[FEATURE] Alternatives for TX Link in Multiplayer #82

Open Ryuk47 opened 1 year ago

Ryuk47 commented 1 year ago

I would like to suggest a means of using Vaicom in online play without needlessly congesting comms with parallel broadcast, delayed input with the switch option, or the fidelyness of TX Link. Though the latter appears like the best current solution, without Vaicom opened on a second monitor, whether one is currently broadcasting SRS or talking to AI is not always obvious, resulting in AI hotmicing or adressing the wrong recipient.

Instead of the short press/long press functionality currently seen with TX Link, I would suggest offering the ability to swap this out for double presses. E.g., press and hold for SRS, double press and hold for Vaicom, Ideally with a slight delay before SRS transmission is triggered by the double press.

I am no expert on Voice attack but double press shortcuts look to be supported, and possibly this change could be achieved with only minor alterations to the TX Link functionalities. To retain user choice, this double press feature should be available in addition to the current options rather than replacing them.

I managed to achieve the desired effect for personal use with seperate double press conditions in Joystick gremlin and differernt mappings for radios in SRS and Vaicom with some fiddling. It remains up for the team to decide whether this would merit natural integration into Vaicom for the wider user base.
