Are you sure this is supposed to work?I have the rel/hot checked, but that's only for VoiceAttack commands and AIRIO.What does the manual say?Cheers!

HvanE Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Indeed, HotMic is only for VA commands and when checked works perfectly. Unfortunately when checked it blocks all outgoing VAICOM PTT transmissions. The manual implies this should not happen.. Regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunX Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Just happened to be reading the manual and noticed this note in the "New in this Version" section at the top. I don't fly the F14 so not sure what this means.. Tomcat pilots’ reminder: from plugin version 2.5.23 onwards to enable/disable ICS Hot Mic you must use the in-cockpit switch; selecting hot mic in the configuration window is no longer applicable RYZEN 5900X | 32GB | ASUS Strix RTX3090 | 500GB NVMe OS 1000GB NVMe DCS | Warthog HOTAS | HP Reverb G2 | VA & ViacomPRO My DCS Apps: Radio KAOS for DCS KB Quick - Quick and Easy Kneeboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards.Do you have debug enabled in the VAICOM control panel?And what's in the VA log?It's working fine for me, so it's probably some minor issue.Did it just stop working?Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HvanE Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Thank you, I’ll follow up on your suggestion and enable Debug and check the log. I have only recently installed VAICOM Pro and had not activated the HotMic until recently. I’ll keep you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HvanE Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 The Debug Log seems to suggest ATC did respond to my request, however, this was not reflected on the ATC page of my KB, nor transmitted through my VR headset (Vive Pro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 That's odd. Any audio redirection going on?Have you turned off text? If yes, I suggest you turn it on again until you have figured out the audio.Can't remember if there is a volume knob on the F-5, but I struggled a lot in the Mig-19 at first, until I discovered that radio volume is off when cold starting.

HvanE Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks, I’ll give it a go.. Also noticed the following showing up on VA “.. will generate a red log message stating “the command … etc”., which is puzzling because I do use the PTT to transmit same. thanks for You assistance. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AG-51_Endo Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I’ve noticed that the Rel/Hot function seems to block Viacom AI comms. In VA I get ‘disabled for this session’ when I try to comm anything but VA cockpit commands all work (Bailey’s profile daisy chained to Viacom DCS profile). This is in multiplayer with SRS. I’m in Broadcast mode, integrated to SRS so squad can hear AI comms from me. I mapped a hot key button and use that for cockpit / non SRS and it works great, but just curious that the function doesn’t seem to work in MP. Works fine in single player.

AG-51_Endo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Correct, only in MP. Leads me to believe the issue is SRS related but I dunno. Can't see anything in SRS that inhibits VIacom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I have issues with REL/HOT on the latest version. I need to press a TX5, didn't have to before. It works for a while if I turn it off and then back again.I don't do MP really, so I have no clue if it's related.

AG-51_Endo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Sounds the same or similar. So you have TX5 mapped in where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Well, depends on the module. I have mapped TX5 globally on my Warthog. In modules without intercom it doesn't work of course. You see I use different hardware for different modules, so a TX1 in the Sabre will be a button on my Warthog, a different in the Warthog module, button on my Cougar in the Viper and Jeff, and a trigger on my MSFS in most helis. Not many modules have intercom actually, that's where REL/HOT was really handy with the cockpit open. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
