hornblower793 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) If I try the "TX-1" which is bound on my warthog throttle... I only occasionally get a 'beep' I feel I've had this issue before with the F14 (mic switch flicking on and off), but it is far more extreme considering I can't get any response. Other aircraft "Sort of" had this issue for me. I've tried separating SRS from Vaicom in the hopes I could make a PTT for Vaicom alone... but I'm still getting some odd issues I don't run SRS so cannot really help on that issue, but I do use a Warthog throttle and the Mig 21 so will jump on this later and see how it works for me (I haven't flown it recently). Are there any entries in the VA log when you don't get beeps (it might help to turn on debug in the VAICOM config screens to see if this gives any clue)? Edit: I have now tried my Mig 21 and it worked fine for me so at least we can discount there being a fundamental problem between the module and Vaicom. Have you tried contacting @Hollywood_315 directly to see if he has any ideas?

GTFreeFlyer Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm having issues with the "switch" command while also running SRS. For example, if human players are dialed into the same frequency as an airfield, how can I talk to the other humans? When I first hit the PTT, it listens for a command to the airfield, such as "Inbound", and after it recognizes it, it gives me a tone and then anything I say after that can be heard by the other humans. However, how can I talk directly to the humans on that channel without issuing a command to the AI airfield first? I thought it would be as simple as hitting the PTT, then saying "switch", but that does not work. TIA, -GT- Hi, still having issues with this after trying all the suggestions. Can anyone share screenshots of their settings? I'm using the same PTT for SRS and ViaCom. If there is an AI on the frequency, I'm able to communicate with it just fine. If there is no AI on the freq. I hear the switch tone immediately when hitting the PTT and am able to talk to other humans just fine. The issue still exists where I have mixed AI and humans on same freq. I will hear the switch tone only after issuing a command to the AI. The desired behavior is to hit the PTT, immediately say "switch" then hear the tone and speak to a human without interacting with the AI. I can't get this working properly. Also, new issue that used to work for me but no longer does: When I say "options", the menu pops up as desired, but when I say "Take 5" or "Take 10", etc, no command is issued and I am not able to interact with the menu. Not sure why this suddenly stopped working. Thanks!

hornblower793 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I don't know about SRS, but for the last issue of not being able to use the Take commands, try installing the AIRIO dll in the extensions folder under VAICOMPRO - you do not need to buy the AIRIO extension. This should be fixed in the next release of Vaicom which @Hollywood_315 is hoping to release by the end of the month Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stag1978 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi Tomactters, Is it possible to ask Jester via AIRIO to tune the radio to preset channels? I have found that the frequencies can be asked manually (verbally) but I could not find out how to ask Jester to set a preset channel. What is the syntax, if there is any? Thanks for your help!

fUnk3mUnk3 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi everyone so my issue is that for some reason the command "Tacan Tune Yankee/X-ray [0..9][0..9][0..9] has just stopped working all other commands are working well, even Jester Radio Tune works. I have deleted the export.lua and copied the AIRIO.dll file and still it does not work. I have then tried using the new Jester,..Option and this brings up the Jester wheel outside of the jet (not sure if that's meant to work like that) but i have no idea how it works, I can go into the options to a certain level but then it doesn't allow me to select further options. Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalfeyn Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 So I bought multiple licences a few months ago. Recently, I wiped my windows and therefore vaicompro and everythign related to it, too. Now I cant activate my licences. I deleted the emails some times ago but still have got the bills from paypal. I sent an email to the vaicom support but dont get any answer or help from them. I'm currently pretty disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fUnk3mUnk3 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The scripts folder probably - you have Export.lua and Vaicompro.export.lua in there So I eventually worked it out. I started using a CMS Dice mod by Baily very nice mod (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312680/) and it seems that his mod for some reason or a other affects that one voice command. I literally set my saved games Openbeta folder back to default and copied each folder back while testing and it was his mod. It would have made more sense to work backwards I suppose but this was more fun :). Anyways I have reported it to him in his discord so I will wait to see if he can fix it.

Jalava Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 VAICOM seems to silence the AI radio messages for A-10C II when callsign is of pork series (BOAR, TUSK, HAWG, PIG) Changing the callsign brings the radio calls back, it also works when VAICOM isn't active.

Home Fries Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Does viacom support the Skyhawk A4e? I see no reason why not. VAICOM interfaces directly with DCS and not the module (exception: F-14 which is what AI RIO is for). VAICOM is mostly used for comms, which is straight DCS. I'll give it a try to be sure, though. You should be able to test it with free VAICOM. from the FAQ page Q: Can I use it with my favourite DCS module? A: Yes. The FREE version supports a specific range of DCS aircraft. The PRO version works with all DCS modules including future aircraft module releases. Refer to the Features page to see the supported modules listing. EDIT: While the A-4 doesn't use radio comms, I just confirmed that VAICOM works with the ground crew interaction. I just used it to place/remove wheelchocks and rearm. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
