Weegie Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The problem is deeper than your fixes I'm sad to say I tried them already and no difference both before and after re-install After implementing each fix I also came out of DCS entirely and shutdown VA, then restarting both VA and DCS, no difference In fact after the re-install things are worse as the comms do not seem to be getting recognized at all Before a re-install I had my own profile running and Vaicom linked to it, I know that's not recommended. Although I was not getting module recognition on the pop up at least I had comms. Now running Vaicom on it's own I currently have no comms I only run TARGET and Track IR and for one trial I ran without TARGET enabled, all of these attempts have proved entirely fruitless Any other ideas because it has me completely stumped Inside the Special Tab Vaicom is there and installed along with chatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I get every module correctly identified when I launch it and bring up the panel for Viacom. Also, I had a stock install path, but to a "G:" drive so not sure if Viacom is always looking for "C:" install paths only. Regardless, once I did this, and made sure to include \bin vs. not going that deep, everything works. G:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS\bin - leaving off \bin, no love, \bin did the trick. Slightly different than the fix link posted above. May not be your fix, maybe you tried, but thought I would mention it. I did not go back more than two pages of posts, so maybe you already did this.

Weegie Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Tried that SmirkingGerbil, no dice I'm afraid. I had not thought of it though and your reply was much appreciated because you never know, but I'm stumped how it would work as it would place the luas in the wrong place I'm really glad it worked for you, I'm getting pretty frustrated with it. I disabled all my Mods too, just in case, no difference. I don't think it's even interfacing with the game any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyman Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Is your VoiceAttack still being launched in Admin mode? There have been some reports of shortcuts mysteriously having their properties changed. Maybe worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weegie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Ok I stopped all mods running, deleted all the luas that Vaicom uses and did a repair That brought back the in games comms Next I opened VA with Vaicom profile and had the profile set to point to where DCS OpenBeta resides and ticked the OB tick box Opened a mission for the Viiggen, just a simple one where I'm sitting on the runway at Senaki and executed an "Abort Takeoff" this was recognized and responded to. But still no recognition of the aircraft just "--" in the pop up box for Vaicom on the PTT page I've attached the log file as I enabled the "Run in Debug" option I'd appreciate if Hollywood or somebody who knows Vaicom in depth would take a look to see if they see anything wrongVAICOMPRO.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Next I opened VA with Vaicom profile and had the profile set to point to where DCS OpenBeta resides and ticked the OB tick box I am a bit confused about when this is needed? The manual gives an example of a 'Steam' DCS install having custom location. And also mentions that the Windows Registry has the install locations... My DCS & DCS.OpenBeta installs are in a custom folder called 'C:/My Programs/'. So, do I need to use this VAICOM option for a custom location? I'm guessing no? If yes, then I need 2 options. (I'm asking because I am still trying to stop the Comms menu from constantly popping up in the Stock & OpenBeta.)

sze5003 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 They're making an extension (AIRIO) to VAICOM specifically for F-14 to cover RIO commsAh I figured it would be a new one. I'd always need to use it until I had the sequence memorized. But you don't necessarily need to follow the assisted startup each time. I'm one of those that would so a new profile for it is nice.

Greyman Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Shouldn't that box highlighted have the command in, every single command is missing Is this why i cant use it There is currently a now long standing bug in Voice Attack (not Vaicom Pro) that makes it look like that field is empty, when it actually contains what it should. If you follow the ctrl&a, delete and paste steps, you should therefore be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I was going to suggest what greyman did but then saw in your first pic (what you can see of the middle window), it looks you you have the list of commands there, you can try as suggested though, but I’d probably say it’s a different issue MSI M5 z270 | Intel i5 7600k (OC) 4.8GHz | MSI GTX1080ti Gaming X 11Gb | 500gb Samsung 970 Evo NVME M.2 (DCS World) | 500gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD (OS and Apps) | 32Gb 2400MHz DDR4 - Crucial Ballistix | Be Quiet Silent Loop 240mm | NZXT H440 case | Thrustmaster Warthog - 47608 with Virpil Mongoose joystick base | MFG Crosswinds - 1241 | Westland Lynx collective with Bodnar X board | Pilot's seat from ZH832 Merlin | JetSeat | Oculus Rift S | Windows 10 | VA | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Voice Attack does display the commands, combined or otherwise, in the profile, but the box that was highlighted in red did appear to be empty and that is how the VA bug usually manifests itself. Either way, as long as the commands exist within the profile, it should work. Edit: unless there is another issue that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglewings Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Greyman suggestion worked. I have the empty space but I did the invincible highlight, delete and paste thing, the database now updated. I was not getting that PTT radio identification recognition for each module and chatter working before updating database. So I will try again and see if that works.

Eaglewings Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Everything is working now as designed to do. Some challenges in know what call to make at each situation. For instance I did an air to air mission, called briefing and mission briefing was read out aloud to me. Put in my radio frequency for the tanker. Called out 'request refuel' and tanker will not respond. I thought vaicom was supposed to automatically recognize this call is intended for the tanker. Also I would like to able to use this voice command to invoke the F-keys function like map and fly-bys Anyone know how I may do these.
