ATAG Server and Teamspeak

[Bikerjack]

I have ventured into online flying on the ATAG server which was a great experience - I have to improve my flying though!!

There is an option to use Teamspeak3 on a dedicated server. I have a headset with Mic set up but when I tried to hook up with the server I had a timeout every time. Is there a "special" method or requirement that I don't know about?

Could someone enlighten me?

Thanks

Hey Jack,
Not sure what is wrong on your side, but make sure your firewall isn't blocking the TS3 program and that you are using the correct IP.
Add ATAG to your bookmarks by clicking "bookmarks" then "add bookmark" and enter the ATAG IP there as well as your chosen nick and click "apply".
From then on it will be in your bookmarks and you can join right away.

Thanks Warhound.

Oh! Now I feel pretty stupid!

I don't have the software installed. Where can I download it?

Edit: OK. Found the site and will download later.

Oh God that made me laugh mate.

Don't worry though, I've done many a silly thing myself, it can all seem rather confusing at first but is quite simple once you get into it.

Welcome to online and TS mate...hope to see you in the skies at ATAG.

Thanks again for the laugh though, made my day that did.

Naz,

Your note made me smile too! Glad to cheer up someone on the other side of the world

That's the power of the web!

Watch this space for the next episode - I don't know how to use the software either!

Bicker: Youre gonna fit right in with the ATAG server

None of us ever do goofy things ??????

+1 to that Knucks!

Biker - looking forward to seeing you online, hopefully very soon. When it comes to all things software I'm all thumbs. Luckily the guys help me out when they see me struggling.

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)
