Variable 322 Posted June 23, 2014 Sadly this is a technical limitation of Teamspeak, in that local sounds on the radio from that position would have to come across Teamspeaks voice stream from that person, which would be going to everyone, including the people around them that wouldn't be hearing them on the radio, so they'd hear gunfire noises and stuff coming from the mouth of the person talking on the radio. It'd just be confusing. I understand, too bad... Anyway I'm glad you explored that option as it could have been plain awesome. Another question if I may - would you create an acoustic radio for divers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noubernou 77 Posted June 23, 2014 Another question if I may - would you create an acoustic radio for divers? I'd need a real world radio to work off of. If someone wants to make an addon to ACRE2 though with a fictional underwater radio then they are more than allowed to. :) Making radios for ACRE2 is "easy" compared to ACRE1.

enforcer4100 10 Posted June 23, 2014 He needs to have a radio to make all functions realistic. Realistic range, attachments, correct GUI, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanguinius51 11 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Will we be seeing any 'ancient' radios like the AN/PRC77 set, or are you more focusing on the more modern radios? On another point, after looking at some information on the AN/PRC 148, I noticed the immersion depth is a max of 20 meters. Will this be implemented? It would definitely add a sense of difficulty in planning missions - you won't simply be able to dive to the bottom of the ocean floor and sneak through anymore, you will have to maintain a depth that of above 20 meters, meaning you may have to change routes in order to increase your stealthiness. A water-damaged variant may have patchy operability, or not even be operable at all. Edited June 24, 2014 by Sanguinius51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noubernou 77 Posted June 24, 2014 I'll probably do the 77 since it was a very common radio in the 1970s and 80s even through the mid 90s. I just need a good GUI for it. It was one of the radios I had hoped to experiment with doing a full 3D interface, but there are still some Arma 3 engine limitations preventing me from doing that.

GieNkoV 30 Posted June 24, 2014 Will ACRE 2 have new beep sound when pressing radio button or is it the same from ACRE 1? If its the same then is it possible to change it? Or do different radios have different beep sound (that would be awesome btw) ? For me in ACRE 1 that beep sound was little to long. I like beeps from TFAR, they feel very vanilla for me.

noubernou 77 Posted June 24, 2014 Trying to sort out the correct beep sounds, but at release they very well might be the default ACRE1 ones though. That being said, all sounds are able to be modded and they loaded as traditional Arma 3 assets in PBOs and defined in configs so anyone can make a sound replacement mod. The sounds just need to be the right format and converted using an included tool in the release. They are automatically loaded into Teamspeak at game start. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Variable 322 Posted June 26, 2014 The 77 is highly reliable yet clumsy and heavy piece of crap. They had that long antenna that was a pain, too. There was once a soldier that got electrocuted when it hit a high power line. I also hated how they always topple when tied to a carrier because of a weird center of mass. I think they are used in the IDF since the 60's god damn it. You had to assign one of your best soldiers to carry it and act as the CO's radioman, because it was not an easy task to carry this weight and keep up with the CO at the same time.

p1nga 23 Posted June 26, 2014 I used to ask to carry my sections 77 set every time we went on exercise/patrol when I was a Army Cadet......that might be just because I was young and wanted to play army, but I liked the extra challange. If you asked me today to do the same, forget it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanguinius51 11 Posted June 27, 2014 Ha, army cadet memories of Heartbreak hill with the 77 set still make me cringe. That being said, however, for really old pieces of hardware, they still work great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketim 20 Posted June 27, 2014 This might been something in ACRE, but I wouldn't know since I only used it in a very limited capacity, but is it/or could it/will it (you get the idea) be possible to take off a radio backpack, and use it as a stationary set. I assume somthing like this would be easier in ArmA 3 now that we have a actual in engine backpack system, without using something like ACE. Then again, everyone always complains of lots of missing eventhandlers and such. I hope this would be possible, it would also be cool for sniping or a recon position, since what I usually do is take off my backpack and lay it next to me so I am not more visible, then I can get ammo or supplies from it and if I have to run in an emergency,I am not bogged down by the weight of the backpack. So the same logic would apply, you could call in some sniper targets on a radio backpack lying next to you or something. I dunno, seems like a good idea to me.

From what I have seen Nou looks to have the receiving on none equipped radio down pat, could it be made so you can link to a radio on floor and have it act like an equipt radio? Transmitting on none equipt radio does seem to be the hard part though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
