Time does. If I had to type squelch commands for every player within range all night I wouldnt have time to fly at all.

This is the gameplay and REQUEST forum is it not?

If its a waste of your time you have no one to blame but yourself. Go find some other device to waste your time with.

Yesser!

I've asked for this option time and time again on here. With no reply from any of the crew at HTC.

For some, their "gaming experience" may be to chat with everyone around them, and make nice, hold eachothers hands and like Leviathn said, talk about Little house on the prarie episodes.

I on the other hand do not care about these people or what they have to say. I dont like anyone, nor like to hear anyones voice through my headset. Hell I dont even like to hear myself, which is why I dont use VOX.

Not everyone who plays this game does so with a side intent, of finding that best buddy whome they can share their days turn of events with.
.squelch range

please

I don't want him or anyone else to stop or change they way they talk. I just want to have the choice of when to hear it and when not. If I could turn range on and off at will, I would have had it off while the kids are awake. If not, then it would be my fault/responcibility.

Hell, I'd be pissed off too if somebody was talkin French in front of my kids. I mean, kids repeat what they hear! Next thing you know, your kid got in a fight at school, and you find out he gave up before it started! 73 should be whupped for that one!

Nomak

I am in agreement with you. I asked for this future time and again only to be attacked by people. The last attack on my request was by HUB so I found it funny that a couple of weeks latter he changed his mind and thought it was a good idea to have this future because some one was talking not dirty, but too mach

In anycase, squelch or perma squelch work after the fact (you know, a 3 year ols asking you what !^$@^%^%! means and why is this guy screaming ?). I want the ability to turn off VOX. Heck, half the time is broken anyway, all I ask for is the ability to break it at will

Christ man, time for you to come out of the closet.

If you cant be your self (geekarsefruitecake) at home infront of your loved once how could you ever be your self?

I think its time for you and your family to attend to G.A.H.F.A (Global Aces High Fruitecake Association) meetings so you and your loved ones could discuss these issues in a professional forum. Maybe after a few years both you and your wife will attend the G.A.H.F.A Pride Parade proudly wearing nothing but flight sticks and headsets.

Yup I'm for it as well. I can normally tolerate it, but if there are a bunch of guys at a base, and they start clammoring about fighter hangers, VH, GVS, where the goon is, STOP PORKING, why the troops died, Why Michael Landon died, Moph's underwear color...

I just can't squelch all of them and still fight at the same time. If there were one button that would be the r0x0r.

I really can't say it would hurt gameplay. Fly with some of the guys who have posted on this thread... They may not talk much, but you bet they will give you a chk 6 when someone is on your tail. Lots of times f6f's will give me fits because I can't see my low 6 well in a furball, and when someone gets on me I can't see, my buffer fills up when I'm flying with good company.

I use range to call out planes from time to time, but I don't have a preference doing it with the apostrophe key or range vox... Definetely a good idea Nomak

It can only be a good thing to include a way to turn range vox off and on.

Kegger26 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 08, 2005, 10:01:45 AM »

I just have my squad use our squad chan. I tell them to ignore all the range commos, and only listen for that "beep" of one of our guys talking. Myself or my XO will hit the range chan if we need to give someone a heads up, or ask if they need help. But that is it.
In a dog fight we have one guy fly high cover on us, myself and my wingman will work a plane over. So the only real commo that is taking place is our high cover guy, telling what is going on above and behind our fight. That and me and my wingy calling in & out on a fighter, this way one of us is always high, while the other is low. Works really well for us.

Last night you and Jonnyra were being chatty Kathys. Someone said something about it on range. Somthing to the effect, that the only person on rooks that talks more on vox than Shawk, is JonnyRA. In truth SHawk talks on squad vox alot. JonnyRA just talks to be heard. He lives in Aces High, has been playing for about a month and knows everything. He seems to think it is his job to tell everyone else what to do, should do or not do. That kind of crap on vox really bugs me.

DaddyAck · « **Reply #39 on:** April 08, 2005, 11:26:07 AM »

I play late at night so my kids and wife are usually asleep. I have a head set so I do not need to wory about being heard, but I would have to say that if my child were to hear and repeat anything I would be pretty cheesed off, Also I do hope someone either moderates the text being typed or people become more courteous. Because I would hate it for my child when she gets older to read some of the stuff being said. But I guess your opinions on this issue relate to your being a parent or not.

I don't know JohnnyRa well. Considering there were a grand total of 4 people in the area and no fighting, I fail to see how saying I'm gonna land out of boredom is being a "chatty Kathy". Guess you -really- need a range vox toggle command.

okay dedalos, I apologize for changing my mind. I'm sorry you called us "********" for not agreeing with your prior rants. I deeply regret having responded to any of your assinine whiny little posts in the past, with the intent to wind you up. We are now in agreement, albeit for different reasons. You have a toddler who you dont want be learning colorful phrases, and I'm sick of range spamming. Can that be good enough? Does this really need to be a bbs pursefight that drags on for months?

Make range tunable.

Easyscor · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2005, 02:56:24 PM »

Hey, range vox is great, I don't want to go to another channel or see any squelch commands at all. Then nobody would hear my mindless drivel and my self-written drinking ballads! And if you don’t appreciate hockey or football, well too bad! So what if I vent a little on range when I get shot up, everybody does.

NOT!:rolleyes:
