hornblower793 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have just had a quick check on my system and VAICOM works fine (once I remembered to tune my radio to the correct frequency :-)) Have you tried resetting the sliders on the Config tab to see if this works? Which aircraft are you trying in and do you have Easy Comms on or off?

Don't know if this applies in your case. In my case what I have found, is if I happen to have VA running when I update DCS, if I do not close and restart VA after the update, it does not recognize. I close and restart after I get an update, and then all is well.

djacd Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks for the replies; I've continued to plug away and still doesn't work. I've tried deleting the Vaicom directory and re-installing I've re-installed DCS At this point I just want my money back - JUST bought it and I get 1 day's use. For those that it works for I get the attraction for this software but it's a major source of frustration for me. Could be I'm missing something simple so I've taken screen shots of the behavior. It recognizes the command but fails to execute. The only modules active are the ones sold/distributed by ED. (Except the Garmin) I've tried different missions and several aircraft.

Hollywood_315 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looks like you may need to spend some time with keywords training. Go through MS Windows speech recognition a few times first.

djacd Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looks like you may need to spend some time with keywords training. Go through MS Windows speech recognition a few times first. FAQ Section I'm confused, why would you assume that - it's recognizing the phrases but not executing them. When I use just voice attack it recognizes the phrase and completes the command as configured. The confidence level on the is 95. Am I reading that wrong? is lower better? Oh, I have run through twice already ftr. To simplify the commands I have removed the necessity for ATC/player names just issue the commands such as request startup. When you say things like "Chief" before the update is would state waiting for further or something like that - now just say recognized chief So voice training I think is the wrong path.

Having looked at your options, could you turn Run in Debug on on the Config tab of the VAICOM config window and then restart VA and then DCS. If you could take a screenshot of the VA log window when a command isn't responded to it might give us further clues 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...

Hollywood_315 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Command 'request startup' is currently disabled for this session and was not executed. Suggests a PTT config / hotmic problem. Use Config/Export to obtain a fresh VAICOM PRO for DCS World.vap file. Import in VA , follow FINISH the steps. Disable Release Hot if active and SRS/VC integrations to test. Teste with keyboard keys 1-6. Inspect your VA settings e.g. making sure no global hotkey is active. Enable debug mode and look for hints in the log.

djacd Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Debug mode showed nothing - exact same response as before. HOWEVER, your instructions to EXPORT than IMPORT the new profile fixed the issue. Working as advertised. Thanks to you both, Hornblower and Hollywood. I must have corrupted the original profile somehow, although, I did no editing to it other than setting up the Push-To-Talk section. The file sizes of the profiles were/are; Broken: 131,696 Working: 150,885 So ADDING the HOTAS functions to the PTT should have I assume grow the file size but it shrunk. So I must have Fat Fingered it. I've included the working Debug window for reference if others have this or a similar issue. Everything above the "Recognized: 'request startup' (Confidence 98)" was missing in debug mode in the broken profile. Now to add chatter and see if I can break that! :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
