Firstly, let me say how impressed I am in general with this "little" program. Little in size, MASSIVE in capability. the work that must have gone into programming this beauty must be enormouse. So Thanks Shift-E for making it available.
Secondly, let me appologise for the length of this post, but I feel if someone asks for help/reports a bug, the least they can do is provide as much info as possible.
I on the other hand, am probably NOT so capabable as this program and here is my problem.
I have (by the use of USB Codes and my Cougar HOTAS) set F13 as my PTA which works perfectly.
I have written a profile for Falcon4-AF with over 300 commands and Most of them work perfectly.
I want to use CTRL, ALT, F12 as a key command (in Falcon this toggles the lights between steady and flash. There are other similar commands (CTRL ALT F10 to turn Anti-Collision lights on is just another example). I have tried the following methods to get them to work, but fail every time
method 1:
Command 1
Qualifier Key CTRL; Extended Key NONE; Character Key (left Blank
Command 2
Qualifier Key ALT; Extended Key F12
method 2:
Command 1
Qualifier Key CTRL; Extended Key NONE; Character Key (left Blank)
Command 2
Qualifier Key ALT; Extended Key NONE; Character Key (left Blank)
Command 3
Qualifier Key NONE; Extended Key F12; Character Key (left Blank)
Method 3 & 4:
As Method 1 & 2 but with the position of the ALT & CTRL Keys reversed
I have tried with and without the PTA key assigned.
I have tried with Middle Mouse button as PTA
I have varied the duration and pause times
To check if my voice is being recognised I have used the "test Phrase" application and this shows a hit every time.
I then assigned a "success Sound" so that when "in game" I can hear if the command has been received and again, success every time.
However, the key strokes are NOT being transmitted to the sim.
I have tested the function by pressing the 3 keys on the keyboard and they DO work in the sim. I can also assign them to a button on my Cougar and again, they work perfectly. It is only when I try and get the commands issued through V A C that they fail every time.
Am I doing something wrong with the way I am trying to use the Command List/qualifier/Extended keys? if so, could someone pease enlighten this poor defenceless old fool
or have I stumbled into a known issue (or new issue)?
My System Spec:
Water Cooled Asus P4C800-e Delux Mobo. Pentium 3.1 Ghz Processor, 2Gb Ram, 4 SATA hard drives configured in two striped RAID, ATI 9800XT Graphics card (256mb ram), Sound Blaster Audigy ZS sound card, Plextor PX-708A DVD-RW and Sony DVD-RW
This is the first encounter I have had with VAC. I have only been trying to use it for the last two days and I am very nearly going to pay for it but only if I can get it to work they way I need/want it to. the rest of this program is absolutely awesome so hats off to you Shift-E and thanks in advance for any help/resolution received.
