Title: check 6 select button
Post by: tactic on August 03, 2004, 10:10:21 PM

Unless i dont know about it and there is one , I'd like to have a select target check 6 button, so i'm sure of whom i'm check 6'ing,  if there is several planes in one spot , for sure from side or rear view, i dont always ck 6 the guy needing it, because the view is just a smigen outa the way, and 4 other guys that dont need the 6 call get it, before the poor guy  now floating down in his chute. I hate to give false ck6 in the heat of battle (it freaks some people out) hehe....  If there is a way now to do that please advise me.  thank you ..

Keep pressing the button.  It cycles through the available friendlies and only sends the warning once it has been left in place for a moment.

Really? I've never had it do that for me. I will have to try this. I am a fervent and religious check 6'er for Rooks, but it gets annoying to have to apologize to those erroneously check 6'd.
I agree that if this isn't a feature, it should be.

when you log on if you hit control tab it enables "friendly lock" then you can use the tab key to select any team member in view. if you then hit the ' key, that teamate will get the check six

It highlights whoever is closest to center in your view when you push the button.

So put your gunsight on him & let it fly.

If thats NOT the right one just keep tapping it till it is.

Once you stop whoevers highlighted gets the warning.

It does work.  Sometimes it doesn't work too well, like you keep hitting it and the one you want never gets selected...but usually it works.
