I poked around in permissions and such, and the channel settings, and couldn't find anything that is labeled anything close to Whisper or targeting or any of that.  I am not at all good with TS3, I don't know it and never really did.  I just know how to do a few things, and to host a TS3 server that auto-restarts itself if crashed, and starts up by itself if the Windows server hosting it is restarted.  Wish I could help more - I'm not even familiar with this feature, though of course I did read about it after seeing your post here.

If there is something we can do, we will - just gotta identify what that thing is, cuz I can't find anything.

 

Thank you very much, sir

I try to find some more to have it working and if it does I'll let you know (just for your information) 

Thank you Keed. Here a video at TS of VG with a non-working Push to Whipser:

Gents,

As it is known of course in TS3 you have a 'Push To Talk' and there is also a 'Push to Whisper'. As I'm familiar with 'Push to Whiper' I tested this option many times (with other members), but 'Push to Whisper' seems to be protected (or something?)  to use that option and the voice message that follows is: 'No whisper target found'

Reason to have Push to Whisper in 'Fligth Simulators': it's possible to communicate with other 'Mission' channels ('Mission Commander', Mission 1', Mission 2', Mission 3')

HERE an example of how Push to Whipser is setup and how it works.

Thank you in advance if the Falcon BMS pilots can use Push to Whisper 

Oh... and now JD and NetRaider have the Pinky switch working...

By pressing the 'Pinky+Missile step' buttons together it opens the 'Air Refueling' door, confirmed by the 'AR Status/NW Indicator' (turns blue).

Handy when you're 'in pre-contact position' with the Tanker and you have to open this door. By doing so the jet is set to 'CAT 3' automaticly, to make the manouverability more accurate/less big. The 'CAT' switch itself stayes in the same position, so even when you are in 'CAT 1'

Thank you, sir :-). It's not a big deal, but to have the DX Shift 'Pinky+TMS' in it's directions available to change quickly from A-G to A-A is nice, when you are searching for A-G targets and you suddenly get nailed by a hostile. If I'm rigth that's one of the features that the F35 has. The pilot can scan/search for A-A and A-G RADAR contacts at the same time. No, we stick to the beautiful F-16. It's just a very good looking oldie, rigth?  

Upfront information: I have mapped all the buttons/knobs and switches so far and looks good in the 3D-world. The only key that is not working is the Pinky (DX shift callback). This picture shows how i've mapped the Pinky;

Hi Kravalenko. Thank you for helping out to have the Cougar mapped with the Alt Launcher. Appreciated. I shall look on Discord now and then and when I see you there I shall contact you, ok. Regards

Happy to help!  Seems that you do not have AVCS CORE - that error message is actually trying to say this, but for some reason there is a file path making it longer, and harder to read:

UNABLE TO CHANGE PROFILE TO PROFILE, 'AVCS CORE (v1.11)' (BY NAME). PROFILE NOT AVAILABLE.

 

As noted in the AVCS4 BMS Download Page, AVCS CORE is required for all my AVCS4 game profiles - presently only publicly available releases are AVCS4 BMS and AVCS4 RON (Ready or Not):

DOWNLOAD:  AVCS CORE

AVCS CORE is a hub profile that loads and updates AVCS4 profiles, and provides common operations relative to the environment, such as BMS for example - these systems include a user settings "Save File System", a fast-keypress/macro maker called "Quick Command Creator" or QCC for short, an optional voice passphrase confirmation system called "Voice Authorization System" or VAS, and more.

VoiceAttack will need to be run as Administrator in order for these files such as user save file to write/overwrite as needed, since these files/folders reside in the VA Apps folder, under the programs folder for VA itself.  Be sure to follow instructions once you have AVCS CORE and AVCS4 BMS initialized for the first time - the event log of VoiceAttack will direct you to include AVCS CORE profile commands into the AVCS4 BMS profile through its profile options menu.

 

Any questions or issues, let me know!   

Thank you very much, sir! Missed that I had to download the AVCS Core. Your profile runs smoothly now. Thanks for the help  and making this wonderful VA-profile possible  . I also watched your YT-video 'AVCS4 BMS - VoiceAttack Profile - Push To Talk Mode Demonstration'. Also very helpful, since I'm rather new with your profile

Import issue VA-profile: AVCS Falcon BMS Radios (v1.41)

Ok, nice to live in Indiana (lower taxes) and even on a lake. Good choice of your wife :-). Please keep me posted as soon as you have the HOTAS up and running. Regards from Amsterdam. BTW, I can't sleep. Had too many Irish (very strong) coffee and ususaly I drink just 2 decaf a day, So I get out of bed and checking in on VG.

^{So,,, JugdeDredd.... how is it going with the Cougar? It's been a while}

Not sure if this helps anybody, still:

I use VoiceAttack but all the voice comms where done with/through UHF, or VHF, depending on the joystick button I assigned on my HOTAS (Thrustmaster Cougar) i.e. in VA Joystick button 20, or 21.

I had in mind to use both Comms buttons - UHF and VHF - on the HOTAS stick for specific voice commands through the required channel (UHF, or VHF). So, voice comms for the Tower, Tanker, AWACS etc. are done with UHF and internal flight communication (voice comms for the Wingman and Element) are broadcasted with VHF.

I have made a setup in VoiceAttack and it works for me to use the HOTAS stick and choose the required comms channel (UHF or VHF) to give the specific voice command.

Note: with this setup in VA for the HOTAS stick on both UHF and VHF all VA voice commands are broadcasted. With this setup it only makes it a bit more realistic to choose the specific broadcast channel to give a voice command.

