slicker55 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have a clicking sound (repeats once every 6 seconds) inside the cockpit of my MiG-21Bis which occurs all the time, whether cold on the ground (before anything is switched on) or during flight. It is the same click sound which can be heard when operating the throttle latch and flight clock push buttons but none of these animate when the click occurs? I have eliminated a few possibilities like Helios profile, TARGET profile, TrackiR, Vaicom Pro as the click still occurs even when none of these are loaded. Any other suggestions? Any way to monitor/log key presses? :book: i7-5820K 3.30Ghz | Asus X99-S | Sapphire R290X | R7 240 | 16GB DDR4 PC4 2800MHz | Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD (OS) | Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD (DCS) | Noctua NH-D14 2011 Cooler | OCZ ZT 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular PSU | NZXT Phantom Enthusiast | 3 x IIyama Prolite E2473HDS 24" | 1 x Dell S2240T 21.5" Touch Screen | Windows 10 64-Bit | AMD Eyefinity 5760 x 1080 | TrackIR5 | TM Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind 1771 | Vaicom Pro + VA (Licensed) | Sennheiser Game Zero | Honeycomb Yoke (June 2020)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 its not by any chance on a headset is it? I had that once and was interference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicker55 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 No, thanks for the suggestion (I know what you mean, had the same problem myself in the past) but, no, this is coming from something in the cockpit. I immediately checked the throttle lock because the click sound is identical. I thought I might see a switch or something animate if it was a stray key bind but, nothing... it's weird how it's literally every 6 seconds - I thought it might be coming from the flight clock as those two push buttons also make the same click sound when you push them in. Just wondered if someone could check to see if it happens in their MiG21 If it doesn't, I will explore further as it must be something at my end :) i7-5820K 3.30Ghz | Asus X99-S | Sapphire R290X | R7 240 | 16GB DDR4 PC4 2800MHz | Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD (OS) | Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD (DCS) | Noctua NH-D14 2011 Cooler | OCZ ZT 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular PSU | NZXT Phantom Enthusiast | 3 x IIyama Prolite E2473HDS 24" | 1 x Dell S2240T 21.5" Touch Screen | Windows 10 64-Bit | AMD Eyefinity 5760 x 1080 | TrackIR5 | TM Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind 1771 | Vaicom Pro + VA (Licensed) | Sennheiser Game Zero | Honeycomb Yoke (June 2020)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicker55 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) ... loads of views (115) so far - thanks to everyone for taking a peek.. I didn't expect an immediate answer as this is just one of those weird things I suppose but thanks anyway. Following further testing, designed to eliminate various possibilities, it would appear this 'clicking' only occurs if the following conditions are met: Vaicom Pro / DCS / Mig21 / Caucasus Map Maybe, other Vaicom Pro / MiG owners will try this combo and report back? It doesn't happen (for me) when other planes or maps are loaded I will update this thread when the cause of this has been confirmed.

Hook47 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I got deja vu when reading this! This was a bug with one of the very early builds of the MiG after it released. I distinctly remember the issue. Unsure why an external program is bringing it back but I thought it had something to do with the PTT button in the virtual cockpit Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkojohns Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yeah i get the same in the 18C, love VIACOM but only occurs with that running. Happy to help with any fault fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahsoldier Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have also found that I had this same clicking sound while flying in the Harrier. One thing I noticed was it seemed to be causing the "growl" of the sidewinder/ sidearm to stop working unless you touched the volume knob that controls the sound for the SW/SA. Once you did that the "growl" would come back on but would go off again once the "click" would happen again. Very had to hear your missiles acquire and lock with the sound constantly being dropped. I was running a separate profile I made in Voice Attack for the Harrier and not the Viacom one. Once I disabled the plug in support and restarted VA the sound went away and the so far the "growl" has been uninterrupted. Going to post this to another forum post talking about Viacom pro and maybe it will get a fix.

Dustoff Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Did anyone figure this conflict out? I can confirm it stops when voiceattack is closed, but starts as soon as it's opened. I really like VAICOM, but it sucks that this issue will keep me out of the MiG-21bis cockpit. Thanks for the help to whomever may have cracked this particular nut.
