Installation and Update Instructions

Download and run SRS-AutoUpdater.exe

OR

Extract ALL the files from the "DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.zip" (link below) zip into a temporary folder and just run the installer which'll replace any previous version installed automatically.

Changelog

• Entirely new audio pipeline including per radio effects. Make sure to turn down your speaker boost as you'll likely not need it as high. This is a huge new under the hood change! . You can also edit and make your own - see the HOWTO in RadioModels in the SRS client folder
• Fix for the installer when updating removing custom audio including custom PTT tones (oops - sorry!)
• Fixed Audio being cut off at the start by the SRS External Audio program
• Changed the behaviour of Combined arms so moving into and out of a vehicle no longer resets the radios
• Position is now ignored when in combined arms or GCI unless set by LotATC (TBC - may change back)
• Fixed Toggle overlay not having a repeat delay and the hotkey should now work properly
• Added optional server side configured awacs-radios-custom.json. Just add a awacs-radios-custom.json to the Presets folder alongside your server.cfg and enable them to be sent. Clients can opt out if they wish. The combination of this and the server side channel presets enables a server to fully configure their player experience if they wish!
• Fix for MIDS channels not working if set manually using channel presets
• Massive under the hood library bumps and changes including a switch to Microsoft's JSON parser. This should make SRS even more efficient but could cause issues with 3rd party integrations - please flag if you see anything!
• REST API now requires an API key. Set an X-API-KEY header for all requests. Key is generated on startup and saved or you can set your own in the server.cfg . The key will also be shown in the server logs on startup

DCS / VR Compatible Overlay

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.

To configure the overlay hotkey, run DCS and go to the SRS Section inside the DCS Settings

Server Hosting

For the server you need to open TCP AND UDP PORTS 5002 unless you've changed the server port using the server config file. Ports must be opened manually using Port Forwarding or similar techniques.

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 👍
