PiratexCore Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure how new these are as I haven't really paid close attention to callsigns in the ME(I'm lazy I just plop planes down), but I assume Schilling is referring to these: F-16C has Viper, Venom, Cowboy, Lobo, Python, Panther, Rattler, Wolf, Weasel, Wild, Ninja, and Jedi. F/A-18C has Hornet, Squid, Ragin, Roman, Sting, Jury, Joker, Ram, Hawk, Devil, Check, and Snake.

Subtle but important addition for us mission builders. That lack of variation was driving me nuts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but pity that they are only for the F-16 and F-18, that's why I hadn't noticed it ... the F-5E, JF-17, etc .. still have the same old callsigns 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schurem Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hog got some new ones too. It seems they are sprinkled about somewhat haphazardly. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I don't mind the idea of giving singular modules extra callsigns. The A-10 has had its exclusive set for ages now as well. One little advantage is that just by hearing the callsign you got a rough idea of what type that flight might be. In any case, I welcome the variety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 DCS does need a voice overhaul, and ideally, a way to implement custom voice sets. That way, campaign creators could have their VAs for the main characters also do a voice set, so that scripted dialogue matches built-in calls. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiacc Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Actually it doesnt matter when we have no verbal pronunciation.Its even worse because Pilot/ATC just skip the callsign and continues his/her radio call.Same thing for syria airports.

Shrike88 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Well its been almost half of a year and they are still not voiced nor any audio to support these new callsigns. Figures. Think this would be low hanging fruit Edited May 23, 2022 by Shrike88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's not. It'd require a new audio pass, and I imagine that would require bringing back the original actors, who may or may not be available. Unless the devs provided the VA, of course, in which case they might no longer be happy with the quality. There's a comms overhaul coming, and I suspect we'll get everything revoiced to SC comms standard then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Looks a bit to me like ED is trying to establish a whole lot of new call signs (Hornet got theirs, Apache got a bunch, Viper probably too?) so when they actually go back to the recording studio they won't find they have to redo it yet again a month later. Don't think the 'original voice actors' are necessarily needed - seeing how the whole ATC is supposed to get a big update anyway one might just as well start all over. Not saying they couldn't be there, just saying that if one of them is not available that probably isn't a huge problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseSeal Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 53 minutes ago, Kang said: Don't think the 'original voice actors' are necessarily needed I can't imagine it's a factor at all. If the whole thing is getting an overhaul (and given then timescale of the project, it seems likely), then you've got to imagine very little, if any, of the original voice recordings will make the cut. I'd rather they re-record it all in a more accurate and natural way, and with a variety of voices. Naturally, Wags should also be one of the primary voice actors! Maybe Wags could even do a variety of accents? Scottish Wags. French Wags. German Wags.

Dragon1-1 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) That was exactly my point. They haven't done it, because they're overhauling the whole system, and it's not worth bringing in the original VA team to do the few extra bits like new callsigns or airbases on the new maps. They'll redo all of it sooner or later. Edited May 25, 2022 by Dragon1-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At ED they miss the forest for the trees. This is common on everything. Just do things right the first time. Or allow the community to have a better setup with the mod community like Bohemias approach. No idea why they encrypted the sound files. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They encrypted the sound files because people were adding different sounds that gave a competitive advantage in multi-player. You can still replace them and do as you wish... just not in MP :). As far as why the other was short sighted... Well it's simply because you have no idea what kind of fruit it is or where it's hanging. You say it should be low hanging fruit but then just a few posts later someone explained why it likely is not. No... I'm not new here ;).
