Since the latest update, it appears that my PTT buttons change depending on the airplane. In the A10, I use TX 1,2 and 3, but when I use the F18, TX1 and TX2 are used. In the past, TX1 and TX3 were used. I seem to recall a new command that changed the radios based on the plane, but I could not find it again in the manual. Is there any way to go back to the old way?

Request refueling

 

So with viacom pro, there is a voice command for "Request refuel" that just refuels the aircraft without opening the rearm window. Does that mean there is a way to add a custom keybind or something to do the same?

 

The voice command works great for me, but some of my squadron mates found out I can do it and wonder if they could do the same.

Vaicom allows to send commands to DCS not usually avaiable through the comms menu, to my knowledge this command also does not exist with a programable keypress, but have a look on the comms section on your controls assignment. If there's nothing there your squadron mates are out of luck.

I cannot seem to find the new manual radio tuning commands either in my new profile or export folder. So how do you get them?

 

 

got it

 

 

I'm having the same problem - enlighten me please...

 

I have VA and Vaicom Pro (registered) but do I also need to purchase AIRIO?

 

I am not using the additional features which AIRIO was designed to support as I don't own the relevant module.

 

However, I would like to add just the Radio Tuning Commands

Are you using the new VSPX speech processing? That would explain why you didn't recognize the keyword collections and why it's not telling you anything is missing. Page 18 of the manual:

"In the keywords editor, you will not get feedback on your VA profile with the TEST button (this may follow in a later plugin update). When in doubt if your VA profile is up-to-date, follow the FINISH steps (see page 37). "

 

Thanks for your response!

No, I am using Windows speech recognition. But that's a good suggestion and I will follow up on it.

If anyone has "Action ..." commands that are working well, I would love to hear any tips you may have. I am mostly drilling on the F/A-18 and Alerax's LSO script for carrier operations. Thanks!

Correct.

:thumbup:

 

There are really no new AIRIO commands on this update, the commands that were added work in the base plugin. This post explains how to add them: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4178807&postcount=3782

 

Actually the ability to tune radios already existed what is new is the ability to do it with preset channels.

I just removed the existing Viacom and reinstalled it.

OK, thanks... I don't own the F-14 module but I'm happy to purchase AIRIO if that's what I need to get the radio presets to work but I am still a bit confused.

Love my VAICOM PRO with VoiceAttack . .. works great. Here is my only issue.

 

In single player mode I hear a mic click when I give a command using a PTT button.

 

In multi-player there is nothing . . gives me the feeling that my commands are not being heard. They are, but would love to have the mic click.

 

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help,

No... thats the oposite from what I said. AIRIO is a seperate purchasse. But the Radio presets are not a part of AIRIO but rather a base VAICOM function.

Right, Ok... appreciate your help, gotcha now... so, where do I find the profile shown in the user-manual for the purposes of copy/paste the two radio items into my existing profile?

 

If it means reinstalling the latest version to get to the new profile, maybe some kind person who already has the radio section in their profile will take a few minutes to export just the radio section to a custom profile and post it here so others can copy/paste the radio section into their existing profile

Hi,

 

I want to try VA again after putting it aside for a while since it was a bit complicated to grasp...

but whenever it is installed (registered version) - the DCS 3D world stops functioning for me.

In the cockpit I get a freeze, TrackIR stops in game (it's working fine if i alt+tab and check it) ,

I can't press any button, not ESC even, the game seems to be running as I hear other aircrafts start their engines...

I have to force close it with task manager, and do a repair to DCS to get back to flying, without VA...

The DCS backup folders shows the removed scripts installed into DCS by VA.

 

I have the latest version.

 

Thanks for the help!

