Ingame web radio streams

[RaptorNeo 0]

Would it be possible to implement internet radio stations so that players can select their own station through a dropdown menu?

I know it was in the older version of the game.

It was worked dozens releases ago but it's gone perhaps on forever.

Why? It was several issues with it:

1. Huge desynchronization for players and server, because it works quite odd way instead of sending of RPC (called simply send information to clients about radio station that's active, the gameclient was sent the data to server (audio data), and then it was sent back to each player that's in range. When actually sent only station ID was enough to make it work better and with less desync (but if you're from Japan and you mate from states there's an awesome trouble that you might listen 2 different songs (kidding) 2 different part of translation, like synchronization between countries and etc.

2. Is radio stations it self. In those old times was several stations like Absolute Radio 60th, 70th, 80 and 90th, and as standlone '00. But Absolute Radio (UK radio station) was moved own steams that's why players can't no more use that feature and now with current politics situation around the world i guess no way to implement such feature so simple or allow servers admins to implement own radio lists (like sent the list though RPC and with that way allow users select the station that they want to listen).

 

So if BI had forgotten about that feature, perhaps I'll suggest you to start the support ticket on Bug Tracke and shared it with forum. Perhaps players could support that idea, same as add that implementation into the cars.

But BI not cares about it. So it's only in your own hands to start the redemption (by the ticket to the devs) of Ingame Radio or forget about it at all.
