Does anyone know is Battlecom can handle more that on channel e.g.
Wing Pair= Freq1
Flight =Freq2

And you just hotkey between both?

That's basically the way to do it. You can have multiple channels open so you can have a squadron split into flights. I don't think they can hotkey between them. However, you can also set "whisper mode" hotkeys so that the flight commanders can talk to each other. Our Squadron has used BC extensively in WarBirds and now AH. It is a good program and well worth learning how to use.

Yes you can have separate channels, and you can hotkey in between them. It takes a few minutes to set up the hotkeys, but its not too difficult.

All;
BATTLECOM seems to be THE answer for comms in AH. Our squad has used it with some success- the potential sure seems to be there.

However, we've had LOTS of problems with server crashes/lockups/etc. This has occured on several different BC servers.

Has anyone else had probs like this and what are the solutions??

THANKS,

RAS and I tried to get comms on BC, but for some reason we never did.
This thing seems a bit bulky and lacks order in its interface.

In particular, when RAS setup as the host on his cable modem, and I tried to log in, I showed up on his panel, but it never gave me a connection.  After a minute, it dumped me back to nothing.
