ESzczesniak Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Let me start this by saying that I am completely new to VoiceAttack and VAICOM. While I am sure I will find them useful everywhere, I got them specifically for communicating in the pattern with the new Supercarrier. I have purchased all the licences, activated them, and selected "extended command set". I have been testing this on the Caucasus Supercarier Case I mission from DCS. I have the carrier tuned on Channel 1, 127.500 MHz per mission. At present while ironing this stuff out, I am using easy comms in DCS and VAICOM (when not troubleshooting, this is usually off). I am only getting transmissions to go through if I say "Nearest carrier, xxx". In the event window, I it logged at mission start that nearest ATC is "Arleigh Burke FltIIa". And if I don't say "nearest carrier", the log window reports "ATC type not supercarrier". I'm sure it's something really stupid, but what am I doing wrong? I thought by tuning to the carrier frequency, I would have that selected? But it seems stuck on the Arleigh Burke?

Hollywood_315 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 As hornblower says, you are tuned to a support vessel on the same freq. , not the Supercarrier unit itself. Use e.g. 'Washington, .. Select' to set your dialog to the actual supercarrier. There is no spoon. VAICOM PRO plugin for DCS World www.vaicompro.com
ESzczesniak Posted June 1, 2020 Author Posted June 1, 2020 Thank you, didn't realize the easy comms would actually make this trickier in this case. I wanted to make things easy to get the basics up and running. Probably the simplest at the moment is for me to just turn off easy comms again then. What's the nomenclature for selecting the carrier? I don't see "Washington" in the key phrase list, so I'm not sure how this command works. Or are you saying that's the and is there a list of the names for the carriers that work to select? Or just carrier?
hornblower793 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Are you looking in the list in VA or in the Editor tab in the VAICOM config screens? If the first of these you probably need to go to the Editor tab, click the FINISH button (if it is yellow) and then follow the instructions that appear.
