Geeze... between figuring out how to get rid of tokyo Rose nagging me about the base being under attack and trying to get rid of the voice box... All I have been doing in 1.09 is figuring out how to get rid of all the new "features"... And what's with the Xmas tree lighting on the map? It wasn't bad enough that every rest stop and Denny's resteraunt was named on the map without making em all blink?
Nice new planes tho... To bad there is no way to use em in a late war centric MA. Was kinda hoping for a way to make em useful in the MA. Oh well... Maybe the CT guys won't screw up a BOB thing toooooo bad.

Heh, delete the "Warning.wav file.
Other than that, the flashing bases are kinda Christmasy like, although Im not sure why I want to know if a red base is being attacked.
The 110 that is disabled in the MA has a C-130 gunship load of HO guns, which initially was a hoot.
Don't worry, the CT will always be vacant, a point i wanted to make to the 10 tardrattlers that were in the 400+ player MA when the CT had, um 3?
Voice box is a toss up. it works for squad channel not as good as RW, and a "Zapkin" guy on the common channel had me in tears sounding like "Slingblade" until it got annoying.
I haven't ctd latenight though as much as primetime.
-
The X-mas tree "blinking" I'm assuming was to prevent the late night, low population base snatching. Now one can be warned, whether thats good or bad is up to ones individual tastes.
Not the best release IMO, but hey, we got some new toys to play with, thats always a good thing.

id still have to say my favourite thing is you laz :D
in fact man:
sorry man, i couldnt resist ;)

Oh... and what's with the moron that appears in red in the upper right hand corner of my screen? Is that distracting enough for you guys?
loser... flush. it is unhealthy to play in your own (or anyone elses) feces. Believe me on this.

AHVox works flawlessy for myself and our squad...just as well as RW and without the crashes.
The film editor is a first and in time will be a potent tool for training and some othe stuff which will make money for you know who.
The addition of rooms with vox capability is great for mission briefs, whether in a squad or as a country effort....also enhances the growth of a strong community as well.
Additional planes only make the sim stronger and will afford the developers options for continued improvement.
Map blinking for myself is a non-issue...it offers good information which I find hard to understand that this is a bad thing.
Additional sounds and warnings only add to immersion.
What we have, is another good effort by developers who understand their customers and have gone beyond cheap talk by delivering on a consistent basis, an ever evolving product which is not only fun, but from a cost benefit standpoint, a great value.
Of course, just as in RL, some folks are unhappy and crap on whatever comes their way. Gotta love em!
:D

[Piss take mode on]
So appart from AH voice (which btw I think is the most well thought out and convenient integrated voice coms system since ever.......so good I think HT should release a standalone version for use with other games) and appart from the air raid system (which loadsa people have replaced the siren and deleted the warning babe and ignore the flashing which appears when the base next to it is under attack and seems to stop when a base is *really* about to be captured) and appart from the new strat system (which doesnt seem to have been implemented on a map yet even though we've suddenly got all these inaccessable VHs popping up all over Mindanao) and appart from the new larger maps (which we also havnt seen yet) and appart from the 5 new planes (which, as Laz points out, are all early war and - without a limited perking of the late war planes - prolly wont see much use after the novelty wears off) and appart from the numerous bug fixes (of stuff that once was claimed to have been a feature) what else did we get?
And why did it take this long?
(ha! dont answer that, see above......)
[/Piss take mode off]
I really pleased with Ah voice. It's just so damn convenient. Range channel is gonna see a lot of use in scenarios with screams of "HELP!". :D
Appart from squeaking Betty I really like the immersion of the air raid siren, especially as you fly past the tower :D. Again, in scenarios it's gonna cause 130 people to press ESC at once to see which base they about to lose.
Lookin forward to the new maps and strat......soon I hope.
Name one person who *doesnt* like the gun package on the 110G. 4x20mm 2x30mm.......
At last! A BoB scenario planeset! HE-111 next Pyro?
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot about the film editor which I havnt had time to look at yet. And Laz, I really like the red name of whoever's transmitting in the corner of the screen.....it's the only way we Brits can tell you Yanks appart.

