Title: Squelch GV/AC/All radio transmissions
Post by: kculon on January 30, 2011, 11:41:03 AM
It would be great to be able to squelch all GV within range when in a aircraft (and visa versa).
Sometimes the mix and amount of AC and GV radio chatter makes communications impossible.
Maybe assign a key for toggling this(like icons)? All Vox, GV only, AC only, No Vox.

It wouldn't be so bad (and actually adds to the atmosphere of the game) if they'd just stick to relevant chatter about the battle, instead of the insipid blather about their friend's brother's uncle's new exhaust on his hotrod or what adult beverage best goes with the smell of kerosene.

Although this has been wished for before, it still warrants consideration.  +1

I personally wouldn't use this because I like to hear what's happening above me while on the ground and vice versa. But, I still give it a +1 because it seems a nice feature for those who would use it.

Agreed.  With that said, while not using it or being tuned in you also cannot give check six calls as well.  That is a form of communication.  So a gv not tuned in to air comms could not check six a friendly unless he is tuned in to do so.

I've wished for this in FSO's F O R  E V E R.........

I know people like to chew the fat and so on but I'd like to be able to hear my CO's instructions.  At least until I pass the psychic friends network entry exams.  :D

If you're in a plane, highly unlikely any gv chatter is gonna be relavent to what you got going on, esp if you're defensive. There sue are times when I'm at loose ends, and try to spot for them, but more often than not, I'd like the opportunity to squelch them, as well as not see their icons, as it makes it difficult to see friendly planes

I just want to squelch range....after tonight I almost lost my mind....

I don't want to run another mission on TT again...


hell maybe I already can and just don't know it  :bhead

It's the only time I'd use it. It's called mother @#$#$@# tactical radio.....we scream it over and over....to no avail....
Got something that DOESN't apply to the huge fight you're at - type the $#!^

That is why I though a toggling keyboard command would work best, you could turn it on and off or switch  AC to GV in an instant, no fumbling through the clipboard..."now where is that switch???"....
There are plenty of times I talk to GVer's or they talk to me,"fly over here kc, I'll clear your six", but when I'm flying with my squad on a fighter sweep and can't here my squadmates? Not good.

 :aok Not sure how it easy it would be, but I like the idea that it could be toggled between all, gv or aircraft only.  The way it is now tower chatter can't be heard once you have launched.  That same buffer between air and ground units would cut down on the range chat in busy battle areas.

I really don't find it as much of a nuisance as I find it to be less immersive.  One thing I do not wish for is to permanently sever the ability to use vox to communicate with ground and air units, as there are many instances where it is used to coordinate action with both involved in search and destroy missions.

Yeah, I would never suggest that, it's a vital part of the game play, just want more flexibility.

Heh, especially after you've worked with professional people who also understand that it's not an audio facebook channel
