Aries Radio System

[doveman]

You could set FRAPS to record the audio constantly (I assume it has such an option, other recording software does) then use an Autohotkey script that mutes your own mic record channel unless a certain key/button (you can set multiple separate keys/buttons) is being held.

I finally have it working but the sound quality is just awful. I understand degradation and all that but side by side on the ramp is so bad we may not use it ever. What am I doing wrong?

[HiJack]

The first flight is sound master and can switch off some or all of the degrading transmissions. Explore the product :D

[towsim]

Check the geographical location of the receiving GossipBox. It shold be in the radio range of all participants. if that is not possible then follow the advice to switch off the range degradation.

New 3.0.17 Teamspeak version available.

 

Tested with Aries ?

[towsim]

Just tested it out. Version 3.0.17 of TeamSpeak works together with the current Aries Version 1.976 / 1.976a.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thanks Towsim.

 

As always great and fast support.

Hi Towsim,

 

since late July I have issues with Aries. My radios were reseted randomly, sometimes while flying, sometimes on the ground. But only, if I'm in DCS (F-15C). No one from my mates had this problem.

 

I didn't changed anything, the problem occurs 2 weeks ago, with the former and latest TS3 version.

 

+ TS3 is 64bit, user account control is off (as in the past)

+ latest vanilla DCS installation

+ no settings (TS3, Aries, DCS) changed

 

What do you need to analyze my problem?

 

 

kind regards,

Fire

Seems this happened here as well. Random with a member of our small group two weeks ago and last weekend I had it happen, myself.

 

To be clear how this shows: in the middle of the mission I triggered VHF AM radio and after the call I got no reply so I tried again and then noticed all channels on the Aries overlay showing "0000" for frequency on all radios. I had to restart DCS, just restarting Teamspeak won't help.

It did not occur again, but the other guy had the same problem as far as I understood, 2-3 times two weeks before... Any ideas, what might cause that?

Sorry, I forget the most important information. :D

That's exactly the issue, I had.

[NeilWillis]

I have had that bug in an A-10C too. It isn't a regular thing, but it isn't just the F-15C that's affected.

[towsim]

Complains received, working on it...

sorry

[shagrat]

No complaints, just information for you so you can look into it... ;)

[sarchy99]

help me plz im begging

 

So i cant get this to work right, I turned on the lau scripts and config the aries PTT but then radio box never comes up in game.

[towsim]

If the radio panel does not come up then you should check the following:

Did you install Aries Radio with administrator rights? Otherwise, some registry entries are not set correctly.

 

• 
  
• Is AriesAirborneRadio.dll available in DCS World\AriesWings ?
  
• Is AriesRadio.lua available in DCS World\AriesWings ?
  
• Does export.lua contain the line dofile("./AriesWings/AriesRadio.luac") ? You find export.lua in C:\Users\[user name]\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts.
  
• Inspect the text file C:\Users\[user name]\Saved Games\DCS\logs\dcs.log. If any problems are caused by the Aries Software, you will find it here in. Normally anywhere at the end of the file.
  

Finally, check the registry entries:

 

• 
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ AriesWings\DCSWorldPath
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AriesWings\DCSSavedGames
  

Both should show the correct path to the DCS World installation and to the SavedGames folder.

 

If you do not see the Aries registry key then check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AriesWings

 

If you start TeamSpeak later on, make sure, that even TeamSpeak is started with administrator rights by Default.

Our group tried using this last night and were getting errors and unable to hear each other. We had installed TS with admin rights and Aries. We are wondering if the latest patch for DCS may have buggered something up?

[feefifofum]

I see Wingnut beat me here :)

 

We'd all used Aries successfully in the past, and I personally had my export entry off when I updated DCS though I can't speak for everyone.

 

My existing Aries installation is the current version, and both TS and Aries were installed cleanly with admin rights.

 

I was flying in an F-15C; the radio panel appeared and reacted properly to button presses; I also heard the static pop when I pressed the mic switch; however, when other users attempted to speak I only heard the error message, and I don't think the others could hear me either.

 

I have not attempted a fresh install of TS and Aries yet to test that, but was curious if others had experienced any issues since the latest DCS patch?

[towsim]

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:

Hi towsim, Ive been using Win 10 since it came out for the public and I have absolutely no issues at all with Aries, not a single Aries crash in the last months for me.

 

132nd did not update DCS to the latest version yet, we are still running 1.2.16.39472.729 (the one before the recent update)

 

Some of our guys had Aries crashes in the last days, that coincided with the TS3 3.0.17update. Not saying TS update is to blame, but as a precaution, we all rolled back to TS 3.016 and we did not have any problems since.

 

hope that helps

[towsim]

Good information, thanks...

[Snoopy]

Many members of the 476th are on Windoes 10 and we updated to the latest team speak with no issues.

[towsim]

That gives me hope...

[Snoopy]

For clarification we have not updated to the latest DCS World 1.2.16 version though.

[feefifofum]

Thank you all for the replies!

 

I hope to have a chance to test Aries more extensively this evening; we returned to standard channels to avoid delaying our squadron night on Sunday. If adjusting settings and a reinstallation fail, I'll give the pre-beta a whirl. I appreciate all the care and attention you guys have obviously put into this!
