You seemed to have missed this ^ Position randomisation is being worked on as part of the new scripts. As a first pass it'll just move the units slightly each spawn so they don't spawn on top of wreckage. What you suggest is similar to what we're doing , the issue with zones and templates is each base has unique unit positioning which we'd like to keep. So say 5 groups at each base, plus then 5 spawn zones , then double again for the other coalition (although you could reuse the spawn zones), it's a lot of mission editor work to lay out either way. You can't use one spawn zone as there is no guarantee units won't a spawn on each other picking a random point in a zone. You can't compare unit points either as units our different sizes so you'd have to do a bounding box around the point, which is ok other than that's a bunch of processing whichll cause lag. We also need to keep the mission size down to make loading in faster which is another tradeoff. We're trying to do our best with limited time and the unique constraints of DCS, hardware and performance for 50 players. :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

There is a preview audio option, just no one uses it :thumbup: There are also preview input and output bars to give an indication of how loud you'll be. The sound mixing is much better than it was, but not perfect. Still working on it. If its very bad, try to get a recording and PM to me if you can! :) The error is you're missing the opus.dll thats included in the zip. Make sure to extract all the files from the installation zip and then run the installer. It looks like you've just dragged the client exe out and run it which wont work :) There is a work around, either the server turns on expansion radios, and you should get a 3rd radio for the mirage OR edit this line: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua#L157 _update = SR.exportRadioM2000C(_update) change to _update = SR.exportRadioA10A(_update) It'll make your mirage think its an a10A and give you full control over the radios but will disable the incockpit ones. SRS just pulls the frequencies out of the radio so no way to override other than by just no exporting the radio info for that aircraft. I'm surprised that easy comms is enforced by the mission though, usually its just on but not enforced so you can override it. Maybe worth messaging the server owner?

That was the exact point - That it only works for those not in an aircraft as it was intended to cover the briefing while the server is spooling up, before you've jumped into an aircraft. That was what was asked for. :) I'm happy to leave as is, or turn it on - it's up to you guys. But as mentioned by a few, and yourself. The idea is that SRS is used in tandem with TS. TS provides a magical god channel used for banter & planning. SRS provides realistic in game comms for in aircraft. It would be more realistic if we turned on all the realism options but I think for now it's a good balance. SRS will not cause DCS to crash, as data is pulled from DCS in a passive way (unless you use in game overlay). If SimpleRadio isn't running, but you haven't removed the scripts, its literally the same as if SimpleRadio is running as DCS is still exporting data the same way regardless.

There IS a lobby feature, it's just turned off for BlueFlag. It activates when you're in spectator mode of Multiplayer. The issue is the lobby is shared as as soon as you're in spectator mode (which is where you are put when you die on BlueFlag) you'll end up in a Lobby with Red & Blue. If you guys want a feature, you can just ask. :) Would you want a lobby feature where you can pick a side, once in spectator mode, BUT also a list of players (like teamspeak) so if a player is listening in you can see? The lobby currently works in SRS the same as in game, you get 3 radios with frequencies so if you all agree not to abuse it, I can turn it on now and Red sticks to Red channels and Blue to Blue :thumbup: The lobby clients will NOT be able to talk to the flying clients, but if you want to plan before jumping into slots, you can. SRS removing the favourites on updates bug is fixed (report if not!), and I know you don't mean to but its slightly frustrating to see that you're annoyed about the updates.... I work pretty hard on it to make up for the lack of updates since before Christmas (due to a lack of home). There won't be updates for a while now anyway, as we're starting work on new BlueFlag scripts which will take up a lot of time instead... :) The idea for SRS was always that it would be used in tandem with TeamSpeak, TS for planning. SRS for comms exactly as you describe :) But see comment on Lobby above ^ SRS should not ever disconnect you on death, if it is, please report it as i've never seen that happen!

They're located where ever you installed SRS :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

That's for the detailed report. That looks like a DCS bug as it used to work, I'll try to replicate on the testing version and report to ED. Thanks for the detailed report! Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Can you post your logs? If it stops working with expansion radios then there is a USB device that SRS doesnt like. Usually because it claims to be something its not (like a joystick saying its a keyboard, weird i know...) I can add the TM MFDS to the manual whitelist for you to try so they'll work without expansion devices turned on :) Yes - Every single aircraft is supported. If new ones are released (or custom aircraft MODs) they should work too, just with default radios :)

I would look in the sound manager and remove / disable any duplicates. Sounds like a driver issue as the change I made is that devices are saved by their unique ID, but if there are two entries obviously for the same device obviously it doesnt know which to pick. You can try uninstalling SR using the installer which'll remove all the registry entries but not sure that'll really do much, sorry.

