AG-51_Sabot Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 To the Heatblur staff and developers, After a discussion about SRS within our squad, the question came up about communication between pilots and RIO's and if SRS will be required or just T/S. I can see where 4 birds are in the air and 8 different people trying to talk to each other on one T/S channel could easily become a goat rope. Are Comm's between the backseater and the pilot being addressed within the module or is there an another fix? "There is an art … to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

QuiGon Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) There won't be any internal voice comms for human players in DCS yet. That won't change with the F-14 module. Such a functionality is planned for DCS for the future though. For now you will have to rely on external software like TS or SRS. SRS already has a build in function for intercom for exactly that purpose. Heatblur is already working with Ciribob (the guy behind SRS) to make sure that this works: One important aspect of DCS multiplayer is communication, and we decided to invest time into making the F-14 radios fully Simple Radio capable out of the box, with ICS, Radio transmission/receiving, pre-defined channels and KY-28 encryption all integrating with and communicating with SimpleRadio. Hot and Cold mic positions are supported for the intercom systems, and the SimpleRadio plugin functions are fully controllable through the F-14 cockpit. Our hope is, that those of you running SimpleRadio in our squadrons and multiplayer environments will find the experience of transitioning to the F-14 smooth and painless, especially on the communication front. Special thanks to Ciribob, the creator of SRS for being supportive in ensuring smooth F-14 SRS support!

ItsGunter Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 One crew per channel and use SRS for inter-aircraft communication seems the best way to do it for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
