VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack

"You must run Windows 10 and if on Win7 make sure to have .NET 4.5.2 properly installed"

Hollywood, does it have to be .NET 4.5.2? My system keeps doing updates to latest version. I hate to run versions with vulnerabilities.

Have you imported the "VIACOM PRO for DCS World" profile, yet?

Yes I had thank you for responding.

My issue it seems was not replacing the old key word list with the new list in the AI Communications within the VA profile itself.

New stupid question: can the AOCS auto brief default tts be changed to another API, maybe Ivona or something less robotic than windows10 tts?

cheers.

Hi,

 

 

Is it possible to set the RIO inactive like you can with the wheel? This is really useful for example when doing a lantirn attack.

 

 

Regards, Marcel

I might have found it, could it be "Wake up"? Is that a toggle? At least it seems to work.

Two more questions, how do a change a steerpoint? (for example create one from coordinates or from a steerpoint label I set in the F10 map)

Regarding the chaff prorgrams, where you can select a number, where are these programs defined?

Thanks!

Marcel

When testing a mission with viacompro, I cannot disable the SRS message on bottom left of screen regarding not connected. Is there a key command to remove it from screen?

Where can I download the Huey profile?

The link doesn't seem to work!

I used it in the past and it is awesome.

Thanks

Jozeff

AIRIO key is rejected when I try to register it. Tried numerous times. Latest Vaicom pro and voice attack. AIRIO DLL is in the vaicom extensions folder.

Anybody else having VA with Viacom shutdown periodically mid flight? I'll be at the tanker, get the 'pre contact' wave in, and when I trigger and say 'ready precontact' about 1/4 of the time VA shuts down.

I have the latest version, running as admin, and no issues being reported in the logs. I've done a few searches but haven't found the right search terms yet to see if anyone else is having the same issue.

I *suspect* what I am saying is being taken as VA shutdown or something.

{TXT:vaicompro.playerdata.currentmodule.name} Not Working

Running Vaicom Pro 2.5.10.

{TXT:vaicompro.playerdata.currentmodule.name} is no longer working. Logs "----" instead of aircraft module such as UH-1H.

I use this to tailor keys to aircrafts types. Worked great in the past.

Anyone have a solution or this same problem?

Hi!

First the program is great! but several issue I find:

 

1. Could you please make a new forum to reorganize all a bit? Sure there are same questions in the same post. It is caotic right now for searching and replying. Thanks!

Thanks!

:music_whistling:

@Gunfighter6 You should be ok with higher versions just make sure .NET 4.5.2 libs are included

@Onslawt It's just the default (female) voice for Crystal Palace at this time

@huppel It's not the official function but should work ok to toggle suspend

@steve That sounds like a question for SRS team perhaps

@jozeff VAICOM PRO plugin uses a single unified profile for all DCS aircraft (including the UH-1H)

@grammaton_feather Apply the same email address used for purchase and confirm there are no typos

@CrossWiseRanger Works fine here during testing but maybe others have similar findings. Perhaps dcs.log tells you something

@Cornelius The amount of attention for this product has exceeded all expectations tbh and admittedly this thread has become pretty hefty.

The idea of a sub-forum is interesting but I cannot initiate this myself, would require consent and action from the forum admins.

OK, will do Hollywood

Cheers

Update: When I use my 0 key command for chatter, I noticed that the srs notification was removed and vice versa. So looks like srs has a keystroke linked to the key command I have selected in viacompro.

So I purchased AIRIO yesterday and have it working for the most part, but I can't figure out how to get the RIO to select different radio channels?

I downloaded the kneeboards and it says, Select ATC/TAC/etc. **(use Select command) X Standard plugin func.

What does that mean?

I initially found this confusing as well.

I found if you say “Select” first then wait for the recognition beep, then say “Stennis’ or “ Texaco” or “ Overlord” etc, Jester will tune the radio to the respective stations.

I also think you can probably say the full sentence i.e. “Select Stennis”.

DCS 2.5.4.30038 Open Beta

NEW: JESTER now uses RWS and ground stabilize if asked for

Hi Hollywood,

Fantastic stuff! VAICOM really improves my immersion when flying, and generally works impressively well.

