What's it for?  

And how does one use it for what it's for?

It has to do with your connection OM. If it starts flashing your connection isn't stable.

If he didnt ask he wouldnt have found out. Maybe the Oldman is lucky the damn thing never lights up for him.

Heh, yes, Kazaa, I like to think of myself as representing the minimum community standard.

You should stop by AvA sometime, you could probably teach me a thing or two.

Most people who know have spent lots of time in the H2h arena's.

if it goes yellow you have a bad connection,if it goes green you better look out,and if it goes too red,well you know the rest.


And most people in Ah don't know you can talk between countries on vox channels above 200.

Hmmmmmm...interesting. I have been reading that incorrectly through the years I guess. I always thought it said bacon. When it would blink I would head to the nearest friendly runway expecting breakfast to be served. I was always commenting on the damn lieing bacon light.

BTW..howdy OM. :)

Lol what A lash out from Morph, only got 1 thing to say too that….someone is having A hard time.

Anyway, I would have happily told Oldman what the bacon light represents.  Like I said “ we all got to learn sometime”

P.S Oldman being that your A vet, maybe you could teach me A thing or two
:aok

Not a problem, Kazaa, I got used to having people laugh at me long ago (wouldn't be able to play AH if I hadn't!).

It is channels above 199 i think, 200 already works.

Mr Morpheus, I had a lot of respect for you up to this point.

But the fact that Oldman did not take offence and can see the funny side about it too, is just adding to the fact that your a salamander.

At the time I was amazed that A vet of the game did not know what the becaon light was, but now I understand that he plays in the AvA and likes to keep himself to himsself, fair play.

P.S I wish I never added to this thread now:( and I was not trying to be a smart ars!

Plus, I just found out that you could use the [ and ] buttons too zoom in from the bombers view. < points and :rofl

lol...I figured it meant that I was showing up on the bad guy's Dar.

I have been flying AH for like 5 years and there is so much I still don't know about it.

For instance...when I was in the 13th TAS one squad night we decided to take a base or two.  I had just been shot down so I was asked to up a goon.  I was like "welll....err....I've never flown one before, what do I do to drop the troops?"  :)  Then when I spawned a C47 some goof crashed right in front of me and I got a proxy kill.  THAT was awesome.

LOL Tell me about it.
I had not had the transmit portion of VOX to work correctly for me since AH1.
I asked about the probelm a few times and tryed this, that and the other to no avail.  I just gave up and said to heck with it. I could recieve OK, but inflight if I hit transmit it was all over but the crying.
Yesterday, Slammer got me straightened out and up and running on VOX in about 30 seconds.

All right, all right, I got the best one of them all. :O

One of my friends & squad mates has been flying the game for about a year now on short visual range & just found out two days ago that you could use the Ctrl F1, F2, F3, F4 keys. :rofl

P.S: Sorry for calling you a name Mr Morph :(