Yes, you're right. I was checking the connection and if I could join a mission>. That went well and I saw a 4-ship, with number 4 spot available and you as a lead briefing the mission (OCA Strike), but it was too late and shopping time here  . But, I check the sever so now and than, to see if there are real pilots there and join a mission

Thanks for the reply Master Sergeant . I manage to install the update. I messed up some folders.  Just too many back-up folders of different kinds of Falcon version (3.34/3.4/3.5)  Had to replace the update files from my backup drive manually to my HD and then the install worked.

Gents, I tried to connect to the VG server today, but I got the error 'Different Falcon Version'

Yesterday the conncetion to the server was flawless,...... so I installed 'Falcon BMS 4.35 U1 - Incremental Installer' from Benchmark Sims, but the error still occure. Installed Falcon 4.35: 22548 (see picture). Help, please  

Note: I have an image of my HD, made two days ago, so setting back the system without the Falcon BMS 4.35 U1 - Incremental Installer is still there

Hi JD. I have a Thrustmatser HOTAS Cougar also and had also calibaration issues. There a two ways to have the Cougar working flawless with BMS:

Before launching BMS one with Foxy CCP

Launching BMS without using Foxy CCP first

With Foxy:

01. Launch Foxy and calibarate the Cougar manually. Use in Foxy 'HOTAS view to test axess and buttons' (menu bar: Cougar).

02. Everytime and BEFORE you launch Falcon BMS run Foxy CCP and make sure the 'Emulation' button is green and 'User Mode' is selected and click on 'Apply' (see picture 01)

03. Launch Falcon and select 'BMS Full' as the key profile

04. In Setup>Avionics set the cougar to the configarations as the picture shows (I have 'Toe Brake Rigth' reversed, but that's a personal choice)

Do a test fligth and the Cougar should work fine

* Disadvatage when using this methode; you do not have the full callbacks as the emulation 'overwrites' this and there is no profile in the Cougar loaded (tmm and tmj files)

Without Foxy:

01. Go to: 'C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup\TM Cougar (Dunc_DX)' and open: Quick Setup Guide.txt

02. Follow the steps in the Setup Guide. Note: when downloading the Dunc_DX tmm and tmj files to the cougar make sure 'Program' is green (see picture)

03. Configure the Avionics as is written in point 4 in the tab above

04. Launch Falcon and in Setup> Advance choose Dunc-DX key profile (with MFD in case you have MFD's as hardware)

05. Click IN (!) Falcon BMS on 'Apply'. YOU MUST CLICK ON APPLY BEFORE YOU ENTER THE 3D WORLD EVERYTIME (if you don't press Apply, before you choose a TE or a Campaign it can be that you don't have the radar cursors available and you see this occure after you're airborn

Now you have all the callbacks present

Please refer for more detailed information about the Dunc_DX profiles: 'C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup' and open 'BMS Device Setup Guide' and go to page 11.

Saturday I join the Falcon 4.35 training mission (see the Calander of VG), so I be on TS3. If you still have issues you can contact me there.

Regards!

Welcome back to the team @MOKUM! Hope you enjoy the campaign as much as ever.

 

Do fix your TeamSpeak push-to-talk though, please. I was on the verge of reporting you as a troll when your music was blasting incessantly in the Welcome channel .

Had to step down for some time from BMS again. I fixed the Push -To-Talk, but also shall turn off the music as soon as I'm on TS3. Sorry for the inconvenience :-) 

Gents, it's been too long to recall the TS3 settings, but I still do have TS3 backup files (setup for the Hotkey's and Keybindings  as the hotkey.ini and whisper.ini files)  from back in the day.

if I remember it well, these .ini files could be overwritten in the TS3 folder and all the preprogrammed hotkeys and whisper list are there (with IVC and the Group/Client things and so on).

Though I found the TS3 folder (in the Local directory/folder) and I searched for these files I don't see them in the TS3 program/folder.

Q: Is it still possible to overwrite the back upped/preprogrammed hotkey.ini and whisper.ini in TS3? Ad if so… can you please let me know the location in  the TS3 folder?

Thank you :-) 

That was fun. For the first time I flew a mission on the VG server, with real VFW pilots. Everything went very smooth and mission succes (strike on Pyong Yang Powerplant). I didn't expect that real pilots would join, but when I was ramping up the jet, CursorX and Spinor joined the mission. I wasn't prepared for in flight comms, but from now on I plug-in my headset, before I connect to the server. Thank you for this nice mission and Spinor and CursorX are amazing good pilots!

The result of the mission:

Event DPRK Reactor destroyed by CursorX at 18:17:24

Event DPRK SA-2 (S-75) destroyed by Spinor at 18:17:24

Hi gentleman of Veterans Gamimg

After a two year break I'm back in the F-16 (Falcon BMS 4.34) and are happy to found this opportunity to fly online missions again with this community and the available Campaign server. What a great feature to make this possible. Thank you so much.

Though I fly the Falcon for about 20 years (Allied Force, Open Falcon and BMS) I'm not a very good VFW-pilot, but I know the basics, like performing a Ramp Start, Midair Refueling (not in a turn of the tanker) and know how to fire A-A missiles (AMRAAM and Heat Seakers) and A-G weapons (LGB's, JDAM'S and HARMS in it's different configurations, dumb boms etc.) and know a bit about the Wild Weasel tactics.

Before my break I was a member of the FreeBirds and after this wing was abolished I became a member of the 1st VFW. As the 1stVFW started to fly the DCS I signed off from this wing. My callsign back than was Nick-san, but now I'm back I changed it to MOKUM (slang of my hometown Amsterdam-Holland)

Now I'm back here and I'm looking forward to fly online missions with real VFW pilots of the Veterans.

Note; I red the SOP's and understand and shall respect them.

Thank you and regards!
