WIP DCS A-10C and Teamspeak 3 Integration

[Headspace]

It should work fine with TARS, actually. The control panel may just not detect it. As a general rule the prerelease betas of TS3 are not going to be "imprinted" onto the control panel with regularity. But you can manually install it by putting the plugin DLL into the plugin folder of TS3.

[Neo47]

Copy that. Didn´t testet it so thanks for the heads up.

It does not seem to work with the latest builds. 3.0.1 - 15001

 

Edit: I had to "downgrade" TS3 to 3.0.0 - 14954 and all seems fine. :)

How do I map my joystick buttons to the radio keys? :/ Do I need like a joystick->keyboard emulator or something?

[JaBoG32_Prinzartus]

I have read somewhere that IRL the different RADIOS VHF AM and UHF are connected to only one side of the pilot's earphones.

 

So if there is an incoming call in his left earphne, it is coming via Box1, VHF-AM, and if he hears the transmission on his right, it is coming from Box2, UHF.

Probably Guard is then stereo, i dunno.

 

Can anyone confirm this? Could this theoretically implemented in TARS as well, then?

What stick do you use? Actually you need a software to map key-strokes to joystick-buttons. HOTAS Systems are usually programmable and as such, have a keyboard-mapping software bundeled.

For TM Warthog it is called TARGET, Saitek calls it STT-Profiler, or similiar.

I believe this is correct, if you listen to a lot of comms recordings (Red Flags etc) you can hear different flights/flight and AWACS/JTAC on left and right channels.

Are there any news for an update?

 

I want to install TARS with a friend 2 days ago, but the latest version of TARS isn't compatible with Teamspeak 3.0.

The install folder of TS3 wasn't found automatically and if we select it manually, TARS said "it's not compatible with our version of TS3".

 

 

kind regards,

Current TARS changes being worked on (now that Black Shark 2 is out) include compatibility with BS2 and the very latest Teamspeak 3.

 

Adjusting channel balance based on the transmitting radio was something I was thinking about doing for awhile. It would probably work best if I made this a customizable feature. That way people could turn it off if they wanted to. What does everyone think?

Agree for customizable feature, maybe should be planned as upgrade after the release of the new TARS version (TS 3.0.n and BS2).

Hell yes!!

[Steel Jaw]

Good to know, sooner the better. Cheers. :)

[VTJS17_Fire]

Hell yes!!

This would be AWESOME. Thanks, Headspace.

FYI...not on the A-10...transmissions are heard over both earphones no matter what radio is transmitting.

[Laud]

Thanks for that information! One more point to make it optional.

[Headspace]

Would people prefer a slider bar for balance, or just a set of checkboxes for each radio to come out of each earphone? I'm leaning toward the latter, although it's really just about the same amount of work to implement either way.

[Snoopy]

checkboxes....but honestly whatever is easiest for you...

[Laud]

I'd say checkboxes are well enough. TY for putting it on your list! Also looking forward to talk to KA-50 pilots via TARS!!!

Same.

Checkboxes are okay, if they are easier to realize for you.

I wrote an update about the upcoming patch on the TARS site. It won't be long now--hopefully this weekend!

[Eddie]

Good work as ever, looking forward to it.

[derelor]

Thanks, can't wait to try it out!

[Snoopy]

Thanks headspace....

 

PS....talked to our pilots last weekend (and checked UHF myself) and real world the radios do not broadcast over separate ear pieces. Every time one of our pilots switches to anther radio he will state "push forward, mid, or aft).
