VC Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Playing in VR, reaching the "F" keys to go through the "/" radio menu isn't really possible. Which is fine, because you can use the mouse to click on the options and get what you want. But this only works in FC3 planes. In clickable cockpit modules, even when you bring up the radio menu, your cursor stays as the "blue cross" and clicking on the radio options does nothing. Is there a way to force the cursor to become normal, to be able to click the radio menu? VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

MetalGear_Honk Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi When you open the coms menu in VR you get a second Courser. It is normally a bit below the normal one. And it will only appear when over the menu texts. At last that is how it works for me MetalGear_Honk The threemost dangerous threads to Programmers: Fresh air Bright sun light The horrifying screams of singingbirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I did not see this, I was hovering on the menu, up and down different items and clicking, nothing happened.

MetalGear_Honk Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi Yes in my case I have to move the normal Cross Courser 10cm above the Menu and a bit to the right. Then I can see a white arrow like Courser that comes into view and I can use it. Another way could be the mouse wheel button. It centers the courser in the middle of your view. So looking at the text and clicking the button should bring the hidden courser at the right position.

wormeaten Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 As someone who uses VR mostly because immersion you should considering using Voiceattack. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=143331 This gives you a new level of immersion because you are literally verbally communicating with your AI in Tower or Wingmans. You just need to map one button on your HOTAS for Radio comunication rest you are doing verbally. One advice if you decide to use Voiceattackand VIACOM for DCS in MP together with Teamspeak. You have to set up the same button as a whisper to your self on TS. That way when you are speaking to AI over the radio will mute mic to another participant on your TS channel. I don't know about whispering possibilities on Discord but if there is one should work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you have a built in microphone on the rift so your getting sound, visual and voice commands in one package! 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.

VC Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I've been looking at VA for a while, I might get it eventually. If (or more like when) I get the F-14, that will probably he the final push, so I can talk to Jester properly. Until then though, just looking for an interim solution, though I can't test right now.

spike2450 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 100% just use the basic Voiceattack for now it works brill, i can even send you my profile. with Voice attack and the hotas i don't reach for the keyboard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I did not realise it had a basic/free version. Definitely will try that! The biggest reason I would still need to click though would be the dynamic/bespoke radio menu stuff that some MP servers and campaign missions run. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

fargo007 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Voice attack is totally worth the small fee they are asking for it, and their support is excellent. I use it to drive extended functionality in the menus, where it walks the entire tree for me to conduct certain things like loading passengers via CTLD, requesting a signal flare for CSAR, etc. I also have the F-keys all bound to "Fox One" through "Fox Twelve." So I can just say it, and it chooses it for me. I can walk the menus manually this way. Immersion wise, it's also great for helicopters like the Mi-8 and Huey. The pilot doesn't push every button and turn every knob himself. He relies on the crew. You can mimic this in VA easily. "Ivan, collision light on!" Have fun. Don't suck.

Wolf8312 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 One thing about voice attack. When I say 'wingman' or 'engage' my pilot says engage, so it's as if I have two voices if you know what I mean/ Anyone know of anyway to make it so I can say engage, and there is a simple 'copy' response? Perhaps a mod or something? ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a mod or something? This is normal. Basically when you press a key for giving your wingman some order like engage your pilot say it a true game. There is a mod which turning off your order true game AI pilot voice so you don't hear your own voice "echo". All is in description link I send before.

Icebeat Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have some problems with VA recognizing the commands, so I recorded in Windows Speech Recognition's dictionary the numbers from 1 to 12 and now my inbound command is 1, 1(or whatever airport number), 1.

I have to have the mouse cursor hover over the menus in VR. The blue cross clicks on the VR select-able items in the cockpit, but the mouse cursor clicks on the items in the drop down menus. This is my mileage. Yours may vary. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
