The main thing that fixed my problem was complete cleaning of saved game/dcs open beta folder (but make a copy first, so you can return later your input config etc)

Apparantely, it´s working on my side. More testing tonight.

What I did was modifying this file:

 

\SavedGames\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua

 

Open and edit, deleting the part related to VAICOM

 

 

local vaicomlfs = require('lfs'); dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]])

I had a question about the PTT for the intercom, TX5. I know when I use the keyboard and press the 5 button it works as it should (press and hold for listening, release for stop listening) I am trying to bind that to my TX4 on my TM warthog by disabling the TX4 command and switching it to TX5 but when I do that and press and hold nothing happens. When I release the button it now starts listening. I can't figure out a way to fix this

That's strange. It's almost as they've been swapped around.

You haven't by chance mapped it in Voice Attack config?

Nope Haven't changed it at all, BUT since posting this I did try unchecking shortcut is invoked check box on the transmit function, and left it checked on the the stop transmitting function and it seemed to have fixed it for now. I guess I will test it in game. But all the other keybinds have that checked on both functions so I don't know how it works...:pilotfly:

Well, as long as it works!

I have "Shortcut is disabled" on all my TXs for my part!

That apparently seems to work BUT NOT. When you change module it breaks again..

 

BUT I FOUND THE CULPRIT!!! I had to make a lot of changes as it appearently was working, but when loaded other plane it alwasy was broken.

The culprit is:

 

DCS-SRS MOD. The Simple radio!!!! At least the last version that introduced the option to show msg in screen or whatever.... I don't know if loading the SRS works, but when you don't load the client appart from DCS it don't allow to recognize the mic in voiceAttack.

 

So I believe that Hollywood has to talk with the SRS creator to make a fix for this. :music_whistling:

Meanwhile, to make it work, go to the SavedGames/DCS_beta/Mods folder and remove the DCS-SRS folder.

Cool! Does it matter if SRS options are checked in VAICOM PRO control panel?

Solution does not work for me.

Yes, after deinstall of SRS the instant "Listening suspended" disapears.

But every 10 seconds I got "Listening suspended" and the airport mesages etc.

For now I have disabled VAICOM completly until the issue is fixed. :(

Can any explain if AIRIO works to make Custom waypoints in multiplayer from the F10 map? I have never got it to work! It really needs to work in MP!

Guess I was too early then. I had too bloody boot my PC and restart DCS and kick it several times, after I removed SRS, BEFORE DCS wanted to start again.

Are you 100% positive there are no "dobbled mapped" joystick inputs. Voice Attack did change it you know in the latest update, from 2 to 4 joysticks.

 

What I would do at this point is:

Have VAICOM PRO Voice Attack profile active. Edit the profile and REMOVE ALL your TX bindings, apply and save for good measure. Close Voice Attack, and restart it. And then bind the TXs again.

I am considering to buy VAICOM but I am not sure if it works with my current VA profile for DCS this way:

 

Now I use VA to control my cockpits and I do not use PTT all.

I am OK with using PTT for VAICOM commands to control AI, but I do not want to use PTT to control my aircraft. Is it possible to attach e.g. my DCS Spitfire profile via DAISY-CHAIN to VAICOM VA profile and use PTT only for VAICOM comands?

Anyone else having issues since latest update?

 

I'm running Open Beta and Vaicom Pro doesn't seem to be working anymore. There's no longer any audio hints and you can no longer hear ATC or the Crew Chief or Tankers replying. It was working great before the update. Any ideas? Thanks

[Chopper A-10]

Having the same issues . . . flew last night, updated, VoiceAttack now not working . . was looking to see if other had same issue . .

[speed-of-heat]

yep same here

[hreich]

Chopper A-10 and stuartaston - you uodated to latest Open beta?

[speed-of-heat]

yep

[jameslockridge]

Every time I update DCS it has seemed to brake VA for a day or so. Then slowly things came back not from anything that I've done that I know of to fix it.

Each time this happened I debate if I should report it because I wasn't sure it was't something I had done wrong during updating.

[speed-of-heat]

its the nature of running the open beta I think

[Greyman]

I always delete export.lua after every DCS update, as that is likely to solve at least some, if not most, of these types of issues.

 

The file will be in your /Users/<username>/<DCS folder>/Scripts folder

[speed-of-heat]

yep that worked, thanks !

Just go in and delete it? Is another export.lua produced on its own?

[speed-of-heat]

yes , but, I also have combat flight, so I copied the line from there first and then added it back into the lua after it gets recreated

Thanks I think that's what I have been missing. I'm going to try that with next upgrade.

That worked. I'll have to remember from now to go to that if I'm seeing problems after an update. Thanks for your help!
