Joe VanMeter Posted January 19, 2020 at 02:33 AM Posted January 19, 2020 at 02:33 AM I have noticed sometimes when I have been controlling that my AFV client for VRC/vERAM sometimes disconnects randomly. When this happens would it be possible to have a sound play that lets the controller know that they have been disconnected from voice? I know sometimes I don't have that screen in the foreground and cannot see that I have been disconnected and begin wondering why its so silent all of a sudden.

Gary Oliver Posted January 19, 2020 at 11:10 PM Posted January 19, 2020 at 11:10 PM It will currently play a bong through your default windows audio device (perhaps not the one you use on AFV). The dev team are working hard to stop these disconnects from occuring as well as provide an auto reconnect incase of issue. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe VanMeter Posted January 20, 2020 at 01:57 AM Author Posted January 20, 2020 at 01:57 AM I went and checked my settings and my default output is the same as what I use for AFV. I don't recall ever hearing a bong sound as you describe. When I think of a bong sound I think of the sound vATIS makes when it has an atis update. I am running v1.6.32 which I think is the latest version? Maybe a better solution would also have the icon on the taskbar flash in addition just in case someone has different audio settings than their default device?

Gary Oliver Posted January 20, 2020 at 05:09 AM Posted January 20, 2020 at 05:09 AM I tried to make the taskbar icon flash but doesn’t work with win 10 after 1909 unfortunately! Let’s fix the underlying problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasios Mpithas Posted January 20, 2020 at 05:07 PM Posted January 20, 2020 at 05:07 PM The way I solve this is by clicking the "arrow up" button on the standalone menu. This pins a small version of the standalone (like a widget) above Euroscope. You can see who's transmitting, and when the random disconnect happens, you can see it directly on there (button turns from blue to black iirc).

Lee Sacharin Posted January 21, 2020 at 02:20 AM Posted January 21, 2020 at 02:20 AM If you are taking requests...which I'm not sure you are , but as a suggestion. For those who wish (now or in the future) to run multi-freq operations, it would be nice to be able to display which freqs being received. In other words, if you have a few freqs in operation (not a zillion like some think should be done..I'm talking 3 or so depending on your airspace/configuration), it would be nice to have the audio panel display a discreet box that flashes when transmissions are received on that particular channel, similar to the current TX/RX. It would [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist the controller in knowing which freq a pilot is on, better orientation if an aircraft should be switching sectors, etc. Thanks for listening!

Joe VanMeter Posted January 21, 2020 at 02:21 AM Author Posted January 21, 2020 at 02:21 AM Thanks for all your hard work Gary. Hopefully those problems can be solved easily. I’m also looking forward to full integration into the controller clients as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
