ATAG Server and Teamspeak

[Bikerjack]

Joking aside, I managed to get TS working. Sat in the ready room for a while not knowing what to do. Then I actually spoke to a guy in the US who gave me some instruction - like go to the Allied section. Lo and behold I was talking to other pilots. Awesome!

Couldn't hear voices very well over the engine sound. Someone suggested turning the sound down in the Options menu. Bloody obvious really! Easy when you know how

Still slowly crawling up the steep learning curve.

Good stuff mate. That's the beauty of ATAG, there are often plenty of good people only too willing to give a helping hand...even taking the time to run a new player through the cockpits etc.

I'd strongly recommend signing up to their forum if you haven't already and saying hello. There is often a lot of good info over there as well.

cheers

Two items you will now need

1. TS noitifier: shows on screen who is talking

2. Sound add on (cant remember the name) but when you or anyone presses their mike button, it drops the sound volume

I'll send you links for both of these, this afternoon: (Not near my main computer at this time)

Thanks Knuckles,

I tried to install TSNotifier using a tutorial on You Tube but when I launched CLOD it hung so I have obviously done something wrong. I don't actually need it because I have a separate screen on which I can see TS3 and who is speaking when their icon lights up next to the name.

I would appreciate some assistance on the sound muting option though.

I had the sane issues with Notifier, my game wouldn't even launch with this on and like you would hang if I launched it in game so now I don't bother with it, its obviously conflicting somewhere...I just goes who talking and call everyone mate lol

The same thing happens to me after installing the latest patch (1.08.18956). I used TSNotifier without any problems before but now it makes Launcher.exe hang.

Thanks guys.

It's always reassuring to know that others share the same problem. However, as you will notice if you look back to previous posts in this thread, I can be prone to periods of utter stupidity and therefore often believe that it must be a mistake that I have made!

Even after carefully reading the instructions - it still goes wrong! Sod's Law I feel!

I don't think it is you mate ... I have never been able to get TS Notifier to work either and it appears we are not alone!

In my case it would work when in the game menu screens but not when I actually entered the cockpit... Weird.

I use the overlay that comes with TS3 itself... And I couldn't get that to work initially either there is a handy thread in the team speak section on ATAG which has some pretty clear instructions and after following those I was able to get the default overlay to work in game... You might want to give that a crack.

Having said that, if you have TS showing on another screen then it's probably moot anyway.

I tried the sound reduction thingy in TS but didn't like it as the constant increase/decrease of game sounds just got annoying for my tastes. All I do instead is minimize the game prior to jumping in the cockpit and click on the little volume icon at the bottom of the screen and set the overall sound slider up higher but reduce the slider for Cliffs ... I eventually found a balance between the two where I can clearly hear people speaking and still get decent game volume as well. Works well enough.