So you didn't delete the "Additional sounds and warnings that only add to immersion" aka warning.wav, like the rest of the MA?
No wonder your sappy!

hello dweebs
lotsa new things....after the how do i do this and how do i set this, everything went back too normal in the MA....Niki's la7's now zero's and many many spits, didn't I just say normal :eek:
AHvoice sounds funny compared to RW...buts its ok....went on a mission drivin buff....lead fighter said(on AHvoice using range key)
clear to buffs signal....excellent i said...no need to go in gunners pos. ...I think it helps relax the nerves:eek: while i'm still talkin to my squaddies on my channel:D
1 new thing i EXP. yesterday......the ack actually didn't shot me thru building's and tree's......now ain't that cool :p
now to get those damn dweebs who sit in SB for hours shootin GV's(and get resupplied).....its ok to sit there and shot a few GV's,
but hours and get resupplied now that is kinda lame...thats for rollo dude.
this is after all a FLIGHT sim...

Hurricane I. First sortie netted 3 kills and 1 assist with lots of bullets lighting up my targets. Last kill was achieved in a five minute dogfight against a P51 and a 190 while I was bingo ammo (P51 augered, then I ran out of fuel and augered).
Have you actually flown the Hurri I Lasz? If not, I suggest you take it into a furball and enjoy.
SOB
-
Hmm..well...yes....
I would have to say that I did tone down the "warning queen" a bit, and I only wish the bases would flash just when actually being attacked (but by then it would be to late, wouldn't it?). :)
Otherwise i think its a fine job the HTC crew did, and I am quite happy with 1.09.
And, yes, the gun loadout on the 110G2...AWESOME!:D

Your ultimate plan and obsession on me is to have people in your squad buy me beer DRippy?

The Hurri 1!!

Well I like the voice. Actually I WOULD like the voice if I could just have it work with my squad members.
Hooligan

I have mixed feelings about the "range voice" thingy. When it's used sparingly, I think it's great, helps communications, and makes the game more "personal". However, I don't want to be forced to listen to unnecessary radio traffic. We need either a ".squelch player" or ".squelch range" to control it.
Field capture seems to be same as it was in 1.08, so I don't know what effect the new strat will have on gameplay.
Had to turn off warning.wav.
Flashing fields don't seem to matter. Still can't drag players away from the Big Furball.
Turned on the film recorder to try out the new film editor, and (as usual) died like a dog.
The feature that I really want to see tested hasn't been used yet: variable update rate dot dar. I think a low (15 -30 seconds) update rate would go a long way to disable "AWACS SA", without making it any harder to find a fight.
Haven't tried the new planes yet, but would love to see an early war setup in the CT.
Still no P-40.........
-
Sorry that you MA guys think the new planes are worthless, but I beg to differ.
The Ki-67 will be useful in the MA. It's a fast, late war Japanese bomber that first saw combat in the Battle of the Phillipines Sea(Mid-late 1944 I believe.)
The new planes have opened up a whole new set of possibilites for the Special Events and the CT.
The CM's are already working on a BoB TOD, and we can also do a late war Pacific Scenario now that we have the Ki-67.
Thanks HTC!!!!! :)

Can I take them next release hype too, or just when the BOB map is outta rotation next week and 1.09 settles in?
Please HB, don't get defensive AND stupid responding to my comments as if obvious numbers with a new release and new aircraft will magically backup your efforts to discount me. I dig them both. Your efforts are noted. Really.
New planes help, wonder if I mentioned that yet?
-
The film editor is still a bit of a rough diamond, but I believe it'll be a real sparkler with a bit of polish. The potential is amazing
The Me110 will be seeing a *lot* of usage. It's not just the guns - it's the gunner too!
The Spit 1 is so sweet! We'll be seeing a LOT of Spits, leading people to start yelling that a 1940 plane should be perked in the MA (scupcakes). I love the ballistics of the 303's, and they're lack of punch means longer, intense fights (high speed handling's a beetch tho').
Strat leaves me cold, really, but it seems to keep the caps lock kids happy.
I personaly hate all kinds of vox, allways have, but if you *must* have it, this looks to be about the best system I've seen.
As per usual practise, we can't really judge this update until it's "settled in" for a week or so and had the inevitable bug fixes, but honestly - when have we ever seen a *bad* update?

