Mangrove Jack Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 Was not sure where to post this so if in wrong place it could be moved. When I 1st get into a mission I need to press the Comms Menu key ("\") twice to get the menu up. It also seems to happen at other times (not sure yet if it is time related yet). This has always been the case over many years. Yet if I use it and exit it or it goes away and a short time later I want to use it again it needs only 1 press. Yet others I have talked with only need 1 press to bring menu up. Is anyone able to clarify if this is not normal or what issue may be? This will impact commands in Voice Attack hence why I would like to find the answer. Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB

This will impact commands in Voice Attack hence why I would like to find the answer. I only use it for test purposes, but I only need to press it once, and I always use F12 to exit. Anyway that command is for ground crew only now. You need RAlt + \ to get the radio going in the air, and other key combos or multiple radios. Anyway. Unless you have already done so. You should consider trying the free version of the plugin VAICOM for VoiceAttack, and you won't have to worry about these keypresses anymore. Cheers
Mangrove Jack Posted August 14, 2022 Author Posted August 14, 2022 Thanks Max. Yep am aware of Vaicom and in fact I use it. However, I am trying to help friend out who does not have Vaicom and does not intend to use at this point. So I imported his profile but I had problem around command that brings up comms the menu key as for whatever reason I need to press the "\" twice in 1st instance. Then I only need to press once when recently used the menu. Obviously this has impact on a VA command. The issue around 2 presses for me is years old and I don't understand it, so I thought I may try and find an answer to it - hence my post. 1 Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB

MAXsenna Posted August 14, 2022 Posted August 14, 2022 Right. I'm asking because they did a change a while back, so to bring up the comms menu for ground/intercom you press "\", but to get the radio menu you have to press "RAlt + \", have you tried that as a work around?
Mangrove Jack Posted August 14, 2022 Author Posted August 14, 2022 Max during today I tried a few experiments - after I read thought this thread (you actually commented in it).. I tested again the action of "\" menu key and in 1st instance of mission it needed 2 presses to get comms menu and then when trying it shortly thereafter it only needed 1 press. The I turned Vaicom off in installed modules restarted and tested Apache and FA18 and no issues only needed 1 press to get comms menu. VA not started at all. So then I rebooted game and turned Vaicom back on and exited sim. I started VA and it initialised Vaicom. Then I restated sim and went to Apache and it was back to needing 2 presses in initial instance to get comms menu up. So in my mind it has something to do with interaction of Vaicom. Note that I have not disabled menu in Vaicom settings. So for anyone that has menu disabled then they would never see this. PS. - I also tried RALT+\ and the 1st time that was used it took 2 presses and then only 1 press to get menu. Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB
MAXsenna Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I believe you're right. I'm testing things from time to time. And today I noticed it too. I also need two presses, so it could very well be a VAICOM issue.
Mangrove Jack Posted August 15, 2022 Author Posted August 15, 2022 Well I really just want to some things to help friend so for now I just need to temporarily remove Vaicom from VA. Do you happen to know if I can just drag it out of APPS in VA and then drop it back in after doing some work purely in VA? Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB
MAXsenna Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Never tried that. If I understand you correctly. It only needs one press, if you start DCS, without starting VoiceAttack? Then it should work by disabling the VAICOM plugin. You can do that through VoiceAttack. Go into the plugins settings, and just uncheck VAICOM. If that doesn't work, yes, then you should be able to just drag the folder to somewhere else. Cheers!

Mangrove Jack Posted August 18, 2022 Author Posted August 18, 2022 No not a repair. Just went into modules screen for sim and deactivated Vaicom. Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB
