Text messages

Noobie question! How do I put text messages on screen in multiplayer.

I believe it is the ~ key to bring up chat to all. Right shift~ to chat to team.

Or black marker....LOL:lol:

to clearify more... its the key to the left of your 1 key.. above TAB on the left side.

For some airquaking in the evening I like to join 104th server, just because its the most populated and therefore the right for just quaking around. But the half of my screen is obscured by text messages, that is sometimes funny, but robs you the last bit of immersion. You even can´t read AWACS messages (unfortunatly I can`t understand russian tongue).

For serious simming with my shark, I prefer the 51th server, even though the server is often empty, the immersion is much deeper, you don`t have one fighter every 10sqrkm, but also due to the disabled serverd text messages.

 

So, if I want to know who shot me down again on the 104th, I just open chat bar and can read, but generally having constantly half the screen obscured by chatting is rather disturbing and I wonder if there is any client setting I can enable to disable the server text messages?

Yes there is. Check this post by Soviet. You can edit the chat-log.res file to display now lines at all. Remember though that you may also miss server rotation messages.

 

Edit: Note to self Check the rest of the thread to see if others didn't already post exactly the same information :D

Thank you both. ;)

If you have spare buttons on your joystick (or your TM Courgar MFD's) these are well worth mapping somewhere handy. In an ideal world everyone would be on teamspeak but unfotunately the TEAMCHAT button is neccersary if you want to avoid a lot of BITTERSWEET situations.
