Further up in the thread, I saw the comment about checking the "allow other commands to run" on my other commands. I tried that and it hasn't happened since. I haven't flown a lot, but it was happening regularly.

Well, when you reset anything in the VAICOM control panel, it will not change anything in VoiceAttack nor the VAICOM VoiceAttack profile.
In any case. Seems it is solved for you then, which is good, but there shouldn't be any need to change anything in the default profile.
Cheers!

Hello everyone,

the thread is already older, but if it helps anyone, here is my solution to the problem.

I also use the Warthog Throttle and have noticed that the radio switch sometimes triggers two key presses at the same time (e.g., when you rotate it quickly). When that happens, VA/VP gets out of sync.

Therefore, I added a safety check for the push-to-talk commands. It is important that for these commands, the simultaneous execution of other commands is disabled (so that the entire code is executed atomically and no race conditions can occur when checking the variable).

In the two screenshots, you can see an example for "press" and "release" respectively. This needs to be implemented accordingly for all used channels (adjust the variable value accordingly). The command sequence can be supplemented via "Other > Advanced". The variable TXACTIVE holds the channel that is currently being transmitted on (e.g., 3 for TX3). Thus, only one channel can be transmitted on at the same time.

This workaround works quite well for me. I hope it can also be useful for someone else.

Best regards,
Azmo

Probably as it's a Voice Attack profile setting, I'll have to look into it further. Let me know if it helps with your situation.

seems to have done! I'm always slightly cautious because proving something not happening is "hard"

So I have now done four big ish missions no comms lock outs any of them, I would have expected it at least once…

I'll try that nifty fix myself. Wil take some time as I've multiple TX entries for various modules.

How do you do that? Create different tx entries for different jets?

Exposed variables. I thought we had discussed this before.
Anyway, here's a link. I've written a tiny tutorial, and in one post there's an old profile of mine you can have a look at and just copy what you need from.

Cheers!

Out of interest what hardware are you using for you PTT device?

A four way hat + depress on my virpil cm3 throttle

Ok Thanks, Just seeing if it was confined to the Warthog
