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.

Hehe... Would like too see some guys complaining, some planes has no "trasmitters". Ex.: Japanese and Russian fighters. It ll be a bad experience fly without radios or with interference.

This can afford new strategies, like to bomb radio stations to break enemy coms. hehe... Would be amazing!

OK, this has been asked before by someone else and it was answered but, quite honestly, I didn't understand the answer that was given.

I'm wondering what's with the floating antenna shadows? They are disconnected and makes it look like the antenna mount is floating

Also the dotted shadow of the antenna wire itself, is this part of how the engine displays shadows for wires? does it have something to do with the fact it is a still image, or is it just WIP?

If I missed something can someone please explain it to me.

But once players are using TS or Ventrilo this not helps a lot. i dont known if is possible but it would be helpfull if game blocks another chat programs when server owner chooses to do so.

An option to unblock or block is highly desirable! Is it possible?

p.s.: im commenting cause Olegs said that radio quality ll depend distances between planes and radio towers.

Blocking team comms will not go over well.

I dare say it would cause many to skip the purchase.

Much of the fun of online play is being on comms with your mates and enjoying each other's company and banter.

Taking it away is not in the best interest of sales.

Be sure.

El Aurens, but once again, options.

But for BoB, at least, I won't bother. All British and German planes we'll be able to fly have radio, anyway...

I understand. However i said comms must be allowed using internal game radio and only with server desire.

TS and ventrilo can be used if server decides yes. Im only thinking about players who wishes a more hardcore gaming, i understand that there is players who would like to fly this way.

And the game could satisfy casual, medium, realistic and extreme realistic players (grognards)! Some players lock his belts, use aviator glasses, gloves and etc...
