Using X55 Rhino with VoiceAttack?

Razrikiel

Greetings!
Im guessing the title says it all? :D
I (naturally) have the game installed and im grateful to say that it seems to work fine.
Also got the Saitek X-55 Rhino hooked up & ready to roll (drivers installed and it seems to be functional).
Finally, I have got the latest versions of both the VoiceAttack Program and the ED voiceattack profile.
I have ''imported'' the HOTAS Full House profile for voiceattack,
and with ''command weight'' at 100%, the computer practically understands every command that I give to it,
even new stuff such as ''10% (for thrusters) etc'' (and replies accordingly to my commands).
So than, what seems to be the problem?
CONTROLS! : D
More precisely;
I have the Saitek X-55 selected by the game as the default Control unit.
And it seems to be working fine (fire, free-flight, yaw, pitch, roll, thrusters, silent running etc),
BUT
1-Some buttons seem to be doing nothing at all during ''training missions'', is this normal? (As I thought X-55 is fully supported by the game)
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
2-EVEN THOUGH the computer understands all my voice-commands, NOTHING happens in the game.
For example; I say: ''Full Impulse''
And the computer responds by saying something like: '' understood, full impulse'', but nothing happens.
Worse yet, even other commands such as ''deploy weapons and or lights on/off'' doesn't work, either.
So, clearly, BOTH the flightstick and the voiceattack profile are working on their own,
BUT they aren't working in cohesion : (
One solution I can Think of is MANUALLY finding and than re-routing all the commands from voice attack to the joystick/keyboard in-game (options),
alas, this process would take to much time and could be prone to mistakes, which would require further time for optimization.
So, what can I do?
Is there a ready profile for X-55 somewhere that you guys know of?
I am guessing the I cannot be the only one here trying to use an X55 with voiceattack, right?
Any help would be appriciated.
Thx for any possible help/replies : )
PS!
I have just imported the X55 profile from Sandcracka found inside the voiceattack profile for the game (voiceattack/hcpack/profiles/binds/ SOMETHING like that).
It now shows up on the options screen, and seem to be working as intended, with one exception:
still, none of the voice attack commands are working.
I must be doing something really, really wrong lol : P

Check that voiceattack is communicating with elitedangerous32.exe and not "active window" as that can sometimes screw you up. Also, make sure voiceattack is passing the proper button presses to the game. Note that some (actually most) commands that are mapped to the hotas in the default profile DO NOT have the default keyboard buttons mapped from the default keyboard profile. They will need to be re-assigned (making sure voiceattack is actually sending the equivalent button presses to the game). Or, you could try and have voiceattack pass over joystick button presses but on my x52 pro that doesn't seem to work. It did on my old Thrustmaster afterburner 2...

You have to make sure you go into ED options -- controls and bind a keyboard key to any command you want voice attack to complete, that is what I did. I know VA is supposed to be able to use joystick and mouse bindings as well, but I found it to be easier just to use the keyboard. I made a list of each key and assigned commands so I would not use the same key for different things. You don't have to use the keyboard in game as each binding can have a joystick / mouse and key bind at the same time ----there 2 slots for each option

Sounds like you're using the ASTRA voicepack, right? I had to walk through mine one at a time and set them to what I wanted. Bleh.

I'd be happy to send you my profile if you like.

Well, I have contacted Pib_Juju and indeed he seems kind enough to be interested in sending me Control profle :)
I haven't recieved it yet (as of now), as I just read his last message and replied to it,
but anyways, let me say in advance: much appriciated, man : )
(I just hope that it is compatible with the 1.6.2 version of ASTRA :D )

@Asmodean 1337; I am using a Swedish Operative System (Win 8.1x64)
and ofcourse BY DEFAULT, my keyboard is set to Swedish as well.
So, just a Little heads-up; By default (as I mentioned above) the Swedish OS is
INCOMPATIBLE with the Voice Attack software.
You won't (for example) get ASTRA or any other voiceattack profile working for the game,
coz the voiceattack program ITSELF will be incompatible with your system.
So, what do do?
Simple! (kinda : D )
Just like I switched my windows language from Swedish to English (choose the US version)
Change your operative system language from Norwegian to English.
It will change your keyboard language automatically as well (at least, it did for me).

I know that it might sound combersome, BUT IT IS NOT : )
You ''add'' the language once,
and than you can easily switch between the two (requires a restart) when you wanna use the voiceattack program or not.
You can also (manually) switch your keyboard language with a single click on the taskbar whenever you want (irrespective of which language
your OS is currently running).
Once you have done this stuff, and the voice attack commands are properly reflected in the in-game Control options menu,
your voice commands will work marvelously, I presume (with a decend mic and IF necessary, increased command weight).
But remember: each individual command has to be the same or else that particular command will not work.

PS!
Actually, this is the case with me, as well.
I checked the in-game Control options menu for my default X55 Profile (courtsey of Frontier) AND my X55 Sandcracka profile (provided by the voicepack ITSELF)
and guess what; all the secondary command parameters are EMPTY for BOTH Control profiles (even the one provided by the retail voiceattack profile itself (ASTRA) )...
So; under normal circumstences, I would have to MANUALLY imput & save all of them (each key-press associated with the key-press section of the voiceattack profile).
BUT THANKFULLY Pip-Juju is going to provide me with a ready-made profile of his own (for use with X55-ASTRA),
so that will (hopefully) save me some time :D
I did this ONCE for my xbox360 controller already, I dread to do this again lol heheh...
