Voice attack not working with comms !

[squid509]

I still have it on my steam install and it works

on my stand alone I did not install it for fear of integrity check keeping me off multiplayer

[Bahnzo]

I use the ATC static mod on a stand alone install and it's working fine. (no probs multiplayer)

Squid509 and Bahnzo, I was wondering about the announcement in the Static ATC authors post about his mod not working properly anymore:

 

 

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

• Not compatible with 1.5(gui is munged) or 2.0 (conflicting code changes) yet. I will try to get this resolved by the end of the year
  

[squid509]

hmm I don't know about that

I just tested it and in works I have no idea what that is all about

 

and just to be clear I'm using this VA profile

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1459461/

and this static ATC mod

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1270182/?sphrase_id=1662450

 

tested with the steam build

 

I believe that the same mod you are talking about and I saw that thread

I'm not positive what the problem is with Voice Attack. I've been having the problem where it will not open the comms menu in DCS. Had this problem ever since I bought VA about a year ago.

 

But I just noticed that if I turn off using my Push to Talk keys it does start sending the \ key now. So, I was wondering how it can send keystrokes to the game if you are also holding down other keystrokes for your Push to Talk?

 

Do you guys use PTT for VA? If so, do you use keystrokes, or what??

[pocketedition]

Running both versions of DCS. (not at same time)

Windows 10

Have trouble with some keyboard inputs during play.

Auto pilot disengage is L Alt+9 My fingers don't work like they used to.

Have Voice Attack installed and working, I have what controls I need to "fly" programed into the controller. That's an x55. Happy with a switch to control flaps and gear etc.

In flight all is working ok, the plane is responding to the voice commands I have programed in.

 

I tripped over a video clip of someone using Voice Control to activate the "Comms" function.

I thought that was a grand idea, I will do that too.

Sadly I have yet to be able to get that function running.

 

PS Thank you all for your advice and replies.

 

I have tried it with different planes at different fields, to no avail as yet.

I did get some response, that is when I ask for "Request startup" I get flicked to an exterior view until I manually activated \ before asking.

 

I did get a response in A-10C for "Rearm" although I had to manually push the \ key first.

I am getting a response in Su-25T for "Chief Rearm" I have programed in F8 F1 but I first have to physically push \

I get a "copy" and "Rearming Complete"

 

 

Now if I have to program a button on the controller to activate the "" key for me, Doesn't sound like a big problem to do that.

I have just done that and I can send Request to startup message, goes out but not getting response so far.

Currently in Su-25T at Nellis AFB.

 

Now switched to A10C at Nellis AFB, works with Rearm thing (manual activation of comm menu with \ key push)

Request startup message is sent out, but as yet no response from ATC.

 

That's whats happening at the moment fellas. I would like to post copy of profile but don't know how to do that yet.

You have to cut me some slack on that one, Closer to 70 than 60, hence the fingers flexibility problem.

 

Voice attack is told to send to Digital Combat Simulator

Keyboard set to System Default

Joysticks 1 and 2 Assigned, Enabled

Voice Attack version; 1.5.12

Speech Engine System Default

 

About to have lunch, when I get back I will try starting up in flight and try to reach ATC from the air. "Inbound" or something.

yep I read that post, i don't know what to say

I'm not getting that problem are you?

and that post is a year old a lot can happen in a year

I don't when I have VA running it always "listening" it won't do ant thing until it hears a word that is in your active profile as a command

 

I'm using VA with easy coms on and I hit \ first then speak my commands

i never tried to add \ first to the macro

is adding \ as the first key stroke not working for you?

[Snacko]

No, using \ has been flaky most of the time. Mostly it doesn't work.

 

When I get a chance I'm going to do some tests without keystrokes as ptt.

pocket....export your VA profile and upload so we can see it. Sounds like you are missing something not obvious.

The way I use VA for comms is using the various radios, but I can't imagine the "<backslash>" key would cause a problem.

 

Edit: here's a pic of a very simple "rearm" command. Works perfectly. No need to press the backslash key first, etc. So see if this is how you are using it and go from there.

 

Edit2: Opps I meant this for pocketedition above, but it works for both I guess.

I don't see that at all. Works perfectly normal AFAIK. I'm just using the normal 1.5, no beta or anything.

[Snacko]

Did some testing today without any PTT of any kind. It seems to work much better. I was using LCtrl+LAlt+LShift+F12 as my PTT sent from my hotas. That seems to have been the problem. I don't use headphones, so the game's sounds and TS may be a problem, but we'll see. If it is, then I'll try a hotas button as PTT so there are no keyboard conflicts.

[pocketedition]

Hey ummmmm

 

I'm just working on something, and spilling my coffee.

I went into game controls, (In Su-25T at Kataisi I think it is)

In game controls I changed the comms menu key from Backslash to number 0

Now when I ask for taxi, or takeoff.............its all working.

 

So my issue has been remedied by changing the comms menu trigger from Backslash to 0 (zero) (keyboard top row number 0)

And now it works like it does in the demo's on youtube.

 

I have the Voice Attack keyboard option set to System Default but it maybe couldn't find the Backslash key. But it can see the 0 key....Its all working now.

 

I will try it out in version 2 and some other planes and try to get back here and let you know if it's working there also.

[pocketedition]

Yeah, I'm back.

I have found the settings for "Keyboard" in Voice Attack and had a mess around with it.

That seems to be where my issue was coming from.

The keyboard type and or layout.

I have been messing up all sorts to find this out, so will now chuck out all my "comms soup" and set the correct keyboard layout, an start again.

 

It is working, the backslash key is now being recognized and Comms are working. For me it just needs a good tidy up.

 

Hope this may help someone else. And big thanks to all for your input.

Voice Attack has a huge update today to v1.6 with lots of enhancements and fixes.

Do you have an international keyboard?

[pocketedition]

Do you have an international keyboard?

 

Ha, I must admit I still really do not know for sure.

I adjusted the "Keyboard Layout" settings in Voice Attack and it resolved the issue.

My PC is working on ENG US but the keyboard is English UK and American layout, but it's in New Zealand ?

A microsoft wired 600, model 1576 (made in china)

 

The "Comms" menu is now activating and the hardest part is the programming of all the options; start up/taxi/inbound/re-arm/flight commands.....

Although the list is rather long it can be shortened by entering commands like Startup manually, as your on the tarmac all dressed up but going nowhere anyway.

It's an achievable task, the program helps make this process easy to accomplish.

 

I'm impressed with how well its all working. I don't have it doing everything, just the in flight key actions I was having difficulty getting my old fingers to perform. ( L Alt+9 for example)

There was also the process of switching spectacles between the monitor over there and the keyboard down here.

It doesn't like cheap microphones. Being able to switch views from cockpit to map is handy as all buggery at airport taxiways.
