I know it isn't so important, but I would like to know if I cut someone's radio wire will he lose it? It would be cool in online when you tell: ,,He's firi..." and stop because of wire cut.

Wow... I bet that'll never happen, but it's a great idea! Especially if the game had voice comms built in (instead of using outside ventrillo or teamspeak servers).

You'd be talking with your buddies and one of em would get shot up and go silent... You'd fly up next to him and he'd waggle his wings to let you know he's ok.

I don't know but I think this is very possible with the DM in game, I like the idea...maybe he will comment on this

But then to counter it, someone will just use TS anyway, unless SoW blocks use of these programs!

I wanted to ask if there will be effect of cutting off enemy propeller after ### ###### lucky shot, but I know it's impossible to have this due to death from being too excited

We'll just have to ask Oleg to include a Radio_OK() parameter in Devicelink and then get the makers of TeamSpeak to patch their program to disable the com's system if it's false!

Only a low dog would use an older version that didn't disable your wireless! That would be like using Team speak in ROF!

We don't plan to block any of external programs. But there always may present possible conflict with drivers when two programs using it simultaniosly.

probably when radio station is damaged it may happens, but not when wire... We are on the way to modle many things...

However I may say that with radio chatter the quality depends of the distance between the planes or plane and ground control. Same should be for the game internal voice online channels (at least programmer told me he did it by my request...)

Wow!

This would be really cool!

I always felt like: "Hey, give them some time, the longer it takes, the better it will be." Considering your goals, it's really just a matter of time, it seems, and I'm really looking forward, not only to the initial release, but also what things you will add after that, when you and your team have the time and the reassurance, that SoW will be rocking the simulation genre.
