Tom P Posted Monday at 05:58 AM Posted Monday at 05:58 AM I checked and didn't see this. It would be nice if we could get a option to assign a key bind to review message history instead of pausing to open it. Not 100% necessary but I think it would be nice to have especially for all the single player base and campaigns out there. 3

Personally I work around it by using VoiceAttack along with Taz1004's No Pause Mod, so I can Bring it up and continue to fly without ever touching anything. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Tom P Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago I think he was referring to the in-game chat that multiplayer has. You can open it and scroll through the messages and close it pretty easily. 2

But, seriously? You can't scroll the MP chat? Ain't that pretty 90s? 1

When you open the box to type a message it enables access to a scroll bar IIRC (it is been a while I had to use it). Something more robust for both modes, Multiplayer and Singleplayer would be preferable. It is been a bump on the road to open the messages history while playing singleplayer and it is as well while playing in co-op multiplayer. 1

Or should it be one unified "message history". Personally I think it's better to keep them separately. If scrolling works in MP, why change it? Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1
Czar Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago 49 minutes ago, MAXsenna said: Two different systems?

The multiplayer dedicated one clumps everything together; player messages, kills, players joining server etc. It can get impractical quite quickly in dense missions. 51 minutes ago, MAXsenna said: Personally I think it's better to keep them separately. If scrolling works in MP, why change it? In Single Player however, there is no such message/chat window for quick access. One must press 'escape' to get to 'message history' window, and even that doesn't have any filter to apply for better consulting a certain set of information. Of course, nothing like a good physical notepad and pen in hand like the folks that had flown/flies the real deal irl... or the Phantom canopy for that matter. lol OP mentioned the need to a hotas binding to grab that window up for quick access, and I think it is fair. Maybe something a dual virtual kneeboard can bring in an easy manner (2d and 3d).
niru27 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago @Tom P you can use Open Kneeboard, it shows radio log transcript in one of the tabs, as well as MIZ briefing/slides

I'm just sick of having to rely on outside material when a lot of stuff should be inhouse.
