Feedback The Citizen's Band - 27mhz radio simulator (Win/Linux)

Hey there

Since i wanted to depen real-time streaming and networking, two months ago i started working on this little project.

Is a client/server (dedicated server binaries will be available for community hosting) application simulating a 27mhz radio.

The app is basically a streaming audio chat, where an algorithm shapes the audio in real-time based on factors like the distance in between clients, the weather in the area of the streamer etc..
At the moment, since i'm still focusing on networking and streaming, all the clients gets a 8/10 signal power, regardless of the location. The code to implement the rest has been written but not ready yet to be implemented in a public test version.

Client (available for Windows and Linux) have been written in C# and Unity, while the dedicated server is a pure .net C# application.

So, the app is very straightforward. Once you run the program (note: it records from your default microphone), you just press the power button and get connected to the server. Then you press the push to talk button to start talking.

I don't know how many of you are passionated about radios but still i try
Would be great if you could hop in, invite some friends and try it a little bit.
Theorically the networking system should be able to hold even 100 clients but i need some testers to find out.
Surely there will be issues

Here's a screenshot of the actual interface:



You can download the client binaries from the official site: http://www.thecitizensband.online

Hope to hear you on channel 1!

 

this would make pretty cool (vr) game, trying to listen/connect distant people (by adjusting/building your virtual antenna in game etc.) and collect qsl cards or so..

 

Hello mgear! Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, the program is to implement different modules to upgrade your radio like antennas, signal amplifiers, roger beeps (at the moment everyone has a roger beep module in place but players will have many roger beep modules to choose from or even create their custom roger beep sounds) and so on ...

i didn't think about building and adjusting antennas in VR and collecting qsl cards but sounds cool!
