all programs involved with Buttkicking) have completely stopped working for me! I tried email Andre but he has referred me here so I have remailed him and am posting my hell here. Lol (Sorry DCS, Vaicom, and my computer in general are putting me in an early grave). I have not changed anything on my end, of course there is always Windows changes I guess. My "Onedrive" is set to read only but all this had worked until 3 or 4 days ago...Months and months of stable service. Also, I only have Generic Heli, Plane, as seen in the dropdown window of the last picture (178 ) Please have a look and see if it makes sense. Overwhelmed, Fang

Hey folks, Am I the only one getting FPS hits? Particularly with the new Channel map? Seems OK FPS except when big cities are in view in VR. Anyway I am off to chase a zillion other bugs :joystick:... but I would be curious to know if anyone has had any negative FPS takes on things. Fang

Thanks for the suggestion but yes, of course lol. Like I said I've flown the Hornet for a minute (awhile). This just started happening maybe 2 patches back in OB

Should I make another video or is there a log or something that could help finally move past this. I would have never thought the first time I installed that update it would be the last time any of this worked properly.

I'll try anything...

I may have to make a video with this problem, and I did either make a post or comment about this somewhere else but this is getting worse. Many times Air to ground loadouts do not show on the stores page and are inaccessible. Its nothing I am doing, I've flown the hornet for a minute now. What's weird is that fuel tanks will still show, but any AG stores do not. Even AA loadouts show. I had a mission where I noticed on startup this problem. Despite the weapons showing on the wing there was nothing for me to work with in the cockpit. So I reloaded the mission stores via "refuel". They showed in the weapon stores after the chief reported the action complete. I flew on even setting up timers but when I got to the mission the Mk82s become unelectable. This time they were there, but they would not allow me to change any parameters, box "82" in the stores config or anything. No bomb fall line, just as if the bombs were not there. What can I do about this? Fang

I guess so I would say it largely remains unchanged. I the xmit turns on and off within a second.

I did completely remove the joysticks' assignments from each transmit. It looks like this. Sadly this has had no effect. :cry:

Is this what you mean?

Thanks. Unfortunately I highly doubt there is any kind of double press. I have had the x-55 software "test" window open during the glitches and it shows no inputs while it happens I am using the x-55 HOTAS mainly. It is recognized by VA through the keyboard input, not joystick. The comms assignment is "right shift"+ 0/1/2...etc" depending on radio. Specifically this is assigned to the nipple switch using banding. To put this to a test I have also tried holding shift 0 with no emulators running and the xmit still cuts off after 1 second. Its strange becuase this literally became an overnight problem after update feb 12th. The person who originally posted the issue in VA forum claims they reinstalled an old version of vaicom then reinstalled the later feb 12th update and the problem ended. (At least somehing like that) Of course thiis solution did not work as well for me Thanks for looking at this

I did purchase the ATC license and figure that out at least... Yes Thank you very much for looking at this and I hope it is what you are looking for. I have a screen of task manager with the open tabs but generally On a standard, non recorded, bare of the bone's setup I am running: X-55 software for the HOTAS X-65 Software for HOTAS Simshaker for Aviators (2Buttkickers) Voice Meter Banana (VB) to (Voice attack is set to receive straight from The Mindframe Headset Mic (I wear this over the rift). Voice attack playback sound is mixed through VB which is the computers default output for sound. Strategic commander (For Microsoft game commander controller) (Note) I do show in the bigger video that no ghost commands are being detected, in case you wondered. I am using standalone, I own all the modules and Tacview any ideas? I tried playing today and it is just terrible...

Hello all, I am extremely sorry that I have been away, honestly this problem has been getting the better of me and I had to walk away for a few. Thank you so much for asking because I have not got it working at all. Actually Vaicom has broken more for me... I have made 2 videos showing the horrors I am dealing with Vaicom right now. Basically one is a full flight showing a typical day in Vaicom and the second video discuses the latest problem where as of 2 days ago Viacom stopped recognizing F10 commands. Basically midflight "Take 3" became "Take Three". Other commands "Take 4" Worked. I reset Luas in Viacom and say, "Take 4" works but then "Take 3" is recognized as "Take Three" And thus the option does not work. More on this in video: "DCS - Terminator 4.5: Viacom Day - Voice Attack/Viacom Broken!" I HAVE PAINSTAKENLY TIMESTAMPED EVERY OCCURENCE IN THESE VIDEOS! Please look in the descriptions and click on the timestamps so you do not have to hear me endlessly complaining lol. Sadly the full flight lost half of its timestamps, but it still shows almost every problem in Vaicom with the timestamps it has. Long Flight video Showing EVERY OTHER Problem besides one where Viacom stops recognizing the xmit button and I need to restart it to work. "DCS Vaicom/Voice Attack Less Than Steller" Short video Showing new F10 problem. "DCS - Terminator 4.5: Vaicom Day - Voice Attack/Vaicom Broken!" Remember all of this has worked before... Please help me Voice Attack Vaicom people! I love your product and I just want it to work like it did back in DCS OB 2.5.5 (Around Feb 12?) Sorry for length of everything Thank You so much Fang

I +1 this as well. Although I am a HUGE stickler to getting it right from wheels up to touchdown (including startup)... I would love the ability to go back if I screwed up. My missions can go on for 2 hours, and sometimes I do not get a chance to work on the part of the mission I would like to becuase something goes wrong 1+ hours in flight. Having the option to save would really be a training tool I could use.

Gonna give this a shot, makes sense. I held back giving my 2 cents on the patch until a full 24 hrs later and the there are improvements across the board. Honestly its a small miracle to see such a bump in fps AS SC comes out. SC is breathtaking and the sim is reminding me why I have given so much money to ED. The FPS is not as good as 2.5.5 for me but its getting there! This basically got me back 80% the performance I had before! I hope the next patch also shows improvements fps-wise. Well done! I do need to test the F-18 campaign which was so badly hit by this plague, but "Strike Fighter" was playable (and even recordable). Still needs work again but wow... Its still very welcomed good news!