I've been playing with AIRIO since you released it, and it's good enough that going back to playing without it is kind of a non-option, but I do have one major reservation right now (that I have seen other people bring up) which is regarding control over the RIO's UHF/VHF radio. Particularly when using SRS it is important to be able to tune this to a specified frequency, which there is currently no way of doing without the Jester menu.

Can you look at addressing this?

@GhostDad Cool appreciate the feedback. Yes feature requests are noted and several are under consideration for future updates. Some are more technically complex to implement than others.

@gonvise Thanks, we'll review.

AIRIO is not working for me any more after the DCS update today. Anyone experienced the same?

@Hollywood

not sure if this has been discussed, but recently Viacom will lockup during missions, of any variety. Once it does, even menus are no longer functional. They do display, but requesting actions gives nothing but silence. It is like the entire engine associated to comms, after Viacom crashes, locks up the menus and other associated DCS voice/command items.

Recently started after last couple updates, up until then, ran flawlessly. Pro user, and latest version.

P.S. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Hollywood (I don't think @ sign works here, but is a habit for me too!)

Ignore my problem or have mod remove this post.

I was one update shy, for some reason I didn't get it automagically, and I downloaded the update, installed.

To date, no more issues.

Sorry to bother.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for any ideas or input.

Hi Hollywood,

I’m having trouble getting voice comms and chatter loud enough to hear over background DCS in my headphones. I have all DCS sliders at 50%, increased the two separate volume knobs (main Viacom config page and the comms on the audio page). I’m also dedicating communications to my headphones. Still struggling though.

I’ve checked the listening as if through headphones in DCS

I’ve tried lowering some DCS volumes settings with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Perhaps I’m lowering the wrong sliders?

Thanks, Jason

PS- loving the software in VR

Oh I see, thanks Boomer. What I was speaking into the mic was, "Select ATC Stennis, or Select TAC Magic". I didn't know I had to leave out the ATC or TAC. Good to know.

Hey Guys,

Am I missing something, or do tanker commands always go to Texaco? We've stuck a couple of tankers in our mission, Shell (KC-135) and Texaco (S-3), but whenever we use VAICOM for tanker commands, they always go to Texaco, regardless if we prefix with "Texaco" or "Shell"

Edit: Perfect timing it seems, there was an update to VAICOM over the past couple of days that seems to have resolved it!

ok, so I tried saying, "Select Stennis" and nothing, I tried saying, "Select Magic" and nothing (yes my AWACs is Magic).

Also, I did have Voice Attack / VAICOM crashed multiple times today when I was trying to PTT commands.

Also after restarting Voice Attack after crashes it became stable but glitchy with the jester wheel briefly popping up for a split second as well as menu's popping up for split seconds. So there could be something the DCS patch broke in VAICOM

@Jason44 All sliders at 50% is indeed the recommend setting. Depending whether you are using the audio Redirect function you may need to inspect the Windows audio mixer and / or your audio driver setting to change the overall audio balance.

In VR there's also the HMD audio settings to consider, such as desktop audio mirroring. DCS options includes a setting to use VR device audio, you may want to check that one also.

@Highwayman-Ed The system can deal with multiple tankers at the same time. Make sure to leave the short pause

between the recipient name and command e.g. "Shell,... Select", and confirm that appropriate settings are enabled i.e. Instant Select (for easy comms on) and/or Select Tunes Radio (easy comms off).

@Kazius See above (and manual page 15). You may want to run a DCS repair for those glitches.

There have been some code changes by HB in latest DCS ob build, there will be a patch update for that.

Are also new rio commands for radar rws going to be implemented in new patch?

Using the Editor

I have vaicom pro and SRS working fine. I speak the Queens' English, but have issues with vaicom recognising some of the airport names. I have tried speech recognition without success.

So with, say, Vaziani, I would like to add extra commands such as "Vaz", "Vazi", or "Vase", so when I say "Vaze", it recognises Vaziani.

My question is, How do I add extra commands (Vaz, Vazi, Vase) to a keyword (Vaziani)?

I know how to click finish and copy/paste to update the VA profile.

Thanks in anticipation.
