Workaround for Vaicom Pro IC fail in multiplayer?

[DirtyMike0330]

Vaicom Pro keeps breaking IC (something something device_unit.lua). I've seen a couple posts on the forums, but they are all pretty old and don't seem to offer a solution. Even if I jump into a server as soon as I start DCS (one user said the first flight should be fine until you switch servers) I get booted. 

 

Is there a workaround or are folks just not using VP when they jump onto a multiplayer server?

 heres the work around that I ended up doing with the f18. This was the file failing IC ck for me Dcsworld openbeta\mods\aircraft\fa-18c\cockpit\scripts\device_init.lua  Before you start VA Do a quick repair of dcs then go to the int_device lua right click then on properties  make it read only. Mine was the one in cockpit scripts that was failing the IC ck.  All the radio commands will work but the down side no interactive kneeboard. But it wont trip the pure scripts check or give you the red shield And you can join any  MP server even if it has pure scripts active like hoggit and such. And lastly with this method when DCS has an update come out you have to change the file properties back, after the update change it back to read only.

And one other workaround if you don't change the int_device lua. But this is only  for MP servers that are not using pure scripts. You have the red shield showing. Just click on the server you want to join and on the left you will see the IP address listed then click join by IP enter the IP plus the password this way you don't have to restart dcs after every misson. You can go from one misson to another. But if the server has pure scripts enabled you will get booted out.  I stopped using Vaicom, when it worked I loved it but I had a lot of issues and they alway showed up during MP with our squad. I just use voice attack  now with a handfull of commands

Sucks that we have to go through all that for a harmless add-on! Thanks for the info!
