On it already :) Should be two weeks or so Thats odd, the installer specifically backs up that file and then copies it back. tested locally multiple times so not sure why thats happening. I'll make some changes to the installer so it does even more checks! For Red team... that Radio server has run now for months without a restart so not sure what they're on about... Has anything else been affected by the Creators build? The only thing I can suggest is reinstalling the .Net http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=780601 Creators build comes with a new .NET but it should be backwards compatible... You could try starting the radio or installer in compatibility mode with windows 8 by right clicking, and going to properties -> compatibility Not sure why your favourites weren't saved, as I said above that should be fixed now but i'll have another look. :) You'll always have to run the radio as admin, or I cant intercept the hotkeys as DCS will capture them all without admin mode. For the installer, again you'll have to use admin mode for it to be able to create the files it needs to so can't "fix" that as thats how it has to be, sorry :)

Thanks to MillerTime from Discord (not sure of name on here) i've got access to a small Windows Server. If anyone wants their own SimpleRadio hosted, either post here, PM me or get me on Discord (https://discord.gg/baw7g3t) I can probably host 10 or so depending on the amount of users that'll be on each server. Just let me know what settings you want for the radio and I'll give you the IP and port you need. I can configure an autoconnect too for your server if needed :) More Info on SimpleRadio: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169387 Big thank you to Miller! :thumbup:

New RELEASE Version - 1.3.0.0 .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 tidies up a few bugs, the Overlay code slightly and adds new key binds 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 Added Toggle Guard Hotkey Added Toggle Encryption Hotkey Added Next & Previous Radio Hotkey Added Increment / decrement encryption key Hotkey Fixed Radio Effects not saving Fixed Line of Sight not working 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 ) 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 Games\DCS\Config 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 Games\DCS\Scripts As always, thanks for the support and let me know if there are any issues!

I can tell you why this is happening, the frames from Ikarus are being exported at a higher frequency than SimpleRadio Runs at. SRS exports every 0.2 second but is called every 0.1 second (which gave good results with Helios) If you mess with this number: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua#L83 It'll control how often your Ikarus export runs, try setting it to 0.05 instead of 1 and the gauges will get smoother but you'll lose performance as its now doing twice as much work. :thumbup: Definitely confirmed working in Nevada, just tested it. I'd do a reinstall and check the Export.lua as usual. If not, use the troubleshooting guide in my signature :) Thanks for that, Microsoft have a dead line on the main page... :music_whistling: I'll add this to the next release so people can find it! Thanks! I've done quite a big investigation and traced it to the new overlay. For some reason pressing the key combination must turn on some kind of debug mode or something as LUA memory usage doubles when receiving an update until you undo the debug mode with L Cntrl + L Shift + L. Unfortunately there isnt anything I can do about this as its something in DCS that does it. I've tried to replicate in testing version but no luck so far. 00389.827 INFO LuaNET: LISTEN 56320434 00389.827 INFO LuaNET: Receive 56345182 00389.827 INFO LuaNET: Decoded 56345256 00389.827 INFO LuaNET: Assigned 56345394 00389.928 INFO LuaNET: Garbage Collected 56314651 00389.929 INFO LuaNET: Paint Start 56317917 00389.929 INFO LuaNET: Paint End 56317995 With Windows Key Hotkey Weirdness 00395.678 INFO LuaNET: LISTEN 57120082 00395.834 INFO LuaNET: Receive 106464899 -- WTF 00395.834 INFO LuaNET: Decoded 106478543 -- WTF 00395.834 INFO LuaNET: Assigned 106496603 -- WTF 00395.973 INFO LuaNET: Garbage Collected 56319716 -- Back to normal 00395.974 INFO LuaNET: Paint Start 56719112 00395.975 INFO LuaNET: Paint End 56986179

Thanks! Yours definitely sounds worse than some of the others which is interesting I'll make some tweaks in the next release and see how it goes :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

If you're still having it, please send me a recording. It should be much much better in the latest version. :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Fixed on the release as well :) https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/releases/latest If you ever need support, you can get me here too: https://discord.gg/baw7g3t

Sorry for the trouble This is fixed in this release here too. https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/releases I issued a hotfix not long after the problem was reported :) If you ever have questions or need support you can also get me here: https://discord.gg/baw7g3t

Try deleting the in game radio overlay for SimpleRadio. Just delete Dcs-srs-overlaygamegui.lua from saved games, dcs scripts. That'll rule out the radio if it still occurs :) If you ever want support, follow the discord support link in my signature :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Yeah sorry that has to be fixed with a new release. Might get round to it on Sunday evening :) Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Thanks, thats bizarre as I cant replicate with just SRS in my export. Could you try changing you keybind to something else for CDU and seeing if it still occurs? Is L-CTRL+L-SHIFT+L bound to anything for you as well? Glad that fix worked.

