IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.9

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.9

This beta adds multiple Push-To-Talk inputs and improves compatibility with Wine on Linux.

Added

• Three independently configurable Common PTT input slots.
• Each PTT input can use its own joystick or keyboard button and optional modifier.

Changed

• Pressing any configured Common PTT input transmits through the currently selected radio.
• Existing PTT configurations are retained automatically as PTT 1.

Fixed

• Microphone capture and Audio Preview no longer close the client under Wine when unsupported per-channel audio APIs are encountered.

Compatibility

• Compatible with other 1.0.4.8 clients and servers.
• No server configuration changes are required.

Please report any problems or suggestions using the support buttons on the Help tab.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.7

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.7 community update

This beta improves compatibility between IL2-SRS and IL2WinWing, particularly on systems where both applications were competing for the same IL-2 telemetry port.

Improvements

• Telemetry Diagnostics now checks IL2WinWing's telemetry input and SimApp Pro forwarding ports.
• A new Configure IL2WinWing action safely configures separate ports for SRS and IL2WinWing and updates every detected Great Battles and Korea startup.cfg.
• Changed files receive .il2srs.bak backups, with read-only attributes and unrelated settings preserved.
• SRS warns when a running IL2WinWing installation needs compatibility repair.

Fixes

• SRS now owns telemetry port 4322 exclusively, preventing intermittent packet loss caused by unreliable shared-port delivery.
• Detects when IL2WinWing receives game telemetry correctly but forwards vibration data to the wrong SimApp Pro port.
• The repair refuses to modify an arbitrary copy when multiple inactive IL2WinWing installations are found.

Compatibility

• No SRS server changes are required.
• Updated clients and servers remain compatible with other 1.0.4.8 builds.
• Please report issues through the Help tab support buttons.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.6

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.6 community update

This replacement Beta 6 build removes the experimental neutral-lobby music feature and retains the server configuration and spectator-state fixes introduced in Beta 6.

Important: If you installed the earlier Beta 6 build, download and reinstall this replacement. The updater cannot distinguish the two builds because they use the same version number.

Improvements

• server.cfg is completed automatically with all persistent settings while preserving existing values.

Fixes

• Returning to spectator or the neutral lobby now clears stale coalition and vehicle state from the previous mission.
• Server-only Pilot Roster paths and RCon credentials are no longer sent to clients.

Removed

• Neutral-lobby music was removed after testing exposed unreliable buffering during continuous playback.

Compatibility

• Updated clients and servers remain compatible with other 1.0.4.8 builds.
• Please report issues through the Help tab support buttons.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.5

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.5 community update

This beta focuses on safer IL-2 telemetry configuration and more useful connection diagnostics.

Improvements

• Telemetry Diagnostics now checks Windows Firewall access for IL-2 telemetry on UDP port 4322.
• SRS backs up startup.cfg before its first telemetry repair.
• Telemetry repairs preserve the file's encoding and read-only setting.
• Server Pilot Roster JSON integration is now opt-in and remains available when administrators configure their own data path.

Fixes

• SRS no longer repairs startup.cfg while Great Battles or Korea is running.
• Telemetry repair aborts safely if IL-2 changes the file during the operation.
• Atomic file replacement prevents partial or truncated startup.cfg files.
• Unconfigured Pilot Roster data sources can no longer delay the server's client synchronization reply.

Testing notes

• Updated clients and servers remain compatible with other 1.0.4.8 builds.
• If telemetry repair is required while IL-2 is running, close the game and restart SRS or run Telemetry Diagnostics again.
• Please report telemetry repair, firewall detection, or server synchronization issues through the Help tab support buttons.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.3

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.3 community update

This beta introduces an experimental radio collision effect for simultaneous transmissions on the same channel.

Added

• Updated servers can detect overlapping transmissions on the same frequency and modulation.
• Updated receiving clients produce local flutter, brief dropouts, noise, and distortion instead of mixing both voices cleanly.
• Server owners can enable the feature with the new RX Collision Effects setting.

Changed

• Intercom is excluded from collision processing.
• The server window is taller, with RX Collision Effects directly below Realistic TX Behaviour and no scrollbar required.

Testing notes

• The new server setting is disabled by default.
• Testing requires this beta on the server and on receiving clients.
• Older 1.0.4.8 clients remain compatible, but they will hear normally mixed audio.
• Please report whether the effect is too strong or weak, starts and stops correctly, and causes any false collisions during clean handovers.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.2

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.2 community update

Added

• Pilot Roster support is now available to any updated SRS server that provides compatible roster data, rather than being limited to Combat Box.
• A new server-administrator guide explains how to provide Pilot Roster data.

Changed

• Pilot Roster availability is now reported by the server and detected automatically by the client.
• The unavailable message now explains that the connected server must provide Pilot Roster data.

Fixed

• Fixed the Pilot Roster not consistently remaining above IL-2 or disappearing with the main SRS window.
• Fixed the beta Auto Updater not following the beta channel when used to update a stable installation.

Notes

• Servers must update to this beta and configure a compatible Pilot Roster JSON source before their clients can use the roster.
• This remains compatible with the existing 1.0.4.8 protocol.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.1

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.8-beta.1 community update

Added

• Added a single-install setup flow that clearly explains one SRS installation supports both IL-2 Great Battles and IL-2 Korea.
• Added detection and backup-first consolidation of older duplicate SRS installations while preserving profiles, key bindings, favourites, and radio presets.

Changed

• Moved user settings, profiles, key bindings, favourites, and presets to %AppData%\IL2-SRS so updates and application-folder changes no longer separate the client from its configuration.
• Expanded startup and Help-tab telemetry checks to verify and automatically repair every detected Great Battles and Korea installation.
• Improved handling of read-only startup.cfg files by temporarily removing the read-only attribute when repair is required and restoring it afterwards.
• Updated installer guidance to recommend one application copy in C:\Program Files\IL2-SimpleRadio-Standalone, outside the game folders.

Notes

• Existing settings are migrated conservatively. Files already present in %AppData%\IL2-SRS are not overwritten, and conflicting legacy files are retained in migration backups.
• This is a beta release intended to validate migration and installation behavior across varied existing setups before the stable 1.0.4.8 release.

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.7

IL2-SRS 1.0.4.7

Added

• Added preliminary IL-2 Korea support for client-side game detection, overlay focus, telemetry setup, and Help tab telemetry diagnostics.
• Added telemetry diagnostics for detecting third-party telemetry port conflicts, starting with IL2WinWing, across detected Great Battles and Korea installs.
• Added an Active Squad Ops summary at the top of the Combat Box Pilot Roster to highlight friendly squad groups operating on shared channels.
• Added a Help tab "What's New in this version" link that opens the GitHub release notes for the running build.
• Added logging-only incoming audio quality diagnostics to help identify causes of choppy received audio without changing audio behavior.
• Added a new Restart SRS keybinding on the Controls tab for quickly restarting the client when audio or device state gets stuck.

Changed

• New server configurations now enable the second radio by default.
• Improved startup telemetry repair warnings when IL-2 is already running and repaired settings require a game restart.
• Added Help tab guidance for radio overlays and exclusive fullscreen limitations.
• The server now treats player name changes as roster-relevant updates so connected clients refresh roster data more reliably.

Fixed

• Fixed stale connection-error state that could remain visible after a successful reconnect.
• Fixed the admin relaunch path so the original non-admin client exits before initializing audio/network state, reducing duplicate local SRS instances and port conflicts.

Notes

• IL-2 Korea support is preliminary. It has been verified with Korea telemetry once spawned, but broader multiplayer, server, intercom, and Steam-version behavior may still need follow-up fixes.
