TARGET script and VAICOM PRO

Hi there, I mapped the MIC switch on the Warthog in VoiceAttack to use it with VAICOM Pro.

Since I cannot use my voice when my son is sleeping I am trying to map COMM1 and COMM 2 binding them with the DCS controls and then using the keyboard to use the communication menu.

My lines into TARGET script editor involving both the COMMs channel and the MIDS are the following:

MapKeyIOUMD(&Throttle, MSU, L_ALT+'\\', 0, L_ALT+'\\', 0, L_ALT+'\\', 0);

MapKeyIOUMD(&Throttle, MSR, R_ALT+'\\', 0, R_ALT+'\\', 0, R_ALT+'\\', 0);

MapKeyIOUMD(&Throttle, MSD, L_CTL+'\\', 0, L_CTL+'\\', 0, L_CTL+'\\', 0);

MapKeyIOUMD(&Throttle, MSL, R_CTL+'\\', 0, R_CTL+'\\', 0, R_CTL+'\\', 0);

The hope was the '0' let me use the Voice Attack keys and the shifted ones the DCS commands but the ones in Voice Attack works only when I remove all the four lines from the script. Contrary, it's obvious, when I use the Voice Attack ones I cannot use the shifted ones because lines are missing in the script.

Is there a way to make them work at the same time? :helpsmilie:

Hello !

What I do myself :

- Within VoiceAttack, I've bind ctrl-shift-alt-win-1 to TX1

- Within TARGET, I've bind MSR to ctrl-shift-alt-win-1 (VA didn't recognize my HOTAS, but this workarround works well)

- Within DCS, I've bind the Pinkie + MSR to VHF-1

Do the same for UHF/TX2 and VHF-2/TX3.

That way, when I can't make some noise, I'm able to use com without problem.

Hope this help :)

Hello, you mean like that?

MapKeyIOUMD(&Throttle, MSR, L_SHIFT+'C', L_ALT+L_CTL+L_SHIFT+L_WIN+'1', L_SHIFT+'C', L_ALT+L_CTL+L_SHIFT+L_WIN+'1', L_SHIFT+'C', L_ALT+L_CTL+L_SHIFT+L_WIN+'1');

considering Left Shift + C keys are bound to COMM1 in DCS.

I changed a little bit in order to not use TARGET (don't like it).

With screenshots, it'll be better. Also, I was able to map Joy buttons within VoiceAttack (I previously had a problem because of an USB conflict with my older HOTAS).

Here my VoiceAttack config :

So :

TX1/VHF1 on button 4 of the Throttle

TX2/UHF on button 5 of the Throttle

TX3/VHF2 on button 6 of the Throttle

And here with DCS :

I configure the default Com Menu to button 3 of the Throttle.

Then, I configure a modifier button (the paddle on the Stick, which is Button 4 for him).

And then, I add my commands with the modifier :

So :

VHF1 on Modifier + button 4 of the Throttle

UHF on Modifier + button 5 of the Throttle

VHF2 on Modifier + button 6 of the Throttle

That way, I'm now able to :

- Directly use the MIC buttons on the throttle when I want to (or can) use voices for com

- Directly use the MIC buttons but with the Stick Paddle as a modifier when I can't use voices for com

No more TARGET or scripts :smilewink:

Well, it looks good but unfortunately I have many commands in TARGET scripts. So I used your workaround and works great. Thank you one more time.
