Intercom Configuration

[wpslider]

Hello, as of ProSim737 2.04b7, a new intercom system is introduced. It is a low latency, low bandwidth client-server system. It uses using ProSim737 System as server and ProSimAudio instances as clients.

To configure it is quite simple.

On ProSim737System, you don't need to do anything.

For each ASP, you will need a ProSimAudio instance running. It can be combined with any already existing instance.
Two simple steps are required:

• Select Intercom channel

You need to select which position each instance will handle. Capt, FO or OBS. NAV audio is also required to be selected on the same channel.

• Select audio devices for input and output elements

There are 3 inputs:

And 2 outputs:


And that's it. You can now use your ASP to control the intercom
Note that some ASPs on the market have limited functionality, so if your hardware does not have a functional SPKR knob, the SPKR output will not work.

This should give a quick glimpse on how to configure the intercom.

Hello Humbert,
question from my side as well: Do you intend to support ASP Volume regulation per channel somewhere in the near future ?
I ask since I'm about to order new hardware.

Thanks and regards,
Johannes

Volume should be supported already.

Hi Humbeto

I tried setting up the intercom system today, without success.

I followed your instructions at the beginning of this thread, and have set up seperate instances of Prosim Audio for the captain, first officer, and observer stations. However, I cannot get it to work.

If I click Intercom test button, I can hear my own voice back on each headset. I assume that is how the test is meant to work. If so, this confirms that the hardware is properly configured.

I think the issue is probably that the PTT buttons are not being recognised. I have an OpenCockpits pedestal. I looked in Prosim combined config, but couldn't find the items that relate to the I/C buttons on the ASPs. Could you please tell me which item it is? Then I can check if the correct IOCP variable is selected.

I found the Yoke PTT buttons in Prosim config and assigned the yoke buttons properly, but unfortunately that didn't work either.

Captain and F/O headsets are on the same PC as P3D and Prosim server. The OBS headsets are on another PC. I have my firewall switched off for my private network on all PC's.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Hi Humberto
I, too, am having some problems to get it to work. My setup first:

TJAP3D (the main computer) runs P3D, Prosim Server, MCP, CDU and Audio. I use CPFlight MCP and their ASP unit connected to the MCP. It also runs the vPilot server. A set of speakers is attached to this computer as well.

TJAFSX runs the weather (Active Sky), Topcat, PFPX and ProsimUtils and vPilot client. The headset with mike is also attached to this machine.
TJAMIP runs the MIP and the radioes (OpenCockpit for the NAVs and FDS for the COMs)

What I would like to achieve is to have the ASP manage the output (normally the headset, but occationally the speakers) when pushing the apropiate contacts on the ASP.
Right now, it doesn't work. Should I have an audio module on the TJAFSX as well? And should the audio server reference to the machine running the Prosim server or ...

regards
Torben

Hi Humberto, Got the intercom system working today captain and 1St officer (Works Great ) would it be possible to add a PTT button to the instructor station so the Instructor can communicate with the cockpit.
