@BluBear - Fruitbat has not yet got his rudder pedals replaced thus cannot pilot a Mossie; I have instead offered him a nav seat - next to you!

Great!

Hey @FoolTrottel, fancy a warm body in your right seat...?

[Crash]

Quick question, do I need to install the beta?

As it stands, no. Stable Release and Open Beta are the same version… unless ED release an update in the next couple of days. For once let’s hope not.

[FoolTrottel]

Any idea how me and Crash are going to talk to eachother? Should I switch radio to a specific channel? How does that work over SRS?

Press a magic button? Setup a Teams/Zoom meeting with him?

Hand signal him start of the countdown One-Two-Three-CTRL-EEEEéééééé  !!!!!

[Crash]

Will any mods need to be installed?

Hi chaps, for those who don't yet have it, get DCS Simple Radio Standalone (SRS) here:

http://dcssimpleradio.com/

 

Click the 'Download latest release' button and on the following page scroll down to the bottom and look for download link named: "DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone-2.0.6.0.zip"

If you require further help installing and configuring, let me know.

I have just installed this, no idea what I'm doing.

Nope. The only unofficial things you need are SRS and the Mustang skin.

The pilot needs to assign two Push To Talk (PTT) buttons - one to talk to entities outside their aircraft with the radio, one to activate the mic when talking to the nav over the intercom.

The nav cannot communicate outside the aeroplane; they will only require to assign a PTT button to activate the intercom.

[DD_Fenrir]

For getting started installing SRS the Grim reapers video covers it well: 

 

[FoolTrottel]

Assigning Push to talk worked, as in could see button animation - never got no answer from Crash though, as if he weren't there at all?

Oh wait. Them darn medications again!

[FoolTrottel]

Now I would like to have one button to talk over radio to the squad/ group, and when I press it, it also speaks to NavCrash ... and for sure a seperate button to talk to NavCrash... Oh Yeah, is easy. I press both buttons at the same time. Good thing one is on my button box (left hand) and the other on the Sidewinder, right hand. Oh - I am brilliant I am!

Thanks again for your patience this evening @DD_Fenrir, you are a gent.

It's clear you've put a great deal of time and effort into this and I'm looking forward to being a part of it on Sunday.

Getting across the channel is my aim, everything else will be a bonus!

[DD_Fenrir]

The Order of Battle has been updated (again!)

Mission Brief

Bozon Red 3 had one engine go out and had to turn for home.

We made it all the way there, Brems and I hit our mark.

Then I lost Brems after we got hit by AAA, headed out 294 for home plate also looking for Cannon red lead. As I her Red 1 call out bandits on him. I went in trying to get comm up for Zukker in as my Navigator. Bummer! ☹️
