Extract ALL the files, then run the installer from where ever you extracted all the files from.

But i'm guessing you tried that!

I've done a video but its going to take all night to upload. I'll post a link here when it's done

Yeah...I guess > I < was a little vague describing what we'd tried to do to get it working.

We downloaded, unzipped, ran the installer. Downloaded and unzipped files on Server machine, did not run installer. (Not sure about this step)

Opened UDP / TCP Ports on server and launched Server.

Launched Clients, Configured hotkeys, made sure audio was set to both for all three radios.

Connected to server...Connected to Game...Turned on radios...Turned up Volume on each radio...Keyed radio...Nothing heard.

Would sending Export files for review help?

No worries!

It sounds like you've done everything right!

I'd first check your local installation is correct by Running the server on your local PC (just run don't worry about ports)

Use your client to connect to the local sever by using 127.0.0.1 as the IP

Load up a single player mission and jump in whatever aircraft you like. A non fc3 is a better test though.

Press bound ptt and you should see the overlay radio frequency go white for your selected radio. Selected one has a green dot. You should also see correct radio frequencies. If not it points to the export.lua being the issue.

If that's working your local install is good. You can also launch the client a second time and connect again so two are connected and you should then hear yourself.

Next double check port forwarding again on remote server and make sure player export is ticked in server options.

If that doesnt work, jump on buddyspike server and use the simpleradio there. IP is 147.102.19.134. If that works it points to an issue on your server.

Hope that helps!

Video is still processing on YouTube but from what you've tried it probably won't help you much.

Btw do you use Helios or anything else that needs export.lua modifications?

Edit: yeah post export.lua and yes don't run the installer on the server, no need

Second edit: use a joystick for ptt not a keyboard. Removing keyboard support in the next update as when DCS is in the foreground I can't detect keyboard key presses

Finally got round to doing an Installation and overview video, sorry it took a while. Hope this is useful! It also runs through the radios for pretty much every aircraft.



If you'd like to help with this project, please help me fill in this sheet of radio info! It'll also help correct any mistakes I've made with the Radios.

I need your help!

Once I know all the power and gain values I can then start on the Distance Limitations but I can't do it without the data.

Feel free to copy and post links to edits or post below and I'll update. I'll also add to the original post

And we had... The issue was we assumed when we set the Radio hotkeys in controls to specific Warthog buttons, we were setting the PTT for that radio. We didnt realize it was a Two step process. Once we figured out we were selecting a radio then using a separate action to actually talk... it worked.

Now our question is...is it eventually planned that the appropriate radio PTT button will activate the appropriate radio or will it always be a 2 step process?

Every aircraft have a radio selector switch and ONE MIC switch right? The MIC switch will always activate the selected radio. So we want it as close to reality as possible please.

No that's not correct. The A-10C has 3 radios and 3 independent mic switches. The F-15C has at least 2 and the F-18C has 2 or 3. (Not sure if Hornets have low band.)

The Simpleradio depends of the implementation of the systems in the sim and the existence of the respective connectors in the clickcabledata.lua

In the A-10C, the hotas doesn't have connectors to export the values of the mic switch. This is the reason for the "2 steeps mic".
If the Hotas model in the EDM is updated with connectors for the Lua, SR will be updated to reflect this. As Sierra says, it will be a "one steep mic" like in RL.

The same is applicable to the M-2000C. If the "switch to select and talk" is implemented and has the connector for the Lua, it will be updated.

This type of update has been done for the Huey and the Hip, so it's easy to implement.

Yes you are right, my bad. There is one switch but it has 4 states on the A-10C. To early morning here

Yes it will be in the next release as an option. If enabled it'll apply to all aircraft that allow the radio to be switched with Hotkeys - all FC3, Mirage, A10c and Gazelle.

Tarres is right as well that if the A10c had connectors defined then I could add it just for the a10c in lua the same as the ptt in the Huey but unfortunately it doesn't so will be done with the external hotkeys.

The link to the Google doc a few posts up shows the radio configuration for every aircraft and how the ptt can be controlled and radio switched.

Hope that helps and glad you got it working! The video was useful!

Gonna stop spamming the thread, but just wanted to say keep up the awesome work Ciribob.
Best thing to happen to DCS!