I like the integrated AH Voice too but do have a problem with the quality. Everyone sounds very tinny (is that a word?) and difficult to understand. Its almost like listening to a bunch of Ceylon Warriors (those robot dudes in Battlestar Galactica).
I've also heard people squeaking about the warps and blaming it on AH voice. I havent noticed it being any more warpy than usual but my question is, is AH Voice done server side or client side? What Im asking is, are the vox packets sent peer-peer through each client or are the vox packets sent through the server itself? If its a server side implementation, I can see why HT has reduced vox quality to limit bandwidth usage.
Would love to hear cleaner sounding vox tho. Thats what was nice about RW.
Anyone know anything about voice compression codecs? :)

"Monkey vs. Robot" Dingy.

I think that the vox setup is a welcome addition, my only concern is that all that vox eats up too much bandwith and or server resources. Last night was nothing but a lag fest. If thats what it's gonna cost we need to lose it fast and go back to rw which always worked fine for me.
I'd like to see more htc support for scenarios, strat and organized play types of things and less time spent reinventing the game. Vox is a welcome addition but if htc can get it to work without turning the arena's into lag fests we definately need a way to either squelch specific idiots or turn the range channel off entirely. I dont care to listen to 47 people who feel they just must inform the rest of the world that they are now refueled and ready to take off. Fortunately, most of the people I flew with last night were considerate with regard to unnecessary transmissions.
The new planes are also a welcome addition but like I said we need more organized scenario/historical base types of play to really enjoy them in my view.
All in all, nice upgrade as long as the connect issues get straightend out. I have no idea why someone would spend time writing code to make the bases blink, or add a squeaking betty wav that anyone who plays the game woulda told ya they'd turn off anyway. Wanna add stuff that'll really be fun? Add more realistic damage views, maybe some engine management functions, better still, add armed players as infantry. Instead of ai infantry to take a base, how about a c47 full of players? How bout gv drops by c47? Bombers with more than 1 gunner? Lotsa things to work on besides blinking clipboards and squeaking betty wavs. Just my opinion......it's still a great game and most additions are apreciated.

Hehe I remember that exact fight...the thing turns so damn tight everytime I got a shot you were already gone :eek:. Finally I got impatient and went in for the quick kill but went into a nasty stall 200ft off the deck...Good Fight :D

Considering the changes and additions 1.09 took too long.
AHvoice now appears to work.
Added planes are fluff for me. Nothing really exciting. Would have much preferred some maturation on the GV modeling and additional GVs. EDIT: Dont get me wrong. I like all of em fine. Ki67 is somewhat intersting but none are classics favs of mine, hence fluff reference. Gimme B29, P61, F4Fs, SBDs and SBCs, Yak3s, Vals, Kates, Oscars and some intersting early stuff like P36s, Brewsters mebbe a Catalina and a jeep, M4a3(76), T34-85 and some of them pre 1938 flying thingys. BoB has never really caught my fancy.
Air raid siren: cute and appreciated
Attack warning: Too persistent and apparently country wide. Needs to be broadcast only to people in immediate area and recorded for specific assets.
Flashing icons are fine.
Film Viewer is interesting but I would love to see a classic gun film feature added as well.
Other stuff Im sure I havent thought much about. Maybe 1.10 will have more sim content.
Perhaps HTC can add new vehicles without having to wait months
between revisions. These past few months in AH have been teetering on subscription canceling boredom.

Aye, I'm joining you in that boat Sailor. If it wasn't for the Tour of Duty, or my squaddies, I'd be gone. GV's would certainly spice things up OR BETTER YET, NEW MA Terrain. Of course, the CT keeps "the dream alive" for me as well..so no cancelation just yet.

"Considering the changes and additions 1.09 took too long. "
Although this was Yeager's comment, he wasn't the only one suggesting this in the thread so I'm not responding to him specifically.
Remember, HTC has been working on a lot more than just 1.09. Plus, some of the features which are in 1.09, while not massive gameplay changes, probably required quite a lot of work to program and debug (AH voice and AH film). I think you AH guys are just getting spoiled :)

:) right back at ya squaddie. ;) Heheheheh. :D
ROTFLOL LOL HEHE, a hmmm......

