fabio.dangelo Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I'm seriously considering abandoning Vaicom.... More and more problems with every DCS release. Yesterday I had to fight to get something vaguely working with Apache and today after the update no longer detects any aircraft!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work, restart VA while in a mission, and then try clicking a TX again. Every mission I have now, it takes VAICOM 30 seconds to recognize the module. That's why I always run and start VA through the VAICOM tray app. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio.dangelo Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 I reset everything and now it recognises all the modules. But the problem with Apache remained... both with easy comm ON and off. Is there any workaround or should I just wait for a new patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Hollywood even reads these threads any more.

Dangerzone Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Yes - I'm gutted by the lack of updates with Vaicom. I have grown to love it and be quite dependent on it. I've even toyed with the idea of wondering how difficult it would be to replicate a similar voice attack plugin and hooking into the lua exports and making something open source. It seems that streamdeck users have the ability to use DCS codes to connect with via export hooks, and I'm guessing VAICOM uses standard/available codes that don't require access to the SDK, so it seems it should be possible. Just a question of how much effort. Personally I'd prefer to see Vaicom succeed. It's a wonderful tool (when it works correctly) and I'd like to see the developer benefit from their hard work (and users who have purchased it benefit from their purchase) - but if it's going to end up being abandonware - I think DCS deserves something that will continue to perform the same functionality moving forward instead of seeing these features slowly disappear due to incompatibilities with future DCS updates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems we kind of "lost" Hollywood when that kicked in.We already had AIRIO, but we did get Carrier ATC and kneeboard the last two years, . so who knows what's cooking.
