Greyman Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I find that having used the "options" command, thereafter the menu does have a tendency to pop up, even when disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
450Devil Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It would be helpful if Viacom had a Bugs page on their website where players could notify any bugs they find and include logs, tracks etc. While this thread is good it also includes much discussion which makes it more difficult to separate the bugs from the narrative.

Barracuda_marina Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi guys! Since the last open beta I have issue. When trying to establish communication with an Supercarrier before recovery (Case 1, Case 2, Case 3) (Marking moms.., Inbound for carrier.. etc) - in Voiceattack window the message after recognized my voice messages string "Supercarrier recipient not found" appears. While all the functions of Supercarrier still operated via the radio menu, animated deck crew, meatball, etc. In the DCS Release version, Viacom Pro communication is fully functional. Tell me if it is possible to restore the communication with the Supercarrier in beta. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Sounds like you are trying to send supercarrier commands to one of the support ships, which share a radio frequency with the carrier, rather than to the carrier itself. Maybe try "carrier, select"/"<carrier name>, select", before saying "marking moms" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuman5022 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi - For some reason when I try to tune 31.00 on the VHF FM radio on A-10 mission - the radio goes back to 30.00 by itself, hence I cannot use the radio for the recipients. I have the PRO version, Easy comms on and no select option at all. I manually tube 31.00 but every time I transmit - it goes back to 30.00. Any idea? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance With easy comms on, Vaicom will try to tune the radio to the most appropriate recipient, so it appears to think that the recipient you are trying to contact is on 30.00. For example, if there are two tankers in the mission and you say "approaching for refuel", easy comms will tune your radio to the nearest tanker, which may or may not be the one you want to talk to. I tend to leave easy comms off, 'select tunes radio' on and then say something like "Texaco, select", to make sure that's the tanker i will be talking to when i subsequnetly say "approaching for refuel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Never had much luck in the past (years) getting this going. Coming back to DCS after at least a year away, and a few installs of Win 10 on this computer. I own VA, and purchased Vaicom Pro and the chatter files back in 2017. First question, why is the aircraft I'm sitting in not listed in the PPT window in the config utility?I've setup my joystick for PTT, when I select the button it's transmitting.

OB if you have both. Check "fix reg" just in case. Adjust sliders accordingly. OB for both. And standalone/steam. Close Voice Attack. Close DCS, and run repair. Go to your user's "Saved Games" and find DCS folders. Under "scripts" folder, delete export.lua BEWARE!!!!! If you have Tacview, rename instead!!!!!!! Start Voice Attack. If you have Tacview. Delete the new export.lua, and rename the "copy" back to export.lua Start DCS, and you should be good to go!

GatorNutz Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Viacom Pro (VA) issuing correct command in multiplayer but not working (with SRS) Hello, I purchased Viacom Pro, and it was working beautifully, then I installed SRS and now the AI commands aren't being recognized (even though VA is recognizing them and issuing the correct command over TX1). I have all SRS and Viacom settings as suggested in the manual. It is working fine in single-player mode (with loacal SRS Server), but in multiplayer, the AI commands do not work. For example, if I say "request rearming", VA shows that it issued the correct command, but I don't get the rearming page. The correct module IS listed in the PTT window. THANKS!

I should add, the VoiceAttack cockpit commands that I have still work fine (I have a custom profile being called within Viacom), but the AI commands don't seem to be going through VA. Also, what's weird is that last night, when I exited the server, the rearming/refueling screen appeared...as though it was there all along, but hidden (I had earlier issued a "request rearming" command through Viacom...but the window did not appear).

It communicates directly with DCS. It only uses VA for the speech to text. That's why your plain VA commands still work. But it's strange that it works on SP abs not MP.

So, I followed all of those instructions, but still no luck. I am in IT, so this isn't something that is very difficult (meaning, I am pretty certain I follewed the steps correctly). I have attached a screenshot of the VA log. As you can see, it recognizes the request and issues the command, but DCS is not receiving it. Also, oddly, I mapped "Communication Menu" to my HOTAS Throttle, but nothing comes up when I press it. It seems as though something is blocking communications with the AI. I would appreciate any help on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
