... don't complain about the M18 sneaking up on your positions, because you chose not to read my warnings. :old:
Thank you.

information is power!!

I had that trouble a few days ago. My mic was dead. Flew a Storch towards a Vspawn,
where several nme GV's were ib. Had 2 friendly tanks I was spotting for.
One of the guys kept saying that I wouldn't respond on radio when he called
for info. I kept typing on local to READ THE TEXT!!!! lol
Finally, after a few minutes he caught on.
I guess people don't like to read anything but white, or purple not eye-catching enough, lol

I use to be notorious for not reading text. People thought I was ignoring them. I wasn't just couldn't seem to watch the text while flying.

Room text is a little misleading, you mean same sortie base text. No one can read it if they lifted from a different base than the typist
-
I'm surprised how often guys let enemy tanks drive right up to them or how often they spawn right in front of a camped vehicle hangar.

Very true. I'd rather have a Range Text, like we have Range VOX.

This would be way more useful than what we have now!

Hopefully this could be implemented as a channel, such as Room-Country-Mission-All-etc.

I think the most misleading thing is that "room" is commonly called "range" text by the players ;)

You do have range text, it's called "Room", range vox is called "Room" also. The text is activated with a SHIFT /.

[SHIFT][/] is the keyboard shortcut for whatever you have tuned to Radio 2. It could be anything, not just "Room". ;)

Only if you have "Room" tuned to radio channel 2. ;)

I believe that's default, I've never changed it. :)

Sort of. Room means "anyone who lifted/spawned from the same base you did" Range means "anyone near by" (sorry, don't remember the distance)
If you spawn from a V base, and a plane is overhead, "room" text will not appear on their screen because you came from a different base.

I like the way it is now... If you want to say something to people in range, use Vox. If you want to communicate with people that upped fom where you did, use room text. And if you don't have a mic, you can type on country to get those in range or possibly others not yet in range, but interested or heading that way. And if you want to communicate to a specific player, use .pm.
So you have four choices.
Choose wisely to be most effective. :old:

Can a plane send a "check 6" to a GV?

yes

Only when in tower. Inflight it's called "range".
Yes, I actually had to check that :uhoh

That's kinda' the point of being able to have a range text. You wouldn't have to broadcast to the country, just to talk to the plane flying next to you. It would cut down on the Country watermelon chat. ;)

Use .pm or Vox. :aok

Let's say your mic is broken. You fly over a friendly vehicle spawn and you see a bad guy. You would like to warn them its coming. Are you going to PM all of them or would it be nice to have range text as an option?
This isn't rocket science....

Sure, another option is nice, but in the meantime nothing wrong with using country on those rare occasions your mic is broke AND you fly over a veh spawn at another base AND you see a bad guy AND you want to warn more than one friendly. Not like that will happen every day.
Country: FYI, guys at V32 NW spawn, bad guy out.
I might be at another base and want to gv some, now I know where to go. :aok
Making due with what you have is not rocket science either. :)
Another option is always nice. :old:

range text is in green and room text is in purple---green--everybody in your country can see your message--purple--only people in your area can see your message--least ways thats the way it's supposed to work
-
--purple--only people in your area can see your message--least ways thats the way it's supposed to work
No it's not supposed to work this way and it does not.
purple - ROOM text - can be read by everybody that launched from the same base as you, regardless of range. It works all across the map. On the other hand, if you fly next to someone who upped from a different base, he won't be able to read the text.
If you are in the tower, it's actually working for the ROOM you are in, i.e. tower, hangar, oclub.

Purple = room text while in any room ie... Tower, oclub, hangar or map room
and once you launch, it becomes RANGE text for that particular base/ cv you up from
Green = country wide text, everyone on your country can see it
Hope this helps

To clarify, there is no such thing as range text. If two people up from A1 and then fly to the opposite ends of the map they can still talk on channel 3.
purple - ROOM text - can be read by everybody that launched from the same base as you, regardless of range. It works all across the map. On the other hand, if you fly next to someone who upped from a different base, he won't be able to read the text.

Err, what he said.

Well it sure is not still called "room text", once you have launched!
It is in fact local text specific to the base one has launched from...
but I could have sworn I already posted that.... maybe I didn't... oh well

I think the main confusion comes from the fact that the list header of players withing "range" in the Voice box is also using a purple font. This is the one that changes, because it's indeed vox that changes from "room" to a true "range" function when you change your location from tower to inflight. But this is the voice box, and the list contains only the people that are in voice range
The text channel however is always called "room"

All those sweet nothings didn't go ignored? They were just missed?
I've got a bag of fresh veggies and I'm willing to share. I can't quit you.
