Using Roger Wilco with FL

Is it possible to use an audio comms program like roger wilco with FL in MP? It would be cool to be able to communicate with your wingmen by voice instead of having to type.

I dont see why not, unless you got memory problems it shouldn't cause a problem

Yeah it works fine. So long as you aren't shy

ive used RW with freelancer its cool. cause you dont got to type in battle. but one tip make it to where you got to press a button to talk cause the voice actiation messes up.

RW does not work with FL on my machine possibly my sound card or something

teamspeak works tho

How about BattleCom??

Yeah I used teamspeak for another online space sim(which is pay to play) for over a year now..

One important difference between Roger Wilco and Teamspeak is that Teamspeak seems to need a server whlie Rogerwilco doesn't. Teamspeak has a version which runs in linux as well as one for Windoze.

I use battlecom too. Seems to work for better than RW for me, although I haven't tried TeamSpeak.

You can host a teamspeak server very easily and if you have decent bandwidth have people connect to it and play FL as well.

I run a Clan TS server for a different M$ game involving Mechs. Even with a dozen folks on TS I can still play MW or FL quite happily....
and thats only on a 512/128 cable connection.

Just make sure you use one of the "lite" codecs such as CELP5.1.

If you don't want to run a server for it then there are many public TS servers out there I'm sure you could use, and some game server admins even host Teamspeak for that particular server.
