any help please.

not sure what you did....but:

- there is no hotkey for request docking (you might programm a sequence yourself, showing up the left panel , goes there, clicks here....)
- Voiceattack needs to run in ADMIN mode if you want to work it with ED

good luck

Send me a PM, Ill send you the correct command.

EDIT - Here's my full profile, around 2600 commands, just pick and export the bit's you need.

The command for docking is one of the following

Request docking
contact the station
computer request landing clearance

I didn't use the key press recorder, I just used the Voice attack command list to hit the correct sequence of keys but put delay's between them, which allows the menus to open before the next command hits.
It works 98% of the time, it can fail if you have accessed the menus on your way to the station and left it on a different tab. It can also fail if another ship appears in your contact list when Voice attack is accessing the list simultaneously, but this fail is rare.

I have a sequence of key presses on a macro button for docking which, as you say, works most times. I've tried the same sequence in VoiceAttack but for some reason the sequence doesn't even start, like it doesn't like pressing the 1 button for opening the panel! Voiceattack is recognising the command OK and I even get my chosen Astra affirmative response but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Gotta make sure your hotkeys are set up in the game to accommodate the voice attack.

My docking request macro is:

Press 1 key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press E key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release
Pause 0.3 seconds
Press E key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release
Pause 0.3 seconds
Press Space key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release
Press S key and hold for 0.1. seconds and release
Press Space key and hold for 0.1 seconds and release
Pause 0.3 seconds
Press 1 key and hold for 0.1. seconds and release

Sometimes the game will 'hop' just a tad and throws it off, but it's a rare moment.

Activation command it 'Request Docking'.

Thanks, yes, that's exactly what I have and only asking it to press keys I have actually set up and use manually - these all are recorded in my keyboard macro key and work fine with a single press of that. Even if I set up voice attack just to press '1' ie open left hand panel, it doesn't do it.

Mine is pretty much same as the one above... except after pressing the space key to select the docking dialogue I then have it press 'Q' twice to return from contacts back to the map before closing it with the final '1'. That way I'm pretty much guaranteed never to start on the wrong screen.

[Mr. Bridger]

With VoiceAttack? I would say that is probably too deep in the menu system. The only way would be to record the key presses needed and see if it works but there is no hotkey as far as I know.

When you say, "cant seem to turn them of in game anyway," do you mean you don't know how to do it without using VA, just in the standard game?

If so, it's Systems Panel then Functions.

Apologies if I've misunderstood.

Can be solved with conditions. Try it

It's on the right side menu in the cockpit. you can turn it off with voice attack using a macro, I just leave it off 99% of the time so never bothered to setup a macro.

You're actually going beyond what Voice Attack was designed to do. Voice Attack should be used for setting speed, retracting/deploying landing gear/weapons/scoop, engaging/deactivating silent running, opening the nav and systems panels, engaging the hyperdrive and supercruise. Basically the things you would normally need the keyboard for. You can program your stick, throttle, etc to navigate the menus. The only thing I use Voice Attack in docking for is to "Hand over for docking". This slows speed to 25% and lowers the gear. I do have a "Nav screen" command that will open the left screen and also a "move away" command that will press and hold the pitch up key for 4 seconds to move away from the star, but for docking requests, I usually open the nav panel with voice or manually, use my controller to tab to contacts, select the station and then select Request Docking. I found it to be a major pain in the rear end to program Voice Attack to do that automatically and it just didn't work for me.

Yes and no. Voice attack can certainly perform the docking request procedure, it just needs a standard place to start. I am usually on the "navigation" tab if I am flying around about to dock. So I have my macro that works when it starts on the navigation tab. It goes to contacts, requests docking, goes back to navigation, and closes:

"Target Panel", "next panel tab", "next panel tab", "UI panel select", "UI Panel down", "UI Panel Select", "previous panel tab", "previous panel tab", "Target Panel"

Where you are doing what VA wasn't designed to do is, don't record with the game open and fullscreened if it locks up when it is open. Record your macros with Voice Attack having focus. Set method to directx, check combine key presses, and record pauses, with equalize pauses to .1 seconds. Record your macro then accept. That's all. Remember it doesn't record joystick presses, so if you want to macro a joystick button you need to set a second hotkey for the action in the game's controls. As others have said, make sure you are running Voice Attack as admin -- right click on icon, properties, compatability, run as admin (just in case you or someone else doesn't know how to set that). Running your games as admin too is always a good idea to avoid errors with other programs.

I just created a second command which did not tab across, like "try docking again" or "wake them up will you", you can have some fun by adding replies from the voice attack software...

Can I get some help also, Ive tried the above and when I trigger it nothing happens, the astra voice kicks in and the key presses are sent(tried with chat open to check this) but nothing happens at all

What ever you do don't put boost on it.. I had issues with of a few of my swear words sounds like boost to the computer.. You know traffic jam at the mail slot and your yelling that the other herp derp NPC's in a type 9 in the way.. Next thing you know ya hear the drives charging! and woosh there ya go into a wall..

Hi,

Well, I've configured a VA Command that carries out the Docking Request, it has been tested only a couple of times, so if anyone wishes to use it then you're doing so at your own risk! I'm being held responsible for the loss or destruction of anything, CLEAR!?

Press 1 key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press E key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press E key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press Space key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press S key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press Space key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press Q key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press Q key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release
Pause 0.5 seconds
Press 1 key and hold for 0.02 seconds and release

This is based on my current Key Bindings for controlling the "Interface Mode".


Once it has carried out the request it then goes back to get focus on the first Tab, which is used as a "Home" reference.

Note/Tip: If you bring up the UI Panel, make sure you go back to the first Tab whenever you exit.
