[@nemisis_wolf]

Have watched a few of these SRS Vids so far and this one is definitely the most comprehensive and includes how you actually set your Hotas Buttons to the ones you want as push to talk and other options not explained. Well done Cap.

[@cptmrcalm]

Such an important tool when flying on public servers that use SRS. Adds to the immersion too.

[@SPFLDAngler]

If people actually used it on public servers. No one even communicates via chat. Everyone just goes off and does their own thing, mostly dying. No one ever wants to fly an actual mission. Lots of noobs who don’t follow the rules. No one cares about communication. I actually had one guy, after he landed and I said “I didn’t hear you report inbound or request landing” he says to me “yeah, that’s right. Why should I?” Really?! Really dude?.. then as I’m lining up for takeoff he cuts in from a taxiway and takes off as I’m powering up. No request startup, no request taxi or request takeoff. Then I have to listen to “hold position” for 5 minutes because I was on the runway when he pulled that shit.

[@thelespauldude3283]

​@@SPFLDAnglerabsolutely agree

[@BumpyLumpy1]

@@SPFLDAngler DCS is an extremely hard game to get into. don't expect new players to know how to communicate immediately through radio.

"I shouldn't have to watch a video to set up my..." - Cap, 2020.

[@simplewolf5946]

Speaking of which, looks like Cap deleted the video. Shame.

[@axlrosegnr]

@@simplewolf5946 Ahhh hahahahaha!! He did delete it! Weak. lol. That was the most popular video on his page.

[@thecrab2791]

What video was it?

[@keesguijt1619]

Nice. I have seen the radio change to airport freq after selecting F10, ATC, and request startup for instance (4YA servers). I wish more people knew about this.

[@CB-ii2uy]

ANOTHER "Super Important" setting to have that for some reason doesnt always default on is "Radio Switch Works as PTT" otherwise youll need a 3rd button binded for PTT

[@goshring]

Such a great tutorial. Cap, you and the band are the best. Thanks once again.

[@BlueBaron3339]

I keep coming back to this one as the best of the lot for explaining *_every step_* clearly. Of course, when I share this video I must post the following viewer warning - JET USE, JET USE LANGUAGE - as I don't tend to associate with those....jet people 😅 😂 🤣

[@noelstephen3848]

Your tutorials are getting better

[@SeattleRex]

His tutorials have always been excellent. Everything I know about DCS I learned from this guy. Hell, he's the reason I bought a $5K rig, TM Hotas, Pedals, etc.

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

Thanks, big help, much appreciated.

[@TommyTactix]

Thank you for breaking it down. Seems simple. I’ve yet to download and install or get to folders yet. Wish me luck. Switched from PS4 to PC. 🎉

[@alaingironacci5241]

very late good luck

[@WhiskeyDale]

Thank you for explaing this so well. Hope to up flying with you soon Cap.

[@Mich_Angel]

This is great, now I can get it installed and hopefully get it to work as intended :D Thanks CAP great tutorial. Keep up the awesomeness. CHEERS!

[@4ortytoon]

i just found out abut this comms software thanks to a different game and this is absolutely amazing!!

[@tomriley5790]

Been trying to get this to work to come and play on the GR servers - a bit confused though on how SRS the discord chat channel and the ingame radio comms buttons work together, can't getit to work at the moment. Do you set any of them to the same button, different buttons ?

[@TheWRCTommy]

Nice explanation video. Thanks. I currently have no Mic. Just wann listen to the allied radio chatter with my Reverb G2 headphones. I guess the setup procedure is exactly the same.

[@davidmeyer4192]

i go to ONE place for my DCS knowledge, thank you!

[@jessekurisko5659]

I’m having trouble finding my saved games folder.

[@kaidenwatts528]

This pc, C drive, users, (your user), saved games

[@kaidenwatts528]

Just click the files in that order

[@TheEvilclown73]

When you are connecting, you put in IP address then clicked one you did earlier...??? Where did you get that one for as there are two places to add IP address?

[@DNH17]

When you choose the save folder it's not clear if you look for a specific one or you are suggesting to create a new one.

[@jonde999]

where do i configure virtual radios like you have in this video?

[@KomradeDoge]

On craft like the F-14 or the F-18 with 2 radios, can you monitor both radios using this? Like if I hop in my F18 and set radio one to ATC and then set radio 2 to my flight can I use this to listen in on both at the same time?

[@benjicodis]

Yes

[@SPFLDAngler]

But the real question is, can you request bogey dope or picture from AI awacs by voice? Or do you still have to press LWin+O or Communications menu?

