I have VA 1.12 with a modified Semler’s profile on Win10 and it works

@k3yb04rd A new update has been posted. Give it a try and see if it fixes your issue. Anyone else who has experienced performance issues should definitely check out this new version…actually everyone using it should update for better performance.

Special thanks to @jojojung for his help in testing and providing feedback, and also @Wheelchock as always for ensuring everything else stayed working. As always, let me know if you find any bugs or issues and I’ll do my best to fix it.

V8 profile has is now available, and is compatible with BMS 4.37.3 (not compatible with earlier versions of BMS).

Fixed suffix command, ready of takeoff, to menu item 4
Adds a new block of combat options to Wing, Element and Flight.
Adds 3 new menu commands
Wing combat 4,
Element combat 4,
Flight combat 3.

True @oakdesign
I think it’s also a good idea to add a voice command to trigger the shutdown phase of VCC in the case, you never take flight and have to taxi back before take off, then the fuel would also be over 6500 lbs and the inflight bit was never active.

A new version is available, and fixes a small issue. This version will work with 4.3.7.3, but has some commands missing.

The two part command …
TOWER
READY FOR DEPARTURE

Works as image below…

No changes to this.

Hope it helps

Amadeus, Ironman,

I am using QWERTY keyboard. It seems changing a few key binds cleared up the 0 key which in turn corrected all the problems I was having. Every thing is working properly, until the “monster” raises its head.
I thank you for your help, greatly.

I recenty intalled this profile. Very helpful that the coms meny pops up on screen.

I am having some dificulties with executing some orders. For example “Two Combat One” pops up during a dogfght but I cant execute any command, whether weapons free or any of them on the list…

How come? Where can I read what I have to say?

@S3NTRY
I have made some work on VA before but my work is like 1+1 while Semler’s is quantum physics, so I’m afraid of messing with it.

Another issue I cannot quite imagine how to implement yet is to get through all of those pages, like pressing “T” 3x to get to the right page I want with the command I’m looking for. For the time it takes to do that, I’d rather just have a reference page on my kneepad to consult.

Thanks for the suggestions though!

I have the same concerns about adding a manual navigation voice command set to the profile. I’m uncertain how best it would be phrased to be useful and not tedious, to be distinct enough to not be called by accident and to not overlap with any existing commands, and to be logically intuitive in form and function.

I truly think the best thing to do is to assemble a list of all radio commands as suggested onto a kneeboard panel, given the limitations of VR.

You are correct that my command reference exists as HTML and so will open a webpage in your default browser (even if it is due to loading the local file included with the profile). The infographic, however, is just a .PNG file - though due to its size, individual panels are quite tiny and is meant to be viewed on a large display or one which can be easily zoomed in and out.

I’ll consider creating some system in future which can manually step through menus page by page and manually execute an individual action by its number all via voice commands, but for now, the best reference would indeed be a list of some kind, preferably on your kneeboard to maintain SA.

@SoBad
Typically, as you know, OSB 12,13 and 14 are typically page select buttons. Don’t know if that might have anything to do with it.

It’s a crazy world. I remember one time I couldn’t connect with my USB-C connector. I unplugged it and turned it around. Not supposed to matter, right? Solved the problem. Go figure.

So, starting with the first step, testing it, then second step, testing it, then third, and on and on and on, and I ended up with a working series of steps (that looked exactly like the original command, except one worked and the other one didn’t). Solved the problem. Go figure. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don’t know about "stand up guy,"😂but yes, I’ve been a US CFI-I for over 20 years now.

I’m not sure if I can get all the military Instructor Pilot (IP) terminology and panache but could try, especially if others are helping. I would probably need a better quality mic, but willing to buy a good entry level one. Most of experience is actually Private level students which is basic “primary” instruction, second most experience is Instrument instruction, and my favorite interest in BMS is air to air: BFM, ACM, BVR (and have done just a little “instruction” in VFS with that), also formation and AAR.

Version 1.0 is live!

Virtual Crew Chief-This should be implemented as standared ramp start procedure in BMS 4.38

@hoover Thanks, but I think it’s covered enough. I’ve been testing extensively for some time now and the release is imminent. It has all the latest fixes & additions. Trouble now is building the tutorial content to explain everything new which I’m working on.

He will be weapons hold until you change the roe. He’ll ask for permission to engage before doing anything. When requested, you either approve or deny it.

@Sabre said in Voice Attack PTT, UHF/VHF ?:

@Atlas said in Voice Attack PTT, UHF/VHF ?:

@Sabre I’ve mapped mine to both UHF and VHF so I can use either one to talk to the AI. I’m using @SemlerPDX’s profile.

Atlas is there a way to use 2 different DX buttons (UHF/VHF) as PTTs in VoiceAttack?

Thanks.

There is a way you can accomplish this, though the native Push-To-Talk hotkey option in VoiceAttack will only allow one.

If you create two commands in VoiceAttack, each with a trigger option of a Joystick button press, one for UHF, and one for VHF, you can use these to toggle listening to achieve something similar to what I have used for my PTT system in my AVCS4 BMS Radio Menus profile for VoiceAttack by adding the “Start Listening” action as the top most action in the actions list.

You would then create two more commands, each with the action to “Stop Listening”, and with the trigger option of your Joystick button set with the checkbox for “Shortcut is only invoked when all buttons are released” - one command doing this for your UHF button, and another for your VHF button.

This way, when you press one of these, VoiceAttack begins listening, and when you release one of these, VoiceAttack stops listening.

Of course, if using my AVCS4 BMS profile, you’d just load it up, and then say, “Set a Push to Talk button” - can set up to 6 total PTT’s as mouse or joystick buttons or keyboard keys.
