Theseus Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 @Hollywood_315 Question about AOCS voice function. Is it possible to use VoiceAttack Text to Speech engine instead of the default MS voice? Live Long and Prosper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 After latest update, the Comms Menu pops up and down every 5 seconds...timed it. Also, when I push my comms switch forward, the Comms Menu comes up. If I push the Comms switch forward again, the Comms Menu closes. The same thing happens when I push the Comms switch back. When I stop pushing the Comms Switch, it goes back to the 5 second routine. If I close VoiceAttack/Viacom, the Comms Menu does not come up. One other thing, once in the cockpit, the Comms Menu pops up immediately. At that point, I know I will have a problem. Any suggestions?

USA_Recon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 same, if I start up voice attack and viacom - my DCS now won't run. so I had to repair and let it delete files - so hoping for a fix soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxsapper Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 @Hollywood_315, I think there's a bug with Vaicom. Selecting manual DCS file managing does not stop vaicom from installing the files every time Voice attack is initiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnadentod Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) After latest update, the Comms Menu pops up and down every 5 seconds...timed it. Yup, it gets triggered every few seconds. Also the on-screen text doesn't get hidden even if activated in VAICOM, you see all AWACS calls written down. Player voice also isn't disabled in my case.

dburne Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yeah , I updated yesterday evening and will be checking it out later this morning - sounds like maybe I should hold off running Voice Attack with it for a bit.

Nightstorm Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Many thanks, the time you put in is much appreciated by everyone. Seconded. I've found VAICOM PRO so immersive, that I simply don't want to fly without it. I mean it just feels wrong when you do. :) We all look forward to whatever you can work out. I suppose this goes without saying, but presuming that you can work out the 2.5.6 compatibility issues, it might be a good idea to have some sort of version check in VAICOM so that for 2.5.6 it modifies files in it's location but if you're running an older version it modifies them in the "legacy" location. For now, I'm running two installs for testing and will have to keep VAICOM away from the 2.5.6 path. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dispatch Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) May Be an option NOT to Load Vaicom when Voice Attack Opens, unless profile is selected ~~~~~~Vaicom loads at Voiceattack Startup EVEN when profile is not selected~~~~~ This means Playing any other game using voiceattack will require a REPAIR for next DCS Play This program is GREAT, Love the immersion...

sthompson Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The easiest workaround for now if you want to use VoiceAttack with other software is to simply move the VAICOM PRO folder out of the APPS folder for VA. --Softball (experiencing withdrawal symptoms until VAICOM is fixed to work with 2.5.6) May Be an option NOT to Load Vaicom when Voice Attack Opens, unless profile is selected ~~~~~~Vaicom loads at Voiceattack Startup EVEN when profile is not selected~~~~~ This means Playing any other game using voiceattack will require a REPAIR for next DCS Play This program is GREAT, Love the immersion...

bradleyjs Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Just want to chime in here too. I did upgrade to the latest beta of VA and of course the “DCS World open beta 2.5.6.43453” version. DCS always halts at 10% - then I repair and run DCS without VA and it will then load. I’m not bitching about this issue, only trying offer my insight. So, Hollywood, if need a beta tester, I will help you as much as possible. I’m at your disposal sir.

jross194 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) So, how to get my comms menu's back until the fix is out? I used VCP to disable them. Tried to run it, without running DCS, to RE-ENable. Didn't work. Got the 10% bug. Repaired DCS. Ran DCS again. No menus. I can't talk to my wingmen/tanker/atc now. Funny it works (ATC) on the ground however. Is there a LUA file I need to root around in to get these back up til the fix? Still looking. Thanks.
