DeeJay's Voice Activaded Commands (VAC) Profiles
-
all right so I’ve modified the Dunc_DX key file located in C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Cougar\Dunc_DX and changed
AWACSDeclare 275 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
AWACSRequestPicture 276 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
to
SimDoNothing 275 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 276 -1 -2 0 0x0 0then imported the original Dunc_DX.tmj from C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Cougar\Dunc_DX to C:\Program Files (x86)\HOTAS\Files which I opened in Foxy and I’ve added
Rem ### Map F11 to COMMS down (UHF) for Voice Activated Commands
BTN T2 /I VAC
/O /H DX21after the lines
LBRK 5 2 (0 10 100) ^ (/H Wheelbrakes)
RBRK 5 2 (0 10 100) ^ (/H Wheelbrakes)but still no joy…
situation is now:
-When pressing UHF and saying “Tower Inbound” in basic handling TE (Balkans Theater) I get the comm screen poping up but the command isn’t recognized and the screen only pops up once. I tried by pressing and talking 1 sec later and other ways of talking and this is not a problem with the command not being recognized as it is working perfectly in the VAC Builder test phrase.Sorry for being a PITA Darkman but you’ve really helped me so far, don’t leave me! haha.
Thanks.

You need to modify your current keyfile, i.e. the one you are currently using in BMS > Settings > Controllers. It should be located in your \Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Config folder. Changing the original Dunc_DX.key file in the User\Joystick\Cougar\Dunc_DX folder will not change the file in your User\Config folder.
Have you downloaded the updated profile from Foxy to your Cougar?
Can you get the commands to work in Notepad? If you open Notepad and then press S3 (pinky) + UHF and then give the command 'Tower Inbound’ you should see the corresponding characters ‘t1’ appear in Notepad. If they do, the problem is in BMS (see above to check you’ve edited the .key file that BMS is actually using). If they don’t appear in Notepad then it’s a problem with VAC (though you say you’ve tested that) or your Cougar (see above to check you’ve downloaded the updated .tmj file to your HOTAS).

Thanks Darkman! it’s working fine now!
the only thing is that I would like to have is to not have to press pinky + UHF but only UHF.
what do I need to modify for this to work?thanks again!
-
Do you not fly multiplayer? I use the UHF transmit so much I can’t imagine mapping it to anything else.
First you need to clear the unshifted UHF function inside BMS. To clear the functions simply change your current BMS keyfile line:
SimTransmitCom1 19 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 ```to
SimDoNothing 19 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
Edit your current modified joystick (.tmj) file in Foxy to change the DX21 into VAC like below:
Rem ### Map F11 to COMMS down (UHF) for Voice Activated Commands
BTN T2 /I VAC
/O [b]VAC[/b]This way it will work whether you press the pinky button or not.
-
I don’t fly multiplayer, even if I’d like to but I’m affraid I’m not ready for this yet.
I didn’t have time to try your solution yet but will do it in the next couple of days, hopefully!
Thanks anyway for the help you provided!

bad news Darkman…
I couldn’t find the line
SimTransmitCom1 19 -1 -2 0 0x0 0
in the keyfile so I didn’t change anything.I changed
Rem ### Map F11 to COMMS down (UHF) for Voice Activated Commands
BTN T2 /I VAC
/O /H DX21in my foxy file to
Rem ### Map F11 to COMMS down (UHF) for Voice Activated Commands
BTN T2 /I VAC
/O VACbut when I send the file to the Cougar it gives me an error message that the cougar isn’t available.
After this error message, the Cougar go unrecognized by my system (it was working fine before the message) and I have to reboot it in order to get it back to work.
I have tried this several times and it gives me the same result.Any ideas?
sorry for being a PITA… :S -
After using Shoot for many years, I’ve made the switch to VAC.
So Far, So Good.I start VAC, then I load my porfile, and then I turn on VAC
Question
How do I streamline this so that with 1 click, VAC is started, profile loaded and ready to go?Thanks for the help
-
You read my post above where I clearly explain how to do just that
-
I don’t think that this works… I don’t see the .tmm where u declare what this VAC does.
-
Hi Arty,
this is what I currently have in my .tmm:
Rem # Dunc_DX.tmm, version 1.0, 2011-08-17
Rem # To be used together with all other Dunc_DX files!Rem ### To avoid side effects, it is good practice to use SINGLE keystrokes for macros only.
Rem ### So whenever possible, avoid doing things like “Shift + Key” and use only “Key” instead.Rem ### This macro file will ONLY contain keyboard mappings. Everything that will be mapped
Rem ### by pure DirectX in the BMS keyfile will NOT show up here.Padlock_AA = 4
3D_Cockpit = 3
Wheelbrakes = k
VAC = F11 -
Has anyone used this program with the G940 HOTAS? If so, which button did you use for PTT?

Go to post #40. The link there works fine… I’ve just tested it.

Got it working using the link on post #40.
Great addition to the simulator! TY Dee-Jay
-
I’ve got an update ready for the next BMS version and so has Dee-Jay, so the transition will be smooth and painless

So…it must be ( 4.33 ) just around the corner[emoji3]

Updated VAC Profiles for 4.33 are already in your 4.33 install. You’ll find them in \Falcon BMS 4.33\Docs\Key Files & Input\Voice Activated Commands.
Enjoy!

Hi, I’m keen to use\try VAC but, being pretty thick, I’m finding it very difficult to understand how to get it working.
I have VAC installed and I have loaded Darkman’s profile.
I use a Cougar HOTAS with TUSBA and within BMS I have mapped UHF up to the Home button as per the BMS keyfile.
I have Microsoft Voice trained and running.
The following screenshot is of my VAC settings - I don’t really understand these as they are not straightforward to me.
I believe my issue is with key assignment within VAC for PTT and probably within BMS too.
Appreciate if someone could explain what I need to do to get this working please?

Would still like to know how to get VAC working, however, I have found Voice Attack to be simple enough to operate using Crazy Canuck’s profile.
