  • Examples
    • datatape_alpha_pattern_practice.txt
    • datatape_bravo_bombing_run.txt
    • datatape_charlie_ILS_practice.txt
  1. You can dynamically edit the datatape text files and recall them without restarting VA or DCS

Installation

All you need to do to use it is:

  1. download the .vab file and import it into Voice Attack. If you already have a voice attack profile, you can either import this into that profile or you can import it as a separate profile and link them. (VoiceAttack README explains how to do this - https://voiceattack.com/howto.aspx)
  2. Create a coordinate file in one of the following locations (example file included in repo)
  • C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Saved Games\DCS.Openbeta\Datatape\datatape.txt
  • C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Saved Games\DCS\Datatape\datatape.txt
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Datatape\datatape.txt
  • Other Examples
    • datatape_alpha_pattern_practice.txt
    • datatape_bravo_bombing_run.txt
  1. IF YOU USE COMBATFLITE - Export an XML file from Combat flight and move/rename it to one of the names below
  • C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Saved Games\DCS.Openbeta\Datatape\datatape.xml
  • C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Saved Games\DCS\Datatape\datatape.xml
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Datatape\datatape.xml
  • Other Examples
    • datatape_alpha_pattern_practice.xml
    • datatape_bravo_bombing_run.xml
  1. If you are already using an existing profile. Configure your existing profile to include the DataTape profile by:
  • Click "Edit Profile" (Alt + E) on your existing profile
  • Next to the profile name, click on "Options"
  • In the popup window, click the "..." button next to "Include Commands from other Profiles"
  • In the next popup, click the plus sign
  • Select the "Datatype vX.X.X" profile
  • Click OK on all pop up windows
  • Click "Apply" in the bottom right of the options window

Usage

There are 4 total voice commands:

  • Load Datatape - This command will load all uncommented steerpoints the default datatape_txt file
  • Load Datatape Steerpoint <NUMBER> - This command will only load steerpoint X (example 3) from the default datatape_txt file
  • Load Datatape file <alpha|bravo|charlie|delta|echo|foxtrot|golf|hotel|india|juliet|kilo|lima|mike> - This command will load all steerpoints any file matching the name you called. For example if you say "load datatape file bravo" it will look for a file named datatape_bravo_*.txt. You can customize the name of the file as long as you leave the first part the way it needs to be
  • Load Datatape file <alpha|bravo|charlie|delta|echo|foxtrot|golf|hotel|india|juliet|kilo|lima|mike> Steerpoint <NUMBER> - This command will load only the specific steerpoint from any file matching the name you called.

Notes

  • inline.vb file listed here is for informational purposes to show you the inner workings of the script. When you import the .vab file, the inline file is pre-loaded.
  • This profiles only works for the F-16C Viper at this time. More aircraft can be added, time permitting.
  • This profile can cause conflict with heavily modified profiles and will almost certainly have issues if you have remapped your ICP buttons to use anything other than "L Ctrl + NumPad X"
