deephack Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi Towsim, Just wondering if you have any news with regards to when the ASR, PAR and GCI modules for Aries might be available? In my clan Aries has become a core component of our DCS World experience and the features these modules will bring to the table appear very exciting. https://www.youtube.com/user/deephack
towsim Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 The current development level is not that stable as expected. Our plan was to create a centralized configuration management to simplify a session startup. Unfortunately, the internet causes troubles if more than 5 clients are involved in the startup process. Beside that, we have two members in our community, who have troubles with Aries Radio. One cannot start TeamSpeak with Aries active and the other has troubles with Aries on Windows 10. As long as these bugs are not handled, I cannot deliver any piece of software. Since the radar applications are tightly bound to Aries Radio, they are effected by these bugs too. Therefore I beg your patience for further developments. Sorry… [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
deephack Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 @Towsim No need to be sorry, Aries airborne radio and Gossipbox are already delivering an excellent experience for us. I'll wait to hear more on the forum. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/user/deephack

lrdangel Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Just tested it out on the latest DCS version and found no issues. I have prepared a new version 1.977, which is not tested extensively. This version should be used only, if all other measures fail. Before you install this pre-beta, please check with the old version the communication with all buttons switched off in the quality management. Last not least, if someone uses Windows 10, I cannot ensure the proper functionality of Aries Radio for the moment. I tried to change over three times, only to get message “Windows 10 cannot run on this hardware”. And this after 16 hours installation with every trial!!:bomb: But I do not give up… If someone has experience with Windows 10 and Aries Radio, please post it here. The pre-beta version is available as download at: http://www.ariescon.com/AriesWingsRadio1.977.zip Hello, I am on Windows 10 and have not had any issues except my DCS World would crash when exiting a mission. I traced it back to Aries Radio. I uninstalled version 1.976a and installed the 1.977 beta and my DCS World no longer crashes...which is AWESOME!! My question is, what changes are included with the 1.977 beta version?

towsim Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 The most complicated procedure is to coordinate all the different threads and processes running at the same time. Especially at the end of a session it can happen, that DCS, TeamSpeak or an Aries thread ends, while another process uses it. This depends mostly on the specific computer and its configuration. Once you have caught such an unreliable piece of code then you experience the next surprise with a new version of DCS or TeamSpeak. It never ends… The main change we had with 1.977 was the reactivation of the protocol system. But even here we found already some trap doors which are solved in our internal version 1.978. The main change in 1.978 is the integration of the C101 with its radio equipment and its IFF/SIF. Furthermore, the terrain profile database was changed to a DCS conform terrain profile.

towsim Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 I just tested the latest TeamSpeak version 3.0.18 together with Aries Radio. It all works normal. Upgrading to TeamSpeak version 3.0.18 is no problem. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

deephack Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Towsim, just wondering if you have any plans to implement an ATIS function into Gossipbox? Of course it's not a very important feature but certainly one of those nice to have things. https://www.youtube.com/user/deephack
towsim Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 I am thinking on it for a while. If it shall work like in the real world, it becomes complicated. ATIS or even a music radio station would be a TeamSpeak transmitter. A single user (transmitter) may speak on more than one frequency at a time. But this is not possible for two different transmitter. The only solution would be to move an ATIS program on a separate computer then it would work. Since you have not only one aerodrome, you would need one computer per aerodrome. I made a suggestion to the TeamSpeak developer to extend their API to earmark transmitted voice packages. This would solve 90% of all these problems for a radio solution. They don’t even answered on my mail. So we have to live with black magic and TeamSpeak as it is. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
USSInchon Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 The good news is that there are many towers, even in the US that don't have an ATIS, so the controller will disseminate the weather to each aircraft upon check-in. Usually this can be quick with just the winds and altimeter, and ceiling and visibility if it is less than 5000' and/or 5 miles (I am a former military and current civilian ATC).
Looney Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 WE use a seperate PC with a pre-recorded message which plays continuously on one of the Aries radio frequencies using some nifty little construction. I have no idea which one, Ill need to ask the member who set it up. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Commodore 64 | MOS6510 | VIC-II | SID6581 | DD 1541 | KCS Power Cartridge | 64Kb | 32Kb external | Arcade Turbo
Snoopy Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 The thing is we shouldn't have to have to create work around a for ATIS it is something the sim should provide. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

towsim Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 DCS Open Beta Dear Aries users, after a couple of tests with OpenBeta version 1.5.0 and Aries Radio I can report, that the current version of Aries Radio is compatible to DCS OpenBeta version 1.5.0. For those who installed the Open Beta for the first time and want to use Aries Radio, simply copy the entire folder: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\AriesWings To C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Furthermore copy: C:\Users\[your username]\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts To C:\Users\[your username]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta I do not want to conceal, that I experienced some crashes with the Open Beta version. But every time after a restart it worked successfully. It is hard to say for the moment, what the reason is, DCS or Aries Radio. Because I experienced even a lot of crashes with Aries deactivated. There is another small problem with the radio panel. Once you click a frequency in the Aries Panel, the keyboard focus stays with Aries Radio. DCS does not accept any joystick or keyboard input unless the DCS window was explicitly clicked again. This bug is already solved in our internal development version. Nevertheless, have fun with OpenBeta version 1.5.0…. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gambo Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I have a problem with Aries . Even if I put off the plugin Aries , still appears panel frequencies beginning the game . the only way not to bring up the panel is remove the string from export:( ....BOW DOWN TO NONE....
Esac_mirmidon Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I´m pretty sure TS only disables the export.lua line for the 1.2.16 DCS version, not the Open Beta one. " You must think in russian.."

NeilWillis Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Yes, you will need to point it at the Beta install for the system to work. The alternative is to go into the export.lua file in your saved games\DCS Open Beta\scripts folder, and simply add three dashes --- in front of the Aries radio dofile line. The dashes just cancel out the line. To reinstate, just remove the dashes again.
towsim Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 @Gambo The normal way to deactivate Aries is to use the TeamSpeak menu Plugins/Aries Radio/Export.lua entry on/off It deactivates the ‘dofile’ entry in export.lua. After that, no Aries Software is started in DCS anymore and the frequency panel does not come up. It normally works for the Open Beta Installation too. But this depends on the version of Aries. If you simply copied the Aries files to DCS version 1.5.0 as instructed in post #1095 then you need to modify export.lua manually. Because some registry entries are missing to find the Open Beta.

Gizzy Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 AriesProtocol.exe TS seems to be crashing out an awful lot even without Aries .... On my W10 system AriesProtocol.exe is started with TS start even though Aries is disengaged in the plugin and the lua. Is this normal... Cheers...