So I've reinstalled Voice Attack and the Viacom plug in to give it a try again. The first time earlier last year, I couldn't get the plug in to register any commands even though the vanilla Voice Attack worked just fine. Not having any time to program my own profile, I put it all away until now. I have the licensed versions and I have updated both Voice Attack and Viacom Pro for DCS to the currant versions. I'm running a windows 10 machine for the operating system. Install all went well, Voice attack worked flawless right out of the gate. I did some voice training and now the recognition is at about 98%. I made a simple profile for the F keys while flying the AV-8B and once again, Voice attack worked flawlessly with that 98% recognition and accepted command. Now I take my time and install the Viacom plug-in letter by letter to make sure I've installed correctly (Running VA as administrator). I follow the manual for the settings that need to be checked or unchecked. To my amazement it goes without a hitch. I just make things simple by not programming anything for PTT and just use the keyboard as it's already set up. The keyboard works just fine for the PTT and I get DCS fired up, hop in the Harrier and I get dreaded red box next to the message, command recognized but rejected 23/56 or other percentages. So I do some more voice training, actually a lot of voice training and I still have the same results. Yet I can load my simple profile in the Vanilla Voice Attack and get close to 100% recognition and commands. I've followed things to the letter and watched many (old) YouTube videos with no real direction to go. I just want this to work, because it looks very overwhelming just to learn the commands to run it and I paid for it.

I can't fix this bloody error and the only language I've got on my PC is good old ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!

 

All possible language settings are set to american english now and it still things its not a valid configuration for windows speech... if I can't train this app, I can't use it!

 

Edit: make sure you have the touch keyboard & handwriting service enabled in windows services for this to work!! Some power users may disable this and that was my problem...

 

No idea if still relevant, but there is a setting in VoiceAttack as well which enginge to use. That defaulted back to my OS language when I messed with profiles. Look somewhere in VA settings.

So... I bought Vaicom pro and its extensions months ago. Finally decided to get it working today, and it's pretty great so far. But I mostly bought it for the F-14, and I have no idea what to say to Jester to make him do stuff. Is there a guide anywhere specific to the F-14 and controlling the RIO with Vaicom pro? Without the menu, I'm a bit lost.

 

Thanks

Look in the Vaicom manual. The list of commands include all those for the RIO. PM me if you need further help and I will see what I can do

Is it all commands you struggle with, or just particular keywords? I had the latter problem and had to add particular words to the Windows dictionary and voice train those. Definitely worth persevering with.

Same. Or just add/use different words for commands. For example, VA would never recognize "armor" for me, so I say "tanks" or "mud".

Hey Hollywood,

 

Are the Utility/Set Inactive & Utility/Set Active commands implemented in AIRIO? I can't see a reference to it in the manual. At the minute it appears the only way to access this setting is to disable AIRIO itself, which is not ideal.

 

Cheers.

I see it now. It was late here when I posted and it was all looking like nonsense to me.

Hi,

 

I think I have an issue with Vaicom or VA and can't find what's wrong... No commands are sent to DCS.

Vaicom receive informations from DCS, modules and theater are properly recognized in Vaicom's PTT tab, all DCS comms are reported to VA window, but no commands are issued from vaicom to DCS.

VA works properly when it comes to send keystrokes (ex. I mapped "Eject, eject eject" to 3x CTRL+E, and it works... *WOOOSH*), so the speech recon isn't an issue.

 

Short example... Instant action : F-14 Takeoff (aligned and cleared to T/O at mission start), I'm trying to abort T/O...

 

 

This is the log in VA window (Easy comms ON in DCS):

18:36:48.452 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 press'
18:36:48.459 Listening resumed
18:36:57.490 Recognized : 'abort takeoff' (Confidence 94)
18:36:57.494 Captured sentence: abort takeoff
18:36:57.912 Joystick : 'Transmit TX1 release'
18:36:57.923 Listening suspended
18:36:57.942 Listening resumed

 

And this is what I get in ProcessMonitor (sysinternals tools) :

If you check the timecodes, it seems no packets are sent after the command has been recognized.

 

I'm running DCS steam edition in my user (non-admin) session, VA (also steam edition) is running under admin session, elevated.

All lua's are properly installed (auto install, then manually checked)

VA and DCS are allowed in the firewall (BitDefender 2020).

Win 10 build 1909, locale is fr-FR, but the en-US speech recon pack is installed.

 

VA and vaicom config :

They are not unfortunately. Also hoping @Hollywood_315 adds them some time in the future. along with a couple others that are still missing.
