vacs Guide
vacs is a new tool we are testing to enable better controller coordination.
Even when you are available on vacs, you are still required to be always reachable on our TeamSpeak server while controlling!

The vacs project is providing a work-in-progress documentation site.
TX config
To set up how you want to transmit your voice, click on "Transmit" in the lower left corner. Push-to-mute, push-to-talk, and voice activation should be self-explanatory.
vacs features a special mode called "Radio Integration". It allows you to use one single hotkey for both vacs calls and your normal transmissions on Audio for Vatsim/TrackAudio.
When using Audio for VATSIM, you need two hotkeys, one that you use, and one that is internally triggered by vacs and then received by Audio for VATSIM. You can set your hotkey in the "MODE" section, and then set the internal hotkey in the "RADIO INTEGRATION" section and in the Audio for VATSIM client.
When using TrackAudio, you only need one hotkey, as vacs triggers the transmission via the TrackAudio API.
To force the PTT to make a frequency transmission during a coordination call, use the RADIO PRIO button.
Station Profiles
The vacs server will automatically configure your station layout according to your staffed station.
