Elite Dangerous - Issues with VR/voice attack/HCS

[mackster]

OK, I am new to all this new stuff. Bought a warthog, struggle with that to get it working correctly through target etc. So I thought get VR (Occulus Rift S) that may help me get more easier views. Still had issue so bought voice attack with some HCS voice packs and now I think I have got so many things I dont really know how to set up properly its all going south.

Here are my (main!) problems:
1: Voice attack I think will be my saviour, but now when i log onto VR, with voice attack in the background, I am unable to select anything. I did once, but since then I cant even select continue on the main screen, check controls or anything. I can look around and such so the VR is fine, but none of my controls are working.

2: Staying in voice attack, I have set up my controllers in that and they appear to work as I can test them there. That is my Warthog throttle, joystick and Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals. I have the HCS Singularity profile and I used the create keybindings tool to populate all the missing keys so I have no errors. Not sure if I am missing something here, I also have the controllers in game setup to the HCS profile too.

All I want to do is to learn this game and looking forward to doing that. However, although I show 15 hours, my main issues are all around physical setup - its getting a bit old now. Can anyone offer any advice?

i never really use voice attack till i lernt my way around in elite tbh.
and even now after 1200 plus hours i still have not set up voice attack

"maybe one day i will take the time"

i know there are sum threds on this forum already about voice attack set up ,
i would start there ,
there are sum youtube vids as well they kinda help. sorry i dont have links as it was a while back

dont get put off by the complex setup too much and as once you are set up it is amazing.
even elite is a complex game if you use all 90 something keybinds lol

but too know you way around what dose what will help you map out voice attack alot easier.

sorry i can not be any more help, best of luck

I have VoiceAttack set up with VR and a HOTAS, though I don't use voice packs. I'm not sure I understand your problem but I can talk a little about what I have done in the last week still I set this up to accommodate my new Rift S.

I created a profile just for Elite and added many voice commands for numerous bindings, i.e, FSD bind is J, and I have that set to 'Engage Frame shift Drive;Engage F S D;Charge Drives;Jump;Drives Engage. This is how it actually looks in the 'When I say' box. To add, I noticed Frameshift didn't work so well. Adding a space seemed to sort it out.

Also, when you have finished editing your profile, even if all you've done is one command change, make sure to apply and click done in the bottom right corner, which will take you back to the main screen. From here, make sure Listening is set to on (the second icon down on the right that looks like a headset).

The big issue for me was whatever I said, only occasionally was anything happening. I found out that my standard headset that hangs on the side of my monitor when not in use, was still the primary input/output device. If you go into settings (the lower most icon on the right that looks like a spanner), click audio and change whatever is currently set to your VR device (for me, it is Headphones (2- Rift S), from there everything worked perfectly. Just remember to change these back if you decide to play without VR using VoiceAttack, or if the boxes are checked, in Windows Settings.

I may not be helping here, just listing the two major issues I had. Not applying and returning to the main screen and profile, and the correct audio channels.

Go to the game shortcut in steam, go to properties, and set the steam input bit to "forced off".

Don't use Target. Just set the controls in game.

Not bad - you?

Don't give up, ED with multiple controls can be daunting whilst setting up, I have a similar setup and it took a bit to get everything working smoothly. When I set up I had to do a lot of google searching and tweaking. I cant give you a cure all fix as all my settings were done ages ago and your devices are different to mine. All I can say is that is does pay off when its all working - you will have to research your specific hardware and problems with trial and error.

A lot of reddit, youtube and steam forums helped me along the way. Focus on one problem at a time.

With your VA problem, do you have joysticks off?
In VA - right hand side bottom - above voice attack settings (the spanner icon) there is an xbox controller like icon - make sure it is on. If it is on, t.a.r.g.e.t software may be your problem and may be worth uninstalling. Heaps of players have issues with target and claim it is the source of their problems.

I'm not really helping that much, but may steer you in the right direction - Good luck!
