Hello, pilots --- I'd like to introduce you to Roger Wilco.
It is a voice-radio app that lets you talk to your friends while
playing
online.
You can download it and try it at http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Roger Wilco is a companion application that runs ALONGSIDE DirectSound
games
such as Janes F-15, WarBirds, Falcon 4.0 (presumably), TAW, WW-II
Fighters,
and many other titles such as Quake, StarCraft and Unreal.  It gives
each
game a very nice virtual radio to allow you to talk to the other
players in
real-time.

FEATURES:

1.  NO SERVER REQUIRED.  Just meet a hosting radio user at his
machine.
    This is pretty much the same way you connected to them to play the
game,
    in many cases.  We will continue to design Roger Wilco so that
this
    characteristic -- WORKING ON THE MACHINES YOU OWN -- remains
constant.

2.  4 players on a channel -- more coming soon!

3.  radio transmissions belnd in nicely with game audio, as though the
    radio feature was integrally a part of the game.

4.  It sounds like a radio with mike squawks and such.  A
well-adjusted mike
    makes the speaker sound just shy of telephone quality speech.

5.  Small size -- less than a megabyte to download.

REQUIREMENTS

1. 166 MHz machines or faster

2. Win 95 or Win 98

3. 2 MB disk space

4. 28.8K modem

5. a soundcard that offers full-duplex audio under DirectSound.
    A current list is at www.resounding.com

We developed this tool because we wanted to use it.  But, right now,
it is
time to get the word out so I resorted to a well-labelled,
dispassionate
announcement.

Thanks for reading.

Not that I don't like the idea but...

The last thing I would want while racing online is to hear people screaming
in my ears ;-)

I mean, it's a good idea for air sims for communications, but I don't see
the point in online racing, especially in hard-core sims like GPL that needs
total conversation.. Just imagine..

Your about to take Tiergerten, when somebody screams a big AHHHHHHHH in your
speakers <g>

- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard!
- Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s.
- Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking)

  Well, think of the training and testing possibilites.  A hotshoe could
"coach" a newbie around
a course in practice mode.  either lead or follow and provide real time
advice on improving
the new guy's lines and times.  This would be an excellant tool for teams.
  however...
  also think of the posibilities...your gaining on someone, and each lap
whispering in his ear...
I'm comming...
I'm commin...
I'm here>>>
kinda like quake when ya sneak up behind some one, type BOO! then gib
him....
