VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack

1 thing maybe, voice attack is 1.7.6 now I think.

not sure it would cause these issues.

I upgraded it, still the same issue. Always centered around changing radar modes. Particularly with attempting to change radar to standby.

Hi Quick issue I had today ,

I have lost com2 button when I am in the harrier for some reason , and now have button 3 VHF FM instead .

anyone got a quick answer and how please

I've been having issues with getting my wingman to attack a target I've set a SPI for. This is A10C is that makes a difference.

What I've noticed is there is no "default" cue in VAICOM for the wingman. I have to give them a direction for the attack, which isn't always preferable, and most times I just want him to attack. I should add, I have the settings both for requiring engage and the extended commands checked.

Am I missing something? I looked at the command list, and don't see "default" in there.

Make sure you are broadcasting your SPI over DL. Wingmen go by numbers or Preset Callsigns (See Below).

The Sentance structure as listed in the manual:

You don't have to give them a direction for the attack. That is an optional appendix.

So you could say "Two, Attack my target" and it will attack with whatever it has. or you could go really specific and say "Two, Attack my Target from the south with Mavericks". If you look at the Table in the manual there are a few alternative words for the same thing.

Hope this helps.

has anyone updated to the recent latest Voice Attack Version - any issues with VAICOM or AIRIO?

Found out that some commands are missing for AIRIO to tune the Jesters radio...

I searched the thread, but with 274 pages I can't read it all :-(

I purchased the VIACOM Pro bundle before AIRIO, I have to purchase AIRIO separately right? I don't get it from my previous bundle purchase?

The problem is this doesn't work. I can get a wingman to attack my target no problem using the menus (and most times just default instead of a direction). But using VAICOMM they refuse. For starters, if I just say "Two, attack my target", they acknowledge, but simply fly off somewhere until I tell them to return. I'll try something more specific, like the weapon type, next time and see how that goes.

I have to tell them specifically to attack a certain target and from a certain direction for them to attack at all. ie: "Gopher <pause>, engage infantry from the south with bomb" and then I will see my message telling them to engage "at my SPI" which they acknowledge and attack.

Alright, I did some testing tonight. And learned some stuff. Maybe should've known, limitations with DCS, etc.

For starters, I found that declaring "Attack my target" w/o the TGP being in "POINT" mode causes a problem. Even if I make a SPI, and say "Engage my target", it doesn't matter. If the TGP is masked, then the wingman wouldn't attack. Not a problem with VAICOM.

Also, not a problem: Even though VAICOM allows me to "Engage my target, with bombs", you cannot tell a wingman to engage a single target with a desired weapon. Annoying, but that's on DCS it seems.

One thing that wasn't evident to me, is when calling for an attack, you can (need?) use the pauses. So: "Two" <pause> "Engage" <pause> "Tanks"-----and here I"m not sure. I couldn't find if you needed to pause again after the target call out, and then pause again for direction/weapon type? But it definitely recognized the pause after both the flight member ID and then Engage.

Hey guys

Some notes:

@Bazmack Stennis is contacted like a regular ATC. The new carrier comms are not yet implemented by ED.

@Schlapperklange For adding the the AIRIO commands press Export on the config tab.

@Uisce Thanks we'll run a check with MP to see if it's somehow reproducible.

@megger35 Disable the NS430 ind DCS config.

@Chams Enable plugin support.

@Uisce Instead of "Engage my target with bombs" try use e.g. "Engage ground target with bombs" or "Engage infantry with bombs".

Apply the pause between recipient and command e.g. "Three,... attack artillery with GBUs."

@DracoLlasa Yes AIRIO is a separate license.

Apologies if this has been asked before but i hope you'll forgive my attempt to not have to read 274 pages... I have just moved my DCS installation from one SSD drive to another (via Windows move). Voiceattack was and is still in the default c: drive. Although DCS runs perfectly, Vaicom/VA are behaving strangely/not working. It is recognising some speech from looking at the Vaicom plugin window, but in-game my PTT on my HOTAS just brings up/cancels the defauly in-game communications menu, even though I have nothing mapped in game for my HOTAS PTT key and all in-game menus turned off! Are these things coincidence or has something happened with the plugin since 2.5.5? Thanks in advance!

For the benefit of anyone else, I think I solved the immediate issue by discovering the "DCS Custom Path" setting in the Vaicom Config.

