Multiplayer Chat Filter Function Request

[Skyracer]

Hi everyone,

One of the big challenges in multiplayer DCS servers is the chat window often gets flooded with automated system messages—like player connects/disconnects, slot changes, server notifications, and mission event logs. While these notifications serve a purpose, they make it difficult to clearly follow actual player-to-player communication during missions.

It would be very useful if DCS had a chat filter option that allowed players to toggle what type of messages show up in the multiplayer chat window. For example:

• Show only player chat messages (hide join/leave and event logs)

• Show only system messages (hide player chat)

• Show both (current behavior)

This could be implemented as a simple filter button or checkbox in the chat window, giving players more control over what they see. This would make the default text chat far easier to use without missing instructions or conversation drowned out by scroll spam.

Would anyone else find this useful, and is this something ED could consider adding as a QoL feature?
