SolUniverse Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Here is a set of kneeboard cheat sheets I made with all the RIO commands from the manual if anyone wants them. I Never remember the right phrase to say so they help me out big time. First page could be this for quick reference: These are all the commands to bring up the menu for additional commands. prob easier to learn in game: RIO OPTIONS: (JESTER) Scan Range Scan Azimuth Scan Elevation Track Single Select Stores Set Fuse Set Ripple Quanity Set Ripple Time Set Ripple Distance Select Stations Radio Mode Link Mode Link Host Navigate Restore Tacan Mode TACAN Ground Station TACAN Tune Countermeasures Mode Flares Mode Chaff Program Display Dispense Order Flares Program (ICEMAN) Set Altitude Change Altitude Change Speed Set Heading Turn
Badger1409 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) OK so this is probably me missing something, I have the latest AIRIO expansion installed 2.5.1 I've tried this with ICS hot mic on and off, we have complex comms on the server. I try to contact the tanker or AWACS on our server in the F14B with the radio tuned correctly, the command is recognised and actioned in DCS but the asset does not respond, ATC is fine. Other aircraft work ok and it was working ok before installing the AIRIO. I'm not sure what the issue is, I'd appreciate any advice. Hollywood, kudos to you for this software mate it increases my immersion no end edit: forgot to mention that pilots flying the F14 without VA can contact and get a response with no issue, I can't even hear their responses.

RedeyeStorm Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Question. How do you select the TALD with AIRIO? Cant find it anywhere.
SolUniverse Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 How can you get Jester to use the map markers using AIRIO? I do not see that in the list of commands.
melo Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I'm trying to validate the VAICOMPRO licence key but I cannot open the config window via VA. -VA: Run as Admin - Windows 10 Narrator: disabled - Keyboard shortcuts: On - plugin support: enabled latest VA log: 21:37:55 - Plugin 'VAICOM PRO 2.5' initialized. 21:37:55 - Ready for commands. 21:37:54 - Initializing.. 21:37:54 - Press LCtrl+LAlt+C for config. 21:37:54 - VAICOM PRO for DCS World. License: FREE 21:37:54 - Plugin support enabled. -------- Any ideas how I can fix this problem ?
melo Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 .. short, quite obvious addition: pressing the key komb LCtrl+LAlt+c doesn't do anything..

Ala12Rv-Birdman Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Gents, I'm confused: is it possible to use VAICOM Pro, with Easy Communication disabled in DCS settings, - without settings frequencies manually on a radio panel? In other word: If I use VAICOM Pro with Easy Communication enabled in DCS - when I address to a tower - its frequency is set automatically. And I know there is a checkbox in VAICOM Pro Preferencies: "Select Tunes Radio". But I cannot get the radio tuned automatically with this checkbox set - If Ez Comm is disabled in DCS.. Hi.. Just try giving the order to the RIO keying the radio you want to change the freq (182 in this case), not keying the ICS. Anyway, although I can make him change the freq this way, I'm still not able to comunicate throug his radio. Tune the exact same freq on my 159 radio and I get response with no problems. So for me, 182 radio is still completely dead.. more people with same issue??

Weegie Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Nobody else getting their radio frequency changing in FA-18C on connecting with a Tanker Easy Comms is on and I've tried in several servers, always the same. Tune to the correct frequency and then when initiating comms with the tanker the radio frequency changes by 1 or 2 MHz (up or down it seems random) I can still contact the tanker but in some cases I could not get a "clear contact" and get him to spool the hose When I switch off VAICOM I can do everything through the menu commands or my use my own VA profile without issue.
RedeyeStorm Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Birdman. For some reason Jester switches from AM to FM. That is why no response.
lancerr Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Hollywood - reposting this because you are quite knowledgable and respond quickly --------------------- Gents, I have successfully managed to setup DCS with SimShaker, VoiceAttack, Vaicom, AIRIO, Tacview The problem starts with DCS updates but also individual update of these many modules. Through some hamfisted deleting of export.lua and individual add onexport folders in DCS/saved games and DCS.OpenBeta/saved games. Bunch of questions What exactly is the process of updating these starting with DCS? I thought export.lua was generated by DCS but it looks like the modules are doing it? Is that right? If that's the case, then how come I see one export.lua file contain multiple calls to export said modules? Should I be deleting just the folders, the export.lua file or both? I have tried to make sure that export.lua has a backup copy with calls to create exports for all 4 addones -but this doesn't seem to be enough. Tacview seems to require a full reinstall to actually get working. Lastly - how do I create a repeatable process for updating DCS and addons. DCS + add ons are now updating thier software at least once a week if not more and then the whole thing breaks down. Voiceattack+Vaicom+AIRIO stop listening to voicecommands, Simshaker will randomly start shaking and tacview stops creating meaningful tracks. It sometimes takes an hour or two of repeated deletes and DCS restarts, launching missions, testing voice, testing Jester, testing tacview and I have to imagine it can be a quicker process.

