M07 - Switch to marshall message sticks

[Hillman]

After getting orders to RTB, you are asked to switch to marshall on PRI. The usuall graphic/message about using F10/Spacabar/R/I to confirm only says F10 and remains after switching channel and pressing space. Looks like the new nice logic with joystick bind does not work in this mission. This also seem to mess up the Kiss-off logic.

Another thing. I my first try Pshyco dived into the ocean after laying out the smoke. I used voice attack (but no mods) so I tried again without and she did not crash this time. First time I have had an issue with VA in any campaigns. A bit unfortunate as VA is nearly mandatory for me in VR and motion rig.

@Hillman yeah, unfortunately VA as well as VAICOM make the AI stupid somehow and using any 3rd party mods is strongly discouraged while playing them... the only thing I know is not causing any issues is the VR Kneeboard

Are you using any addons like VAICOM with VoiceAttack? Even if you don't use it but have it installed for some reason?

VoiceAttack in itself cannot possibly do anything to DCS, as it has no clue about it and doesn't install or alter anything DCS related neither in the Saved Games folders or DCS Core folders. It's basically a keyboard macro pusher. But if VAICOM was added at some point, you might need to remove VAICOM from VoiceAttack, disable plugins in VoiceAttack and perform a full repair of DCS.

It's really strange to be honest, as I personally have never had any issues with any campaigns, paid or not, and use VoiceAttack/VAICOM all the time.

I have been using Vaicom previously, but that was on an older PC. So now there should be no ref to Vaicom.

I have never had problems with VoiceAttack before this campaign and I don't see why it should interfere in any way.

I do however see that VA gets delayed by DCS from time to time. When I press the PTT button it seems do be qued somewhere before VA react. Happens 2-3% of the time. Very strange and a bit frustrating.

Oh, you're using VA for the radio? Well, that's why I use VAICOM. I don't think VA works well for the radio.

What I do, (when not using VAICOM) is using mapping my trim hat for browsing the radio menu. It's in the drop down for the modules in the Controls Settings, in its own category, like UI Layer. Called Communication Menu or something. You can map the hat for up/down/select/back and it only works when the menu is open, and works for trimming when the meny is closed. Then I open it by mapping a button to open the meny with the corresponding PTT button, not "\"obviously. This way I don't lose any buttons for mapping. In a way it works like the George/Petrovich interface mappings.

Cheers!
