Title: 200 channel
Post by: caldera on May 29, 2025, 06:25:10 AM
I can't believe I'm asking this, because I've always blocked channel 200, but...

Is 200 now turned off?  Country chat is next to non-existent, with no drama to read on climb out.

200 is still available, and at times just as bad/good as the old days.   :devil

It doesn't work for me.  I have it enabled in tab 1 with everything else and tab 3 by itself.

try this dot command:    .radio 1 200      that should make ch 1 into 200 using the  "/" key.

Kinda weird to me people use dot commands instead of simple text edit or right clicks. You can just type 200 in a radio channel. Did I miss something?

Same thing with squelch, right clicking a name on roster does the same.

I’ve always found it quicker than reaching for my mouse, to each their own I suppose.

Ya, to some thats true. Most have had decades to memorize them, newbie not so much. I think it over complicates some task for new players. Get them off and running, let them memorize them in time.

Not a complaint, you’re right, to each their own. Just winderin

Edit: Problem I see is they aren’t where new players know they exist?

Same here.

I use the dot commands to change radio channels, as well as moving to airfields

It would depend on your setup too, I usually have my mouse out if the way when I’m flying so I have to fish around for it. I’m glad there’s multiple ways to do stuff.

An easy to find list of useful dot commands you could find in game would be good. (Unless there is one and I haven’t noticed it, which is not impossible)

Ya a clipboard page with stuff like this would be great. If its there I haven’t found it. After being here a while I just know I can find it easy on Fugi’s page.

Btw, thanks for the BoB films, was a major help. Provided good scenes.
The action in this video will top my MotA. Plus doin much higher res.

the only dot command you need to know is .help

Type it in the radio bar ingame and it will give you the list of dot commands.

It’s always the obvious stuff like that that never occurs to me  :D
