In light of recent queries about TeamSpeak we've decided to experiment with a server running off the league's rented server. We don't believe that it will impact on the network quality during the events but as we're in a test phase at the moment it's an ideal time to try things out.

The server is password protected using a password. Simply connect as an anonymous user with the password and away you go. There are some general chat rooms for people to use and if your team would like its own room please ask in this thread. You can request a password if you'd like to keep your room private. Someone will PM you for the details if you want this facility.

The server is intend to support SRou events, please don't abuse this facility. Please use your forum name or real name when connecting.

Server Address is: 185.251.226.37:9988
or: teamspeak.simracing.org.uk:9988

Old TS 2 Address 81.19.209.165:8787

Great idea and perfect timing (we've finally been given the boot from the data centre lol) - I'm sure we'll use the general channel for a giggle but if you could set up a Prodigy one too that would be superb.

Cheers!

Not directly - but if you map a key using Joy2Key (or whatever Profiler type tool your wheel provides) you can achieve the same effect.

In case anyone has not used Teamspeak before (like me till recently), here are some instructions I've just put together that hopefully will help:

First you need a mic. Ones that attach to headphones seem to be the best/easiest.
 
1. Download "Teamspeak 2" from Google & install.
2. Launch teamspeak, you should see a window that says "welcome to teamspeak".
3. Click "connection" then "connect" which will open a 2nd window with not a lot in it.
4. It should hopefully say "Servers", right click on that & choose "add server", then give it a name like "UKGTL" for example & press "enter".
5. This should open up a panel on the right where you can type in the server address "81.19.209.165:8787".
6. Fill in your nickname (i.e your lobby name) & then choose "Anonymous".
7. The password is the normal practice server password & I think it's best to choose "Auto-reconnect"
8. Now click "Connect" at the bottom & you should hear a rather sexy digital voice Wink telling you "link engaged".
9. You should now have a little list of chat rooms, including "Team Oldie". If anyone else is connected you'll see a little green dot then their name. The green dots light up when that person is talking. To speak to them you need to both be in the same room (it's all a bit like Cluedo  Grin).
10. Before you get going properly, it's a good idea to set a button so you 'push to talk', that way people are not having to listen to every word you scream or any background noise going on at your house. To do that...
11. Click on "settings" at the top, then "Sound input/output settings".
12. Choose "push to talk" & click "set". Then choose which button you want to allocate, I use the bottom left "Ctrl" key. (to use a button on your wheel, you need extra software & you're on your own there).
13. You're ready to drive & talk now, but you may find that you need to adjust your mic volume levels or your game volume levels, to get the most out of it. Setting yourself up with a team mate doing it at the same time would be good for testing purposes.


Good luck & I'll be happy if it even helps one person. (Also, if I've made a mistake in there let me know & I'll amend). Smiley
