SmukY Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Anyway. I just watched Ralfidude's video of F-14 and of course I can't express such satisfaction I've had while watching video. Until friend told me, what Jester is telling to pilot. And it's actually quite a lot of information. A lot of USEFUL information. This being a ... sort of a little problem for me. I'm deaf. And I love F-14. And I'd be kinda sad, if I wouldn't be able to fully employ it, if I wouldn't be able to get all the information I'd need from my devoted RIO. And I'm sorry for making such a request-ish thread, I know they're not kinda generally positively received (I know how threads such for wishing new planes can develop, and consecutive making a lot of people wishing for everything and more, making such threads soon to be locked by moderators/administrators). But I'll say it. Would you make a little exception and add the subtitles of Jester/Iceman AI's for deaf and hearing impaired people who love F-14 just as me? And I'm sure I'm not only one. Wishing a happy and sucessful New Year to the Heatblur team. Greetings, SmukY Edited January 3, 2019 by SmukY 2 Helicopters don't fly, they just subdue the air.

AeriaGloria Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I’m not deaf but I do have a disability that affects my hearing and also can’t wait for the Tomcat to be added to DCS, I’m on your side SmukY! +1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I am by no means deaf, but totally understand what you are saying and hope, if not already implemented, this is added. Let's face it, many none native speakers would benefit and better understand what Jester is saying (written subtitles help a lot) and still newcomers need to learn brevity calls for real. ;) Edited January 3, 2019 by shagrat Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor77 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Adding my vote as well for all the reasons above - hearing impared players (and as we've seen, there's quite a few out there), won't be able to enjoy it thoroughly and actually won't be able to understand Jester's calls, which will be a bread and butter function of a two-seater in an SP setting. Some non-native speakers will have problems as well, so I think this should really be implemented as an optional choice in the settings - afterall it's not as much work as recording thousands of different verbal expressions. http://dcsskins.wordpress.com/ Your place for custom created DCS World skins.

Cobra847 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Honestly - we'd love to. It's just a matter of development resources presently. We'd need to make strings and associate each string with each statement (..ish). I think we'll get to this eventually. Sorry for it being an issue from the getgo :( I'll talk to the team and see how difficult this will be to implement and see if we can offer some ballpark implementation time estimate. 1 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatikus Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Having RIO subtitles option should go well along the general DCS radio coms which have such accessibility feature already implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolovay Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nothing in life is granted. Even life itself so subtitles for RIO should be present. Heatblur team, you would gain huge respect from at least all Slovenian virtual pilots implementing subtitles for our flying comrade. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falk1234 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) You could totally outsource the string creation and linking to the community.

Subtitles in a future update will be much appreciated for all even for non deaf or people with none native english.

Eldur Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm deaf. Gets my vote. But the font has to be at least 10 times bigger than the comms font of ED. Because noone can read that. I know that feeling and I'll be glad to finally have someone tell me where to look for that single pixel that I need to shoot at but am unable to see. Nothing in life is granted. Alright. Even dying will cost you a fortune. Or your heritages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
