Colvike Posted October 28, 2022 Author Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks. I hope VAICOM is working on an update.
MAXsenna Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks. I hope VAICOM is working on an update. VAICOM had a single dev we've not heard from for nine months, so you shouldn't get your hopes up.ED changed something in the core that broke it. Too bad, but what can you do.

PreussLee Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Same here, VAICOM doesn't work anymore and it messes with the ingame COMMS menu. I didn't have to uninstall VAICOM, but had to do a DCS repair to get the COMMS menu back. Since I know that the dev been quiet for a while and everyone has been in the update loop I kinda ecpected this someday to happen. Still, makes me really sad because I can't imagine flying the Tomcat without AIRO anymore We get used to this stuff way to quick... 3 i7 6700k @ 4,5 Ghz | MSI 1080ti Aero | 32 GB RAM 2133 | 500 GB SSD | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | HTC Vive |:pilotfly:
450Devil Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Had the same problem. No Comms menu. Uninstalled VIACOM PRO and repaired DCS OB. Then booted up DCS OB and all was OK until I started VA. Then no Comms menu. It appears to be VA that is causing the DCS OB menu to not work because I can start DCS OB and all is OK but when I boot up VA the DCS Comms menu then no longer works - shutting down VA without coming out of DCS OB then allows the Comms menu to show / work.

kersaint Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Hello, yes same problem with voiceattack. What a disaster. I shouldn't have done this update, but we're not soothsayers. 1
plobue Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Removed VAICOM, removed VA, did several slow repairs, still nothing. Deleted anything that was voiceattack or VAICOM, uninstalled DCS, reinstalled, did a slow repair, still no comms menus in the air. Any help is appreciated. Edited October 29, 2022 by plobue

Only delete Vaicom Pro and do a slow repair. You will be good then...VoiceAttack will work and comms menu.

Anyway I attached my some what working file for you to try maybe together we can find the Auto menu part and FIX it... Your file seems to work for me. It gets the radio menus working, but I haven't done enough to be able to tell whether it's in auto mode. Will do more checking tomorrow.

Yes I did as soon as I enabled the VAICOM PRO it started that silly Menu popup Crap so it is Def Pro causing the issue but Not sure how to fix that I still have VA working so can fly for now. I will work on it some more tonight after work I'm whipped spent too many hrs on this Crap tonight 7+ now...lol TTYL..
MAXsenna Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 ED changed something that prevents VAICOM from communicating with DCS.Don't ask me why they would do such a thing.A simple repair will fix the radio... file. But you must not start VA again if you haven't "removed" VAICOM. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Hi MAXsenna, where would I find the export.lua file and how would I uncomment it?

kersaint Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Hello, why do we have to suffer this kind of incident, the goal I do not know, I paid all my modules in I hear that they must work without defects, I will not uninstall VA, I use it with Elite dangerous, il2 sturmovik, and others that they have never created problems with VA. for now it is DCS that I put in oblivion, and if I have to uninstall something, it will be DCS.
Hive Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Relax guys! There is already a fix and VAICOM is now under general public license. Soon it might be even better than ever before: 2
