If you're behind a double nat, as I am, you just can't forward as far as I know :(

I'm double natting, works fine.. SRS is better than you think! :)

Hey Ciribob,

I am almost at the stage of trying MP on a server using your SRS. Reading through this thread, you have done amazing work as SRS adds far more realism in operating aircraft and using radios and RT properly (I am an ATC by trade). Well done mate, keep up the great work :worthy:

Just a quick question about microsoft .NET Framework, as I have no idea what it is or how it works:

Your install instructions state that .NET framework 4.6.2 must be installed for SRS to work - My Win10 has had the Fall Creators update applied. A registry check reported the .Net Framework 4.7.1 is installed.

So is this backwards compatible or will I still need to install 4.6.2 and the codecs?

Cheers!

Dave

I'm trying to set up Voicemeeter Banana. My setup is as follows:

With these settings, Discord works with Input Device "VoiceMeeter Outpur (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO)" and Output Device "Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)":

The same setup in SRS though:

yields this error on "Audio Preview":

with this log:

Any ideas? I need to send SRS audio directly and not through the virtual sound card (VoiceMeeter).

Also, my Microphone choice won't stick, and always defaults to "VoiceMeeter Outpur (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO)" (I want it directly on "Microphone (Realtek High Definition)".

I also use Banana, think i had a similar issue with SRS and ended up using the virtual audio cable as input for SRS which works fine. SRS doesn't save it either but that's just 1 thing to add to your checklist before playing DCS :)

I assume you want the audio directly to your speakers because you get some latency if you pass it through Banana. Asio4All will reduce latency a lot when you send Banana's output to Asio4All.

I need audio directly because I'll be using Banana with a Buttkicker: I don't want comms to add to the effect.

Using the virtual audio cable as output won't work, because I'm already redirecting that output (basically DCS' audio) to my Buttkicker soundcard.

That's exactly the same reason why i use Banana too :)

I don't see a 2nd ouput device in your config though (Hardware out), how are you planning to set it up?

I'll pair A2 to this second mini-soundcard, and pass the main audio to both A1 and A2, with a bass only filter on A2. I also have my mic with a slight gate on B1, but I'm using VoiceMeeter Bananas for that only within Shadowplay (OS, Discord, and SRS all have the Mic directly as input/default).

If I select the virtual audio cable (not the AUX one, that will be for the Buttkicker) as SRS output, won't comms affect the rumble? Even with the low frequency filter, I doubt I can clean it completely; that's why I want to set SRS to use the speakers directly.

Depends on how you connect the cable i guess.

Here's my Banana config:

Hardware input 1 is for my headset mic, hardware input 2 for an experimental extra buttkick channel.

A1 - ASIO4ALL sends audio to my headset (DCS+SRS/TS)

A2 - Soundblaster Z buttkicker amplifier, downsampled to 2 channel (DCS creates 5.1 audio, only have 2 buttkickers and amplifier is just stereo)

A3 - Cable output for mic inputs (works on SRS)

VoiceMeeter VAIO is the default audio device in windows

VoiceMeeter AUX i got currently setup as output for SRS/TS, you should ignore this because it is now setup to only record all comms instead of DCS.

I'm also applying a bit of effect to the mic input so at least my voice sounds more like it would come from a radio.

After having issues with Discord, Teamspeak, Teamviewer, and SRS, I've been doing some digging and found out that VoiceMeeter (and by extension, Banana) when turned on gain exclusive access to whatever soundcard you pair to A1/A2/A3. This means you can't skip VoiceMeeter and send the output directly to your paired soundcard (for e.g. SRS). Interestingly enough, you seemingly can skip input.

I think I fixed it: basically, I pass A1 not only to my VoiceMeeter Main virtual input, but to my VoiceMeeter AUX virtual input as well: on SRS/Discord/whatever I then set the Output Device to "VoiceMeeter AUX Input". Since only my VoiceMeeter Main is passed to A2 (the Buttkicker sound card), I now have this setup:

OS/DCS -> VoiceMeeter Main -> A1/A2 (headphones/buttkicker)

Discord/SRS -> VoiceMeeter AUX -> A1 (headphones)

Since the Buttkicker is not getting the VoiceMeeter AUX sounds, I should have a comms clear Buttkicker! I'm also passing through my mic to get some compression, altough I do have a bit of a delay in a SRS.

Looks good! Yeah there's some mic latency, not that bad though.

Is there anything you think I should change deeper in the settings w.r.t. frequencies and delays? Or should everything stay stock?

Sorry ciribob for the momentary thread hijack.

It's been a couple of months since i set it up, don't really remember what i may have changed in the deeper Banana settings. Messed around with ASIO4ALL to get the lowest latency on the output without glitches. I use the EQ on the soundblaster itself so i don't use any EQ in Banana for the buttkicker but obviously you want more low and less high frequencies to pass through. When you're hearing DCS voices coming from your butt you should probably adjust your EQ settings a bit :)

Hello .

i have problem with SRS. i use the last released (1.4.6.0) , i tried to connect to buddyspike server, wich was a success, but my radio overlay show me "Unknown" on all 3 channels, with a KA-50.

edit: solved i didnt "install" the scripts

I am having the same issue as Gliptal. I can't seem to get past the audio input error. I am also running Banana Voicemeeter for the buttkicker. Thanks for any help!

