Old range channel

[fuzeman]

I'd like the old channel 3 range back. You used to be able to find an quiet O'Club to talk to somebody alone, yea... you could do it privately, or just find a quiet room to get away from the noise when not flying.
Also relating to KOTH, it changed the event dramatically as you can not not discuss fights in the tower and keep them from people still fighting, taking away the self-policing aspect of the event.

Why not just separate the O Club from the rest of the base as far as range channel is concerned?

[fuzeman]

1] its my wish   
2] If HTC made a change from a [ as far as I know a completely functional part of the game ] changing it back would seem to me to be easier than making what seems to be a new O'Club.

Then again I got no knowledge of the code involved.

This is the bets option.

This is the bets option.

Actually the bets option is to put $15 on green once a month. I thought everyone was already doing this.

Under the 30 day limit 
The new room/range channel hurts KOTH and I wish it was back the old way or at least a setting change to limit tower conversations TO the tower. A pilot 10 miles from the tower shouldn't hear the controller fart. Well if it was loud enough I guess they might  

But seriously, this really hurts the 'self-policing' aspect of KOTH and the overall atmosphere of the event itself, in my opinion.


Back for another wish after the end of next months KOTHs.

+1  dont even have to change the whole thing back  just give CM's the power to switch it in SEA.

I thought i remember seeing the old range ch still available on the dropdown menu on the buffer?

[Lazerr]

It is still there.. you would have to instruct folks to tune to it.  The new range works well in siutations other than KOTH.

You mean "7 Range"?

If os, that's not the old range channel, that's just the ability to write text in the range channel, which was added some time ago.
There is no 'old range' in the V box dropdown that I can see

True.. i forgot there is no dropdown for that line of voice comms, text only is where its available.

ok can someone tell me what 7 range is supposed to be used for and how it works?

Same as local vox, but with text

Putting up the KOTH Reminders reminded me of this again     

[TequilaChaser]

Yes, this is needed seriously though!

I find it disappointedly to be a problem in KOTH, FSO and Scenarios

To much "NOISE" from others taking off from the same field but are or have different objectives and orders to different locations for the scenarios and FSO

And has put a hamper on the KOTH event for both the KOTH CM's and KOTH participants

Please find a way to at least let the CMs toggle an "Arena Setting"
