Jonas Eberle Posted September 14, 2010 at 11:30 AM Posted September 14, 2010 at 11:30 AM I guess the title say it all. I suggest being able to differentiate between different chat/message cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]es by Font Size/Color. Adding a separate point under General Settings->Chat handlers could also be useful to differentiate the messages by logic. It shall help to reduce clutter and help focus on important messages. As CTR, I easily get 10 chats open in 1 hour. To the available chat/message cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]es, I suggest dividing private messages into active ATC [Facility Type <> OBS] / Pilot / OBS PS: On a sidenote, I would be happy to have .busy / .busyall command available that would differentiate Pilots+OBS / All exc.

SUP messages On a side note to that, sending "busy" messages towards other controllers is not really advisable, as your fellow controllers must always be able to coordinate with you. (If you use voice for all your coordination it's of course not a problem.) Martin Loxbo Director Sweden FIR VATSIM Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If you use voice for all your coordination it's of course not a problem.) This is exactly what I want to solve with this side-note. Ever tried .busy at is is now? It is different from VRC and sends "busy" to everybody contacting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Loxbo Posted September 15, 2010 at 07:46 PM Posted September 15, 2010 at 07:46 PM I never tried it in VRC but I've noticed in ES that's impossible to contact a fellow controller if he's "busy" - I just [Mod - Happy Thoughts]umed ES worked the same way as VRC.

Michael Pike Posted September 17, 2010 at 12:32 AM Posted September 17, 2010 at 12:32 AM Does the text override work in ES? In VRC you can enter a text message beginning with 3 asterisks (***) to create a private chat message that appears in red with a distinctive sound. It's not clear whether this overrides that controller's busy status (in VRC). Mike Pike VATSIM-UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, as soon as you put a * in it sends the message for some weird reason Would be good if this could be fixed Kirk Christie - VATPAC C3 VATPAC Undercover ATC Agent Worldflight Perth 737-800 Crew Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pike Posted September 20, 2010 at 06:57 PM Posted September 20, 2010 at 06:57 PM That's what I thought. Thanks for that testing Kirk, sorry I didn't quite get round to doing it myself I support this feature request to differentiate /busy and /busyall as well as a text override in red.