For the SimpleRadio Standalone, I suggest you bind at a minimum: PTT Switch Radio 1 Switch Radio 2 Switch Radio 3 You can drop that down by removing the PTT bind if you set the option on in settings for "Radio switch acts as PTT" which means pressing and holding the radio switch will fire your PTT as well For the KA50 there is an incockpit radio selector you normally have to use but as BlueFlag is running the radio expansion option, the hotkeys should work For both aircraft, make sure that you've got the radio overlay open (either ingame one or the SimpleRadio external one) and check that you're transmitting on one of these frequencies: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LYS-K2EBGBZ1RjD0UGUdOkAXJBGw3mmRQZ2cSsdbJao/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 You'll know which radio your own as indicated by the green dot against the radio (or * on the in game one) and the dot will light up (or say +TR) when you're transmitting. If your not seeing that, check that you've actually selected a radio. You can also check everyones frequencies on the map http://gadget.buddyspike.net/ by hovering over the little headphone icon. If you're not seeing frequencies in the overlay, and your connected to a server and in game, check the troubleshooting guide in my signature. Hope that helps!

Ah bugger, that's going to to be used a lot... Thanks for the quick response! Has this ever happened before? Could you try changing you keybind to something else for CDU and seeing if it still occurs? Does left shift + left control + L fix it? Could you post your export.lua here? From saved games/DCs/scripts? Sorry for the trouble! Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Then dont press those buttons... :P To fix, press L SHIFT- LEFT control - L But in all seriousness, thanks for reporting! What do you have those buttons bound too? On the SU-27 they're not bound to anything for me... and neither is left shift + windows key +L Do you have TacView installed? Just had a quick test on 1.5 and I can replicate on the SU 27 in single player and only when the radio is connected to a server but didn't have much time to dig deep. I can stop it happening entirely by disabling Tacview (v1.6.0) by removing: local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') from export.lua and TacviewGameExport.lua TacviewGameGUI.lua from saved games/scripts and then I cant seem to trigger it! So it looks like a conflict between that keybind, DCS, Tacview 1.6.0 only when SRS is connected to a server, and if you hit that key combination.... which is a very specific set of circumstances. I'll message the creator of TacView and see if he has any idea as I have none. I tried with the SimpleRadio export removed, but with Tacview and nothing, and i tried the opposite with just SimpleRadio and no Tacview, but nothing...

https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-SRS-Overlay.dlg#L275 Look in DCS-SRS-Overlay.dlg and search for fontSize :thumbup: Eventually it'll be configurable! :) Great! Glad its working. In my tests the mouse disappeared as long as the overlay had the title bar removed? Takes a couple of seconds to go though and I think you have to click once after toggling the title bar of the overlay away. Can you try it in multiplayer with SRS not running just to make sure that the radio causes it? I'll investigate too. Thanks! :)

Hotfix for all of you attached. README in the zip :) Sorry for the trouble! Added a slight drop shadow too so it looks a bit nicer :) Unfortunately it entirely depends on your Mic setup (my mic is 50+% boost for people to hear me) ... good rule of thumb is -50% boost as a starter as its better to be too quiet then too loud! I leave my speaker boost at 0% Preview audio should give you a good idea :) SRS - Overlay Hotfix.zip

I'll try and have a look tonight. Could you try running DCS quickly without the in built overlay? Just move the DCS-SRS-OverlayGameGUI.lua from C:\Users\YOUR NAME\DCS\Scripts somewhere and move it back when you're done testing I'll check, I probably forgot to update the button state, so it does save, it just says it hasn't! Good spot :) That makes sense, i'll try to make it more elegant. Basically that window is always there, taking up the same amount of space even if its invisible so if it just has one line of text, its still the same size as the "full" view with the title bar. I'll try to have a look tonight and make some new LUA for testing that resizes the window and automatically hides it completely on first DCS startup so you dont get any button clicks blocked by the intermediate minimum window (thats invisible without text) For the cursor not disappearing, I'll see what I can do about that as well Thanks to all for the reports & testing :thumbup:

Good spot! Thats annoying. I'll fix that now so people dont get confused! :thumbup: Edit: And fixed. Hopefully! Try updating again and see if its ok now?

Thats the right pack so not sure why it wont install on your Windows 7. Someone looks like they solved it here: https://superuser.com/questions/362430/i-cannot-install-kb-968211-this-update-is-not-applicable-to-your-computer/362435 Check the last answer: Hope that helps! Out of interest are you planning to upgrade to Windows 8 or 10? I've not got access to windows 7 anymore so can't test anything on it.

Good furball (Terrible screenshot though!) Thanks!

This sounds great! Thank you for setting this up. Going to jump on in a bit for some Mig 15 action.
