Radio messages in multiplayer

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

I wonder, when I hear ally in multiplayer, like "I am bailing out", is he somwhere near my position or is it for all players whole map? Do I have to look around for parashute or not? Or maybe every radio has different working radius?

Good question. 

But my impression is that when anyone is hit in mp on your side the comms start. 

I been on places of the map no one would be in my attempt not getting spotted in my bomber 

still I get those calls.

Would be nice if the messages were prefixed with the player name. Would also be nice if there were an option to mute those annoying beeps I hear every time  a player sends a chat message.

Loft had some pretty strange ideas in his time.

Feathered in a thread about radio commands...how unusual. 

 

?

 

Yeah Loft made a lot of design decisions that we're still suffering and face-palming over since undoing them all is labor and resource intensive.

Most of the more acute ones have been dealt with, but not all.

 

The good thing is that the current Devs are on the same page as we are...they just need time.

Go to Settings/Sounds and uncheck Interface

Working mp radios in this sim would be awesome..  especially when marshalling comes along

but automatic messages from other pilots planes like ‘I’m hit’ or ‘bailing out’ unless it’s an AI, I don’t think is really needed...

What about a hot key for a "I only have 5 minutes, my wife will be home soon" radio command.

Or "hang on, the doorbell just rang"

 

Now that's immersion.
