VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack

[TAW_Impalor]

Dear Hollywood, I long tried to understand how to create new aliases. The manual says 'Use the Keyword editor to change the phrase into something that is better recognized by the engine (PRO license feature)' with no further details. Say, I want 'in the break' to be an alias to 'Kiss off'. I choose 'Kiss off', press 'Add new', it creates 'Kiss off1'. Now what? I can't rename it into 'In the break'...

On my copy I have just tried to do what you did using these steps:

 

1. Select Kiss off

2. Press ADD NEW and I get Kiss off1

3. Click at the start of the line so that no letters are highlighted (in front of the K)

4. Type in your new name and then delete Kiss off1

5. Press APPLY

6. You will then need to finish etc.

The command "Request Launch" comes up as unrecognized in VA.

7:23:34.607 Unrecognized : 'request launch'

 

Just me?

 

NEVERMIND: Did the "Finish ctrl v" thing again. Works now :thumbup:

@Hollywood

Bought the Realistic ATC licence. Followed the directions to finish the key words. After I ctrl-a, delete and ctrl+v, I get an error message "The profile already contains spoken phrase 'my target'. Please choose a different one."

 

I did not add 'my target'. How should I proceed?

 

 

Thanks,

STGChamby

 

So I reset the keyword database. No luck. I found the keyword that was duplicate 'my target' in the list. Deleted it. Did the 'Finish' process again and it works.

 

Since the 'My target' came with the database and was a multipart, did I lose anything?

I have a beef. I bought vaicom a couple months back and it’s been great. I would probably buy the atc voice update when I feel that it added more than a couple commands, but now I’m a little upset. After a update this afternoon commands that worked fine yesterday now require me to purchase the atc pack. I can no longer call inbound on the Roosevelt but yesterday I could. Please tell me this is a mistake. I understand how new commands might require purchase, but to take away commands?

 

Not happy at this moment.

Going back to the previous version

Still get this problem. On Persian Gulf, Normandy maps, and in some Caucasus missions. AIRIO commands are not available. In bouth Stable and Openbeta versions.

 

All works ok in Nevada map. Partly ok on Caucasus

 

Any ideas are welcome.

..and you have deleted the export.lua file, in your ..../saved games/<DCS folder>/Scripts folder and restarted VA?

 

Also, are you running VA in Administrator mode?

 

Sorry if the answers to the above are an obvious "yes", but still safer to make sure.

Yes. No results.

I think it's Map-side problem, because all works good in Nevada and Caucasus (partly)

[Ala12Rv-Tundra]

Upgraded today with AIRIO and ATC.

How should I config the preferences if I still want DCS comms menu to appear when I press my VA PTT hotas buttons?

[480th-BRAVO]

Depends on your install specifics, if you have issues after update run a DCS Repair, select DCS version with the sliders (Custom tab) and then set DCS World program files folder with Custom Path.

Then restart VA and DCS.

 

Hi Hollywood. Have done the update and verified files but still getting stuck at 10%. Am running Open Beta on steam. Any ideas what my next step should be as I don't know where you're selecting sliders in the custom tab...

 

Thanks!

[ZoneySD]

When I'm inbound to the carrier (SC), and I call in "Inbound to Carrier" or "Inbound" I'm instructed to "Go to alternate." If I use the menu threads, it works fine. Am I doing something incorrect?

 

Also, can't get "Salute" to work. I appreciate the help.

[Vassilli]

Fixed it!!! Open the Config tab in the configurator, make sure you have open beta and the steam version selected on the slider.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but AOCS will only work on 284.00 AM in the hornet radios, comm-1/2.

(2.5.5 or 2.5.6ob). If I try 071.00 or 142.00 the (:AM) doesn't show and is blanked out. Easy comms off.

 

After trying on 071.00 for several attempts and much troubleshooting, thinking it was another problem, I decided to try the other two frequencies. That's when it manifested that only 284.00 worked. I'm fine with using only one freq, but I wanted to report my experience.

 

Note: I've only tried AOCS in the F-18 thus far. Also, this is with manual tuning. I haven't tried setting up presets in the mission editor.

Thanks.

 

Edit: Just downloaded the latest patch and gave it a try. Now 142.00 is working as well, but not 071.00.

So at least I now have two working frequencies to chose from, which is nice.

071.00 will not work in the F-18 because the radios do not support that frequency band (same will be true in some other planes as well). For each airframe you fly check the manual / Chuck's guide to confirm which will work.

Have you tried voice training salute?

If you run VA without DCS does it recognise tye command? If not already doing so, it kight be worth running Vaicom in debug mode to see extra information in the VA log window

Hey guys! I installed VAICOM and VoiceAttack following the instructions and all looks fine. Both are in PRO version that I just purchased. However, with VoiceAttack and VAICOM installed, DCS would not start (it gets stuck at 10% at the initial loading screen).

 

If I repair the DCS install, it finds two files named "Speech" which I guess are related to VAICOM. If I delete them, DCS works again but I guess VAICOM won't work.

 

Do you have any clue on how to solve it?

Have you set the standalone / steam and stable / openbeta sliders on the config tab to match your installation?

I didn't! As soon as I have time I will test it, I knew the solution had to be simple.

 

Thanks buddy.

 

EDIT: It is working now! Thanks, I tried with AAR and is working great.

 

However, I am trying to use the voice training in Windows but I have my Windows in Spanish so I guess it would be useless to do it. I have tried changing the voice recognition in Windows to English, but when I try to start the voice training a pop-up shows telling me that the speech recognition should be in the SE language as Windows.

 

How can I circumvent this?

Hi,

 

I have a small issue in the F14B with the radio calls for TACAN.

 

If I have both the Stennis and the Theodore R on the map (different TACAN stations) and make the call 'TACAN Tune Stennis'. The RIO tunes the TACAN to the Theodore R and not the Stennis. It is not a huge issue as I can get him to tune correctly by calling the station numbers (TACAN Tune X-Ray 027 or X-Ray 011).

 

On a related note will we be able to call the ship names in future releases?

 

EDIT : I have VA Licenced, VAICOM Pro and all plugins licenced and installed!

If you are using Windows voice recognition I think the language has to match that of Windows (thanks to Microsoft). Might be worth seeing if the VAICOM VSPX option gets round this

I have the same problem but everything is set right like you said to do and it still gets stuck at 10 percent.

[480th-BRAVO]

Fixed it!!! Open the Config tab in the configurator, make sure you have open beta and the steam version selected on the slider.

 

This sorted largely sorted it for me! Thanks Vasilli! I would have spent forever looking for them!

 

I set the sliders, restarted V/A and Vaicom (obvs!) and then repaired DCS (again). Since then it’s working.

You need to do a DCS Repair after you have set the sliders as they should be.

Apologies for the simple question, but after setting these, have you closed both DCS and VA, run a DCS repair, restarted VA and then tried going into DCS again?
