TeamSpeak 3

BTW, you can run both at the same time without issue.

Maybe we should all start doing this.

Just be sure to use a different push to talk key for each so you don't drive everyone crazy.

Why not use the same button? If you're in the same server and flying you can cover everyone (TS2 & TS3) when talking. This way a slow merge would happen from TS2 to TS3. People logging in would see more guys/gals on TS3 and stay.

I know I go to TS2 because that is where everyone is but if I run both I can stay on both and have the best of both worlds. Transmitting on both channels at the same time so I don't have to worry if the guy next to me is on TS2 or TS3. I can also hear everyone else no matter which one their running. Cuts out on confussion and saves an extra button.

I've done this as well however, the only problem is that to folks who are on one, and not the other, will not really know who you're talking or listening to. It will be as though your whispering to someone since they won't hear the entire conversation.

Still, it's a good idea and I'd only suggest setting up different push to talk buttons to help keep it all straight for those who are not on both.

I set both teamspeak's up on the server and I can confirm what everyone here says works fine.  If you are on the same channels in both you get an echo.  This is fine if it is just you on headphones, but if someone has speakers on it is a NO NO.

There is some testing I would like some of you to do if you dont mind!  I sometimes get distortion on TS3.  It normally happens when I am flying in the game and not very often at other times.  Mostly with the xtc guys from Australia.  In fact it was so bad that  I carried out a re-install but nothing changed.

We are in the process of upgrading to Teamspeak3.

We are doing this because there is no longer any support of Teamspeak 2 and the sound quality of teamspeak 3 is much better.

You can get the TS3 client from www.teamspeak.com (Downloads) section.

The one negative is there are not many Teamspeak Overlay programs for TS3 at this time.  It comes with support for the Logitech G15/G19 keyboard. If you know of any please post here.

We will continue to provide the TS2 server until members have time to upgrade.

You can connect to the Teamspeak 3 server using the IP address: 69.90.34.220 default port 9987  If it asks for a password, use falcon9

TS overlay is nice but I catch myself being lazy and not giving my call sign when transmitting. Unfortunately not everyone is running it (which I assume everyone is) and they don't know who is talking.

I would say make the switch or give a hard date when that will take place. It has been my experience that if you don't give a dead line people will procrastinate as long as they can.

It's like the mod switch, how many waited until they couldn't log in anymore to run the mod patch?

There are good arguments on not running both TS's at the same time because of echo problems, extra button controls & what sounds like responses on open channel to a whisper.

I'm all for making the switch now. It would help populate TS3 that's for sure. Please take note I'm just saying I'm for the switch not telling you what to do. Like that would matter anyway  :lol:

Last I checked TS3 was still in the beta stages.
You don't HAVE to go to TS3.
The only downside to this is TS2 is hard to find for those just getting online with it.
Of course you could put it as a download and then hold off on TS3 till it is finalized.

Either way, it is going to be rough...change always is

Well, as of currently, due to updates post install, TS 3 is at version 10609 last time I updated.  Has the upgrade to TS 3 been completed?

It  depends on what you mean by your question!  All the channels have been duplicated on TS3 that are available on TS2 except that they are ordered differently on TS3 because it allowed me to do this when setting it up. If you are questioning the version of  the TS3 server version itself,  we keep it at the last version as made available by the developer.

I meant to ask if the transfer to TS 3 had been completed.  It looks to me like it has, which is fine with me.

I've recently had a few issues with TS3. They seem to be sporadic and inconsistent which is a real bummer. The last thing I want when trying to communicate are communication problems...and I've found myself lately wondering if TS3 is going to work properly this time or if it will be o.k.

That last statement is indicative of a problem, but hey, if the switch is on, it's on.

I  have also had issues with TS3, mainly to do with distortion.  I have tried different settings on my machine, but cannot get to the bottom of it.  It is sporadic!  I have just been talking at great length to Willie (we were not in the game),  and it was as clear as a bell as if we were in the same room.  If I speak to the Australian guys whilst in the game I get sporadic distortion. Sometimes bad enough as to not understand a word they are saying.

I am going to carry out more testing with different codecs.

The ones available are:

Speex Ultra-Wideband (32 kHz).  This is the current one I am testing on all channels.
Speex Narrowband (8 kHz)
Speex Wideband (16 kHz)
CELT Mono (48 KHz)

Anyone any suggestions on these codecs?

[CaptStubing]

Well it is a beta version of the software.  Could be that they are still working out issues.

A quick search of the TS forums turned up this: http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=46609&highlight=Codecs

The people posting in that thread are totally wrong. They obviously have some hardware issues.

If you have Windows 7 and a Creative sound card then you will have issues in TeamSpeak 3. This is a known issue and is a bug within the Creative W7 drivers. Creative refuses to fix it for some unknown reason though. If you're having this issue then you can use your on-board sound until Creative gets their act together.

If you're having this issue:

We experienced the same problem and found it so annoying that we switched back to the ts2 server for the time being.

People would talk normally then the volume would go up or down, the sound become garbled (usually when they first started talking). This happened with every codec and quality setting, even tried continous transmission to no avail.

Other than the sound troubles i'm already in love with ts3

Then it's because you still have your "Automatic Voice Gain Control" option selected in the TS3 options. To disable it (please do, it's awful) go to Settings -> Options, then click "Capture" on the left, then check the "Advanced Options" box. Now uncheck the "Automatic Voice Gain Control" box. Fixed. Check your mic volume and dB boost, because you may need to increase them now that TS3 isn't artificially (and terribly) boosting your mic.

Also check your sensitivity. If it's too high you'll get the beginning of every transmission cut off. To check if this is the issue switch back to push-to-talk and see if it resolves the choppiness. If so, it is an issue with your sensitivity setting.

From the TS3 forum.

To fix this problem there will be a special Higher Latency/Less Bandwidth setting that I am currently working on in future releases, that way you can make TS3 behave exactly like TS2 with regards to bandwidth consumption, which should make those few with very low end internet lines happy too.

I haven't researched in deep Speex vs CELT, but I've read that the response is faster with CELT, but it takes a little bit more bandwidth.

I'm not sure if Speex is stereo. But, since we don't need to sample more than one channel per client, I'd see how it goes with that CELT mono to take advantage of that extra fidelity. If it does not impact the systems and fits the bandwidth, we'd be happy.
