Vaicom Pro problems after DCS December patch


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, after the recent patch shortly before XMas I have had some unpleasant issues with Vaicom Pro and AIRIO:

1. At least on the Caucasus map, Jester won't tune TACAN correctly. Especially tanker.

Example from a couple of minutes ago, Heatblur "Reforger" Campaign, mission 2:

11:37:35.961 TX5 | ICS: [ Arco ] ,  [ TACAN Tune Arco ]   
11:37:35.946 Recognized : 'tacan tune arco'

The command is being recognized, but Jester either doesn't tune the correct frequency, or on other occasions choses the wrong band (X instead of Y, or the other way round), or he forgets to set the needles to the pilot cockpit.

2. Suddenly, AI radio commands are no longer executed, albeit recognized. I just get a beep, but nothing happens. Tried both radios for good measure, both giving a wingman command and contacting tanker to refuel:

11:43:44.805 TX1 | UHF ARC-159: [ Tanker ] ,  [ Intent to Refuel ]   
11:43:44.791 Recognized : 'arco approaching for refuel'
11:43:44.158 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release'
11:43:41.848 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press'
11:43:40.238 TX2 | VHF/UHF ARC-182: [ Tanker ] ,  [ Intent to Refuel ]   
11:43:40.227 Recognized : 'arco approaching for refuel'
11:43:39.847 Joystick : 'Transmit TX2 release'
11:43:37.388 Joystick : 'Transmit TX2 press'
11:43:26.591 TX2 | VHF/UHF ARC-182: [ Wingman 2 ] ,  [ Go Echelon Left ]   
11:43:26.576 Recognized : 'two go echelon left'
11:43:26.073 Joystick : 'Transmit TX2 release'
11:43:23.910 Joystick : 'Transmit TX2 press'
11:43:02.098 TX1 | UHF ARC-159: [ Wingman 2 ] ,  [ Go Echelon Left ]   
11:43:02.079 Recognized : 'two go echelon left'
11:43:01.527 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release'
11:42:59.467 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press'
11:42:33.942 TX2 | VHF/UHF ARC-182: [ Wingman 2 ] ,  [ Go Echelon Left ]   
 

Does anybody else have any of these issues? Everything worked fine before the latest DCS patch. The wingman radio thing happened today for the first time. 

I didn't change anything with DCS or Vaicom. 

Changes outside of DCS were a small Windows 10 update yesterday, as well as installing the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Lots of posts about various issues after latest patch. I have a feeling it has to do with the new Voice Chat update. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. 

Cheers!

I got the second issue "fixed" (if one can call it that): I contacted the AI via the comms menu, and ordered it around the old-fashioned way. After that, the radio voice commands suddenly worked again (wingman, tanker, SC atc....all worked again as it should). 🤷‍♂️

Nice find. I've seen it as well. It seems that the VAICOM commands get qeued up. So if you repeat them, (I do 😉), and suddenly you trigger something that "release"/makes the qeue progress, they all flood into action. 😊
