Quality of life problems in VR

@Rainmaker I am guessing the mention of DCS.exe was a mistake? Do you know which is the correct executable to use for the application specific settings within Steam VR please?
As for DCS, many of us here have it and mentioning it is not like the DCS forum where your post is IMMEDIATLEY deleted if you utter the horrible letters “BMS”! Just today got an email notification of a question about VRNecksafer on the DCS forum asking about using it in BMS, went to answer it and BAM it was deleted… That’s how insecure their little circus balancing act is. As for your SteamVR question, you use the launcher.exe file IIRC (not at my game computer for a couple weeks, sorry)…

@Icer Sorry but the removal of that DCS post was something I did, not the moderators. Initially I posted there as it was the only way I could think of to contact the author of the app, but later on I found out how to raise an issue in his Github project which seemed more appropriate.
After doing the DCS post the prospect of how they persecute people for mentioning other sims preyed on my mind so that was another motivation to remove it. -

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the DCS thing was a total brain fart on my end.
If you haven’t resolved it already, I used the BMS.exe
Falcon BMS 4.37\Bin\x64\Falcon BMS.exe

@haukka81 is there a profile around for Voice Attack?
For DCS i use VAICOMM pro…but that is a different thing as doesn’t use keybindings -
@Virus I believe there are a few available. One of the most popular with great support is available here:

You’re way too humble foxster.
@Virus aside from VoiceAttack profiles, there’s also great another great voice control app - FoxVox by foxster himself

foxter’s application is far more in-depth than my own profile for VoiceAttack, has a great GUI, and is definitely something you should check out (even if you’re also gonna check out VoiceAttack) - it’s free, and VoiceAttack has a free demo you can try out, too, though you’ll not be able to import profiles such as my AVCS4 BMS until you actually pay for VoiceAttack.
My focus in AVCS4 BMS for VoiceAttack is only on the in-game radio menus and making an immersive voice control layer for more natural interaction with them. I’d be proud if you checked mine out if voice control radios is your primary goal. On that note, JanJan’s plugin for VoiceAttack and Falcon BMS is another option to check out, and includes full cockpit controls & radios, with a nice GUI too.
Whatever you choose, there’s no question that voice control is a seriously amazing technology that can add immersion and quality of life to the BMS experience, as well as standard computer use, too!

I was following foxster work, but never used it as before VR, i used BMS not very often.
For now I will stick to voice attack as I already know how it works. But, as i will have some free day I will also dig deep into FoxVox. -

Thanks…
my primary focus is to control radios with voice, like I am used to in DCS with Vaicomm pro.
I know your profile is different, but I just need to use radio in VR without using the keyboard too much. -
@Virus I strongly recommend AVCS 4 BMS if you want immersive radio use.
-
@Virus yes The AVCS 4 BMS is like Viacom for DCS but better, easier wildcards (more ways to say same command) and FREE and still supported. Although I think I heard Vaicom is going open source now that he isn’t developing it anymore…