lancerr Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 How are people able to land with AIRIO. Are you using Tacan Tune Stennis and Link Host Stennis? Those don't seem to work for me so I get no ILS, no ALC etc.
TheFlyGuy Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I can't get VAICOM Pro to work Sorry, but I can't get VAICOM Pro to work. I've read through the manual, watched the tutorial video, but VAICOM won't work for me. Plain vanilla VA works fine with my own profiles. I then installed the VAICOM and VAICOM Chatter Plugins (but left the AIRIO plugin out for now). For a first test I hopped into my F14 standing cold & dark on an airfield. First thing would be to attach ground power. So I tried TX1, TX4 and TX5 one after another with the voice command "Chief, Ground Power ON". This command obviously is recognized from VA, but nothing happens in DCS. I also tried several other commands, i.e. request to taxi whith engies running, but there is never any response in DCS. Please see the attached screenshot vom VA that clearly shows that VAICOM has been initialized, and my command has been received via TX1. What am I missing?
overalien Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Jester gets the Datalink Frequency wrong. On a few occasions I noticed that when asking Jester to set "Link Host <unit name>" he tunes the DL to a frequency other than the one in the mission for that unit (e.g. AWACS or Carrier)(reference info is the kneeboard). sometimes he is off by only 0.2 MHz but he is still off. Is this a VAICOM ARIO issue or is it an F-14 module bug? __________________ overalien Hog Driver starting to really like the Tomcat System specs: Intel i7-8700k - OC to 5.0 GHz | 32 GB RAM 3600 MHz | Nvidia 1080ti SLi | Mixed Storage - Win 10 and DCS on Samsung SSD 970 Pro Flightgear: 7 Displays (3 x 1440p, 1 X 1080p, 3 X Lilliput Touch) | 3 x Cougar MFDs | Warthog HOTAS | Thrustmaster TPR Pedals | iBEAM Shaker + Simshaker for Aviators w.

Brun Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Can anyone explain the following. On starting VA I test it, and get this (reads from the bottom-up as it appears in the VA output): 18:56:21 - Listening suspended 18:56:21 - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 18:56:17 - Constructing message... 18:56:17 - TX1 | VHF AM: [ ATC ],[ ],[ ] Inbound [ ] [ ] 18:56:17 - Unspecified recipient called: using default unit for this category 18:56:17 - Have result, identified as command : Inbound 18:56:17 - Captured sentence: inbound 18:56:17 - Recognized : 'inbound' (Confidence 85) 18:56:15 - Listening resumed 18:56:15 - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' Which confirms PTT and speech recognition are working absolutely fine. However with DCS running a simple mission in the Hornet I just get: 18:59:51 - Listening suspended 18:59:51 - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release' 18:59:47 - TX1 | COMM1: ARC-210: Radio 38 AM 251.000 MHz tuned to recipient KC135MPRS Texaco 18:59:47 - TX1 | COMM1: ARC-210: Radio 38 AM 251.000 MHz tuned to recipient Al Maktoum Intl OMDW 18:59:47 - Listening resumed 18:59:47 - Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press' This seems to suggest my radio is tuned correctly, but I can't get anything recognised. Neither "Approaching for refuel" or "Texaco, approaching for refuel" get any response. It's nothing specific to this mission, which has worked fine in the past. Current nothing is working at all. Furthermore, after quitting DCS *and* restarting VA it still doesn't recognise commands as in the first example until I reboot the PC. I've reset VAICOM multiple times to no avail, and disabled AIRIO in case that was the cause. No idea what else to do.

Badger1409 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 @Redeyestorm, you sir, are a star, thank you! Jester does indeed change the radio to FM when he tunes the radio so the tankers and AWACS don't receive the transmission, tell jester to change the radio mode to AM and it works fine.

SolUniverse Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 any chance you can add "no menus" to a hot key? The menus are a constant issue with using any radios on all planes. .seems only the f14 can disable menus when using SRS.. F18 is another story. I still need to access the F10 menu and dont see an easy way of having the best of both worlds.

Do you mean the F radiomenu (F1-F12) With Vaicom Pro you can use the "options" voicecommand to open the F-menu and the "Take" command followed by the F number you like to select. "Take 1" selects the F1 option in the menu. "Take 10" = F10 Other. Im not sure what you ask though :( If you have the F-menu popping in and out all the time then Vaicom Pro did`nt recognized the module/plane you are useing.
