Gary Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 All, Could someone give me a quick heads up regarding the communication menu options and general in game comms please? I dont have FC2 yet (tomorrow hopefully when I get back from work) but I do use BS a lot. The comms piece is crucial to my immersion (vanilla F4 was very good - if buggy - in this department IMHO) Is it basically same as BS or has it evloved at all? I have seen a few vids (with realistic sounding pilot and wingman comms) but wondered if these were edits or from in game? Any information anyone can post would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have access to the BS manuals from the DCS website - is this because I have purchased BS from here or are they generally available to anyone with a log in to the site? Asking cause id love to get a copy of the FC2 manual ahead of actual purchase if possible? Obviously if purchase is needed to get the manual then I will have to wait (im not after something for nothing - Im fully committed to supporting the producers financially) Kind Regards, Gary I5 - 1TB SSHD, 256 SSD - Nvidia 1070 - 16gb ram - CV1
Gary Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Anyone??? I know your all busy flying but surely someones on a break! Regards, Gary I5 - 1TB SSHD, 256 SSD - Nvidia 1070 - 16gb ram - CV1
Toast Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Sorry no one has replied, I don't have FC2 so I can't comment, but I am interested in the answer. Toast Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. and When All Else Fails, Aviate More :pilotfly:
Bucic Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The answer will most probably be RTFM :P A hint - try hitting the / or \ key. All the rest is in the mentioned FM.

Duality Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I don't have BS, so I can't comment on whether or not the comms in FC2 are similar. I can say that the communication you see in the videos (at least in all the ones I have seen) is not an edit and is from in game. During the mission you will hear other flights entering / leaving the target area, conversations with forward air controllers, etc.
Mugenjin Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The answer will most probably be RTFM :P A hint - try hitting the / or \ key. All the rest is in the mentioned FM. Did you even read the opening post? I dont have FC2 yet Anyway I got FC 2.0 and the manual doesn't show up on the official site for d/l. Guess you'll just have to wait. Manual didn't really change anyhow.
Bucic Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 The manual is available for download from lockon.co.uk -> Downloads -> Docs but you have to be registered. I don't know if it's the same name and pswrd from this forum. Check your PM. Edit: Wrong recipient.... Gary and Toast then - check your PM :) F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Mugenjin Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 you only get the old 1.1 manual under lockon.co.uk -> Downloads -> Docs I'm positive he wants the new 2.0 one (which didn't really change, but whatever) :P

Gary Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 Gents, Really appreciate your replies and help so thanks. I do realise that asking if the FC2 manual is available is a sticky subject what with software pirating etc but seeing how the BS manuals are available for download by anyone, thought it might be available as they are. Thanks again for the replies...I do appreciate people taking time out to help others. Kind Regards, Gary I5 - 1TB SSHD, 256 SSD - Nvidia 1070 - 16gb ram - CV1

Lava Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 If you bought the game, you can find the documents and key reference cards in your install directory: LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2/Doc
Avimimus Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Just buy it! (and fill in those of us waiting for the boxed copy with your observations...)
slug88 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 You can legally download and install the game without buying it. I don't know if that's a solution for you, but it will give you the manuals. FYI, buying the game simply gives you a serial # which you can enter to unlock the game's full functionality. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

walker450 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I just installed FC2 last night and then flew for about an hour... From what I seen, the commands are about the same as BS. You can give your wingman commands, talk to the tower, etc. If you are interested in setting up voice activated commands, see this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49421&highlight=voice+activated+commands I am using the VAC software and it works VERY well. :) Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
