Realistic radio distortion for VOX

[nirvana]

Have you ever sat behind a radio stack and had to listen to actual radio transmissions?  No thank you.

what we really need is a dot command to set individual vox volumes.

[gameID] is coming through at 110db and everyone else is normal level?    .volume [gameID] 0-100 would set the volume for that person on your computer. 0 could replace squelch function and would reamin next tiem you log in (can i hear, perma squelch at last?). Default setting would be 50, so you have a scale either side to for too quiet or too loud.

Radios in airplanes, for the most part they sound quite clear, from my experience, but with that distinct radio quality, occasionally you'll get squeals / garble.

Some peoples mics are bad enough (CR2008)

I think everyone's misunderstanding - if you made it sound like a real radio, the quality would be many times better than it currently is.  It wouldn't help or hurt the issue with people's mics being loud/soft.   They'd just be loud/soft with better quality,       Doesn't matter, it won't ever be implemented, just fun to kick around.

I vote no on this one. We already have distortion with people that have the mic in their mouth, or have it to far away, or have the volume set to low or to high. This would just make things worse.

Some wishes do, but remember any change takes time to code.

I was going to say I'm there!

  It would sound cool if it sounded like Gold Leader in Star Wars...then it could match up w/ my LA7/Xwing fighter sound and lasers. But, probably best left as is.

Thats High Frequency band distortion. I play with the HF set in the plane all the time. Its fun to find some nut paranoid spouting off about racial armegeddon, the illuminati and the CFR and tune a few cycles away and distort him.
