@Merlin 71 - Visit http://www.dwvac.com/ to find out about VAC itself.

After a little more testing and some accidental torpedo launches I've added a Push to talk key. So now all commands have to be spoken while holding down the 'h' key. I rationalise this by imaging the skipper speaking into the intercom phone when passing commands.

Otherwise it all seems to work really well.

Off for some more testing off the coast of Honshu.

WB.

I've found that using the 'ctrl' key with the 'pg up' and 'pg dn' will raise/lower the attack periscope to its full extent. This may not be well known as it's not in the manual and most players probably use the icon in the periscope screen.

I have amended the profile accordingly.


Does anybody know if it's possible to assign a key command to the Battle Stations icon?

Bumping this post as well because not many people seem to be into VoiceRec around here.

It really is a great immersion enhancer.

Cheers all,

WB.

Yep, you can either edit "Commands.cfg" manually with notepad, or use SetKeys if you don't like writing code. SetKeys is for editting SH3 key commands but works with SH4 also. It's in the SH3 download section. Good thing about SetKeys is it will tell you if the key you chose is already in use.

I used SetKeys to bind "Toggle Battle Stations" to Ctrl-B and it works perfect If you don't want to mess with SetKeys and if Ctrl-B works for you, replace this code:

[Cmd436]
Name=Toggle_battle_stations
Ctxt=1

with this:

[Cmd436]
Name=Toggle_battle_stations
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x42,c,"CTRL B"

in the "Commands.cfg" file. HTH!

Is there a way to add more commands to fire the aft tubes (7 - 10)? I've wanted to program those too, but I don't know how to do it. Thanks.
