CHAPTER 7 - RADIO MESSAGES 

    Once you have playtested the mission, checking all goals work well and are displayed the way you want, you can add radio messages. This is an easy part of the mission creation, just go to the "Messages" screen of the main pages window, and add new radio messages. The datapad provides you with information on the messages instead of FG information. Write the sentences on the bottom of the datapad screen, choose the color on the right side, 4 condition strings are available to define the conditions when the message is sent. You can prevent the display of the message although the conditions are true with two cancel condition strings at the very bottom of the screen.

    Some hints: if you want to display messages like "Hey, some Y-wings are going after our cruiser" once a flight of enemy YWs arrive, don't use "100% of Flight Group YW Enemy must arrive". If there are several waves of YWs, the message will be only displayed once the last wave arrive. Use "At least one of..." instead.

    Don't forget to add end of mission radio messages in the "Teams" screen.

    In addition to these "written" radio messages (though you can assign .wav to them with the registered version), don't forget you can have your wingmen speak on radio, with the "Radio" setting set to "Player #1", and a voice chosen in the "Role" page. With these settings, you will hear tactical messages from the selected flight groups, like "I'm attacked", "Watch your six" etc...
