Message in Helis/airplanes: Mayday!

kain · Post by **kain** » 2006-12-24 03:32

Hi, i saw some suggestions before that about mayday, but not like that.
How about a message "mayday" when you are going to crash with helicopter/airplane (the message goes to all players, ou all close players for radio, like medic "clear", "you ready do go")?
ex:

"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!"
or
"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! We're going down! Repeat: We're going down!"
or
"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! We're hit!"

Or a simple message from the cockpit, "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" with the "Tam, Tam, Tam" (wich appear when you are closing to crash/explode).
So, what you think about the idea?

Sure that would be nice, but the thing with voice messages is that we need them in all ingame languages.

I think it's universally pronounced "mayday," dbzao, since it's an international distress signal, like Morse code "S.O.S." It's a bastardization of a French word/phrase meaning "help me," if I remember correctly.

yes, in brazil "mayday"= Emergencia (Emergency), how about just "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" but in three diferent voices....

You're right, it was m'aide, but when the American pilots heard it they thought it was mayday, and that's how it was born.

It comes form "m'aidez" if I remember correctly, in other words, "help me."

Maybe sofad could take a look at this. Should be easy to add this message when the vehicle is at critical damage (burning).

yeh i think it would be good you could code it to be swaped from bail out to may day when the plane/ chopper it critical eg 20% health. Hence the com reose does not become any more clutterd and it sounds more urgent.

I can do the british voice but there are a lot of brits on this forum with voices that dont sound as strange as mine does lol.
As for the MEC voices me and Robbo live near bradford so we can easy find a pakisatni /iraq/ whateva asian to record it.

Peace out guys and merry christmas UKARMYCADET

Good idea, it would also be nice if there was sound like :

"MARK...MAAAAARK" lol...no im not calling my boyfriend...i think thats what pilots shotout when they are about to Bail out..so their position is marked or something....

IMO, i dont think this should be done...too much Sound Spam...you know ? you got loads of people spottin, gun fire, more people spotting for no reason...loads of sound, and add to that, aw man, headache...

Edit :

eye kan dew a rednek voyse iffen ya'll needs one.

LOL !! i laughed so hard lol i woke up my parents lol..
