Actually, I was surprised as well to see an already known and fixed bug from Arma1 show up in Arma2, hopefully it is on their priority list.

I think it would be as it is affecting so many users.

I would like to see more military radio protocol. There were times when I would ask questions and step on someone else transmission. Sorry for that.

As for command and control there can be two or three channels in TS to keep the side band talking to a min.

I did notice that I was not catching the wp calls in game because I have my UI with no maps or icons floating around. I love max realism to the point of crossing danger areas, which we did very well that lojack mission. There was very good over watch and moving to engage by all.

Also breaks in contact were happening a lot at least by me because of my lack of icons. So maybe a standard for future nights?

I will be back but I travel a lot for my consultancy so I will let you all know prior to my being AWOL.

Need to get my .xml file done. : )

We've tried the dual channels in TS, and it never was suitable.

Not sure what you mean on the lack of icons (which icons?). These settings should be pushed server side so all players see the same.

Well i prefer tactical over realism... realism is impossible in a PC game, but using basic military tactics is quite possible in a game... and we tried it in strict hardcore mode, it doesn't work well because you can't see who is in your fireteam or where.

I would also prefer VON to work, our comms and gameplay is suffering without it, IMO...

We could activate it, use it, and deal with an occasional crash... or look into nulti-sub-channels on TS, but don't really want to do that.... makes gaming more difficult then it really needs to be.

Agreed, multiple TS channels complicated things too much for me. I don't want to do that.

The new SimHQ server has been crash and lag free. Zero problems. At this point I'm OK with reenabling VON, if most players are happy to accept the risk that they might crash due to bugs.

feedback? comments?

Don't make me turn this car around and start another POLL!

There is a new patch right around the corner (a new RC beta patch was released yesterday). Since we've already confirmed crashes with VON and 1.03, I think we should wait until 1.04 and try again. If the crashes persist we can gauge how bad they are and go from there.

I would accept a crash one or twice a night to have VON back.

I agree with Fatty

Bring on the VON and ask player to not to use Vehicle Comm.
I think ArmA 1 and 2 has same issue with it

is there a way to disable certain channels so we can only use Group? We can get rid of the others since TS is basically Global/Side, and of course Vehicle and Command we don't hardly ever use. Or is that even possible?

I haven't seen any config option to disable it, but the 'message of the day' on the server could remind players not to use the vehicle one.

Also, I would like to see VON back on the server, just to see how it works if we avoid vehicle channel. I think it is worth a go.