Hmm...spoiled? Yeah, we're spoiled:) But the fact is I dont recall anyone ever asking for a squeaking betty wav or blinking clipboard or even a voice version considering that was being handled by 3rd party apps reasonably well for the people who wanted it. Don't get me wrong, I love the new voice thing as long as the connect stuff is cleaned up but it sure doesn't alleviate any of my boredom with the game. I still fly it because I like the game but it hasn't really changed much since cv's came out. Film viewer's nice but that doesn't necessarily make the game any more fun to play. I'd rather have some of the features I mentioned above to perk up game play than the ability to send avi's to my friends, most of whom wouldn't really be very interested anyway or they'd be playin'.
Someone posted about htc workin on other stuff. What other stuff? Will many of us have to become totoally bored and cancel before the "other stuff" arrives?
CT's a flop because there's no organization as is indicated by the oversubscribed scenario. It obviously aint due to the historical terrain and matchups that have been in the ct for awhile. I think htc needs to spend some time in creating organized play, quite clearly the ct team cant seem to make it happen. Without htc involvement it seems that there wont be much available except the ma style of free for all that many of us are totally bored with. All the squeakin' betty wavs in the world aint gonna fix that.

Soo... it's a great release because the new features that can't be turned off can be ignored? Ah Voice? Why? RW works fine and It is not intrusive and.... I only talk to people I want to and only hear people I want to and nothing pops up on the monitor. New planes? spare me the.... "I use em all the time and have 109 kill sorties regularly.." crap... we all know that when the next plane stats come out the early war planes will be shown to not be able to hold their own in a mid/late war centric arena.
And what is with that deal where some morons name appears in red in the top right corner of my monitor. That has got to be the most distracting thing short of my norton anti virus kicking in. Does anyone think THAT is a good idea?
The early war planes will indeed be a welcome addition when they have an area to fly in with parity. Sadly... that is the CT and scenarios for now.

"And what is with that deal where some morons name appears in red in the top right corner of my monitor."
At least we know which moron to tell to quit keying the friggen mic. Hi LLB.

lasz2
personally i never see the red name in the top corner of the monitor unless i look for it...
its not a distraction for me at least (1024 x 768)
I spend more time in Hurricanes than any other plane, including 1.086 and 1.09
SKurj
-
Whaaa?? Something red in the corner of your eye/monitor is not distracting???
I'll tell you what is not distracting... Fire up RW before you get on and as your squaddies get on give em the number. No friggin way to improve on that but there sure are a lot of ways to ruin it... Seems HTC hit every way possible short of sending you back to the desktop to reply.
Making things more confusing is not making em better. AH Voice is like a double action conversion on a 1911A... "a complex solution to a nonexistant problem." (jeff Cooper)
lazs

Seriously Lasz I don't see the name unless I look for it...
Try a higher resolution perhaps, cuz on my 17" at 1024 x 768 it bothers me not +)

Lazs, RW sucks. It doesn't work right half the time, often gets "crashed" on by people you don't even know, and installs freaking spyware on your computer.
AH voice is a HUGE improvement.

I like 1.09!
The AH voice is easy to use, I like the name of the transmitter, and the range. The 110 finally balances the axis side. I love the 110 it got a glass jaw but packs a punch ( both versions). I'll be flying the 110, Ki-84,110,and the A-26 were the only 3 rides i flew in AW, Now I at least have one ride in AH.
the air raid sirens...COOL!
the flashing bases.....COOL!
the sweet siren voice of the base warnings.....COOL!
Film editor....COOL!
Me not using capitals and poor punctuation and spelling....COOL!
Beware my 110 O'Death, Once i get reaquanted with my ride, I'll spread mass destruction and be feared by many!
I'd give HTC crew an A+ for this release.
WAIT! make that an A-, I still didn't get the Ki-84!
NUTTZ
-
Excellent release! Well, for what Im looking for, which is just a slight change, plus the early was plane set. With the excellent CM's and scenario people we have, I feel a great BOB event upcomming! Hope it dosen't happen when I'm in Austraila! :(
Dont have to mess with comms anymore, they are already there. I like to see which squadmember are on the channel, and the red name lets me know who is talking, which is helpful. The film editor is a hoot!!!
One of the best releases yet, IMO!!
WTG HTC!!

