"377 missing aliases"

[kingfish]

This is possibly a "Just dont worry about it" issue:

 

VAICOM generally works fine for me (normal stuff, AIRIO, and carrier ATC), but when I hit "test" in the editor panel, it shows a bunch of missing aliases followed by "377 missing aliases in VA profile VAICOM PRO for DCS World." I've tried repeating the FINISH steps again to see if that would help, but it doesn't change anything. Have I messed something up, or should I just not worry about it as long as everything seems to be functioning?

If you have not added a load of your own aliases try resetting the VAICOM database

What hornblower says, if needed get a fresh .vap profile using Config/export and import in VA.

Then apply FINISH steps.

I freshly installed and it says 78 missing aliases to begin with. Salute, Request launch not working for example

And yes I got the RealATC License installed.

Did you do the "Finish" step? If you did that after installing a fresh profile and still have the problem then I suspect you have a corrupted keyword database. This happens occasionally for reasons I don't understand. You need to do a reset on the database. (In fact, I've generally found that it's rarely the profile that is the problem, but rather the database.) Also, if you have a bunch of aliases imported from the F10 menu then you may have to delete those and recreate them. These are matched to actions via internal IDs and I suspect those sometimes change when a mission or DCS is updated.

As several people have the same problems right after the Update, I am pretty sure that this is not an individual, user related, database corruption.

Press the Test button on the Configuration window , a number of  missing aliases will show at the bottom, Hit the Windows key + V to get the clipboard and you'll see a list of the Aliases that are missing

So. What I did, copy out those keywords an manually added each single one, painstakingly, in the multi line.

For reference. When I first posted, that was a fresh install of VA and VIACOM as I never owned both beforehand.
