Doc Blues Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This post moved as requested from VAICOM PRO plugin for VoiceAttack Issue still not resolved. These are the entries from the above fourm: 11-15-2020, 04:50 PM I've completed a new computer build, and have installed and set up Voice Attack and Vaicom Pro. From the first attempt to use, I'm having an issue after saying a command. For example, for carrier landing, I say "Inbound" and VA says "Recognize Inbound" but then it says "(awaiting additional input). I had these programs insatlled on the old computer, and it worked like a champ, never received that notation before. I have tried deleting the Export..lua from the saved games folder, which I read somewhere, but this did not fix the issue. I reviewed the settings on Vaicom and VA, everything appears to be set correctly. I compaired the settings on the old vs new computer, and they are the same, except that the old profile had 300 additional commands. I just have no idea what "additional input" it's awaiting. Any Ideas on how to fix this issue would be welcome.

Getting back to the first question, I do have the chatter, AIRIO, Realistic ATC. For the above, yes, the log does say its a match, no action required.

hornblower793 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It probably isn't waiting. I have been looking at my logs more over the past few days and I also get that if I continue to hold the TX button down after a command has completed successfully Away from PC - sent using Tapatalk 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...
Doc Blues Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Well, whatever it's doing, I get no reply from the carrier. Now, I remember haveing issues on the old computer, where I was transmittilng to the closest ship, which was not the carrier. As I remember, the fix was to turn off Easy Coms in DCS. For this issue, I've tried easy coms off and on...makes no difference. One other thing I remember is that when transmitting, the radio would show the frequency I was transmitting on, which is how I figured out I was trasmitting to the wrong ships as the frequency did not match that of the carrier. Now the radio does nothing, remains dark. If I push radio 1 button, it shows the radio tuned to the correct frequency, but when I transmit, it does not display, like it used to. Of course this is an updated version of Vaicom Pro, so I dont know if it is supposed to. Maybe this will help you to figure out where the problem is...other then the operator :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower793 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When you are talking about the radio staying dark what exactly are you referring to - is it on the PTT tab of the Vaicom config or in the cockpit? From your description I would guess it is the F-18. If so, and it is the radio on the UFC you are talking about then this is DCS controlled. Vaicom should show you the frequency you are using on the config PTT tab when you have a TX button pressed 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...
Doc Blues Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Correct, the F/A 18 radio in game. As for the Vaicom screen, it does show the frequency I'm transmittig on, and it is the carriers,127.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower793 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Which mission are you trying, and which carrier are you trying to land on (i.e. Is it a Supercarrier or the Stennis) 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...
Doc Blues Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Mostly I have been using a mission I designed, using Supercarrier (TR), but have also tried the pre installed mission, Supercarrier, Persian Gulf, Case I recovery. Same problem in both cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Blues Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 After watching another video, I went to check something. When I look at the Edit page on Vaicom, it shows 0 keywords. When I open the profile In Voice Attack, it shows 526 commands. It appears to me that Vaicom is not seeing its own profile, and command list.

sthompson Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You don't say what you are flying. However I just did a test in the Hornet. It does not show the frequency of the transmission even when using the radio menu instead of VAICOM, so I think that is unrelated, and probably reflects a change in DCS itself. I did see that the little window just above the channel selector (the one that shows an M if you are tuning manually) changes to an inverted triangle while you are transmitting, and this is true whether you use VAICOM or the radio menu. You also do not say whether you are using Select or Instant Select, and whether you have "Select Tunes Radio" turned on. It might be helpful to know more precisely what you are doing to call the carrier. That is, tell us exactly what you do and say, and give us the log file (saved in the VAICOMPRO folders) with debug mode enabled. Well, whatever it's doing, I get no reply from the carrier.

When I open the profile In Voice Attack, it shows 526 commands. It appears to me that Vaicom is not seeing its own profile, and command list. That's a sign that it does not have a keywords database loaded in VAICOM. I'm guessing that if you press the "Test" button on the Editor page you will get a message in the log about a large number of mismatches. Try pushing the Reload button, and if that doesn't help, then go to the Reset tab and Reset the keywords and profile. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

hornblower793 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 As @sthompson said, the issue appears to be with your Vaicom database (the screenshot of the Editor tab shows 0 commands in the database). If you click on the command phrase dropdown, are there any entries in the list? I think you need to reset your keyword database as follows: 1. Go to the Vaicom Reset tab, select Keywords (and nothing else) and then hit Master Zero 2. Go to the Editor tab and check that there are now a few hundred commands counted (box at the top left of the screen) 3. Click on the FINISH button and follow the steps to sync with the VA profile If this doesn't do anything, you may also want to reset the Profile on the Reset page 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...