I like everything about 1.09. I like the new planes, I like the film editor, I love the voice comms. AH voice blows away rw. It has far superior clarity on my computer at least, and I like the range feature. I dont like the way the server keeps crashing however, especially during the scenario. That had to be the most frustrating ever. I have faith in HTC to fix it though. They are the best.
-
I like AH voice. Hasn't been "chatty' at all the times I've been on. I'm not overly excited about the new planes. The spit1 and Hurri1 are useless in the MA. Don't fly LW or bombers. I turned off the warning siren but left the "Tokyo Rose" on. Somethin' about that voice.

New planes help, wonder if I mentioned that yet?
Actually, I wasn't even referring to any of that. We've new terrains coming, some theaters that you haven't seen in this game yet. You know, something fresh. Dispelling "Don't worry, the CT will always be vacant". Get it?
-
Don't get all huffy and cancel a event or something.
(Geez, as soon as HTC gives a player a freeby employee role they get all bent out of shape.)
Wondering if I get some super new CT map plan, that will 'wow' us all and increase players there is a waste of your time.
I simply don't care much past noting there is no one there on my way to the MA.
-
You said the CT is always abandoned, It's not. There are times when it still goes empty, yeah, but then there are times when we have a fair sized crowd. You were wrong saying it's always abandoned. Or am I not supposed to call you on that ?
I simply don't care much past noting there is no one there on my way to the MA.
Like when the wife says she doesn't care about something then just can't quit running her pie hole about it?
;)
And all I do is set up the arena, so insinuating that I got the "big head" because of that is a bit of a reach wouldn't you think?
-
Whooopppps! Almost forgot to add, the upgrade to the Spit IX is great!!!!!! 6 view is alot better!!
:)
-
Still don't get it... Our squad uses the "old" version of RW and it seems to work just fine. Most of you guys getting all gushy about AH voice are the guys who would have come unglued if some moron had horned in on your private conversation before but now.... It is perfectly allright to hear some dipshit chatting away on your channel? What a refreshing change in attitude!
Possibly I am doing it wrong. I can't seem to select a squad only option. I certainly don't want anyone else horning in on the conversation. I certainly don't want a red voice thing in the corner when I am looking for red things to fight. I don't need a red thing in the corner to tell who I'm talking to... I recognize their voice. If I don't recognize their voice I don't need to talk to em.
I certainly don't need Tokyo Rose in my ear all night and I can't imagine how having the bases flash like Xmas tree lights gone berserk is ever going to be something I am grateful for.
Soo.... We have new early war planes. Great, but premature. in the MA at least. Need a place in the MA to fly em. Don't bother to tell me how well they do cause your full of it. I am mediocre and if I meet you flyin one you will be dead. The plane vs plane stats in the next few tours will bear me out.
Film editor might be great... I will probly use it a limited amount over time.
The new strat... Don't really care. Hope it doesn't affect me too much. If it has any affect other than making fights easier to get into then... I hate it.
lazs
-
Actually laz the yellow name in the corner is not who you are talkin to, you actually talk to everyone on the channel when you transmit. The yellow name is who is doing the talking at the time on that channel. I hope that helps ya out. :)
I dont believe HTC intended the base attack voice to be that of Tokyo Rose. Tokyo Rose, I believe, was an American educated Japanese woman who performed propaganda radio messages to Allied troops in the Pacific during WWII. Toyko Rose did have a Asian accent also and this voice does not. I believe it is a voice to warn players that a base in under attack, with no deceptions intended. Toyko Rose would of tried to conduct confusing tactics to the Allies. If anyone else can help sheading alittle more light on the origin of, and the purpose of Toyko Rose, please your comments would be welcome. I hope that helps ya out on the Toyko Rose thing Laz.
Enjoy!!

