dikscratcher Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I have bought and paid for Vaicom pro and have a licence number sent by e-mail. However I do not get a desktop shortcut or anything on my desktop. I cannot activate my licence with the file I have downloaded. What do I do ???

However I do not get a desktop shortcut or anything on my desktop. I cannot activate my licence with the file I have downloaded. What do I do ???Read the manual and the part about the installation. It's a plugin for Voice Attack, so you must install Voice Attack first, and then install VAICOM (copy basically) and import it into Voice Attack, then you can open the VAICOM control panel and validate your keys. It's all very well described in the manual. Then you need to configure it, it's all in the manual. If you still have questions after this, please come back, and will sort you out! Cheers!

oz555 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) So I'm still having issues with my Install. When VA/Vaicom is opened it creates the DCS Openbeta file in my saved games which contains the export lua. Problem is, my DCS saved games is just called DCS, not DCS open beta. If I remove my DCS saved games file and launch the sim, a new one is created, but It's just called DCS. How do I get Vaicom to drop the correct files in my DCS saved games instead of creating a new Open beta file? Edited September 13, 2020 by oz555 Asus Z790 PLUS WIFI D4, 13700K RTX 4090 FE, M2.

Then you need to navigate to the profiles subfolder (under Vaicom) and it should be in there (it is a .vap file) Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In VA settings, make sure to enable plugins and run as admin. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a file called variant.txt? I don't think VAICOM use this file but worth checking. Have you looked in the registry, to see what's there?

oz555 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I had checked open beta in config as I'm running open beta. I did just switch it to release following the resets and it's working now. So a result I think albeit with some odd DCS folder issues. Again, thanks a million. Fingers crossed I won't be back soon... Asus Z790 PLUS WIFI D4, 13700K RTX 4090 FE, M2. HP Reverb G2.

Hmmm, that's actually cool knowledge, because then the VAICOM settings works as inteded. I'll keep that in mind for the future. This why I asked about that variant.txt because that's what it does, but I gather you do it differently. Anyway, awesome you solved it!

oz555 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hate to be back pestering, but here we go. Everything works fine when I boot up DCS, but during the flight Viacom commands stop responding and the program seems to accumulate a huge delay. I get no confirmation beep or commands appearing in VA and it gets to the point where I keep trying commands and eventually, maybe 30-40 seconds later I get a beep and a string of gobbledegook commands in the VA window.
