Phantom711 Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Hey...sorry, if this had been asked before. I have had VAICOM when it was still payware and had it set up and running. I remember though, that it was relatively complicated to set up. Now I would like to simply upgrade to the latest version. When I start VoiceAttack it also offers me a newer version and leads me to the respective download page. I download it. and then? do I just reinstall it? Will it keep my settings? Why doesn´t it just upgrade itself? I know, that this is a completely separate thing...but you guys certainly know... Now....same question basically for VAICOM. The sticky thread mentiones to refer to the "installation instructions" if one wants to just upgrade but all I found was the full up manual. In any case...thanks to all those who keep VAICOM alive. EDIT: Ok...I think I have found those "Installation Instructions". That GitHub has an absolutely stupid UI....

EDIT: Ok...I think I have found those "Installation Instructions". That GitHub has an absolutely stupid UI....Yes, Github is Github.Not sure how far you got.The absolutely easiest way to upgrade, is to close VoiceAttack, open the file structure to the VAICOM plugin folder, under the VoiceAttack folder.Download the zip file, (not the msi), open it and just drag the dll and overwrite the old one.Start VoiceAttack, open the control panel and do the "Finish" step in the Keywords Editor if needed.That's it.

Phantom711 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Hey...one more problem now: I tried to open that VAICOM window with LCtr+LAlt+C but nothing happens really. There is some kind of addditional voicaAttack window opening that is named "VAICOM for DCS world-community edition", but it is all white and nothing one could do with it.

There is a combo that's supposed to reset the control panel, but I have never used it. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
Phantom711 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) The two small ones at the bottom left-middle. the left one is just the normal VA and the right one opens when I press the mentioned key combo. I tried while running DCS and without. Edited August 17, 2023 by Phantom711 vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.
MAXsenna Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 The two small ones at the bottom left-middle. the left one is just the normal VA and the right one opens when I press the mentioned key combo. I tried while running DCS and without. That's impossible to view on my cell. Try this, press the left Windows key, then type in "snip", and the app Snip & Sketch will be listed. Use it instead of your while desktop. LAlt + PrtScreen should also only make screenshots of the active window.Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
Phantom711 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Sorry. If I try to actually click on that window it closes itself back to the bar at the bottom which is also why I cannot use the snipping tool. any click will just make the window go back to the bar. YIf I hover over it, it says "VAICOM for DCS world-community edition" as already mentioned. Is that what the VAICOM menu would usually be called?

Do you get a menu?Try moving with the arrow keys, then the mouse. Or is it just like a white crashed app? Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
Phantom711 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Posted August 17, 2023 I just shut down my computer...I wll try again tomorrow. Thanks for your effort so far. Maybe I will have to simply uninstall, clean the registry and install again.... So basically exactly what I tried to avoid. I knew it would cause trouble, that I had to update both programs... anyways....thanks for your help...I appreciate it. 1 vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Phantom711 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Uninstalled and installed VoiceAttack again. Installed VAICOM via the msi-Installer and then reimported the profiles. I do get the VAICOM menu now. So it was just me being too sloppy during my first update attempt. I can`t get the kneeboard pages to cycle through the different pages, but that seems to be a common problem.

That should not have happened.The pages does sometimes have issues, even if it's been a while for me now, but never if you assign buttons to browse them.Happy you solved it!
