Title: Text buffer
Post by: Larry on January 02, 2008, 11:35:25 AM
I would like to see the test buffer go across the whole width of the screen. And maybe a second tunable VOX.

Text buffer obscures too much of the screen as it is. :rolleyes: I'd rather have the text as the same resolution as the rest of the screen.

Put my vote in for a second tunable vox, tho.

I'd love the text buffer to be smaller on high rex screens.

It's massive on a 22" monitor.

Add an option to decrease the text size.

Making it wider would be a good idea too, less scrolling....

maybe make the buffer adjustable on the x an y axis? you could shorten/lengthen it and stretch it?

100% on the 2nd VOX. Very helpful when running seperate flights on missions. That and setting different take-off fields on missions would make them much more effective!:aok

i would like to see something where you can hide the text buffer like the clipboard. Be able to push a command and it would come up.

It consumes enough space as is.

Actually, I'd like to see a text "range" channel!:)

:aok

I'm guessing the text buffer size is so small so that you can read everything said even at 640x480 but...is there anyone even playing at that resolution anymore?  Surely we could at least bump it up to a 800x600 friendly size.

2nd vox would rock, and so would the ability to mute range vox.

I turn the transparency on the text buffer all the way down so I can see my controls.

I'm 50/50 on the longer text buffer, and 100& agree for a 2nd vox.

I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure when you tune room on one of your radios ( for me) you get text in purple that goes to range.

That's tower based text which isn't the same thing. Hmm, I haven't checked it in years but when I started, if you up at two different fields, you couldn't talk to each other, even within icon range.

I thought it was only people that came from your base.

This is still the case. Purple text is "room", which is to say, anyone who ups from that particular base can see each others' purple text, regardless of how far away they end up.  It is NOT the same as range.
