phoenix needs....

[Disc]

Guys,

I know a few of you work with the Phoenix crew so here's what it needs to make it a bit better...

Mulit-player chat currently sucks.

either needs a seprate chat box along the bottom of the screen or a floating chat box you place where you want on the screen. (used to this on the Mac gaming wise). Right now you cannot really chat/fly, it shuts one screen to chat. not very good really. Being able to see the chat history and then land and join in if you want would be better.


audio chat would be best good as well but for now get type chat working better!!

I'll remeber the other thing shortly!

(Apart from make an OSX version..)

It would be great to have 5.1 sound support too (X-Fi style), rather than having to switch back to 2.1 before running Phoenix to hear anything!

You press "C" to chat while flying - the last two or three items show on the screen for a short time before disappearing... I kinda like that?

If you want to stop flying and just chat, you can open the chat history window, review whats gone before, then join in there.

I don't get it?
Cheers,
Rob

Ah thats because your a windows user

I do like the way the chat appears and dis-appears, It is when you need to go into the chat I'd just prefer a better chat box.

If you can watch while people fly or spectate and can then type and watch as well...

I'd rather the time lag and jerkiness was sorted out above voice chat, that will only put more strain on the bandwidth, would be welcome tho.

[DbyMA]

Agreed Fixxer. Especially as there are some very good VoIP applications like Ventrilo and Teamspeak working well out there already.

Ah I did say leave voice chat out until last

hmmm,


















Nope,cant think,its near perfect already

[Bubblefish777]

lol Phoenix needs loads of work in the Multiplayer arena....Single it's fine.....although there are oprions like being able to add the Robbe autopilot would be cool.

Multiplayer though.....eeeek.... should be 16 man at least.....and much bigger field so you could change your point of view and look down the field to see other fliers.... maybe put up a server so this can happen ? Aslo chage the starting aspect of the model and where it starts.....

Apart form that...not too shabby

[Fixxxer]

I think they've done a blinding job so far as it's only been out just over a year, things are never perfect tho and theres always room for improvement however little that may be.

[golddust]

Keeps me amused for hours. And thats a good thing :-)

Turn it to face you, and then land it 'behind' you, so that it's approaching from your left. Or am I missing something?
