Comms Problem

SO: I installed Voice Attack and Vaicom Pro. Read all of the manuals. Set up my 4 PTT switches on my X-55 Throttle. My A10C is set up with Easy Comms ON, so I expected the radios to be auto-tuned to where-ever I was starting off.

But when I click the PTT for VHF/AM, I get the menu (I have Disable Menus turned off in Viacom), and ask for ATC (F5, I think) by voice. Nothing happens. It turns out that no matter which radio I select, there is no reply from the other side. I'm thinking that the radios are not getting tuned to the proper freqs. And then I read that Easy Comms may only work under the Gameplay mode.

What am I doing wrong here? My mic is working fine, all commands are showing up fine in VA, but no response to any of my comms.

Do you hear a short burst of "white noise" when you press a PTT switch and does the log on VoiceAttack give any clues about what it might be hearing and then transmitting to DCS World?

I have it working fine with the A10C, so it sounds like you might have missed a step in the setup. The VAICOM forum would probably be the best place to get a hand with your troubleshooting.

Just a thought , have you used the CTRL ALT C menu to register your copy of VAICOM PRO and to configure your preferences?

I do get that "white noise", and since I didn't disable the menus, I get the list (F1-F10). I didn't turn off Player Voice, either, and I get what I say in the upper left, but no response. It's almost like I'm tuned to the wrong freq, but I haven't had the chance yet to actually look at the radio dials to verify that.

You're right in that I should go over to the Vaicom forum and check there. I have registered both Voice Attack and Vaicom, and think I've set up my preferences there okay. Back to the research. Thanks for the reply.

Assigning PTT using red switch on Warthog Throttle

... help, must be missing something...

I had no problems configuring all 5 positions of the hat switch on my warthog throttle and mapped these to TX1-5 (as per pages 11 and 12 of the user manual)

However, I would now like to map the red toggle switch on the throttle to TX6 but this switch is not recognised when I try to configure it in the Vaicom Pro 'Edit a Command' page.

I have checked and this switch is not mapped to anything and not bound to any keys.

Any ideas please?

EDIT: sorted - assigned DX code to switch (press and release) in T.A.R.G.E.T software and worked straight away
