If I recall correctly, it comes with a script to help set up the bindings
It's not a simple process but if you are patient and follow the guide to the letter, it will do most of the setting up on its own.
The important bit is the "to the letter", though. If you mess something up, sometimes even starting over won't fix things.
There are also two ways to "pair" the VA with HCS to the game.
1) It can detect your bindings and set up the VA accordingly. This is the risky way. For me, it's always been about 50:50 if it's gonna work or not, but if it does, it's less work afterwards.
2) Let it create a custom binding file with pre-defined VA commands. This is the safe way that works every time, but you then have to go the the Controls settings in game, select the preset it created and bind your HOTAS (or whatever you're using) to the secondary column.
That's the way I do it usually.
In either case, prepare yourself for about half a day of Fiddling with Stuff.
You have to prevail. It's worth it, definitely, but it can be a harrowing experience if anything goes wrong during the process.
If you have any issues, I strongly recommend joining their Discord server where you can get help for your specific case and talk with somebody in real time to troubleshoot it.
Thanks that is very helpful - 2 last questions what :
1. Is this the "HCS Community Discord channel" you are referring too?
2. And would you recommend buying direct from HCS or through Steam?
Once again may thanks.http://forum.hcsvoicepacks.com/forum/news-and-updates/15940-hcs-community-discord-channel

1. yes
2. If you can avoid Steam, I'd do it. Steam takes quite a sizeable paycut for themselves (something like 20 or 30%. I forgot what exactly it was but it was a lot), if you buy it from HCS site, you're giving them 100% of your money.
Don't do it if you're Scottish as the thing won't have a clue what you're on about
Same thing for southern US...
Why doesn't my danged computer speak hick?!?
