Tshark Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Gang, don't delete your Vaicom just yet. There is a fix that is being worked on in the Discord Vaicom community. They have got Vaicom working correctly again and are putting together a zipped file and install directions. It has been tested and everything seems to work. Should be out in a day or two. 11 4 i9 10900KF 3.70GHz (5.30GHz Turbo), MSI RTX 4090 OC 24GB, ASUS Z590-E GAMING Motherboard, CORSAIR Vengeance 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, 2TB Intel 660P M.2 NVMe SSD, Virpil Alpha Joystick, T-50CM3 Throttle, MFG Xwind rudder pedals, Pimax Crystal VR.

BMGZ06 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yup I was in the discord for a few hours with one of the guys that helped bring it back to life to test things out. Seems like everything besides the custom kneeboard is working so far in the F18 and F16 in SP and MP for me. 1 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,.

Goliathus Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This is why I regret being a lawyer instead of IT programmer While I was thinking about the intellectual property of Hollywood, someone actually found the solution. Well, as one use to say - lawyers can find a problem on any solution Great thanks to you guys for making the fix and bringing Vaicom Pro back to life for now. I'll test it today.

PeneCruz Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) It's a tempory fix, just patches the lua's and stops Vaicom updating them to the broken ones. you must delete the old luas hence the removal and reinstall of vaicom (you can do it differently but this is a failsafe) DONT RUN DCS. Then launch Voice attack and activate Viacom Pro it will patch DCs with the broken luas, now add the zip file scripts folder to your DCS main directory (NOT SAVED GAMES) and it will work. If you don't follow the instructions regarding DCS path above the fix will get overwritten. We are working on a more longer term fix to avoid the whole routine.

Pickles Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just a quick post to let people know that Hollywood at least appears to be alive. I know many of us were worried for his health and hoping things were ok. At least I'm assuming it's the same Hollywood that has now archived Vaicom on GitHub. If you haven't yet, join the Discord with Pene's link above - I for one am hoping people with better C# and lua skills than I can take Hollywood's great project and develop it further under GPL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, where is Vaicom on GitHub. I cannot find it. Ops, sorry. Found it at https://github.com/Hollywood315/VAICOMPRO-GPL Now it is open source. We can download and even fork it.

Dragon1-1 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I wish I knew how to code this stuff, I've had a few issues with how Vaicom handles PTT buttons that made me decide not to take it up, but now that it's open source, perhaps some wizard could tie it to built in VOIP PTT buttons as bound in the sim.

Still on sabbatical due to my spine surgery but see the surgeon for my first follow up tomorrow afternoon - hoping can get clearance to at least flight sim. Been too long already. Maybe Vaicom will be all sorted out nicely for me then. 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...

Then shut everything down and redo the patch. the only point of changing the "custom path" was to keep VAICOM from updating the real one. The "manual" checkbox does exactly that. 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.