Nice new planes tho... To bad there is no way to use em in a late war centric MA. Was kinda hoping for a way to make em useful in the MA. Oh well... Maybe the CT guys won't screw up a BOB thing toooooo bad.
lazs
I like the new planes and the warning sirens. The rest... is mostly annoying... except for the strat which I haven't seen work yet because I've been too busy trying to figure out why AHVoice is farging up my sound.
I was less frustrated with 1.08.
-
Gotta admit, the CT has like 30+ players in it all a sudden. That's cool. And the MA is just as outragous, 400+! Goodness!
However, explaining my posts of trends pre 1.09 and refering to wives "running pie holes" is WAAAYYY outta reality.
My wife would ask about something ONCE, but after that, it's a mute point. Like as in forever, and that's a fact. They don't train them Bama girl's like in the P.I. do they? Nope, so don't group me in on the bad domestic's Americans endure. I was smarter than that for sure.
Still, whether 1.09 wears off, good to see numbers everywhere. Although that reset asswhipping we BiShits just took was a mess! I was vulched so much, and ran outta fuel more than in 2 years.
Fun though.
-
Oh, and I like the new planes too Sandman, to ventalate with me Dora.
The blinking stuff, it's ok, I don't get it. And voice, dunno. Seems OK?
1.09 is like 1.08 with a few 110's to ravage, blinking map stuff, and that's it. Worth the wait? Of course. To differ is to be a outcast. And Im bucking for the free employee gig, so shhhhh.
Map still just blows away the competition.

I'm really surprised for the contents of this so long awaited update. What I like of it? 110G2 and blinking bases.

WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US????'
'well the streets are safe to walk at night!'
'F*&k off!!!'
:D
seriously people GIVE IT SOME TIME. no one likes features until they find them usefull and/or get used to them.A perfect example of this is when you buy a flight sim and the veiw system doesnt work as well at AH's.You immediately find it frustrating and makes you dislike the game(il2) BUT in time it becomes familiar and you grow to like it.
My intitial take on the base warning and sirens is that they are excellent and really more realistic than having milkrunners taking bases without anyone seeing a thing! I for one am glad it scuppers the milkrunners.
The base flashing as far as i have seen gives the 'fast fight' guys a chance to find a fight very quickly, but who do we see moaning about it?.
if you want the warnings to stop then you have to attack the CORRECT targets.Didnt HTC say that the warnings will be possible to stop by attacking the radio shack? I thought i read that somewhere.If it means waiting until the new 512x512 map to see this then im fine with it.So far it has hardly affcted the way I play AH at all.
As for the voice, again Im willing to give it LONGER than a few days before i start whining at HTC who are obviously trying to add features for their customers to ENJOY!. jesus christ give it a few weeks at least.
I intend to test it out before i make a decision. If we jump down HTCs throat for trying out new features and threaten to quit for EVERY new introduction they will become just like the big software companies. They wont take the risk on the additions and the game will stagnate for their long term customers. It will be superceeded by other online sims that start up and who have nothing to lose by trying new ideas.
I for one tip my hat to HTC for what they try to give us.I may not like some features but at least im willing to see if they work first.

well hazed.. I don't know who asked for blinking bases or who asked to forced to fight the "correct" bases but it wasn't me. I don't like haveing every rest stop and Howard Johnsons named on the map either. And, contrary to your theory... I haven't gotten used to it yet. It is just a big confusing mess. No... What I want is the bases named and good dar. I can figure ut what kind of fight or tell my squaddies where I am from that.
And the voice thing... It also cuts all sound when some lameo is spouting off. I certainly didn't ask for that. Cracks me up. I think the whole AH voice thing got started because some of the lamer players whined to HTC that "nobody would play with them". I don't need to have people be forced to talk to me. I don't see why we can't simply turn the whole thing off.
and swagger... "our" Tokyo rose is plenty confusing (and annoying). The comaparrison is legit.. I renamed the file.

Man, I need to trade in being the guy who's trying to build something up for being the guy who's trying to tear it down. Being the blabbering drunk was always so much easier. Having no accountability has it's advantages, huh creamo?
koo! koo!
:)
BTW, I really miss flying with my squaddies in the MA and flying against the FDB's. Being penned up in the CT all the time with 25 other people isn't always fun, but I volunteered to help with the setup of the CT, so I fly there 95% of the time. We've been trying to get new terrains for it, getting the perks right, etc. You don't know what all is involved. That's why it can get under my skin when somebody just slams it for no good reason. Especially somebody like you, who has done nothing at all that I can remember to contribute to anything here, other than boozonics humor, which I admit is pretty funny at times. But who couldn't do that with little effort?
You can have the last word....

