Kiwispit Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi I would like the option of sending all comm sounds; radios, master caution, AIM-9 and A/P horn etc to the headset (helmet) but let the rest of the simulation sounds go to the speakers. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 :thumbup: It's fun to already do this with a headset and teamspeak... all the cockpit sounds being transferred would be nice. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwispit Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yes I do this with Teamspeak but am missing the other comm's, you know like the ground crew etc. I prefer to have the other environment sounds over the speakers which I feel is more 'realistic' K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassata Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Can't be done. I route MP3 military comms recordings or Live ATC through on-board sound to headphones for added immersion. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62216&highlight=live+atc [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwispit Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Correct, it can't be done, but it would be more realistic if it could. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well I wouldn't say it *can't* be done... it's all part of the DirectSound API. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelaco Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 In order for this to be possible, the sim might give us an option to select a different sound device for all helmet related sounds. I think it would be a nice addition as long as it's not very hard to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Fish Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) this was a feature on FSX wasnt it ? dual sound cards required though. really nice feature. i can see it being to hard to implement and even if it is, its worthwhile. They could even go 1 further and pave the way for something like TARS but ingame. That would be incredibly cool addition to immersion factors. Maybe it could work as some seperate module for the game, and work in conjunction with all DCS .products given radio usage is similar accross the board. a plugin for the aircraft radio systems to go through thats semi independant from the sim itself.(yet fully integrated) Personally i would pay for somthing like that. DCS: TARS or whatever lol. DCS would bennefit from its own comms device usable across the broad scope of sims that will belong to DCS. Its an essential aspect in fact and one that falls short presently which is not potentially ever going to get better without some ingame attention. .

Frostiken Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 this was a feature on FSX wasnt it ? dual sound cards required though. Well, to a degree. I think what you really need are just dual sound outputs. My keyboard, the front jacks on my computer, the motherboard output, and the sound card output can all be picked as different output devices, and I can specifically pick, say, the front jacks as output for Teamspeak. I still only have two cards, and yes, you won't really be able to do it with just one sound device (if you just have the jacks on the back and that's it), but it's not quite as cut-and-dry as having to have a second sound card on top of the motherboard RealTek.

hassata Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The software has to support it, as FSX does. I can output Teamspeak, MP3, Live Stream, etc. through the on-board sound. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headspace Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The client is, but servers aren't. If you want you can host your own server, can't you? I have it on my test box for obvious reasons since I develop against the client API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens though if you have 20 or 50 people on it. Then you need some serious bandwidth that most people's home connection can't support, and you will need probably a paid rented server.

I never put much thought into it but i had the impression that if you wanted to run a host, you had to pay for it(talking about the software alone). Is that not correct?

Like the 104th and others do. You would also have to do that if the voip feature was integrated into DCS. You would just shift the bandwith requirement from the TS server to the server that runs DCS.

MTFDarkEagle Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is a feature that I would really like. I always have my headset on when flying (TrackIR :D), and having the coms, etc etc going through the speakers is a bit... you know... weird.. In my mind it would be a big increase in immersion, but I can understand if it can't be done. However, as others have noted, it is possible in FSX. But we all know how optimised FSX is :) Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not correct? I think your memory is thinking about Ventrilo, where this would be true. Or at least was true, way back when I ran a couple servers for my EVE crew.

Panthro Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 yeah I use the in game VON and TS3 when playing Arma2 but the best part is the ACRE plug-in for TS3 that simulates terrain interference. I know that TS3 supports 3D sound so why not a coms etc. TS3 plug-in for DCS stuff to?:book: assuming thats even possible as I know how easy it is to mod/add/script stff into anything on the RV engine.:sorcerer: [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headspace Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Okay, so you get 32 slots for free and significant additional with the not for profit license. That makes sense. I run the free one in my test box. I do believe that is how other PC games do it. Look at ArmA, Battlefield etc. I think it is more of a peer to peer thing, but not my area of expertise. [/QUOTe] ArmA/A2's VOIP took a not-insignificant amount of effort on the part of the developers to get right, and it was a feature that had been developed and debugged since ArmA 1. Obviously I can't provide additional specifics due to non disclosure but I would rather see ED continue to develop and debug features in DCS rather than embark on a new VOIP project.
