VF31_Subsonic Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Great program, essential for the tomcat! I would like to request a return to the ability to select hot mic in the pit switch to not become hot mic for viacom and ai rio commands. When flying with a human rio, this makes hot mic between crew members unusable. thanks! VF-31 Tomcatters http://www.csg-1.com/ | Discord
hornblower793 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Have you tried the Hot Rel option on the PTT tab of the Vaicom config screen. This leaves the system in listening mode for daisy chained profiles so you do not need to press a PTT key (Vaicom will ignore the message if no PTT is pressed)? This is not a solution to the Hot Mic switch, but may allow you to have a workaround in the meantime Edited February 10, 2021 by hornblower793 Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal

This is not a solution to the Hot Mic switch, but may allow you to have a workaround in the meantime I don't think that is a workaround. The problem is that while VA is in listening mode it keeps thinking it recognized something. This is true even if the words that are recognized are not valid commands so that VAICOM takes no action. You still get a lot of unnecessary activity, including sound cues, while this is happening. It's also an issue when you are taking a human RIO role since VAICOM does not respect the switch in the back seat and so you can't turn listening off when you are RIO. The workaround for me has been to never use hot mic. This requires binding a separate key for intercom if you want to communicate with your RIO in SRS. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.
