 Just wanted to let any one know who is using the above combo you can use a prop 1 to trigger VSA via helmsman this is how.
Have your prop 1 triggered by a PIR activate a small 12VDC relay using a NO contact.  Run this via a printer cable pins 15 and 25 to your computer. In my prop 1 program I used a 25ms delay to allow VSA to start its routine. In my scene I have two talking skulls run by VSA, lighting, pnuematics, fogger and fans all run by a prop 1, RC4 and FC4. This system is running flawlessly.
John I am not sure if this is where I should have posted this, if this is not the right forum I appoligize.

Here is the site for helmsman. It is an interface between VSA and external triggers and best of all it is free.
