MULTI-FLIGHT ADVANCED TS3 Comm setup

[Frostie]

This is a guideline on how to setup TS3 for two Flights, or possibly even more, with having the ability to listen to your channel normally plus other channels at a reduced volume simutaneously.

 

Basically you have two TABS, one main TAB which you use normally, and a second 'ghost' TAB which resides in the other flight channel and allows you to listen into that flight channel simutaneously only at a much lower volume.

 

This greatly adds to the SA of your flight in correspondence to another flight and is a bonus with immersion, plus when the volume is set at a good level for the user there is no clutter as the quieter channel is easily disregarded.

 

1/

Open a new client TAB in TS3 by selecting bookmarks and right clicking on your current server eg.51st PVO and selecting 'connect in new tab'.

 

eg.

TAB 1 <51>Frostie (Put in your flight channel eg. Flight 1)

TAB 2 <51>Frostie1 (put in the other Flights channel eg. Flight 2)

 

2/

Open settings/options and create a new 'playback' profile named 'Ghost' or your choice.

(to do this select playback, press add, then name your profile and it should be added below default)

 

Select this profile and set the 'Voice Volume Adjustment' slider between 10-15dB less than your default profile.

Then hit apply and ok.

 

With your ghost TAB selected goto 'Self' and set playback profile as 'ghost' or whatever you called it.

 

3/

Open settings/options and create a new 'hotkeys' profile named 'Ghost' or your choice.

(to do this select hotkeys, press add, then name your profile and it should be added below default)

 

Select this profile and delete all the hotkeys from this 'ghost' profile to stop your two clients conflicting.

(to do this highlight a key combo and press remove)

Then hit apply and ok.

 

With your ghost TAB selected goto 'Self' and set hotkeys profile as 'ghost' or whatever you called it.

 

4/

Select your Ghost TAB and rightclick on your Main client in the TS channels eg. '<51>Frostie' then select mute client.

 

This will stop an echo occuring when you talk to the other flight which your Ghost will be in.

 

 

You can change the nickname of this ghost client by rightclicking on the name and selecting 'change nickname'.

Excellent tutorial Frostie. Thanks for sharing !

TARS is a great option for this aswell.... just tune your in cockpit radios accordingly to the different flights. THe only hard part is the requirement for TS3 3.0.0

I've also thought about doing the multi-radio in FC2, but I've came up with a slightly different and a bit more simple solution :) What is against using TS2 and TS3 at the same time? You can go in TS2 for a general channel, where guard chatters are, and use TS3 for all other comms, and still you can have two hotkey setups.

We use to do this for Red Flag's, we would use our vent server and TS. That way we didn't have to try and talk over other people. It worked very well.
