okmerflow Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 He guys, I can use my comms menu on the ground but when I start flying it's stops working. I'm using Vaicom Pro to call up the menu (which never caused any problems) but even the default keybindings (L Alt+\ , \ or LShift spacebar) is (almost) completly dead. Sometimes when pressing it like 10 times it pops up. So it's completly random. Once I'm on the ground again it seems to work properly. Not sure if it's only Apache related but I don't have this problem with other aircrafts... Anyone else experience this problem? Cheers!
ED Team Solution BIGNEWY Posted March 30, 2022 ED Team Solution Posted March 30, 2022 Hi, the comms menu does not work when in the air, it is a ground comms menu only. Use the aircrafts mics to use the radio while in the air. thanks 2 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

I think I have had this using viacom with the command "Options" not working all the time. I had assumed it was a viacom problem as I have it to not show the menus. This solution makes sense. Is that how you have you have your VP set? I've had problems in the hind not showing the menu to choose cargo when under slinging (again via VP), must be because it is calling the comms menu and not the radio one. 1
okmerflow Posted March 30, 2022 Author Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Thanks for your reply guys! What "aircraft mics" in the Apache am I looking for to make it work? I must be overlooking it, but can't seem to find it... Cheers! Edited March 30, 2022 by okmerflow

This module seem to also have secondary ones for VOIP, but I've not tried/bound those yet. 1
spikenet Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 I had same problem trying to rearm in the farp, for the life of me couldn't bring up the menu. I put it down to vaicom.. I have similar problem in the huey but press the comms key a bunch of times from the right hand seat then it works. 1
okmerflow Posted March 30, 2022 Author Posted March 30, 2022 Alright, appreciate it! I'll have a look

I actually have disabled Vaicom at the moment while flying with the Apache. I'm going to want it back again (love it when flying the FA18 off and back on the deck of the Supercarrier, among other things) but yeah - it's got an inheritent problem with the in game menu for some reason. Symptoms include the menu appearing randomly (which is normally fixed with an update or doing the usual 'fixes') but keeps returning after other updates, or as in your mentioned case - unable to access any COM menu's while in flight while it's activated. There's obviously some base link between coms menu and Vaicom - and the way it's done is obviously in such a way that it can interfere with normal operations if not exactly right. I'm guessing Vaicom doesn't have access to the SDK so are doing their best without it maybe? 1 1
okmerflow Posted April 3, 2022 Author Posted April 3, 2022 Yeah indeed I hope there will be a fix soon. Until then I will stop using Vaicom as well. The problem occurs (I think) when in MP or hosting a session. In single player I don't have these issues. Let's see
maverick8717 Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) so I am also having the issue with the radio menu not coming up while flying, works great on the ground. (I fly the hornet) any solution here? this just quit working for me after the mar 17 update. Edited March 21, 2023 by maverick8717
