Univers Radio

[Teddy]

I agree. I think we should wait for LoTATC to come out with DCS 1.5 and ensure we are happy with the systems working together. But yes I think it is a good idea.

David let us know if you work out anything about the volume controls and I could update the installation guide.

[Neil Willis]

Indeed, LotATC is definitely a requirement, and we need to let the whole system evolve a little more yet.

I am however in favour of continuing to use it during operations to give it a thorough shake down. All agreed?

[Teddy]

Yes happy with that.

After last night's mission, does anyone have any comments regarding Univers radio and it's effectiveness?

From where I was sat, it looked to be stable, functional, and although there are still a lot of known issues (volume controls for one), it looks like with further development, it could be our first choice for comms.

What does everyone else think?

I agree.

Only issue I had was when not in an aircraft (Game master) not being able communicate through Universe. Could be me or a 'feature', I need to investigate further.

[Neil Willis]

I presume you'll go to LotATC when you're not in a ship as a rule?

Hopefully it will be available in 1.5 pretty soon now.

I also believe there is a radio console facility within Univers, though whether or not it works yet I have no clue.

[Teddy]

I have done it before, I used external radio, I'm sure I did. I think.

[Neil Willis]

We can test it again tonight I guess?

[Neil Willis]

LotATC will be released for 1.5 on either 14th or 15th according to it's developers.

Sounds promising for some testing with Univers soon after that then.

Have sorted my switch issues out(hopefully) so all should be good next time out.

I am away in Lake District until next weekend so will not be around on Tuesday.

Sorted out my strange UniversRadio problem. I will explain it here, in case anyone else has a similar mish-mash of symptoms.

I had installed a replacement monitor, which had a built-in speaker set-up. I don't quite understand why, but by disabling this, and a couple of other sound devices, the whole set-up worked fine. Why this extra sound channel should affect my USB and Bluetooth headsets differently is beyond me.

May be worth trying disabling unused elements of the sound set-up if anyone else reports strange goings-on.

I still prefer the Aries set-up, mainly because of the floating radio displays. I find the different-ears system a little disconcerting, but no doubt I will get used to it.
