Vaicom Pro Release 3.0.0.0

[PeneCruz]

UPDATE 17 February 2025

This is a big update, and one worthy of taking Vaicom Pro to it's next major version, 3.0.0

This update is the culmination of about four months of slowly working on keywords and bugs, trying to clean up the software to reflect the latest DCS lua script standard, and trying to align Vaicom Pro with where I think it needs to go. Finally, launching my pet project, a Chatter theme for Afghanistan using real world CAS, ISR and Tanker comms recorded over Afghanistan from 2004 through to 2014. I have been tapping away on the Afghanistan theme for about 6 months off and on, some of the comms can be confronting but reflect the reality of war, if you don’t want to listen to this, don’t select the theme on.

-    Fix errors in keywords and add many more standard keyword phrases.
-    Add new DCS Ground Crew, Wingman and Flight commands. 
-    Provides support for Whisper Attack users by providing a clean VSPX.vap file for use.
-    Fix the Export.cs routine to allow clean export.
-    Change PTT Tab indication when ‘No Module Detected’.
-    Add F-5E Flaming Cliffs version to modules (WIP) you must start Voice Attack after entering the cockpit in this aircraft as DCS will crash, unresolved at this stage.
-    Add community mod F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet and E/A-18G Growler as supported modules.
-    Add Afghanistan and Iraq theaters to ATO kneeboard time zones.
-    Add the Afghanistan Chatter theme.

YOU MUST DO A KEYWORD RESET AND RESTART VOICE ATTACK, DO FINISH IN THE EDITOR AND PASTE THE NEW KEYWORD SET TO THE PROFILE AS DESCRIBED IN THE MANUAL.

Known Issues

-    Rearming Request with Ground Crew will not open Rearming UI, only rearms last selection (Use Options Command to access menu for now).

And something on the social front, our Community Discord just clocked over 4000 users! That's pretty impressive given the very niche role Vaicom plays in the DCS player world. Thanks to all of you for being good community citizens, In 3 years we have had very few issues if any. 

IMPORTANT (in case you missed it in the patch notes above )
The Auto updater will patch you to the latest version. To ensure your keywords are updated, you have some manual work to do. Keywords  now number 1341 standard phrases. If you don't see this you must reset your Keywords database and relaunch Voice Attack to rebuild it automatically. Then do the Finish steps in the editor tab of the Vaicom UI.

Happy flying and stay keyboard free

Probably a typo!? 

I'm sure that none of us can even imagine flying DCS without VAICOMPRO!

 

Note: this time it was very challenging for the team to update the program due to various changes implemented by ED in the new DCS release. I would like and appreciate ED to commit in the future to contributing to the maintenance of this little gem by helping the team with maximum transparency and cooperation.
