EDIT 20151001 1104edst: I no sooner typed all this up, when TSNotifier failed to start. I have discovered that the popular overclocking program, "MSI Afterburner" was preventing TSNotifier from starting in Cliffs of Dover.
In order to get TSNotifier to start with MSI Afterburner installed, you should load TeamSpeak 3 Client and spawn an aircraft in IL-2: Cliffs of Dover
before starting MSI Afterburner. You should see the TSN text scroll across the top of the in-cockpit screen. This indicates that TSN is active.
Then, if you want the convenient features of MSI Afterburner, simply hit the Windows key to exit to the desktop and start Afterburner normally. When you have finished, you may leave Afterburner running and return to CLoD with a click of it's icon in the lower left taskbar. TSNotifier will continue to operate. Incidentally, you do not have to spawn an aircraft before running Afterburner... TSN will work as long as "Launcher.exe" executes successfully.
end of edit...
After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I finally got TSNotifier to work
NORMALLY in Windows 10 x64 using IL-2: Cliffs of Dover! Here's what I did, step by step:
1. Windows 10 control panel: Uninstalled TSNotifier and TeamSpeak 3 Client.
2. Downloaded and installed: [TeamSpeak3-Client-win64-3.0.18.exe]. This version is compatible with [TSNotifierV1.6.0.msi].
3. Downloaded and installed: [TSNotifierV1.6.0.msi].
4. Run IL-2: Cliffs of Dover. Spawn an airplane in multiplayer mode. There will be no TSNotifier text at this time.
5. Exit the server. Then, exit the game to Windows 10 desktop.
6. Open TeamSpeak 3 Client from the new shortcut.
7. Observe the
Easy to miss TSNotifier icon in the toolbar at screen lower right.
8. Right Click the TSNotifier icon in the toolbar and chase through these options:
8a. General... Check "Show Speaker", "Show Self", "Use Custom Nicknames (Contacts)", "Start with TS3".
8b. General... Confirm that "Hardware Overlay" > "Enable" is
NOT checked.
8c. Click on "Edit gamesettings.ini". This opens a Notepad page.
8d. Scroll through the items on this page to find:
[Launcher.exe]
game.enabled=0
Change the zero to 1 so you now have:
[Launcher.exe]
game.enabled=1
Save the [gamesettings.ini] file and close the notepad screen.
Close the TeamSpeak 3 Client.
The TSNotifier icon will remain active. Close it by Right Clicking it in the toolbar and selecting "Quit". Failure to do so will result in a Windows warning the next time you try to start TeamSpeak 3 Client. It does not hurt anything, but is just another unwanted message.
Start TeamSpeak 3 Client with the desktop shortcut and confirm the TSNotifier toolbar icon comes into view.
Start "IL-2: Cliffs of Dover". After spawning an aircraft, a white text announcing TSNotifier active will scroll across the top. You are now good to go. Set your colors and other preferences if desired.