The above being said, it seems to hardly recognise any commands any more, after many many wasted hours previous of windows voice training and Keywords Training mode in Vaicom config. It is just too flakey and misinterprets most of what I say, and I am a native unaccented English speaker. I feel I have possibly expended too much effort on this. Frustrating though it is seeing everyone else's installation working perfectly. It's even more damned frustrating because I use VR and can't even use the keyboard.

@FreightDog Unless you re-installed Windows nothing has happened to your speech training data.

Make sure the selected Speech Recognition Engine (US/UK) is the same one you trained.

Most likely you need to re-evaluate your mic levels and audio driver / routing settings.

Consider starting with your mic, make sure you you're recorded clearly.

Not directly concerned with the above but I moved over to a new computer & searched for speech folders in AppData on the old machine.

Copied them all across to the new install & I didn't need to go through all the pain of speech training again

I’m not so sure Hollywood. I haven’t touched any mic settings, I went through speech training in the Viacom config and it seems to be working now. Somehow it looks like it was looking somewhere else for the old library but having redone it it must have put it in the correct place?

Hi there, I have a few questions regarding VAICOM - more specifically with the AIRIO module.

1) I noticed that there are a few Jester confirmation sounds that are played through the VAICOM plugin rather than the game (I guess this is due to limitations with the scripts). The problem with this is the audio volume is always really loud as doesn't match the in-game audio volume AND the F14 radio volume settings.

Is this something that will be addressed in a future update? If not can I somehow disable the 'external' jester sounds, they are ironically a little immersion breaking.

2) 90% of the expansion works flawlessly, but the specific tuning commands 'Link Tune', 'Radio Tune' etc are really struggling. Is there a way of training those specific commands. Currently its getting the numbers all wrong, zero is coming through as 7 or 2 etc.

3) I have noticed that when playing in multiplayer with a human RIO you can still say commands to Jester and he will still react to them. Is there a way I can prevent this happening without having to restart DCS every time?

VAICOM is a fantastic product, so thank you for all your hard work!

Hi, complete beginner here....I purchased the pro bundle from the website. Got a confirmation email, but no licence key info....where does this come to?

thanks

It should come to the same e-mail address.

Mine was titled Order <order no> and the e-mail started

Thanks for ordering from us. This email confirms your order of the following items:

The licence codes were about halfway down

If you haven't received it use the Contact Support option on the vaicompro website

My biggest issue is i cant get the PTT thing to work no matter what i do

Are you using anything else such as SRS?

@Uisce Thanks we'll run a check with MP to see if it's somehow reproducible.

I think or though I am not sure, I found the source of the issue. I deleted the scripts folder and ran DCS with only the stock rose-wheel. It may be the new ground stabilize option that is bumping "Radar standby/active" out of its normal place. I noticed that when I commanded Jester to go standby (A, A, L-Ctrl+2, L-Ctrl+7) that returning to that same submenu the option to go back to active was in a different spot (A, A, L-Ctrl+2, L-Ctrl+6). This, I think is causing any subsequent commands to be transposed. Although, I understand you are using an API to interface? so this shouldn't be a factor... or would it? Of course, I have no idea what the man behind the curtain looks like so to speak.

@Uisce Instead of "Engage my target with bombs" try use e.g. "Engage ground target with bombs" or "Engage infantry with bombs".

Apply the pause between recipient and command e.g. "Three,... attack artillery with GBUs."

Whoops! yes, you are correct, of course :smilewink:. I was going off memory.

Slainte

Are you using anything else such as SRS?

Yes i have it installed but am not using it doing the single player stuff

I've run into an issue where I have to press my transit button a second time for my commands to be executed. IE: "Nellis<pause>, request startup". I get all the beeps that it's recognized, but I then have to toggle the radio again for it to show up. It's this way for all commands. It also does it on the Caucus map, and in multiplayer as well.

Some info: this started happening in the A10C(only module I fly) with the Open Beta(I know the open beta was updated recently). I did also just transfer my beta to a SSD around the same time this happened. I made sure to change the path to the new folder in the VAICOM settings however.

Any ideas? I did a search and found a few references in this thread of this happening before, and it seemed to be a bug with either the beta version or the module. So not sure if this is that same problem coming back or ?

i need help to redirect output to headset

Good afternoon

I can not redirect the output of the communications and messages to my headset and therefore I can not use that feature of Vaicom. Could someone explain me step by step to get to direct the communications to my head set and the rest of the sound to the speakers of the computer? .thanks in advance
