The ouput device seems to be saved as a string already, if you're familiar with regedit you could check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone to find out what the problem is saving your devices. For someone with a similar problem it helped uninstalling SRS using the installer and re-install it. This will clear your settings so if you have a lot set maybe create a screeny as a backup.

Same issues here, 1 monitor setup works best. 3 monitor setting drops my fps like a brick so that's an easy decision. For the external views very close up view problem i changed a setting in View.lua. Check if you have a View.lua in Saved Games\DCS\Config\View, if not copy it there from \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View. Look for this line (@line 40 now): ExternalViewAngleDefault = 60.0 and increase the value, i'm using 130 now which will give a bit of a wide angle effect but at least the aircraft aren't 2 monitors wide anymore.

Any chance this function could be used to find beacons and get their (active) state?

Rechecked in an F-15. Got SR running, toggle the overlay on, not touching PTT and connect to a server with autoconnect. Change the freq. to the sending freq, no transmission received. Press PTT and it's there.

Same here..

So i created this experimental ATIS channel on the server, just wind info for now, and noticed that when a client switches to that channel you don't hear anything. Frequency isn't going white eiter, only after pressing the PTT you hear the transmission. Looks like a client won't hear others when it doesn't catch the start of a transmission. There are bigger issues but perhaps you can have a quick peek.

In case the devs are reading along, it would be nice to have some more cyclones available so we could create more complex weather. 8, 10 or 12 for example. Of course only if the weather system itself won't affect gameplay performance in any way.

Findind suitable maps is a pain in the b*tt already, took me weeks to find what i needed. Then you'd need to graphically analyze them and get the info you need, then align it to a DCS map by shifting, rotating and scaling so it really fits the map.

Well, i run the DCS-NL server. It's dynamic weather. The METAR is only used for temperature, visibility and fog if any. If you look at the pressure map, that's something you can't get from 1 or a couple of METAR reports. The cyclone info, pressure, position, size, ellipticity and vorticity are retrieved from weather maps. Not very likely you can do this from a bit of lua script.

Looks good Bob! :)

It's not a script but an external application that gets the needed data, processes it and updates the mission.

Ok cool :) Had a try myself too, the one thing that wouldn't work was the http request. If it's necessary to have those files somewhere else then it makes sense Servman had a copy of those somewhere other than under the DCS World directory. Nice job!

Well, the country matches... Probeer 't vandaag zelf wel ff :)

Quick search on this and found this, in case you get stuck: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-04/msg00347.html or this snippet: -- Get the current WAN address for this machine function GetPublicFacingIP() local html = {}; local request = http.request { url = "http://checkip.dyndns.org/", sink = ltn12.sink.table(html) }; html = tostring(table.concat(html)); local ip = ""; for match in string.gmatch(html, "([%d]+)([%.]*)") do ip = ip .. match .. "."; end return ip; end

TS and SR are in no way compatible or anything, you can run them both at the same time though. If you do you should run them both as administrator. There were times when a hostname would resolve into an IP address, doesn't work here anymore but i doubt we're in the same country and on the same ISP. You could try to ping your hostname.

Can't you use your hostname instead of your IP? It would need to resolve though. You can check what yours is on http://www.whatsmyip.org/

Is there a way to retrieve the active runway of an airfield through script? Or even more info on an airfield like precipitation for example.

Now that's a simpit!! And even a thank you note :) Wonder what he does when he wants to fly an Albatros.. But anywho, was thinking more of a command line switch to autoconnect. On the other hand i suppose this is just a workaround for now, if some more features would be available server side then we could create radio channels, ATIS and whatever we can think of.

True, it is normal when increasing the FOV (or decreasing the focal length) but it doesn't look good or like IRL does it?

Yeah already had a peek at a Mirage HUD mod, those files used there aren't there for the FC3 aircraft. I will do some tests what they're actually changing when zooming, if it's the focal length or the actual FOV and will probably start a topic or add something to the wishlist.

Ciribob, is there a way to make a client auto-connect without getting into a plane? Trying to setup a radio channel server side basicly for testing, maybe turn it into or add an ATIS channel one day. And do spectators have a certain position? E: Still a valid question, i got a lot of static but even when there was no audio source playing.. changing the frequency of Virtual audio cable to 48Khz fixed it.

Then it seems there's no real solution to this, it's either a less distorted image without an in-sight HUD or a distorted image with an in-sight HUD.

Ok i managed to get the setting again by moving my 'head' all the way back and zoom in but i seem to be having a problem with the HUD with this setup. Any ideas on that? It's the F-15C.

No no, i didn't only use those values but i went as low as 5 and as high as 350 but in steps. At first i had to zoom out completely and zoom reset would put my nose right on the windshield, when i now use zoom reset the zoom and position are good. And now..... 10 more modules to adjust :P E: For some strange reason my settings got reset or something, not being able to reproduce what i had yesterday.

Well after another attempt it got better, used neutral zoom. Tried 100 for FOV instead of 140.
