A post by a player who has problems using vox reminded me of the text macros that people used in AW: "cc", "OTW" "WTG", etc.
Back then, I used the CH controller software to make macros, but it might be useful if it could be done in-game. Maybe allow
three (?) macros to be mapped to a controller or the keyboard.

You'll probably get beat silly for having the nerve to suggest something like that but man o live I had forgotten about that. Too low brow for this crowd, he he, these guys are Flight Sim Pilots not a bunch of half crazy 20 year olds

These would be useful: "cc", "in", "out".
Or: "FW porking ords and dar", "Yak hiding in the field ack", "CV turned just as I was landing".
I'm sure there are others. :devil

HTC might not condone macros, but you could use Voice Attack. It's made for acting on voice commands, like if you say "Engage warp drive" in a space game, it could retract weapons if they are deployed and then activate the warp engines - all by passing the corresponding key presses to the game. Along with voice recognition, you can assign a keyboard shortcut or a controller button press.
It would be easy to create a macro that would open the text radio to the channel you want, then enter in a preset message, then (for safety) do nothing else; you would manually hit enter to send the message.

The ideas is that text macros would be useful for players who have trouble using voice comms (or commands).

As I said, Voice Attack lets you assign the macro to a button; you don't need to use the voice recognition. It has a free version and might be worth trying.

The return of the "Kill Macro".............. :banana:
So can anyone here remember their AW kill macro?????
HOWZAT!

A page of custom macros on the clipboard or a separate macro clipboard would be nice for VR. They could be assigned to keys or controllers or just click the one you want.
