dawgie79 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Since VAICOM more and more seems like abandonware unfortunately, I would really like it if ED picks up this torch and develops support for spoken radio commands themselves. Slightly offtopic: Together with this wish I would like it if they add all radio messages to a special kneeboard page. That way the VR-crowd is catered fully. That's it. Thanks in advance. Any and all opinions are welcome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Jaeger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I don't see ED talking it over, but would love to be proven wrong or Vaicom pick up their game again. For me losing VAICOM would be a desaster. Edited August 3, 2022 by Lt_Jaeger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgie79 Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Not taking over VAICOM but incorporate it (newly developed) with the new ATC comms ED is working on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Since DCS is Windows exclusive, ED might be able to build on the Windows voice recognition API. That way they would not have to do the heavy lifting themselfes. I think it's considered part of the windows paltform and free to use for devs to implement and users to... well... use. 2 My personal wishlist after half a decade with DCS: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/184968-my-personal-wishlist-after-half-a-decade-with-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what VoiceAttack is using. Buuuuut, probably nothing does it better than VoiceAttack though. VAICOM is just a plugin for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Very sad to see Vaicom not getting any attention from the dev for so long. I just hope all is well with him. I fly exclusively in VR and Vaicom Pro has been a tremendous benefit for me, hard to imagine having to do without but as the game keeps getting updated and more stuff maybe gets broken in Vaicom, we won't have much choice. I do wish ED could offer a similar program built into the sim, that would be ideal. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm back in 2.5.24 and everything works in the Mirage F1, but I guess Hind/Apache, new stuff for Jester won't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Yeah and it is still offered for sale at the Vaicom website. Very strange. Unless something has happened and no one else knows how to reach out here. Again I just really hope he is ok. Not sure I could recommend anyone to purchase this at this time.

Cathnan Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Damn that would really suck if Vaicom would disappear. I hope it's just a major rewrite or something along those lines like Skatezilla's updater. However, yes would be awesome if ED would integrate it as part of the core 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerzone Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 My first preference is for Viacom to succeed.. Personally I don't see ED picking this up, not at least for a long time. They have more than enough to do already that would be considered higher priority, but then again - they did decide to have a go at radio coms even though we had SRS, so who knows. My personal favorite would be for the developer of VAICOM to release the source code if they're not going to be maintaining it and allow the community to continue it's development, or otherwise have a new mod that is open source / community created. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
