Blarney Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Since the carrier inbound comms are not key bound like Salute, anyone have a solution besides saying 1, 2, 3, etc to follow the F key sequence in the menu? Since the carrier F# can be different every time in the ATC menu. 486DX w/turbo button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkku Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It should work with the Vaicom addon theoretically, but I haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMouse Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have used the "Hornet Ball", call. Right now bound to a spare key. Other than that I use verbal versions of "F1" etc. I'm hoping as they refine the coms it will get better, but happy with it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornet ball is hornet ball etc. It's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourorborus Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The latest update to VIACOM works very well. You need to pay a couple of $ for the add on though. You can also define keypresses for hornet ball and salute..... I personally have salute assigned to the same HOTAS switch (warthog pinky switch) as my lights on/off. Since I believe cycling your lights is the night time equivalent anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarney Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nice. So you need to plug it into VoiceAttack or is it stand-alone? 486DX w/turbo button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nice. So you need to plug it into VoiceAttack or is it stand-alone? Yes Vaicom Pro is a plug in for Voice Attack. So worth the cost of entry.

BMGZ06 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Nice. So you need to plug it into VoiceAttack or is it stand-alone? Ya Vaicom will allow you to force a lot of the commands you normally have to go through the entire inbound call process after wave off or bolters. It can be a little tough to understand how to get up and running at first. I am having issues with it recognizing my inbound to carrier calls. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't mostly due to speech recognition limitations that I think has to do with my microphone quality and speech training within windows. I need to be deliberate with every word. You can also combine Vaicom with Baileys F18 V2.0 profile which is awesome and provides a ton of other voice commands with actual audio responses he programmed in. The install of Vaicom is shown in a youtube video but the res of the more intricate setup and programming is not shown and you have to read through the manual to understand a lot with how it works. Just a side note: Buy the Pro version with realistic ATC and AIRIO for the F14 but dont bother with the Chatter extension since it is just a novelty. It just gives you a bunch of canned radio chatter background on the radios contently. It is fun for about 5 minutes but I should have save the money.

True, until you are using the predetermined keywords/expressions, collected in Vaicom Pro manual, pages 50 through 70. Inbound is indeed inbound, but a simple "Inbound" will give you reply from a (nearest?) land based airfield. "Inbound for carrier" what you should use for a carrier check in, I guess... :smartass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyman Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 "marking moms" should do it too, if that is easier to get recognised for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm still new to it! Is that the same with easy comms off? I'll try the inbound carrier command. For good measure I simply printed out those VAICOM manual pages 50-70 as a pdf adobe print menu "booklet" format (resulting in a A/5 size (in Europe at least) little page flipper). Just because there might be alternatives or modifications for better VA recognition/distinction. I definitely recommend it to every VAICOM user.

BMGZ06 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm still new to it! Is that the same with easy comms off? I'll try the inbound carrier command. Be sure to first say the name of the Carrier then inbound or Name of Carrier then Marking moms. Works well. Same goes for airfields on caucasus map. The airfield inbound calls do not work for me on persian gulf. I also found that using the VSPX option works better for me also. I am using easy comms and have the preferences in vaicom selected for it also.

Ourorborus Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I find turning off easy comms and ensuring you have the correct freq dialled in gets the best response. I find if I use callsigns it gets confused, probably due to an Aussie accent. It isn't exactly standard phraseology but if you are on the right freq, just saying the instruction (i.e "inbound, hornet ball, on station) works and is 1000% more immersive and less disruptive than menus.

Razor18 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 True. But if you turn it off, you will have no feedback whether VA recognised what you said already, and you will wondering why nothing happens ocasionally. My 2 cents only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
