REQUEST - Radio Channels Editing/Saving
« on: December 30, 2004, 08:44:07 PM »
I would like to see it where you could save a number of channels/names in the drop down channel box.........say like you got certian people you chat with privately.
I would like to have the ability to save their names to a channel, or the channel 200 to a channel so I can easily click it and it pop in to that tuned channel......

is this doable?

it would make it much easier switching channels and save time while in the game verses having to click channel backspace or erase then type in channel then click enter etc......

what does everyone think about this?

You mean a favourites list of CPID's?

It's a good idea; but it's close to a squelch list; something that HTC's allways been against.

not just gameid's  channel numbers too

like ch200, or say you fly with other squads and have different channels etc...

say like

channel 200
channel 150
Redd
Seeker

put a limit to it, maybe 1 or 2 spots per different channel #1, #2, #3, #4

that would give you 4 or 8 channels you could save or edit...we can edit our loadouts, hps, gun covergence, fuel load etc..to stay why not be able to edit our radio channels?

That'd be a pretty cool addition, I'm all for it.

They could add 2 'saveable' slots to each dropdown for the channels. They would simply save the last 2 people or channels you tuned to.

i would be all for this idea also.

HTC might say that its easy enough to go to roster and click 'tune to' there tho, which is kinda true in a way.

It would be nice to have a few saveable channels for ease of use deffinitely.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

Good suggestion in my opinion.

Don't know if its doable or not, but I it shouldn't be that hard.

As it currently saves squad, country etc.

Even if you were able to save 1 for each channel.

Course if it IS too hard HT could always just give us 4 more text channels & a dedicated "wingman" channel.  :)

A dedicated wingman channel would be outstanding! (I get ragged on all the time for talking too much on the squad channel lol)
