jparker36 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Having an issue w/ the P51. I use easy comms, and all works fine in the F16. Pressing my ptt button transmits on TX4 and sends to the correct place. PTT button also works in the menu - I can hear the radio click. However, as soon as I spawn in a P51, the PTT button does nothing anymore. Voiceattack shows 'transmit tx4 press' and 'transmit tx4 release', but no longer shows listening resumed or suspended, and vaicom panel shows no xmit input. Edit: found the answer, I had to use the up/down arrow in Vaicom to select tx4 on the radio list as p51 has only 1 radio.

hotstick Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I have a problem with Crystal Palace, impossible to hear. On several different solo missions. However, I do solicit it on COM1 (F/A-18C) on the frequency 142.000 Voice Attack tells me: TX1 COMM1: ARC-210 AM 142.000 Mhz tuned for auxiliary unit Crystal Palace [AI] then [Read mission Briefing] then Constructing message ... then Done But no audio feedback. Do you see a reason ? Thank you. Edited August 22, 2021 by hotstick http://51thMassilia.net France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hi Gents, Easy Comms is OFF in DCS. VAICOM PRO is running. Voice Attack listening page writes for all commands following error message: Command "......." is currently disabled for this session and was not executed. What am I doing wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice Attack listening page writes for all commands following error message: Command "......." is currently disabled for this session and was not executed. What am I doing wrong?You did nothing wrong. VAICOM turned very picky after 2.5.25, and for me it's a miss or hit. Downgrade to 2.5.24 if you have serious issues, and don't mind the kneeboard to be a little stubborn. Make sure you're using correct frequencies and the select command to the correct recipient. Keep the TX pressed longer than before. That's my tips. Not everyone have this issue, but I do often. I made a thread about it.Cheers!

Razor18 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Thanks. After downgrading and restarting, it says "2.25.3 is available, listing DCS 2.7 compatibility". Will the lack of this update cause me any problem with DCS 2.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the lack of this update cause me any problem with DCS 2.7?I have no issues. There were some fixes to the kneeboard. But I have very few issues.If you don't disable the update in preferences, VAICOM will ask you on every start of VA.

foobolt Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I have recently started using Vaicom.I'm enjoying the very nice voice recognition commands. But I am having one problem. I give the command "Make Recon x Mile" in Ka-50, but the DCS wingman does not respond at all. For all other commands, the wingman responds very well. Also, when I issue commands by keyboard operation from the radio menu, reconnaissance is performed with no problem at all. Why does only reconnaissance voice command not work? Also, I am wondering about the difference in the unit system, which is "km" in the communication menu, but "mile" in the Vaicom command. Any help here would be much appreciated!

MAXsenna Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Because the command is wrong. Many of the VAICOM commands are VERY different from text in the radio menu.Correct command is:Kick out to xx milesHope this helps!Cheers!

I was writing the content of the command. What I'm actually pronouncing is "kick out to" as you wrote it. I'll attach a screenshot, in VoiceAttack's operation, it seems to recognize the voice and send the command successfully. However, I am having trouble with the DCS wingman because he does not react in any way. Why do they obey orders to formations, attack, etc. properly, but do not do reconnaissance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colmillo Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi @Hollywood_315 (and everyone) I found something curious in the behavior of the program. After many tests and troubleshooting, I managed to discover that if in the dedicated server that we have with my squad, we left the advanced settings "allow player export" unticked, the following voice actions doesn't work: - "Request rearming" - "Options" Probably other commands may have the same problem, we do not check all of them. We did the test on 4 different dedicated servers and the problem is the same. Hopefully you can help me with this.

On the MP server, the setting Allow Player Export must be enabled. VAICOM cannot get all of the required info about game status if it's disabled. I'm not familiar with the specifics but I believe this is a limitation of DCS, which blocks access to certain data when export is disabled. 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

That due to recent changes in VoiceAttack it now gets installed in a different directory than before and the VAICOM installer has not caught up. The workaround is to download the ZIP file for VAICOM and unzip it to the right location instead of using the VAICOM installer. 1 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

skypickle Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 question about the Audio tab in voice attack options I am on the latest version 1.8.9 64 bit Audio Output type allows 'integrated components' to be selected. I assume this is all the usb output devices, sound cards etc. When set to integrated devices, then the two dropdowns take effect: Override default playback device Override Default text-to-Speech Device But further down in the same window are 4 checkboxes - the first one titled 'Set Windows Default Multimedia....' (see attached pic) If I have the audio output type set to 'Integrated components' and the 'Overide...' dropdowns set to a specific device, What is the purpose of these 4 checkboxes? Dont the first two dropdowns do the same thing? Also, since VA is a text-to-speech app, How are these choices different: Override default playback device Override Default text-to-Speech Device If they are set to different devices, do the beeps go to the device set by the first dropdown and the spoken words to the second? Since I use VA for various purposes, is there a way to have it switch to my VR headset automatically when it is active and then back to my regular headset when it is not? 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ares63 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) PTT is not working fine with WWII plane and SRS (tested with P51 and Mosquito) I set Radio1 and radio2 keys in SRS, not immediately but after few minutes that the plane is started up when RADIO1 or radio2 is depressed it stay ON until the other radio is depressed ... this it mean that for switch off one radio you switch on the other one, this is what it happen in SRS but ONLY IF VAICOM is running (modificato) Edited September 26, 2021 by Ares63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
