Remember to tune radios and select command.

All I can think of.

If you tune the radio to the wrong frequency, Voice Attack/VAICOM Pro will still recognise the command, but you will get no response from DCS.

 

To make it an easier transition to full manual tuning, I've found the "Select tunes radio" option in Vaicom Pro very useful. For that, you just need to say something like "Tanker Select" and the radio is automatically tuned to the tanker, or "Batumi Select" and the ATC frequency of Batumi is automatically dialled in. You can select just about any object, including JTAC, by "JTAC" or a name, such as "Warrior" or "Axeman" as appropriate.

You also need to use the PTT for the proper radio when using SELECT or when transmitting.

Thanks all for the help

do you mean the TX Buttons ?

[Greyman]

Yes. For each module, there will be a PTT/TX button for each radio and you will need to press the right one to transmit over your desired radio. Press and hold, speak and then release.