Back up now :thumbup:

Backwards compatible to 1.2.8.0 :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

New RELEASE Version - 1.3.2.0 .NET Version - PLEASE INSTALL THIS or it may not work: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=53345 Windows 7/8/10 N Users - PLEASE INSTALL THIS OR IT WILL NOT WORK - Adds the media codecs you need which are removed in the N Version - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions - You'll know when you get the audio initialisation error :) This release adds support for channels on many non FC3 aircraft and fixed preset channels loaded from a file for all FC3 radios and expansion Radios KNOWN BUG If you get lag while using the radio, press L Ctrl + L Shift + L to fix. This is a DCS bug i'm trying to work around and is triggered by pressing L Ctrl + L. It doesn't matter if that key is bound or not, it'll still cause lag when you press it Changelog Changed method for saving and loading input and output settings. Settings will be reset on first load! Added support for in-cockpit channels on most NON FC3 aircraft. Supported on: F86 A10c Mig21 M2000c F5e UH1 Mi8 KA50 [*]Added support for channels loaded from files for ALL FC3 aircraft and expansion radios [*]Added Help & Info section [*]Changed installer to make sure favourites & fixed channels are not overrwritten [*]Added hotkey for FC3 & Expansion radios for switching channels [*]Added extra buttons for +/- 0.001 MHz [*]KNOWN BUG: If you get lag while using the radio, press L Ctrl + L Shift + L to fix. You can also not use the In Game DCS overlay to stop it as well (either hide entirely or delete the DCS-SRS-OverlayGameGUI.lua ) [*]Separated out settings for Radio Tx and Rx Effects. You will need to turn these back on Overlay and Overlay Configuration The overlay has 3 states, hidden, small & full that you can see by pressing Left Control + Left Shift + Escape by default. The Full state has a title bar that you can click and drag the window around with. The window position will be saved for when DCS is next opened. The radio status is removed after 5 seconds if SRS is closed or loses server connection To configure the overlay hotkey, run DCS once to create a config file in Saved GamesDCSConfig which will look something like so and quit DCS: config = { ["mode"] = "minimum", ["hotkey"] = "Ctrl+Shift+escape", ["windowPosition"] = { ["y"] = 342, ["x"] = 981, }, -- end of ["windowPosition"] } -- end of config Edit the "Hotkey" section and add the characters from the keyboard you'd like to use instead. i.e config = { ["mode"] = "minimum", ["hotkey"] = "Ctrl+Shift+1", -- now uses the combination of ctrl shift and 1 together to toggle ["windowPosition"] = { ["y"] = 342, ["x"] = 981, }, -- end of ["windowPosition"] } -- end of config Dont forget to restart DCS after editing this file or you wont see the changes. If you want to remove the overlay entirely and never use it, just delete: DCS-SRS-Overlay.dlg DCS-SRS-OverlayGameGUI.lua In Saved GamesDCSScripts Preset Channel Configuration Preset channels can be created for all FC3 aircraft and all expansion radios for Non FC3. Channel presets are created per Radio - full list of names & frequencies here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzd996zJ1t0heZ-t1PpL7vNUIZbXl7pI6De0GThN1Qw/edit#gid=1869108790 ) Preset files are named after the radio (no special characters needed & case is ignored) and are text files with a single frequency on each line. For example, to create a fixed channel list for the first UHF radio in the F15C: Create a file called ANARC-164 UHF1.txt or anarc164 UHF1.txt where you installed SimpleRadio Standalone (where the client exe is), add frequencies and save. The file will be automatically loaded when that radio appears on an aircraft. The frequency list can also be manually reloaded with the reload button. The files are per radio not per aircraft. As always, thanks for the support and let me know if there are any issues!

