markturner1960 Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 After all the work put into this, its almost there....but 1 glaring omission is the ability to fade each channel, so you have box 1 in the left ear, box 2 in the right ( Like SRS has !!!!!!!!!) Currently it is impossible to tell which freq someone is transmitting on.........surely a basic feature? My buddies and I have been really trying to use it, but almost every flight, there are issues....someone cant hear everyone, another can only hear whats transmitted on one channnel etc....... Can this be sorted ? Or we are back to using SRS......... System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
ShuRugal Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 I've never seen an aircraft com panel with the ability to split radios between ears IRL. I know that Air Traffic Controllers do this so they can work multiple sectors at once, but i've never heard of it in an aircraft. Certainly none of the radios on aircraft modeled in DCS have a balance knob. As far as knowing which radio you're receiving on, most DCS aircraft do have a visual indicator to show when they are receiving so that you can identify what radio a call came over. 3
markturner1960 Posted February 17, 2024 Author Posted February 17, 2024 No, this is not an aircraft specific "feature" ....In SRS, you have volume sliders with a centre, left and right position for each channel. so you put slider to the left so channel 1 comes out the left ear in your headphones and vice versa for channel 2 & the right ear........its incredibly useful when flying multiplayer or multicrew so you can easily tell which radio the voice you are hearing is on.... 1 System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.

What ShuRugal means is that splitting radios is not realistic for any aircraft we have, even if SRS allows it. 2
markturner1960 Posted February 19, 2024 Author Posted February 19, 2024 Yeah, I got that and get that. But its hugely useful System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
ShuRugal Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 I feel like it probably fits within the spirit of some of the other options in the Voice Chat menu (there is, after all, a full Discord-style voice lobby function for people who care to use it), but at the same time i feel like ED may not feel particularly motivated to implement channel splitting, depending on whether or not the base elements required to support it already exist in the VC engine. I'd be all for it if they did, QoL features like this absolutely have a place in a serious sim, even though i wouldn't personally use it. I'm just saying that I feel like this is niche enough that ED might feel it is already adequately covered by having the visual indications of which radio is receiving both in the cockpit and in the VC overlay UI. 1
