Title: For those 14 and under.
Post by: Belial on October 30, 2010, 06:39:20 PM
Did you know you can tune to yourself and hear how you sound?  Type your own name in to vox 5 and talk.

I say this because while you may not have "that high" of a voice in person you may on vox.

So typing more and listening or talking less will go a long way with getting respect.



I have nothing against any of you but I don't like squelching you.  (it is unbearable sometimes when young kids talk)

It is way more unbearable when one particular "adult" curses non-stop and has his mic cranked pretty loud.  I squelch him on sight.

GV'ers are the new squeaker as far as I can tell. Their yappity yap like a sewing circle, inceasantly, making air coms near to impossible, then yell at each other about not being able to here because of running engines.

I avoid over-flying GV battles for this reason.

I can squelch a squeaker. 20 men discussing ricochet's and Albertson's coupons should tune to themselves though

 The solution to hi pitched voices is simple,run you sound through an equilizer and cut all fequencies above 2k down to -12dB. I've done this for years and have little or no problems with them now,I cant always hear them but then as Martha says"thats a good thing"!

The last 3 or 4 scenarios I have volunteered for walk on player assignment duty...

Surprisingly you can set these guys aside for awhile during the assignment process, then get back to them and explain the importance and benefit of non-emotional and clear and meaningful communication...

Some of the most enthusiastic 'squeaker' types have turned out to be incredible assets to the units they were assigned to...and I cannot count the times when what originally appeared as a squeaker...bacame a sought after asset on follow on frames...

I think the best thing to do when you encounter a squeaker is get him to join you on a private chat at a remote tower and just clear a few things up with them...like how the overall game politics work...how important measured and meaningful communication is...

Of course some of them are to immature to deal with that...but many of them will surprise you...after all they have decided to play a game that is far more technical than most other online games...

At first...give them a break...and try and help them....their are plenty of diamonds in the rough amongst the squeaker population...

From time to time some are beyond hope...and I squelch them...but many of these kids are just enthusiastic and have the zeal of youth....

Give them a chance before you throw them out...

Out

But nothing compared to an adult going crazy for not getting a check6 or because I did not strafe radar as I was commanded to ehh?  Leave the kids alone.  If it is that bad maybe bring up the base on your speakers a bit?  10 years in this game I only had problems with the so called adults  :aok

I will gladly welcome a young player.  We need for more young people to appreciate how hard it was to hit a target from a fighter plan during WWII.  I myself gained a new respect and appreciation for WWII fighter pilots after I started playing.  And I know that the real thing was even harder.

Having said that, I also agree that it would be a good thing for younger players to hear how they sound on the air.  I would suggest recording a couple of flights, and then play them back to see how you sound to other pilots.

An interesting side note to this:  I have a definite tenor voice.  Many years ago, the phone company started using equipment that just happened to raise the pitch of my voice.  I could tell when the equipment was upgraded in a certain part of the country, because people started calling me "ma'am" on the phone.  :o It was rather irritating, but I had to live with this for quite a while before a another equipment upgrade put things back to normal.

I was in a squad , back in the times called THE CREW. I hope for your sakes you were not on the same range freq.

Squad members:

B6Pacman (Me at age 13)
Botkins / NanoCrew
CrzyThnU (13)
JohnnyJr
Hcetih (12 year old with attitude)
SgtShrif
Trinity3
GhostCDB
79Nerdie (13)
Ruler2

Basically, no one over the age of 17 was in the squad at any time. And 4 squeaker of the year winners were members at some point. Nuff said

lilsquid, Goondude and Tachyon were DA members

Combine all these together on ONE VOX. and thats what I was a member of for 6 months.

I thought all kids grew up smelling the dope in the hanger from the repairs and getting ride alongs from their dads friends. There was a computer back then, it was called E6B. It was finger powered after you programed the software in your head to use it properly. Hopefully you recharged it with a good meal and not scotch.
