PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE in the next patch

should be options to de-tune country chat and range vox.  I Think you can just kill the sound so that no-one can hear it.

I think Not also asked for permission to PM, maybe a check box somewhere to allow private communications.

It is pretty sad to want such features but we are dealing with the "intardnets" here.  These options would allow you to block out everything!  The peace and quiet when your flying will be well worth it   .   For the guys who want to let younguns watch this would be the best solution.

Now I don't want AH to become a police state where every word and transmission gets monitored that isn't in the spirit of having a fun community.  It is good to talk to your friends and enemies when playing but it does get spoiled by a very small minority and the large minority of squeakers.

....does get spoiled by a very small minority and the large minority of squeakers.

Oh yeah, the incessant earsplitting whine of the pre-pubecent hollerin' out everything that happens to them in a fight is almost more than grown folks can take during squeaker season!

[Bruv119]

just seems squeaker season never ended since last summer!

Still here. still playing havent they got some frickin homework to do or balls to kick around the yard???

Don't forget you can report abuse of vox using the .vreport command:

Command: .vreport GameID

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameters: GameID; the pilot handle of the player.
Available: Online
This command registers a complaint about a persons voice/VOX abuse. Abuse of the command itself is not tolerated.

                         They do babble dont they? Once flying NOE over very tricky terrain I had to listen to one kid give a 5 min description of how his cat was climbing all over him and licking him. Finally we hit a flat patch of terrain and I was able to squelch him. I dont mind kids, Im a father myself, and most of the kids in the game are pretty nice kids. Just not on NOE missions....OK?

With all do respect intended I ask for 100% more control over the filth that comes via game coms. 

If I have to subject myself to to petty vulger on range channel fotter thats fine.  When other's such as my children or anyone's family members are that another subject.

I subscribe that perminate squelching & range be used.
Tonight my daughter listened to a "younger" member of the AH community tell someone to "suck his dick".  If that gets banned here why not give us the ability to control it in the game?

If you want to comment,   no I will not play with head phone's I could never get used to that... No I will not play when my Kid's are asleep this game has no rating & I like to play it anytime I like...  so don't bother.

While I agree with almost every point you make, it is you who said 'no' to headphones.  I use them for all my games because the missus doesn't want to hear my loud sound fx and the tv is a distraction in a fight.  In the end it is your choice and your responsibility to protect your little'uns ears, not HTC's though I'm sure they will try.  What's a little discomfort compared to kiddling's well being?

[NHawk]

A agree with this post completely.

I'd even go so far as to say every channel, both vox and text should be able to be squelched.

Headphones shouldn't be necessary. When my older daughter used to sit next to me and watch, headphones weren't really an option then because she wanted the full effects of the game as well. For some, a little self control is to much to ask.

I do understand your point, and i agree,But the simple fix would be headphones. you are being a little stubborn there. i think it would be almost impossible to eliminate foul language. I don't believe  ahII is the right place for foul language but I have let a word slip there before.  And i have apologized to the people that heard it. And you are not going to stop some snot nosed brat from doing it on range channel Even if you could pema squelch a player, that will not stop the next one from saying something offensive. or go to clipboard options/preferances/voice and turn voice playback down and not have to listen to anybody.

[Xargos]

I say yes to Perma Squelch.  HTC should also create a way of seeing who is squelched the most so they can keep an eye on them.

That would be a great idea.

[ColKLink]

I'm all for perma squelch. Im all for some kinda block of private messgaes from the poor sap I just shot down, "Yes I know it was a ho". and you died, move on."

[Blammo]

I have to agree on this too.  While I don't curse myself, I understand some do and I let the occassional d*mn or h*ll roll off my back.  My children, which like to play on the other computer in my office, and my wife usually don't even notice those (if I have my speakers on).  However, most times I have to keep my speakers of and put my headphones on.  I regulary hear over range streams like: GD, MFing, SOB just HO'ed me (if you don't know what the abbreviations stand for, good.  The people on range did not abbreviate).  Or things like: that c*cks**kin a**hole.

And this is on a regular basis.

Hey, I know it is the real world and I know people do talk like that.  But if they are not going to have consideration for those around that don't want to hear it (or for those that have ones around them that don't want/need to hear it), then please let us have a way to squelch it out.  That way, they can continue to talk that way all they want and HTC tolerates and those who don't want to hear it don't have to.

I agree HTC we need some better user control over this stuff.
