Why did you place "Engage Bandits" as LAST option in Command Menu? Please change it to FIRST

[Kuky]

For aircraft that is primarily an A2A fighter/interceptor command for wingman (and flight) to engage bandits should be on top of the commands list, not last, because it is of most importance (esp when reaction time needs to be fast). Please change this.

Also, Please add command for wingman & flight to Turn Radar ON and OFF, this is a must have IMHO but its currently lacking. If you don't have space for another command, then remove the Engage Infantry option as you can't even see infantry from the air in MiG-29A.

Will certainly pass on your feedback, but this isnt a bug and I have moved to wish list. 

thank you 

[draconus]

I support. This was always first on the list.

[Dača]

Yeah, my fingers hurt

Yes, I ended up binding the command "engage bandits" directly on my HOTAS to avoid all this faffery.

Let me guess: this is from the Black Shark days?

I programmed my stick to use a button and 1 HAT switch to open, navigate and sellect communication commands also, which is why I ask for this, I ordered VR headset also so having this on the stick is handy. Over time I might just move to voice activation software but that one is more tricky to setup.

In what way?

• Train Microsoft Speech Recognition
• Purchase and install VoiceAttack
• Download and add the free community driven plugin for VoiceAttack
• Setup VAICOM according to the manual
• Copy the VAICOM commands to the included VoiceAttack profile

That's basically it. 

"Two, engage bandits" 

"Three, engage my target" 

Cheers!

I have VoiceAttack already, I had it setup (for most important things) for when I flew Russian FC3 aircraft but its not 100% safe/proof to use all the time, sometimes it doesn't recognise my commands, maybe due to my accent or whatever, sometimes command menu changes depending on what's happening in the mission... also takes lot of time to remember all the voice commands. So right now I switched to using buttons on my stick and MiG-29 Fulcrum being WIP still I leave things be for now as I'm expecting things to change over time and just slowly learning the new module, how everything works, what is not working properly, etc.

Also, while talking about me expecting things to change, right now there is no "attack my target" command with MiG-29 Fulcrum module (and I wonder why they left it out?)

Just train the speech recognition some more, or add Whisper to it. It uses AI and is much better.

That's the beauty of VAICOM, hence why I mentioned it. It circumvents the radio menu, (I actually have it hidden), and communicates directly with DCS, so that is not a problem.

You will quickly learn and remember them the more you use it. 

Like I wrote, VAICOM is free, you should give it a go.

Maybe it works with VAICOM. VAICOM works with some radio commands that are not in the menu. Like you can refuel on the ground without bringing up the refuel/rearm GUI. 

Also, VAICOM does not push buttons. One uses ordinary VoiceAttack commands/profiles for that. 

Cheers!

VAICOM huh... I'll have a loot at it at some point. Thanks.

Look up the thread under the Input thread, and the Discord is very helpful if you need any. 

Cheers!
