Pilot909 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I'm curious, has anyone made a recommendation to the devs regarding creating an In-game radio communications environment? Instead of having to use TS or a TS based system like SimpleRadio, It would be cool to have a closed server-based system embedded in DCS itself with no 3rd party software required, to allow smooth and realistic aircraft communications between players on the same frequency and perhaps set the foundation for something bigger. In the future once the foundation is set it would be cool to begin integrating the player to AI voice communications system, like perhaps communicating with AI wingmen, AI JTAC's/Ground Elements or Airports/Fields by just saying whats in the drop down menu. Of course the priority at first would be placed on player based comms as you wouldn't need to develop any speech recognition software for that. I think having a legitimate and fully functional communication's system in the game is what will finally create that shroud of immersion around the player. It would be cool to one day talk to your player wingman, then order your AI wingman to rejoin before requesting tasking by the AI JTAC, all by using in game radio without ever having to hit the F1-F12 keys and instead using your radios and HOTAS. Having a more in depth ATC system would complement the system. With ground and air frequencies and legitimate taxii instructions and whatnot. Of course this feature could be enabled/disabled by different servers depending on the host and it would encourage more players to learn radios and the radio communications procedures, not to mention the positive impact on maintaining a positive, professional community in-game. and yes I would agree with keeping text based game chat in game, at the server host's discretion. I understand I'm asking for alot but I really do think it would drastically improve the simulation environment!

cichlidfan Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 FYI, there are many threads about this. Personally, I don't see it ever happening because there are already good external solutions and it would be a lot of work for a feature that is only of value to the small MP community.

HiJack Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 First give us working radios in all aircrafts. Should be possible to license for ED to all aircrafts, even the Russian birds.

Do you go on TS3 often? Idk where you go, but I find a lot of people on TS. For the MP community, it would be better to use SRS over TS3 and Discord though, for sake of realism. Talking to someone at Anapa from Soganlug while on the ramp without problems... is just obsurd.

HiJack Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 If ED looks at what Ciribob have done they will discover that implementing a voice based radio feature actually is OpenSource software and will cost them almost nothing to implement. Why they don't use this and create their own system is strange. I'm pretty sure Ciribob will give away all his knowledge about the OpenSource to ED.
