DCS Voice Chat

Starting ver. 2.5.5 we introduced new DCS feature - Voice Chat (VC). For the first release it included very basic functionality: 3 fixed rooms (COMMON, BLUE, RED), Microphone control (Use always, Mute, Push to talk) and sound device assignment. BLUE and RED rooms created when any user occupied slot. We want to check VC server mass loading and to collect your responses and wiches for this stage.

Client's part

First of all you have to assign desired hardware sound device for use in DCS (see picture)

- it's new option. Go to OPTIONS - SOUND and choose device for VC output and Input (usually Mic). Here you can direct main sound stream (world sounds, cockpit sounds) to the external acoustic system and headphones sounds and voice chat sounds (item 'Voice Chat output') to your headphones.

Note: 'default' device can work inproperly, so please make your correct device choise in this tab.

Then select type of microphone control when you in game. You can 'Mute' microphone, 'Use' it always or use special kb or joystick key (button) - Push To Talk (PTT). In order to assign PTT key just go to OPTION - Control and assign desired button in the User Interface layer (see picture).

Also client have to check box 'Voice Chat' at the page bottom (unchecked by default). That's all, you can connect to the server with working voice chat.

VC panel in multiplayer appears after connect to server (see picture).

You can hide or call it using default combo {LCtrl+LShift+Tab} (this combo can be reassigned in OPTIONS - CONTROLS - UILayer). To move between rooms click on room name, to show/hide room members click arrow.

In MP game user will be moved to coalition room automatically as soon as he takes aircraft. However user can jump into COMMON coalition and back every time. User can't jump into enemy's coalition and can't hear their talks.

Note: client can't interrupt sound data from peers to his PC from simulation. n order to use another speech software you have to return to Main Menu, open OPTIONS - SOUND and uncheck 'Voice Chat' checkbox.

Server part

Start create server, press Advanced Settings and check item 'Voice Chat server' (see picture).

Now you can launch server, all clients will see your server with option 'Voice chat server: yes'. Web interface for dedicated server has the same checkbox. By default it unchecked.

Note 1 for server hosters ONLY. Voice chat system use port 10309. Routers with upnp option will translate that port automatically (tested) as soon as DCS server launched. But some routers can't do it due to unknown reason. In case of your clients doesn't hear one another (and even doesn't see one another in VC panel) just manually translate that port for both TCP+UDP protocols.

Note 2 for hosters: to change VC port add line
webrtc_port=XXXXX
into 'Saved Games\%DCS_SERVER_HOME_FOLDER%\Config\autoexec.cfg


We do not recommend to change this port because of client should do the same. In future planned to incorporate sound stream into main DCS network data and use one port for both DCS and Voice Chat.

Voice Chat (VC)

In late 2019 we released the first test version of our free, integrated voice chat system into DCS World. Since then, we have been analysing your feedback to make further improvements. Thank you for all the great comments! In 2020, we aim to deliver peer-to-peer connectivity and user chat “rooms” generation. The next step thereafter will be to support radio modulation and frequencies as well as varied mic and audio characteristics of helmets and radios from different eras. Our final goal will be to include communications jamming and secure voice capability. This will continue to be a free and fully integrated feature of DCS World.

DCS 2.5.6.49798 Stable
  • Voice Chat
    Clients could not talk to each other - fixed
    Game log flooded by debug messages - fixed
    Servers do not need a separate port for voice chat anymore
    Known issue: VC availability is controlled by client’s setting only, ignoring server options

Voice Chat - Development Report

Immagine

We continue to work on improving the functionality of Voice Chat in DCS World.

At the moment, testing is underway to add player rooms and the ability to invite friends for private
communication. In addition, the automatic creations of rooms between the crew of one aircraft (intercom)
and the ability to create special missions rooms for coalition forces. This is done through the scripting
trigger system function when creating missions. It is useful when specific communication channels are
needed with air traffic control, sub-channels within squadrons and with ground crew. These features are
planned for release in the upcoming updates.

Following the update, the Voice Chat Development Team will be focussing on the integration of radio device
voice communication in the game. We understand that this function is highly demanded and greatly appreciate
your patience whilst we work on it.

Voice Chat - Development Progress

DCS: Voice Chat is a comprehensive approach to radio communication in DCS World and should be available in the upcoming OB. This capability has been in the works for more than two years and will bring voice compatibility across the platform. We continue to test it thoroughly whilst encouraging our 3rd party developers to configure their modules accordingly. We are confident that this component will add a simple and powerful communication layer to DCS and we very much look forward to your feedback.

In the next Open Beta release, we will deliver a major update to integrated radio communications. Voice Chat operates natively within DCS and no additional software or instals are required. Please bear in mind that enhancements will be ongoing and we appreciate your patience and bug reporting as we continue developing this complex communication stack.

We will also be adding radio communication to the Combined Arms roles, ground units, ATC, and AWACS. Further development will contain encrypted communication noises, clicks, distortions and voice synthesising in real time and more.

To ensure correct usage of this new and improved feature, we have prepared a document on How to Use DCS Voice Chat.

Voice Chat

First introduced in 2019, the free Voice Chat integrated into DCS allows Voice Over IP communications based on chat rooms and how you have your aircraft radios configured. 2022 was focused on improving radio communications and stable connections, even over a VPN. In 2023 we continue to develop this feature with realistic radio sounds, effects and plug-and-play audio device compatibility.

Voice Chat Development Progress

We continue to work on enhancing our integrated Voice Chat feature to offer the most convenient and realistic audio experience for multiplayer missions, which is crucial for coordinating strategies and executing complex tactics. We are certain that our voice chat will also add to the general sense of immersion and we are determined to see this feature work straight out of the box, without any additional programs or tuning required.

We have improved the overall stability of the voice chat connection between users, even when using a VPN. We are now working on realistic radio sound effects and the possibility for players to create their own radio sound effect profiles. We’ve added static noises for better immersion and a microphone normalization feature with an updated mic test option. Many bugs have also been resolved when talking over the radio between different aircraft modules.

We have also added the ability to mute individual players and adjust the volume of specific channels. This gives players greater control over their communication and reduces potential radio distractions during gameplay.

The improvements to the integrated DCS World Voice Chat system are significant, and it will greatly enhance the overall experience. We are pleased to let you know that these enhancements are in final testing and that they will be released soon.

Voice Chat Improvement

To ensure improved immersion, our new Voice Chat system now uses real-world audio physics to modulate the sound of your voice in order to replicate radio effects. To create more life-like communications, distortions, signal loss, and interference are simulated. These effects will vary based on the era of the radio, meaning, voices in modern aircraft will be clearer than in warbirds.

We are also making improvements to the radio and Voice Chat Room interfaces, allowing you to find your friends in multiplayer more easily.

Soon, Voice Chat will be rolled out to all other DCS modules, starting with the ‘Airboss’ for DCS: Supercarrier. We are also working on a separate voice chat program, which will allow you to communicate with units in multiplayer servers without having to actually run the simulator. Please subscribe to the newsletter in the Personal section on our website for more details coming soon!
