Flying in a horde, many times we are bombarded with constant radio chatter. Considering the most likely model of the Aces High player base demographic, most of the time I hear voices of older men being interweaved with pre-adolescent squeeks.
Now I'm all for communication, but sometimes this gets a little overwhelming.
Couldn't Fred Novak flying his Spitfire Mark V over the channel tune to English and German music radio stations during a boring sortie?
If so, I'd like to do the same. I'd like HTC to provide me with several radio channels, each one pertaining to a particular flavor of music. We could have a WW2 music channel, a more modern Pop channel for the early 20's age group. A house/dance channel for all that EU early 20's youth. Music radio channel selection should be bounded to hot keys, for immediate music style change, greatly easing switching when faced with a very dynamic MA environment.
This is the best idea I've seen today.

:rock :aok :x
Sometimes I like the banter, some days I've give my soul for a "squelch range."

Been discussed a few times before.. I think a major factor would be the royalties for broadcasting such music... and I don't know if HTC would want to assign somebody DJ duties ..

Just like the did in Silent Hunter 3 +... let me tell you, that ruled when playing. :aok
-
Have you seen the screens for SH5? Can we say :banana:
-
How about a rock channel from the 50's trough 80's? Good stuff :rock
-
+1 very good idea :aok

I think that they should get a bunch of unlicsenced music and patch it into the program, cop an update from HTC on todays song list and it will play it,
Sounds like a winner. +1

you know how much research will go into making sure a song is not copyrighted? not including what kind of music, do you like this song or that song. to much trouble. better yet get a radio and put it next to computer and play whatever you want.

I would just settle for a range mute option. I don't understand why we don't have this.
-
i would think a war time station would do the trick
tune in for those buff missions or when rtb
the channel could be dependent on which plane your in...
British channel Brit planes.German ch for German iron etc
leave the modern stuff out.....we can all sort what we want at home..
but actual war time recordings would rock er i mean jitterbug... :D

Just tuned into a streaming radio station that played Jazz and Big Band and had it running through Windows Media Player while logged into game.
Seemed to work ok. I could hear all the other sounds together with it..
Certainly added some nice background noise.
-
This would be ideal if:
1. The radio plays automatically in the tower.
2. During flight, a pilot has the ability to tune channel 5 to a known radio station... IE Channel 5: 300 for english. 301 for german.

+1 sounds good :cheers:

Will never happen due to royalty demands by record companies (which would probably double the monthly AH fee).

Party pooper! Lol :salute

I only got the lame menu song... :(
-
Are there no free of charge songs from the WW2 period?
-
There is a lot of royalty free music out there but...eh...you wouldn't want to listen to it.
-
There is a site I really like...lot's of 40's music. http://www.upchucky.com/
http://upchucky.com/music-jukes/40s/player.html
http://upchucky.com/music-jukes/40s-2/jukes.htm
And there are seperate selections for 1941, 1942, all the way to 1949.

Good place for music to use in films and movies :)

just make a deal with xm 40 s on 4 or something like that and let them worry about the copyright!
-
I just turn up my own music and my engine sounds the rest fades away.

There's nothing like doing 350+ in a dogfight and listening to Beethoven and Mozart. Those are definetely free of charge to use. And why not? If you can turn it off, that's great. Another great Public Domain dogfight song is
O Fortuna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk).
And the rock version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk) (not sure about the freeness)

mozar is free, but since for some reason he never got around to actually record his music then its lost. however they people/groups/orchestra/pianist that recorded his music do have a copyright to that specific recording. so we are back to square one who's gonna spend time to make sure the recording is actually in the public domain.

I listen to Live 365 internet radio. Ill post a link below. Great music. Every possible genre. Try this--- Go to Live365.com, under search type in WWII and bingo up comes a bunch of ( internet ) radio stations that play music from that era. Some even play war news, along with the music.
Just a note if the station says VIP, that means you have to suscribe to it, but many many are absolutly free. Give it a whirl. You may have to sign up for a free membership. You will have do do it on the main menu (HOME). I did and never recd any spam emails and the like.

Ok who doesn`t have a play list already on their computer.I play mine almost all the time and have no problems,well I can`t hear all the chatter and sometimes miss "6" calls,I should of been looking out for myself anyways.I see no point in a HT radio unless it only plays music from the proper time period.I'd love to hear old german music playing,with war updates and all that sorta stuff,while cruisin in my 110g-2. :salute
