@SemlerPDX awesome, thank you! One of my must haves before I start seriously flying 4.36. For my custom phrases since the menu layout has changed, Iâll have to redo those, correct?

Possibly some, as always, the config file âdata_1â will contain lists in order of all radio commands, each page of a menu starting with a âpageâ variable though not always using the keyword âpageâ.
Among others, there were important changes in formation management pages and a new JTAC page added, too. Go Higher and Go Lower have moved from one menu to another, and for âFLIGHTâ commands, these (for now) must be said as âGo Highâ or âGo Lowâ, as they would otherwise conflict with the commands for Wingman and Element since they have moved to a different page from those groups commands of the same.
Most everything has stayed the same, so no harm just trying it out - or compare with the new graphic that shows every radio menu (Say âOpen the Command Referenceâ and scroll down)
If you need to refer back to the old menus graphic, hereâs a link

Iâd like to try this but the instructions make my head explode, trying to understand them. Appreciate the effort, make no mistake.
I downloaded the core and profile zip files from the link in this thread, but upon renaming the .vax files as I understand should be done, I got a âImport successful, butâŠâ followed by a lot of error messages for both imports.
Then when I start Voice Attack and try to test them, another huge list of error messages with a header message of âUnrecognized catch-allâ for every voice command test I try.
Obviously something is messed upâŠany ideas ? -

Delete any AVCS profiles in your VoiceAttack program, delete the files you changed, re-download the files, unzip the contents of the download and import the included .vax package into VoiceAttack - it says IMPORT THIS in the file name

@SemlerPDX No, itâs not you, itâs me. Let me try again per your post instructions. Thanks for the replyâŠstand by.

Hey, Iâll share some of that there - Iâve not been able to produce a video that would help people very new to the whole thing to follow and use as an example.
Weâre trying to make very complicated things more easy and accessible, and sometimes it takes a bit of help but itâs worth it.

@SemlerPDX Here is an error message I get when I try to import the Core .vax file. The file is exactly as it came out of the download.
âUnable to import Voice Attack Packageâ
This package could not be imported:
Unable to copy package sounds to destination folder: C:\Program files\VoiceAttack\Sounds. (Could not complete operation on some files and directories. See the data property of the exception for more details.)
You may have to run Voice Attack as an administrator in order to import this package. <- I get this error message running VA as an administrator too. -

Because this is the only thing that would prevent the package from populating the Sounds folder with the included sound effects as far as I am aware⊠Restarting VoiceAttack may be required, of course

@SemlerPDX No, I just did the run/admin. function via the properties dialog of VA, per VAâs instructions. After I acknowledge the error message I posted, it gives the âImport successful butâŠâ message, stating how the import executed/disabled various sound, plug in, etc. aspects.
I wish I could post some screenshots but I have no way of making them small enough for the forum. -

@SemlerPDX On the way, thanks.

@SemlerPDX The VG discord says I need to receive a text before I can speak or post there. âŠI donât have a cell phone.
I appreciate your efforts,; above and beyond. Iâll keep messing with it and see if it takes. -

Iâve gone ahead and temporarily disabled the security measure we use on our Discord that forces new users to verify their account via phone number (this has nothing to do with us, only the userâs Discord account). This keeps us from having to play âwhack-a-trollâ all day when some script kiddie gets banned and comes back to raise hell with 10 alternate accounts.
Please feel free to try joining our Discord again, and post up in the âvoiceattack-avcs4â channel under âHelp & Supportâ

@SemlerPDX Will do.

Update: I now have the program working perfectly thanks to the incredible help offered by SemlerPDX. Most people would have blown a complaint such as mine off, but not only did he not do that, he went far out of his way in assisting me.
Great program, great service. -
Dear @SemlerPDX, thank you a thousand times for your quick profile update!!!
Please, let me report a few issues:
-
The new JTAC commands give out QWERTY keys only
(although my profile is set to QWERTZ otherwise).
Tanker commands, though, DO work on my keyboard. -
Some older ones:
âTwo, take the leadâ produces wrong keys (w0 instead of wwww0) -
The term âKickoutâ ONLY works with the prefixes âWingmanâ, âElementâ and âFlightâ, but NOT with the prefixes âTwoâ, âThreeâ or âFourâ.
(Could also be my pronounciation, though) -
âFlight, go higherâ and âFlight, go lowerâ produce key errors (key down/release by variable not set, no keys pressed).
-
-
@Amadeus75 Thank you for the report, Iâll check in on those things.
For the flight command, try âFlight Go Highâ and âFlight Go Lowâ for now, and it will work. That one will require a systems change to implement in the more generic sense, so I had to trim the âerâ from the end to make it work along with the non-flight versions of those commands.
Same thing with the JTAC - had not realized it would hard set itself like that.
As a temporary fix for now, it might be a little while to round up other bugs and fix them, hereâs a version of the config table which will work for any user with a QWERTZ style keyboard:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4dzbaia5r3j5ql9/avcs_config_table.zip?dl=1EDIT 2: The link above has (again) been edited and fixed - this file will work!!
Unzip the file to the location below to replace the âavcs_config_table.coreâ file in that folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Apps\AVCS\CORE\BMS\40\update
If that is not your path it may be this one, depending on where you installed VoiceAttack:
C:\Program Files\VoiceAttack\Apps\AVCS\CORE\BMS\40\update

@SemlerPDX
Thanks a lot, I will try after work -
How exactly does one get the ptt function to work ? I spoke the command listed here to activate it, enabled my joystick in VA, but I still can do commands without ptt.
Trying to use the uhf/vhf buttons.
