Clickable cockpit while chat/pool window is opened

[lesnyborsuk]

Hi,

 

I am just wondering- is this going to be changed? I am frequently turning off right engine in A10C because "fire off" handle is just below "Chat" button. In Mustang I am pulling off my canopy (although flying without it is very refreshing, but it destroys my hair :music_whistling:).

 

Is it possible to turn off clickable cockpits while any window is opened?

Thanks!

you can enable/disable Clickable cockpit with key commands.

 

Either by Toggling Mouse Cursor to View Control (Forgot command to do that off hand)

 

or By going ALT+F1 first to remove the cockpit from the screen.

That's so funny that you mention this, that happened to me the other day in the P-51, I thought I heard something odd when I was chatting. Only after I taxied out to the runway did I realize my canopy was missing. It would be nice if they disabled mouse clicking in the cockpit once another window is open in.

LAlt+Z will dissable the mouse click cockpit and enable the mouse view.

I don't want to derail but some part of the chat system has been annoying me to no end. When you enter the chat mode - it 'blinks' and it's active. But when you activate the clickable cockpit/cursor it becomes unactive -> You can't close it without making it active again!

 

Now here is my problem: When you hover over the chat, the cursor has a dark colour and you need to click into the text window to make it active. (and closeable) This killed me more often than I care do admit. :3

 

Is it a 'me' thing or this annoying for you guys too?

 

Sorry if I explained this badly, highly medicated right now... death over europe...! =(

 

Edit: Forgot to say, bind your chat window (TEAM!) to a key you can easily reach and another for chat to all with a modifier. Trying to click/unclick the team/all chat may lead to the above described problem. =)

Toggling Text Chat on and off isnt anymore of a distraction as actually typing a message.

Toggling on and off takes a second and a click, typing a long message, good luck, unless you're orbiting on AutoPilot or Idling on the ground, it's gonna be an Issue, Dont TxT and Drive/Fly.

 

TBH the $5 Generic Headset from Walmart or Equiv. Store + Teamspeak is the best solution.

 

I use teamspeak for voice comms in nearly all of my games, Sims, Shooters, RTS, even MMO's.

 

And if TeamSpeak Isnt availible, I use something else.

 

I think for a while I was using BF3's BattleComms for Voice Comms in MMOs, because I can just open it in my Browser and Minimize, and not have to worry about a server program.

 

I Rarely Use Text Chat in DCS, if ever, and like 98% of the people I play with dont either.

 

The only time I've used Text was to post the link to the teamspeak info actually
