Razor18 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Guys, can someone tell me what command is responsible for the "Intercom" radio menu to pop up once in a while? Or at what command line should I look for any inadvertant mis-assignment in the controls menu? I have the VHF, UHF and FM on the 4-way thumb hat on the Warthog throttle (forward, back and down, as RL) with no problem, UP direction of switch is not assigned to anything in DCS (I use it in for TeamSpeak PTT, asigned in TeamSpeak only). But while "investigating", I couldn't call up Intercom menu on purpose with this button, or with any other for that matter, so can't even reproduce it on purpose. Sometimes it just comes up random during flight, but I can't track down what brings it up. Sometimes it even seems to appear after a small movment of the joystick... I'm clueless... Anyone out there?

A10Yoda Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The only thing I know I have dealt with on this issue is with Vaicom Pro/Voice Attack Some of the updates with Open Beta has not allowed Viacom enough time to get out ahead of the patch and can cause where it auto spans the communications window. This is a hard thing to answer as "intercom" can be any of those switches with the radio selector dial on the volume audio panel on the aft/outboard section of the left console. DCS will also revert to "intercom" when Alternating Current is not being received to the radio antenna for broadcasting Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 As A10Yoda says, if you have Vaicom/ Voiceattack installed, it'll be that. After each update it seems to reset where it's looking for Vaicom. Simply LCtrl, LeftAlt + c and go to Config then in Use custom DCS path, point to where you release version or openbeta is and press set.

Razor18 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have Voice Attack, but I do not have Vaicom (in fact I downloaded Vaicom, but never installed yet as I found mixed opinions about it). What if I only have Voice Attack? And the Intercom switch is never in the Intercom position, when this happens. I chaeked that too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaicom is the program, voice attack is the mod to vaicom Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger71 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 do you have "HM press" bound to anything? "INT press" and "Rotary selector INT" would be the other commands that might bring up an intercom dialog box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaicom is the program, voice attack is the mod to vaicom I think it is rather the other way around. Vaicom is a mod for Voice Attack.

If the 3rd option would be the case, then I would see the rotary turned to Intercom, after menu appeared anyway, don't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have none of the three bound to anything then I'd suggest running a repair. There is something wrong on your end for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor18 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Anyways, gave me a good idea to check my Voice Attack commands page what Voice Attack (falsely) presumed i said. Just wondering, if there is no ANY assignment in any line of the intercom related commands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only problem with the repair I have a lot of "extra" files including .miz files and whatnot that Repair wants to delete afterwards. But I don't want to delete them, so I don't know if Repair would help anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have Voice Attack, but I do not have Vaicom (in fact I downloaded Vaicom, but never installed yet as I found mixed opinions about it). Too bad, give it a try. Don't listen to others! I use it every day. DCS is now completely lame without it. Super Carrier and (hopefully) new ATC will be a blast with it!

Razor18 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 OK, I might try it, but can I simply disable it if I experience some setback? Or do I need to uninstall it, if I don't like it or I don't need it for a while (playing multiplayer, where it makes I heard more trouble than good)? And how easy is to set up and fine tune, if any?

Taintid Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It sounds like your throttle might be ghosting, to me. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puma Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think he means your throttle buttons may be sending false “clicks” when you dont actually intend to click. Ie “ghost clicks”. See if your radio button is sticky, off center. If you touch it gently or wiggle it just a little do you get any phantom menus popping up?

Razor18 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Track? Never made one at all TBH. How to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Bottom of the debriefing screen there is an option "Save Track." It's an external file you can upload here or somewhere that you can link it. Recreate the problem in a short mission then exit and save the track. I have a suspicion that a lot of this "comm menu popping up" relates to problems with using the ATC, but not sure unless I can see a track.

It's a plugin for Voice Attack that ain't active when not selected. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks. If I don't need / want it for a while, how can I switch it off? Within Voice Attack, simply disabling Plugin Support checkbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
