Ripcord Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 We are seriously lacking in available callsigns for air units. I am quite pleased with the selection we have for JTAC units and AWACS-type call signs. But with all the tactical jets we have, there is really not enough callsigns there. I want to ask DCS to seriously consider adding more (doubling the number). Hopefully we can still get access to the same voice actors that did the first batch. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Ryback Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 +1 An integrated speech engine.Write your callsign it reads.Like this Wags doesn't need to read and record 100+ callsigns. :D 1
TimeKilla Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 +1 this is really needed. :smartass: :joystick: YouTube :pilotfly: TimeKilla on Flight Sims over at YouTube.
Robert1983NL Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Agreed, custom callsigns should be possible, that can be text-to-speeched.
Irregular programming Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Agreed, custom callsigns should be possible, that can be text-to-speeched. No no no no no, please no, this game has bad voice acting as it is, don't bring in some horrible text-to-speech engine into this.
WolfK33 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I thought about the lack of callsigns too, some for the hueys out of the great books like chickenhawk, to the limit etc would be great, like Preacher, Rattler, Firebird, Dust Off, Python, and so on...
Supersheep Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 TTS? Nope. This isn't System Shock. Although it would be a system shock to have a TTS in DCS. Super- The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread
Robert1983NL Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Well, nowadays TTS can be pretty good. At least you should have the option. It would open up a whole new can of great immersion.

Nealius Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Would be nice if they fixed Enfield and Springfield too.....they keep coming back as Hawg and Boar.
Hotarubi Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Temporary way of solving it: (example) Enfield - designate as fighter planes Then add subcategories by following the principle: If you have 4 groups counting 3 fighters each they are Enfield 1, Enfield 2, Enfield 3 and Enfield 4. Now let's take the group 1 - "Enfield 1". There are three planes there, and they are designated as: Enfield 1-1, Enfield 1-2 and Enfield 1-3. Springfield - Designate as in Enfield example. What do you get by that? You get that when on voice comms someone says "Enfield 1-1 to Springfield 2-1 >message<" everyone on the frequency knows that it is a leader of fighter group 1 (that has it's combat assignments briefed to all, so everyone knows what is their zone of operation, as for everyone else) talking to a leader of striker group 2. This is much more easier system to use in tactical engagement of enemy then pushing as much as possible terms into communication. It is absolutely unnecessary to give every group of planes different callsign. Maybe ED is doing it right, but we lack of organizing ourselves and giving attention to tactical aspect of simulation...
