VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack

Hi Guys

I did yesterday the DCS update and then purchased voiceattack/vaicom and installed it.

So its my first and i have no experience with this software whatsoever.

First its super immersive and amazing it almost has a trackir factor from the your never going back point of view and even if i am a native german speaking person it recognices almost every word i say.

I made some test in this rinse and repeat manner,

1 tweak something in the control panel of vaicom

2 launch dcs

3 instant action Hornet carrier take off.

4 Revert/keep the changes.

I always was able to communicate with the atc or tell my wingmen to call it a day and rtb so that works just fine.

Later in Multiplayer, startup from Parking area:

able to communicate with the atc for take off and flew towards the carrier

carrier inbound or nearest carrier inbound didnt work while approaching but instead anapa who was the nearest tower apart from the stennis.

Tried to approach the tanker Not able to call for tanker or approaching for refuel, and then suddenly the keybutton for the comms not working anymore menu not visible by keystroke

Tried the rinse and repeat with the instant action areal refueling, the same picture, not able to communicate with texaco on 251mhz only way to speak to the ai was then to press Ralt or rshift and the communicationsmenu button.

Seems to be broken as soon as a tanker is involved.

This is just my feedback as i really would like to say its a must have like TrackIR

But this wasnt the case for me yesterday as i wasnt able to contact the tanker with keyboard or vaicom.(as i figured out later only was able to communicate via some form of combination of lshift lalt and the commenu button, but the communication menu never was visible ( i didnt checked the hide menu box)

But like i statet i have no experience with this software.

Hope this helps with testing

Cheers Evilfisher

Is it possible to make VIACOM allow us to have a 'Global Profile'?

I have a music profile that is Global because I use it in many games. VIACOM says that it is Unable to run the Plugin because I am running the wrong version of VoiceAttack.

If I remove the Global Profile, everything works fine.

I'm having the same problem as many before. Vaicom is understanding my commands, but its not communicating to DCS. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've reinstalled, deleted lua's etc., but nothing is working.

Disregard. All sorted.

How did you sort this out?

Non Native English

Hi Guys just bought these plugins but having hard time to making it's working. I started a instant Action mission, Ready at ramp and with PPT pushed showed Comm dialog with the tower, but the only command recognized was "abort takeoff". Is there a command list so I can figure out which command I shall say, e.g "request taxi to runway"? Also is there a configuration for a non native English spoken to consider accent?

Thanks!

Yes, there is an option in speech control panel :

I'm spanish and my spoken english is rubbish.. but I'm running Vaicom perfectly, I'm surprised with the ease of Windows recognizing my words..

Same issue happen to me, any with a solution?:helpsmilie:

EDIT: Select and deselect Manage DCS-side files manually, voila, suddenly works again.

Is there an option that you can record your voice for each command?

Tonight I've just figured out rule number 1 for everything. If you're using DCS via Steam, DITCH it for the DCS standalone.

Not only is Vaicom working smoothly with standalone but there's lots of other small differences in game. Wingman AI is much better for starters.

The Steam version is 2nd rate.

I changed my W10 language to USA and checked "Non-Native accents for this language". What I realized is you must keep the Settings window open, if not it will set back for your language.

I Also opened the Vaicom Pro setting window and in keyboard editor I trained all the words as said in youtube video (bellow) at 13:10

I`m getting this message in Voice Attack:

"9:22:55 AM - PTT Key not in use: check configuration."

Yesterday was working, don't know what's happening.

There was a conflict between TX1 and TX2, assigning buttons for TX1 and TX2 seems to have solved the problem

Hey guys, are you planning on allowing the plugin to run after switching profiles? DCS is not the only title that I use VoiceAttck for and I find it very frustrating to have to quit VA and load it again when I wish to fly DCS after playing something else, especially when I cant do that easily from within VR. To give you an idea, I have 30 separate VA Profiles that have cross-linking to allow for a lot of functionality across various games and applications.

PocketEdition If it's hard to you, you can imagine for me that speak portuguese, go figure!

What I did and helped me a lot was:

- Change my W10 to USA English

-In W10 settings/ speech language a set "English USA"

and checked "Recognize non-native accents for this language!"

In Vaicom Pro / Keywords Editor a started a TRaining ( I did all the 430) and click the mike button and a microphone (Windows ) show up. When my speech was not recognized by Vaicom I right clicked in the microphone window and choose ( I don't remenber if was spelling or dictonary) and recorded the frase with my voice.

- Also in Voice Attack / Settings/ REcognition I choose Speech Engine " Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0"

Hope it will work for you!

@Highway Turns out this is not an easy thing to fix, but it's on the todo list.

@m4ti140

For 1) you can use the exposed variables to tweak your VA profle, see last page of the manual. This is a PRO feature.

For 2) you could make use of the Single to Multi mapping which maps out the individual radios separately including intercom (also a PRO feature). Need help with this just send me a PM.

Re 3) you can assign any key(s) / button(s) you like to the TX nodes by editing the VA profile.

Two updates in the 'known issues' category:

*) Most users will know this already but the Instant Select feature does not work for the F-5E Tiger II.

This is because of the specific way the radio was modelled in this module. The Select command can be used to switch recipient in a category.

*) There are some reports of users with the Elite Dangerous plugin EDDI having issues with keywords training mode. Disabling EDDI solves this. It's being looked into.

OK thanks for flagging, this hasn't been raised as an issue by other Huey users. Will have a look at some point.

If you're very keen about it you can manipulate the profile to have both stages trigger the single TX node for SEL/AUTO.

The menu headers do not influence their functionality.

OK, putting it into a separate post for clarity, because this is most likely a windows 10 issue: The MSVR window keeps switching to dictation mode when in training, showing me the spelling window when it doesn't recognize something. The worst part is, if I try to add a word to the dictionary, from this point on it will show me the "alternatives panel" and trying to write it into the command phrase field. VA doesn't recognize the phrase either.

Is there an update for VIACOM? I just had an update for VA, and now it says "UNABLE TO INVOKE PLUGIN, 'VIACOM PRO 2.5'. PLUGIN NOT VALID FOR THIS VERSION OF VOICEATTACK."
