Chat Window
All multi-player games have a chat function. Once you reach the Base screen after
connecting, the Chat Window appears near the top of the screen. This is how you
communicate with other players who are connected to your game. Anyone that
joined the game can talk to everyone else in that game.
Chatting works identically on the base and when you’re in flight.
To chat:
1. Press l. This opens up a communications channel.
2. Type your message and then press e.
Your message appears in the Chat Window, preceded by your call sign.
Pressing l multiple times cycle through message recipients (All, Team,
Wingman, Cockpit Crewmate, Enemies, Target).
a + l
, Erases all text in Chat Window. If you press it twice, the Chat
Window disappears.
To move the chat box:
1. Make sure you’re not in chat mode (i.e., you haven’t pressed l).
2. Press cl.
3. Press again to move the window to another preset position.
You can change or add preset positions for the Chat Window by editing
