Ability to revert from the new "area" range channel

[Spikes]

Can we have the option to revert to the old system of Room rather than Range? We can keep the new system as default for new players to make it easier, but it would be nice to hop into the hanger or O'Club again and not have to worry about not being able to hear or have a conversation with someone without moving to a back line base.

Not sure how hard it would be, but just a check box with "Room" or "Range would be nice for Vox.

I guess people opting out of the range channel would kinda defeat it's purpose.
My own proposal for that problem was to generally excempt the Oclub  from the range channel.

If I'm not misunderstanding your request, we already have that option.  As I understand it, the channels are configurable - so you should be able to have either Range or Room, or both, or neither, as you prefer.

You just click on the arrow of one of the four radio channels and select the channel you want from the dropdown selection list.



Or are you asking for this to happen automatically when you go to the Hangar or O'Club?  That might be cool - if you have one of the channels configured for Range or Room - it will automatically be set to "Room" when in the Hangar or O'Club, and automatically revert to "Range" when you leave?

Oboe, this stems from sitting in the tower waiting for the start of FSO and not being able to hear our squad briefing over the constant range chatter.

Only for text.

Ah, OK thanks guys.

The simplest fix is jump everyone to a back field and brief them. Usually have the entire pack briefed in by Thursday night well ahead of jump off to avoid that 15 minute pre flight FSO crush of activity.

[Krusty]

I agree. Hopping to hangar used to be a great way to separate yourself from other units at the same field so that you could have squadron briefings in FSO (or scenarios, like Rabaul going on right now) and you get SO MUCH radio clutter it's really annoying.

I don't hear it too much in FSO towers but KOTH is affected big time...we can't talk in the tower without the players in game hearing it all.

Also don't like hearing the talk in the tower.

Just exempt the O'club from range vox and give it its own O'club range 

[JimmyD3]

Well just for the record, I LOVE the new range setup. I can be in the tower and convey observations to those in the "air".

[perdue3]

Just exempt the O'club from range vox and give it its own O'club range 

This would be fair enough. In FSO and other events, it is easy to hop in O'Club to discuss plans. It also gives squad mates a place to go where there is no chatter.

I would like to add that I like the ability of hearing range vox in Tower. However, I feel that the O'Club should be a place free of this.
