I would like to see the test buffer go across the whole width of the screen. And maybe a second tunable VOX.

Text buffer obscures too much of the screen as it is. :rolleyes: I'd rather have the text as the same resolution as the rest of the screen.

Put my vote in for a second tunable vox, tho.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'd love the text buffer to be smaller on high rex screens.

It's massive on a 22" monitor.

Add an option to decrease the text size.

Making it wider would be a good idea too, less scrolling....

maybe make the buffer adjustable on the x an y axis? you could shorten/lengthen it and stretch it?

100% on the 2nd VOX. Very helpful when running seperate flights on missions. That and setting different take-off fields on missions would make them much more effective!:aok

i would like to see something where you can hide the text buffer like the clipboard. Be able to push a command and it would come up.

It consumes enough space as is.

:aok

I'm guessing the text buffer size is so small so that you can read everything said even at 640x480 but...is there anyone even playing at that resolution anymore?  Surely we could at least bump it up to a 800x600 friendly size.

2nd vox would rock, and so would the ability to mute range vox.

I turn the transparency on the text buffer all the way down so I can see my controls.

I'm 50/50 on the longer text buffer, and 100& agree for a 2nd vox.
