VAC Website Down or Suspended
-
Not sure if anyone has attempted to visit the DWVAC Forum recently but I’m getting an “Account Suspended” error while accessing their website dwvac.com.
I have a fully working setup of VAC implemented but was curious if anyone knew of a way to cycle VAC on and off while in 3D? I find myself having to alt-tab out of the game and click on the VAC taskbar icon to cycle it off and back on in order to get VAC working. If I would only remember to do this before I enter 3D…
Other item was wondering how to assign a DX button to the PTT instead of F8 (default). I have a fully working keyfile with an X52 throttle and NXT Gladiator stick. I have it setup just like I want but for whatever reason, I’m not having any luck assigning the 3rd party VAC PTT. Anybody get this working?
Thanks

@luvtofish Yes, I’m getting the same “Account Suspended”
AFAIK, you cannot assign a DX button for PTT in their software. I looked into it years ago. It has to be a keypress.
-
@luvtofish If you click on the wrench icon on lower right then hotkey, it gives you an option of a “global hot key” , which on mine is left alt+F2. It turns listening on and off
-
you can also use “joy2key” to emulate a key press using a DX device of your choice, or in the meantime give foxvox a try which is an excellent tool with great support from its creator (foxster) as well.

Hey Joe, you might be confusing VAC with Voice Attack?
Two different programs. -
@drtbkj Don’t see any “wrench” icon. Are you confusing this with another voice tool?
-
Hi, Badger and Luv. Sorry, Guys, I did indeed think we were talking about Voice Attack
-
lol - I was thinking the same thing… “Wait, VAC also has a wrench/spanner icon for options menu?” haha!
Sucks to hear that VAC has gone under. Voice control is really starting to become popular among more than just us kontrol freaks, terrible time to give up imho
VoiceAttack just got a major update that’s been in the works for nearly a year, finally a dark-mode for the entire application (among so many other improvements). Also, FoxVox’s free voice control for BMS is becoming quite popular, as well.
Lots of options if you want something more up-to-date and maintained by their developers. Best wishes and good luck!

!
In my defense, my VA program folder is named VAC

…Interesting, my version does not a wrench/spanner/gear icon for option/settings.
No biggie
Looks like VAC use days are numbered. I’ll probably wait til 4.37 and change to something else. -
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just found out about this the hard way when I rebuilt my system, and now find that I am unable to register, and so use, this software. I have been using VAC for years, have it configured just so for many sims, and now find myself up a certain creek without a paddle.
Does anyone have any idea of how to get this sofware working or know if there’s any way to contact the dev?
Thanks.
