1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted September 6 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 6 Salute, During the DCS session last night we lost TeamSpeak again. I was able to re-start it with no issue but this now seems to be a regular issue (it happened during Mondays session as well). I believe that the level of Discord we require is free (open to being corrected) and that we pay for Teamspeak. It seems that the majority of us that play these days already have Discord installed so would not be too much of an issue moving? What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only prefer ts due to familiarity Two weeks ago I've sent him an email on this issue. Have not heard back yet. (What I suspect is some timed procedure is running 'round 22:00hrs UK time ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Figures I just got the TS fired up last night. Discord is Fine I've had one hosted for a few years now. When I get home I can share it's info and you can just run a few test on it before troubling yourselves over making one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted September 6 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 6 Sorry chaps, must have got into my spam filter! Not aware until now there was an issue with TS on new host, and there isn't a scheduled job running at 22:00... Digging into it now. For what it is worth, TS license is free! I do have a standalone VM that is more than capable of running TS3 and if the votes are to keep it I can very easily move it (we would use a domain name like ts.dangerdogz.com). Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted September 6 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 6 If Discord is adopted as the default voice comms I can add the widget they provide to the forums here, so online users can be seen 😜 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Thanks Rog I'd like to keep ts option if possible and reliable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted September 8 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 8 As a veteran of Discord I can wholeheartedly endorse its adoption; it also comes with some pretty cool functionality that IMHO rather makes TS seem limited and somewhat antiquated. For example, the inherent ability to stream your screen or app so that others can see what you’re doing on your computer is a massive advantage for briefing/debriefing or instructing others or even just allowing someone who’s not flying - maybe due to illness, tech issues or just not feeling it - to join in the social side of the dogs and still have visibility and therefore some understanding of what’s occurring. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mêh... proper spyware will not show any updates. Or hardly any. Like TeamSpeyk. All them Discord updates? Marketing it is. If you got nothing new to announce, people will move to somewhere else where there is new stuff. Even if you have nothing new to show, you try and make it look like you do... Bloatware. The moment your device connects to the internet ... you are being spied upon. Oh well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Yeah I'm just being an old fart. Discord works as well as TS without the crashes and it recognizes controller buttons for PTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone is connected to big brother and his wannabe's even while you sleep, same with any of your smart fart stuff, including your robot floor sweeper. Accept it, or go off the grid are your only options nowadays. And off the grid will still leave you with the onlookers from the sky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted September 18 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 18 I suggest we keep the Teamspeak running until the New Year for the sake of returning members but from this day forth those of us flying default to Discord for our comms, generating a new invitation post to ensure everyone has the latest join details and we announce this accordingly. We also need to decide which discord channel we use - we currently have 2! Let's make sure we choose which becomes the primary and that we dispense with the other and that the details we broadcast are the correct ones! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted September 19 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted September 19 I was only aware of the one we went to when TS dropped out? What are the details for the other one @DD_Fenrir ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
