Kee rap, I am in a squad because I want to hear and fly with my AK buddies not listen to banter on a general channel.
This kee rap of listening to other pilots is annoying. :(
Give us the option to turn that voice kee rap off, and use Roger Wilco PLEASE!!

there is always that head to head option and then all the annoying lil people are not in your way.
-
Just boot RW externally and use an unmapped key for transmit. Somebody will have to host and tell everybody what the IP is.

I love the banter of range channel ahvoice.
I find it extremely enhances the realism of the game :)
-
Hooligan, thanks.
But RW now says that some game is using the voice channel. Wonder who that could be???
They still haven't fixed the problem of having to use your right gas tank first or both get drained. Seems to me 1.08 bugs should be addressed before we add a bunch of new ones.
Oh, well, someday there will be a decent WWI sim, I'll move there, and then there will be a whole bunch of new bugs to work out. :(

We're havin fun following Dlamb's orders on vox ;)

I turn all the AHVoice sliders down and then eat the framerate hit while using a Roger Wilco base station being hosted by one of my squaddies who doesn't actually fly anymore but still finds reason to use RW for first person shooters.
-
I like the voice. I listen mostly, but wish it was as clear as RW.
Sometimes it's almost clean, most times it sounds like a synth-robot. Is that bandwidth related?
Fatty sounds like himself sober talking through a fan like Chris Farley in "Tommy Boy", and if he got wasted like he does time to time, it couldn't possibly project the humiliating slurs I've become accustomed too.
A shame actually.
You think AHVoice will improve through coding, or is the robot voice the norm?
-
I like the AH voice, I think it is a great improvement over RW. Being able to see who is talking is great and it has been very stable for me.
We are part of a social experiment, I don't think many other games have this 'area chat' feature yet. So far it seems to be working out good, especially for team work and helping newbies who have questions.
However, sometimes I don't want to listen to the open channel messages but I still want to use the voice with my squad. In this case it would be nice to be able to easily squelch the area voice channel alone.

What bug is this? Haven't seen this one.
Or are you looking at the auto fuel tank switching and thinking it's a bug? The auto switching tries to keep the plane balanced by burning from one side then alternating to the other side. In the pony for example, auto switching burns the Aux tank, then alternates between the left and right wing tanks. Put drop tanks on it and it burns the Ext then Aux, then alternates between left/right wings. (cept I always burn Aux before Ext :D )

All you guys who like AH voice are the same people who's mamma's made the other kids play with em. Get a life.
Also.. the damn thing cuts out myu sound and makes me think I ran out of gas.

I unchecked every box in the Voice panel and moved the top two sliders to the left and the Special Effects one to the right. Works fine except for a possiable small FR hit.
It would be nice if there were two versions of AH. One with AHvoice and one without. That would solve all the problems.

Hmm laz you sound like some one who realy just wants to play with himself?
-
Well... it is possible to play with yourself and fly in the arena at the same time. :D
-
lazs...
it's adjustable. simply slide the 'effects' volume slider to the right in AH Voice..
that way it doesn't sound like your engine quit when someone speaks.
for me AH Voice is very clear.
I just ignore non-squad related messages...
-
Now that I've finally gotten AHV to work :D I rather like the range channel thing. It's a feature not found in any other vox system I know of and is quite useful. How many times in the past have you wanted to say something to a non-squaddie but have been unable to because he wasn't tuned to your vox channel? Now that problem is solved.
Of course, some people are real windbags with the range thing and talk over your squaddies. But give them time. This is a new thing. Once they start trying to coordinate their squads and get stepped on in their turn, they'll realize that the range thing is like ch 2: try not to clutter it up.

I like AHV, but I gotta agree with Lazs. Everytime someone talks on AHV while I'm engaged with a Spit MkI, I ease up on the stick because I think I've pushed a negative G and flooded the engine. ;)
-
Even though some of you may not give a "kee rap" I happen to be someone who's experience with AHvoice is much sunnier compared to RW. With RW I was a CTD'n Disco Dancin' m0f0. I'm sure I'm not part of the minority when I say that 1.09 is my favorite release to date. It's my experience lately that the AHV element adds more to the immersion than any other element of AH.
Keep up the most excelent work HT and friends.