Well, I am a complete moron. I dragged the executable out of the install folder and that was what was giving me errors. I put it back and then created a shortcut and now I can preview my audio just fine. (Exactly like Ciribob said we should do)

For this - as far as I know the switch only has one position

https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua#L652

So I can tell if its pressed or not - but not if its ICS or Radio - its just pressed as far as I can see

You can remove the line below in the DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua in Saved Games/DCS/Scripts:

_data.ptt = true

Entirely to disable this behaviour so it just goes by the hotkeys set by SRS and ignores DCS button press for it if you like

In DCS the triggers worked flawless like that, if you mapped it to the HOTAS trigger's two stages.

The original switch is a dual-stage trigger like in the Warthog HOTAS. If you pull the trigger to the first detent you talk on Intercom, second stage (fully pulled) you talk on the selected radio, from the panel.

 

In DCS the triggers worked flawless like that, if you mapped it to the HOTAS trigger's two stages.

If the ingame button is being depressed by differing amounts (i get a number between 0-1) then I can change the behaviour - if its always depressed the same when you press the keybinds the behaviour will have to stay as is

I'll try and take a look soon

When I pulled the first trigger stage, I got the Radio menu with INTERCOM, and when I pulled to the second stage, it changed to VHF AM (or whatever was selected on the intercom panel).

There must be two different button definition for that.

No, there are two different "Buttons" Combined in the physical trigger.

They are Joy_1 and Joy_6 I think

Great Discord service for a SRS related installation problem personally sorted by Ciribob.

Thank you sir!

New TESTING Version - 1.4.7.0

.NET Version - PLEASE INSTALL THIS or it may not work: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=53345

Windows 8/10 N Users - PLEASE INSTALL THIS OR IT WILL NOT WORK - Adds the media codecs you need which are removed in the N Version - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions - You'll know when you get the audio initialisation error :)

This version changes how audio volume levels are "boosted" which should make it easier to get the correct audio volume via the Preview Audio button.

Please note - You WILL need to redo you're input and output boost settings - use preview audio to test.

This version also adds an extra radio for the Harrier while the Harrier radios are still being worked on by Razbam. 3rd radio is a copy of the existing radio but allows you to set frequency and volume via the GUI / hotkeys instead of the cockpit.

Please give some feedback on the volume sliders - if it seems better (it should be as its no non linear so the volume makes more sense) - i'll switch this to an actual release :)

Fully compatible with current release version 1.4.6.0 - servers do not need to update :)

SERVER OWNERS - You need to open an extra TCP port for SRS to work and its +1 above your normal server port. I.e if you run a server on 5002 you need to open port 5002 and 5003 for TCP

AutoConnect Script must be in Saved GamesDCSScriptsHooks now instead of just Scripts folder. Just create a hooks folder in Scripts folder if you dont have one

KNOWN BUG

If you get lag while using the radio, press L Ctrl + L Shift + L to fix. This is a DCS bug i'm trying to work around and is triggered by pressing L Ctrl + L. It doesn't matter if that key is bound or not, it'll still cause lag when you press it

Changelog

• Changed how audio is boosted
  
• Changed how volume sliders work (now non linear!)
  
• Added 3rd radio for Harrier as a work around until radios are fully implemented by Razbam
  

Overlay and Overlay Configuration

The overlay has 3 states, hidden, small & full that you can see by pressing Left Control + Left Shift + Escape by default.

The Full state has a title bar that you can click and drag the window around with. The window position will be saved for when DCS is next opened.

The radio status is removed after 5 seconds if SRS is closed or loses server connection

To configure the overlay hotkey, run DCS once to create a config file in Saved GamesDCSConfig which will look something like so and quit DCS:

config = 
{
   ["mode"] = "minimum",
   ["hotkey"] = "Ctrl+Shift+escape",
   ["windowPosition"] = 
   {
       ["y"] = 342,
       ["x"] = 981,
   }, -- end of ["windowPosition"]
} -- end of config

Edit the "Hotkey" section and add the characters from the keyboard you'd like to use instead. i.e

config = 
{
   ["mode"] = "minimum",
   ["hotkey"] = "Ctrl+Shift+1", -- now uses the combination of ctrl shift and 1 together to toggle
   ["windowPosition"] = 
   {
       ["y"] = 342,
       ["x"] = 981,
   }, -- end of ["windowPosition"]
} -- end of config

Dont forget to restart DCS after editing this file or you wont see the changes.

If you want to remove the overlay entirely and never use it, just delete:

• DCS-SRS-Overlay.dlg
  
• DCS-SRS-OverlayGameGUI.lua
  

In Saved GamesDCSScripts

Preset Channel Configuration

Preset channels can be created for all FC3 aircraft and all expansion radios for Non FC3.

Channel presets are created per Radio - full list of names & frequencies here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzd996zJ1t0heZ-t1PpL7vNUIZbXl7pI6De0GThN1Qw/edit#gid=1869108790 )

Preset files are named after the radio (no special characters needed & case is ignored) and are text files with a single frequency on each line.

For example, to create a fixed channel list for the first UHF radio in the F15C:

Create a file called ANARC-164 UHF1.txt or anarc164 UHF1.txt where you installed SimpleRadio Standalone (where the client exe is), add frequencies and save.

The file will be automatically loaded when that radio appears on an aircraft. The frequency list can also be manually reloaded with the reload button. The files are per radio not per aircraft.

As always, thanks for the support and let me know if there are any issues!