[@JamesW81]

Possibly need voice attack for that.

[@skywarp2180]

Tks

[@Klonkrieger2009]

Hey, quick Question, is it possible to use a modifier key or use the radio keys i set up in DCS for SRS due to the lack of Buttons on my HOTAS?

[@grimreapers]

Not that I am aware of.

[@ciribob]

Yes - you can use modifiers for SRS

[@extrabingo10]

Should I use this or the in game Voice Chat? / Which one do people use more?

[@SPFLDAngler]

Neither. I never hear anyone in any of the public servers I’ve been on. They don’t even type in chat. Everyone just does their own thing and ignores everyone else.

[@JayDKBGames]

I get all the connections except VOIP connection any tips on how to make it connect

[@filipdunal1661]

Hey could I ask on how you got that Steam folder?

[@DenisFerrari]

Does SRS work also in case I fly with a friend without entering any public sever, but just me or him creating a server? If so, which IP to connect to should I use in this specific case? Thank you

[@ChickentNug]

github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/wiki/SRS-Server-(WIP) you likely will have to follow these instructions(if you haven't already done this)

[@SPFLDAngler]

That’s literally no different… just be on the same frequency..

[@onyoursix2268]

So what would you recommend: SRS or Voice w/VIACOM Pro?

[@grimreapers]

srs for sure

[@Pakistan-xl5dc]

Cap can you do a blue vs red where one team uses IAF planes whereas the other uses PAF plane. Also you could do old planes instead of modern . Like Sabres and mig 21s and mig 19s ETC

This doesn’t seem to work with the F-16 unless you’re communicating on VHF. Does anybody have any idea how to communicate via UHF? I have keys binded for both radios, only VHF transmits.

[@rickyh.5877]

Sorry man, stupid question but it might help, do you have your radio switches IN COCKPIT bound as well? I always set UHF to be radio 1 and VHF to be radio 2. You will need TWO PTT buttons.

[@alexb7024]

new to game. Do you not just use the built in radios in the planes in game for VOIP chat? Seems silly that it wouldn't work.

[@SPFLDAngler]

Yeah it is silly. DCS on its own refuses to recognize my microphone, and I’m sure it’s like that for a lot of people. So SRS is the way to go.

[@BalticDude_DCS]

Is SRS still needed with DCS having their own radio chat additions?

[@grimreapers]

I honestly havent even had a chance to check the ED rads out yet.

[@davebedford5659]

My dad has just started in DCS is it possible to use srs one to one so I can coach him?

[@grimreapers]

[@rickyh.5877]

Oh absolutely. Either be alone on a SRS server, or just agree to use an unused FREQ in flight.

[@BitLeg]

I am a massive fan of Capt'n and I literally own the T-shirt. This video Capt'n wasn't as good as your others. It was like you was affirming what to do for SRS to somebody who already knows how to use it. Your words per minute were off the charts like you really needed to go the toilet and quickly had to bang this video out before a stores eject lol.

[@grimreapers]

Roger this one was forced I am afraid.

[@SPFLDAngler]

Probably because it’s literally so straightforward a tutorial on it is kinda stupid. I watched it before actually trying it myself and afterwards I could’ve easily just figured it out by opening the program.

[@PeachStateATV]

I have a question, in the A10 I can talk until I am in the aircraft once in the aircraft I can hear just not talk. If I eject I immediately have that ability to talk. But once I am in the A10 I no longer have the ability to transmit. Any help would be greatly appreciate

[@PeachStateATV]

I think I got it fixed

[@PeachStateATV]

It was in the settings allow it to “something “ aircraft. I changed that to on and now have coms. It is a really nice change of pace to be able to communicate with all the pilots

[@neelskempable]

Hey cap! When I connect to dcs world theres a little window that says "no radio connected, connect to srs server and start or join a mission" and I cant remove it even when I'm playing solo in mission editor plz help

[@SPFLDAngler]

Turn off “overlay in game”…

[@lasselahti4056]

I have now played SP about two years for numerous planes. I think its about time to go into a server. Maby FC3 aircraft would be good thought at first flight, flanker maby lurking in caucasus canyons hiding the bad world. BUT how does stuff work with fc3 aircraft? I mean just multiplayer comms with em? Do they go sameway trough srs, only need put freq straight to SRS itself? AND how can I know ATC etc freqs if no f-10 map not an option? This comm stuff is kinda ONLY thing that have kept me out of multiplayer. Dunno why, but it has seemed too complicated, while it is not so complicated :P Maby Im complicated after 16 years of Warcraft nerdrage :D
