markturner1960 Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 Hi, having some issues getting the commands recognized. I have the tanker correctly set at 251.00 ( on both radios), when I press comm 1 or 2 on this channel and use the correct command, DCS responds correctly by bringing up the comms menu, the commands are recognized correctly according to the readout in vaicom window, but tanker does not respond. I get this when I use "Approaching for refuel" : Recognized confidence 98, then a red square saying "PTT use an active TX node" The tanker does not respond. If I bypass this step by flying closer, manually select the tanker from the comms menu and press "intent to refuel" then proceed to pre contact position, when I try and use VAICOM for the "ready pre contact" command, I then get this: "recognized ready pre contact 98%" & a red square saying "there are no tanker recipients available" So 2 questions: why am I getting 2 different errors? first one seems to be saying I not using correct PTT button, yet using the same button on the next stage it seems fine, but the tanker is not on that frequency. Using a completely manual procedure, IE mouse and menu, it all works fine, so I know the radio is correctly tuned..... Any ideas?

sthompson Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 I suggest you turn on debug mode and then post what is showing up in the VoiceAttack recognition log when you give these commands. Debug mode will show more information about how VAICOM is interpreting the commands. Also, show us what your VAICOM PTT, Preferences, and Config tabs look like. Make sure you are still flying when you take a screenshot of the PTT tab. Also, is VAICOM PRO working properly otherwise? 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

=Panther= Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Just a guess, but sounds like an issue with Tanker type and not Vaicom issue. If you're attempting to refuel from a tanker that is not compatible with your airframe, you will get no response from the tanker. Example, KC-135MPRS will only refuel aircraft that have a probe e.g. Hornet, Tomcat, Harrier etc. KC-135 (without MPRS) will refuel the remaining airframes like Viper, Warthog, Eagle etc. 1 Twitch Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Z390 Aorus Xtreme, i9 9900k, G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB, 1080ti 11GB, Obutto R3Volution, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TPR, Cougar MFDs, FSSB R3L, JetSeat, Oculus Rift S, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, F/A-18C UFC, Tek Creations F-16 ICP
markturner1960 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Posted May 10, 2021 I did post up what was in the recognition log, see above. I also dont think its a tanker issue as I can make it all work using the menus... I tried with another mission and it all works OK< so a bit of a mystery....anyway, thanks for the advice, System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.

And there should be additional entries if you had the debug feature turned on when the errors occured. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.
