VAICOM RELEASE 3.0.5.3

I'm excited to say the latest release update is now available on GitHub or via your auto updaters. A lot of work has gone into this patch and I think you guys will like it.

This update adds a new hooking method for DCS and a major lua optimization, which brings a faster communication rate between Vaicom and DCS. Along with better logging of message construction and passing when set to debug and new file handling routines.

It also makes many fixes, brings better Kneeboard data management and stops the phantom Scripts file that was being generated in the root directory during file writing.

-    Fixes the rearming command to ensure the Mission Resources dialog pops up.
-    Fixes NVG, HMD, Inertial starter commands and other special commands.
-    Fixes “request taxi for takeoff” bug
-    Fixes Supercarrier verification bug
-    Fixes lua code reset behavior and expands to cleanup legacy export.lua hook if present.
-    New Kneeboard frequency priority for recipients UHF>VHF>FM.
-    New faster two-way communications rate between DCS and Vaicom.
-    New safe handling of export.lua and better logging.
-    New lua code optimization for many appended files.
-    New Vaicom UI window handling now will not remain on top of other windows.

**ALL USERS NEED TO DO A RESET OF THEIR LUA CODE USING THE RESET TAB OF THE VAICOM UI.**
This is important, If you do not perform this reset the legacy entry will remain and Vaicom will not connect to DCS

KNOWN ISSUES

-    None

Awesome update.  Thanks so much for this.

The new interface to DCS sounds interesting. I'll try it out when I find time. Thanks for your hard work keeping VAICOM alive.

Thanks PC but this update isn't taking for me, even after doing the lua reset in the VAICOM GUI. After reset and restart, I keep seeing 3.0.4.0 as my version. So I seem to be in the very loop that the lua reset should be avoiding... Any ideas? Much appreciated!

Confirmed I have the latest VAICOM3.0.5.3) and VoiceAttack (2.1.7), but now, with a loadout of 4 GBU-16's and a pod (on the F-14), when I say "Select Paveways", RIO responds with an "unable" mesage, when I say "select stores" it says there is no current loadout. Even though I'm able to visually verify they are attached, and if I hop in the back and select them, I am able to drop them, but I don't get a talk-on and they don't hit the target. I have reset the LUA as per instructions already as well. 

Bug, or dumb user?

I would say that the auto update is not downloading? when you accept the update offer on the popup do you see in yellow in the Voice Attack window Doenloading then installing befor Voice Attack retarts?

Are other Jester commands working? Other wepon types etc? Nothing was changed in the AIRIO module so it should operate the same. Also try cycling AIRIO off the rerstarting Voice Attack Then Back on and restarting. also check Use Appensicies is checked. I'll be traveling for a few days if you still have issues jump onto our Discord for support.
