Title: Whats this new CHECH YOUR SIXS?
Post by: Conner on February 11, 2001, 06:53:00 PM
Tonight while playing, HiTech said Conner Check your 6. Then he said he was testing the new CHECH YOUR SIX system?

Now was he pulling my leg or what?

There was a enemy on my tail but he over shot me and passed me up for an easy kill.

Edited to add hitechs name.

Close RAM... HT said before it's going to be a series of keypresses (somehow I feel just typing the persons name is going to be easier... ;-). Still atleast now this means we'll see more "chk 6" calls.

Yeah, he mentioned it in a previous thread. It will be similar to the padlock option, where you select people by scrolling through the friendlies in your field of vision IIRC. Let me look that thread up if I can...

If it's audio, I hope they include text in the buffer to re-enforce the call.

Ichi <looks around the room, "What was that?">

Well im a newbie   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)  i never registered because i had nothing to say before. I just started AH at the end of last week and already im hooked. Just posted this thread because if someone said something about upcomming features i wanted others to know.

BTW Conner is my last name. Jay Conner It adds a more personal feel when someone says youre name reather then a tag.

Whose voice? Would not that mess with RW? Is it a recorded message?

Might be one of these two:

Eagler, hopefully it will be a wave file.

Then you can make it anything you want; fluffy giving an alarming bleet!  Mae West saying "check six, big boy";  Arnold Swarzenegger saying "Hasta lavista babay"; Clint Eastwood asking, "Do you feel Lucky? Punk"  or  Rodney Dangerfiled blurting out "What crawled up your ass?"

 ROFL! I love those Eagler. Especially "What a predicament.."

How it works. You just press a button to select the fiendly closest to the center of your screen, a box is drawn around his ID, if he not the right selection you click again and next friendly currently on your screen is selected. One sec after no more selections are made the message is sent.

We send  a text message on private, we also play a wave file when the message is recieved. The squelch command remains operational so you can filter out miss use of the feature.

"planque tes fesses" (move your bellybutton  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))) is more common use Frenchy  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Basically sounds good but there can be dozens of people to cycle through.  Perhaps this system may be too clumsy to be used under most circumstances.

I think it is important to remember it is an option. I will map it to a key and use it that way. It can of course be ignored if one doesn't like it (for instance I don't use the padlock- even forgot it was in there until this issue cropped up).

If I understand correctly the wave file resides on your machine, therefore you don't push the file to the guy you are calling to, only the command for his machine to play it. This is significant because it disallows the receiver from being abused by the sender, allows language specific calls to be generated for use by the receiver only, and doesn't increase the load on the server.

Pretty slick, really.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

HiTech,
Will we be able to have a .wav file for each aircraft, as we do for engines now?

I would love to get a warning in Japanese when flying the A6M5b, in English accented English when fly Spits, in American accented English when flying the P-47D-30 or P-38, Finnish when flying the Bf109G-2, ect, ect.

Please?

I think HTC should record .wav files of Ronni and Yankee saying "Check six, big boy!" in their best Mae West impersonation.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Personally i think wav files of banana saying "check 6 Big Boy" in his best Mae West impersonation would have me looking around in utter fear and apprehension far faster than Ronni or Yankee saying the same thing  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

 I found a sultry female saying "Hiya bigboy" wave file   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  
 http://64.217.3.98/Wav/LADIES/page01/hibigboy.wav (http://64.217.3.98/Wav/LADIES/page01/hibigboy.wav)

but there is NOTHING on the net for Mae West as far as voice snippets go   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Here's one for Beefcake though (lucky bastidge)
