Jayhawk1971 Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Just updated DCS to 2.8, and not I can no longer use AIRIO in the Tomcat. It worked well with 2.7, I did not touch a thing, and did what I always do when applying a DCS patch. It says "Easy comms on" (they're off in the DCS options menu, and every time I try to talk to Jester I get "AIRIO commands not available" (or some such). Does AIRIO work for anyone else after today's patch? If so, what are your settings?
Lt_Jaeger Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Not only the F-14 but no module any more. Take a look at the config window, no module is identified. 1
Shaneuk Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Same here! Can't get any of the modules to work. 1
Lt_Jaeger Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Damn, that's it for me. I fly the Tomcat almost exclusively, but no Vaicom, no jester, no Tomcat, no flying. 1

jingwe Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 mine is the same, and i cant even get the comms menu to appear in vr so stuck
Scotia Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 It's completely broken. VAICOM AIRIO Kneeboard Addressing that VAICOM uses for most of this stuff must have changed. This might be the VAICOM killer patch. Reccomend y'all look at Bailey's VA Profile: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308776/. It might be the only game in town if we can't community fix VAICOM. 1 Former USN F/A-18E/F Avionics Tech @ VFA-103 & VFA-106 Former T-34C & T-44A/C Plane Captain
FurtFan Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Same here. After leaving a multiplayer server and activatet VAICOM DCS identifyed some JESTER-files as "tainted". Edited October 28, 2022 by FurtFan
Goliathus Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Yup, looks like this is it for the Vaicom Pro. This is a HUGE loss
tomcat_driver Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) I'm sorry to say, but this would happen sooner or later. Let's face it, it's an abandoned third-party software. Edited October 31, 2022 by tomcat_driver 6
FurtFan Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 I don't think so. in the past, the software was always updated.
FurtFan Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 An other thing with VAICOM: After using VAICOM with 2.8 i cant open the communication-menu. After an slow DCS-repair it works again 1
dburne Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Yikes this is so not good. Don't know what I will do without Vaicom, guess I will have to build my own Voice Attack profiles now. I am seriously going to miss Vaicom for sure. Too bad. I guess on the bright side at least for me, currently I am only using a couple of modules. Hornet and Apache. I plan to eventually also get back to KA-50 when we get the new V3 of it.

Jayhawk1971 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Posted October 28, 2022 Has anyone checked if Voice Attack is at least working? I have nothing set up outside of Vaicom, and I'm currently running a slow repair. If anyone with an already set up VA profile could quickly jump into DCS and check, that would be great. vor 1 Minute schrieb doomie: You may have to comment out / remove the viacom entry within the export.lua file to completely disable & remove from DCS. Thanks for the heads up! Slow repair is still repairing.....slooooooooooooooowllllllyyyyyyyyyyy. 1
Jayhawk1971 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Posted October 28, 2022 Just been over at the inofficial Vaicom discord, and found this post by Folgers: Zitat Regarding the lua issue, SRS discord has sugested moving the luas out of the saved games folder and into the DCS root scripts folder [22:48] Perhaps give that a try with vaicom luas Anyone know which root folder exactly? Might be worth a try..... 1

BMGZ06 Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 does anyone know the right way to move all the vaicom files and folder from the saved games folder tot eh root ED scripts and mods/tech directory to see if that will work? i cant just copy paste them as it forces itself back in the saved games directory System Specs: 13900K, Strix Z790 Gaming E, MSI 4090 Sprim Liquid X OC'd, 64gb Gskill Trident Z DDR5, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 SSD,.