I realised that too late.... :P Its done now and at least for me it doesnt bring up Task Manager unless DCS isn't in focus. Havent done the release yet unless you downloaded the Alpha? Just uploading now. Should be fixed in this version for you, hopefully. You'll have to reselect once but shouldn't have to everytime! Let me know with the new release that'll be out in 20 minutes or so :)

Sure! I was going to do a release today but should be able to sneak that in as well :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

We certainly could but its not that common an occurrence, plus we can usually restart it quickly so at the minute I dont think its worth the effort. :) Usually we control the round start and end times so we are usually watching for this. This extended testing phase is just do to real life pressures on all of us (sorry). If it keeps happening more frequently we might have to have a go! :D

Restarted :)

Thanks for the reply to all. Hope what ever internal issues there are work out soon! I think the Gazelle is great, I am very happy we have third party helicopters :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Are these radio menu options added by the mission or by another script? If you can post a simple cut down one i can take a look and see if there is a work around :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

You need to turn on "Hide Overlay Taskbar Item" and "Auto Refocus DCS" and then toggle the overlay. If you dont toggle the overlay it wont take effect but then it should be fixed. Helped someone else on discord with the same issue :) So its fixed? I need to take a look at how the sound preferences are saved anyways as a few people are having issues with it. :) Quick Update Work on fixed channels is going well. The current channel is shown by a C followed by a number on the overlays, i.e C1,C2 etc For FC3 aircraft (or expansion radios), fixed channels are automatically loaded from a text file in the same directory as the Radio Client exe called the same name as the radio. I.e For FC3 F15 which has a radio named AN/ARC-164 UHF 1, you just create a text file called ANARC-164 UHF1.txt and put frequencies in, with one on each line. The text file name doesnt have to match case wise and all spaces and non alpha numeric are ignored. You can also edit the file in flight and just hit reload on the channel tab to load new frequencies. Files are per Radio not per aircraft You can get the radio names here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzd996zJ1t0heZ-t1PpL7vNUIZbXl7pI6De0GThN1Qw/edit#gid=1869108790 For non FC3, the current channel is shown if you're radio supports channels and is in the right mode. This should help people diagnose when they've left the radio in preset mode and the frequencies dials dont appear to work too :) Hopefully have an update out with appropriate hotkeys for the weekend :)

No Worries! Just glad its useful :) Which F10 menus are you losing on the JTAC Manpad, the CTLD JTAC ones or some kind of custom F10 menu? Would you mind posting a basic mission with a manpad JTAC, UH1 and CTLD setup so I can see what you're trying to do as a don't quite understand, sorry! If its that when transported, and dropped again, the Manpad stops lasing automatically, thats something I can change :) Either way, I should be able to help! :thumbup: Sorry for the slow reply

Good spot! That button used to toggle... Oh well. Try the attached DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua instead. Just replace the one in C:\users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS\scripts You'll have to hold the green button down for a bit for it to activate, then just let go and hold down again to de-activate :) DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua

Where are you running the radio from on the server? I'd just make sure its running as administrator and also somewhere where it can read and write a file. Maybe copy to Desktop or something like that? This error looks to be why its crashing: Ciribob.DCS.SimpleRadio.Standalone.Server.Network.ServerSettings Unable to save Settings: The process cannot access the file 'd:\srs unsigned\server.cfg' because it is being used by another process. Are you trying to run the radio server twice from the same location? If so, that won't work but just copy the exe and run from there and you can have two servers on one machine as long as you edit the listening port :)

Wow how odd... Have you tried reinstalling the Directx 9 redist as well? I knew WPF .NET used Directx for rendering but that didn't occur to me at all. Good find! Well done on the fix :thumbup:

Here is an unsigned one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/says19tqt4srj4h/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone-Unsigned.zip?dl=0 I've updated to Creator update and all seems well with my machine... sorry can't help more

Nope product certificates. Bought them a while ago. If you right click on the exe and go properties, certificates what does it say? Should say there if it thinks they're invalid I'll upload a non signed build later and you can try that :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

The way SRS takes inputs is it reads the state of all buttons every 80ms and compares that state to the previous state to see what buttons are currently different from before (ie let go or now held down). If you held a button for less than 80ms its possible for the radio to miss it which might be happening here. What does the output look like for the rotaries and switches on the game controller info panel in windows? Are the buttons momentary or held down? You can also try turning on "expanded devices" in the SRS settings which might also solve your problem. Can't diagnose without one of those boxes unfortunately... Sorry!