Laz2 goto setup/voice
Move the effect volume slider to the right.
Move the Play volume all the way to the left.
This will allow you to play in your own quite little world
with out your other sounds being effected.

er read what i said. give it some time. you have been playing it for what ? 5 days? and as you so often spouted before you only get 1 or 2 hours to fly in a day so you want to get to the fight quickly.
lets see if you can do your math laz? ah ill do it for you 10 hours maximum. and i doubt youve even flown that much?
No... What I want is the bases named and good dar. I can figure ut what kind of fight or tell my squaddies where I am from that.
so whats stopping you and your introverted social misfits who crave isolation naming them yourself and turning the sound down on voice?
hmm i suppose its doubtfull you'll want to use your brain for this.

laz its a sound file!! change it, rename it, its gone!!
are you now claiming HTC put the voice to mimic tokyo rose in order to insult people or something???if youre not then why even mention it? My guess it was a bit of fun in the HTC office and they got a friend to say it for them.
People like you make me not want to be involved with the BB or the 'community' and here you are claiming evryone else is annoying you! its laughable.

HiTech, any chance of getting separate volume sliders for the room and range channel? (or is that already the case.) I think Lazs is saying he wouldn't mind talking to his squaddies, he just doesn't want to hear all the other Rook players flying around him as well.
Lazs, if the room and range channel volumes could ever be separated, you could get squad only AHVoice comms by typing .radio 5 4 in the buffer or typing 4 into the V box directly. That should allow you to communicate with squaddies only on the room channel, and guarantee only squaddies could talk to you over it. Right now, you're still stuck with the range channel though. In any event, just do as HiTech says and kill the volume. Fire up RW and use it as an external application after unmapping any keys for AHVoice transmits. It works fine. HiTech asked us not to use AHV for the scenario on Saturday, so I hosted a RW session (using the older non-spyware version mind you) and all my scenario squaddies were able to connect and converse on it.

I use and like AHVoice.

A 110 shot down my LA-7 last night. I feel this reflects an arena wide flaw in the physics and logic of AH. Please fix this newly introduced problem, in 1.08 I was never shot down by a 110 and I feel this new feature detracts from the game. I certainly didnt ask for a feature where I get shot down.
And it's sure nice to see lazs back doing what he's best at.
-
thank you nifty... that is exactly what I want in regards to AH Voice. This cracks me up... all the knee pad legion is in prime form... Imagine if someone had intruded on their squad channel by accident before 1.09 came out. Now it's cool?

I have always thought the auto 6 call feature was pure dweebery.
Im thinking the range voice feature trumps the auto 6 call.
You can either just rely on typing anf text buffer or you can monitor and use range channel to get and give 6 calls.
KILL THE AUTO 6 CALL. It fakery and dweebish
-
lol lazs.. read man read..
no one cuts in on your squad channel.
range channel sure.. but they can't hear the squad channel if they aren't in your squad!!
and the cut-outs in volume.. read HT's post
and my earlier one..
EFFECTS SLIDER

don't know about that but I am tuned to "squad" and I hear other people in the "room". We (squaddies and I) tried the "squelch room" command and it worked for a little while but then we got people horning in.
I don't want to hear anyone on the radio that I didn't ask for. In this case... no one but squadmates. I would still like to give others (and recieve) six calls using the "check six" function as I believe that robbing the cowardly B&Zers of kills is a step towards making the world a better place.

that's the range-thing coming into play.
I agree that I'd like the option to turn off, or down, that portion of AHV.

My Lazs....you lookin to ruin my fun or something?
BTW Lazs....I thought of joinin whatever country you fly for just so I could harrass ya on the radio....might still give that one a try:)
Cyas Up!

Beware the evil lazs-a-tron for he will steal your fun in pursuit of his dasterdly view of the wurld.
You see lazs, if the doped up 6call were removed you would be obliged to actually LISTEN to people in range and might even be obliged to say "thank you" for calling your 6 the MANLY way (ie up close and personal).
Get with the program man, cheer up.
-
you gotta be kidding yeager! listen to all that effeminte drivel from all those idiots on the off chance that one of em will have something worthwhile to say??? And you want me to give up the check six feature for that???? Are you daft or just lonely?
heck rude... come join rooks at least then I might see you once in a while. Certainly I will see you more than now when you are "hunting" me.