Nifty.. change the settings (see my post above)

Not sure what auto switching is. :(
But when I select the RW tank (or RAux) tank first, the LW (or RAux) doesn't drain. If I select the LW tank the RW tank goes down at the same time, (just as fast as). So I select the RW tank, when it goes dry then the LW tank. Gives me twice as much fuel. :)
That and the kee rap of all of a sudden the views go to pot. You know, the 2 key is now upper left instead of forward, the 3 key is right instead of forward right. Takes forever to get the views back so the hat switch works.
That and the fricken map still has to be called up, dinked around with the mouse to get it where you had it the last time you used it.
And how about all those annoying screens that tells you "so and so wants to join you", or "You can only take 50% fuel" and you have to go find your mouse, and click on it rather than close it with enter????? And how about having to go to the hangar to now load 50% fuel rather than just say OK?
The darn thing needs polishing not another stupid 109 or 190 to please the Luftwhinners. Don't they have enough 109/190 models ??? How's about a YAK 3 or a Spit IIV?? Or hell, just looking at the perk system would be a bonus (pun intended) get some realistic perk pricing, especially on the over priced F4U4, and perk some of the 190s like say 4 perks for a Dora???.
To me, perking should be for the CT match's not for the MA. Hell, boyz n girlz, the MA is just a Arcade shoot'em up. There is NOTHING realistic about the MA so why the perks??? :rolleyes:

AH Vox is a good addition. For those who haven't been using vox comm, it makes a world of difference.
Just a few words on what I've experienced with vox com- we've been using vox comms in the 412th FS. This is a requirement for the squad because it is simply invaluable. RW was used heavily. In the last 3 months we've switched to TeamSpeak and have gotten really used to TS. Our RW experience was similar to other folks- 75-80% stability and some weirdness at times (e.g. people only heard occassionally by all, people not al able to connect to the same host etc.). TS was a very good experience for us and had some good features. Stability was around 80-90% though we did have a squad mate that could never get TS working.
My opinion- AH vox is better (more stable and reliable) vs. RW. AH vox isn't as feature robust as TS.
HTC - Here are some things in my opinion that would be great improvements to AH VOX:
[list=1]
- option to enable or disable ah vox so that you can still use an optional vox comm app.
- addition of broadcast assignments to various "channels"/"rooms" like in TeamSpeak. e.g. - in AH Vox - ability to transmit to say ch 200, 201, 202 at the same time. In TS we had red, blue, green, gold flights designated. Regular transmit key would transmit to a flight. You could set up addtional keys to transmit to any combination of individual users or flights. We had a key set up as "global" and would transmit to all flights.

I am not against AHV per se.
I just don't like it being shoved down our throats as the only option.
Our squad uses RW.
I don't want to listen to other people outside my squad.
Ain't rocket science, just give us the option. :rolleyes:
I'm an AK not an AHer. I joined the AKs about 5 years ago. I am in the AK Hall of Honor (thus the + at the end of my name). I like other players in AH, but they aren't my wingmen, and they aren't who I want to talk with when I'm fighting. I am committed to my AK buddies.
If I wanted online voice chat, I'd go to AOHell or something. I'm not a sensitive-linguini-spined-new-age- eco-nazi who wants to get in touch with his feminine side and talk to Dolphins. I'm a hard prettythang razor toten snake in the grass who wants to talk other AKs so we can kick some serious AH butt! LOL :D

>To me, perking should be for the CT match's not for the MA.
Because then there'd be nothing but solid me-262's from one end to the other.
However, I do think its not set up right. It should be PURELY on % of use and recalulated every sortie programatically not base on anyones perceived estimate of performance . It would seek its own equalibrium based on how much people wanted it versus how much they are willing to pay. This would remove the situations where the poor slow bloated chog is left perked for a year and a MONSTER like the la7 is allowed to run wild because noone has had time to reanalyze the perk values lately.
Also, at first I hated the AHvoice thing. Now I kinda like it. You ought to be able to turn it off tho as choice. Also if on and I squelch some punk on my side, will that squelch his voice too? It better. There are too many Socrates in the world and sometimes there in my country.

Gee.....out of all of the posted replies since the release of 1.09, I count 7 people who do not care for AH Voice.
Uhhh Dale, you had best trash the damn thing before it's too late. Bankruptcy sucks ya know?
-
I like it alot,,,but`ll have to admit Dlamb`s voice is a bit squeaky:) ,,,but he soon will grow hair on it(THEVOICE),and then the fun really starts;)
-
HT... While I admit to enjoying playing with myself every bit as much (maybe even more) than the next guy... I don't enjpoy listening to all them other guys. I would not mind if the squad channel actually was a "squad channel".
Are there plans to make it so that when I tune to "squad" that I only hear (and broadcast) to squad?
And... I guess I can put up with the blinking lights. I can see where during low numbers times it might be helpfull?
Oh, and I really could use a place to fly them neato early war planes if it's not too much trouble in between drawin up trucks and stuff.
