ATTENTION

REQUIRES SERVER & CLIENT VERSION 1.7.0.0 or newer - NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANYTHING BEFORE 1.7.0.0 - SERVERS MUST UPDATE

SERVER PORTS HAVE CHANGED - FORWARD 5002 TCP + UDP - 5003 NOT REQUIRED ANY LONGER

MAKE SURE TO FORWARD BOTH UDP and TCP ON THE SAME PORT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To install or update, extract ALL the files from the "DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone-1.7.0.1.zip" (link below) zip into a folder and just run the installer which'll replace any previous version installed automatically

If you're on Windows N edition (No media components installed) then install this (you'll know when you get the audio initialisation error!) - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions

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 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

  • Switch VoIP to UDP to improve latency and comms for hotmic RIO (Forward TCP & UDP 5002 by default)
  • Network layer improvements & protocol change
  • Added Server version to client export JSON
  • Removed Administrator requirements for the server
  • Added new Guard option for F16 (VHF only) and F18 (both radios) - Right click to enable
  • Added radio filter to mic pass through for streamers
  • Possible fix for SRS volume ducking when overboosting
  • Logging switched to async
  • Whitelisted more Virpil devices

Thanks to you all for the support - SRS Team (MorpheusXAUT and Ciribob)

DCS / VR Overlay & Overlay Configuration

The overlay has 4 states, hidden, small, small+volume & 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 Games\DCS\Config 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

Fixed Channels

Fixed 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. Example also attached

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

Server Details

For the server you need to open TCP AND UDP PORTS 5002 unless you've changed the server port using the server config file.

Banned IPs are added to a file created where ever the server is run called banned.txt. To unban, just delete the IP from the file and restart the server.

The server will always open ONE PORT in two Protocols TCP and UDP - you can control this with the Config file. If you cant press PTT but everything else looks fine - this is why and indicated with the VoIP Green Plug 👍
