Direct chat range?

[Darkseed 3]

Hi all,

Ran across a downed chopper this morning and there was a FN-FAL NVS, FN FAL and an M14 - i took the FAL ammo for my tent and then posted in direct chat the location of the downed chopper and the gear that was left (basically i only needed the ammo).

My question is - Is direct chat visible to everyone on the server or is it only those in range like mic speech?

I'm not really a bandit or a hero... just taking each day as it comes, but if i find a chopper i'd like to let people know - if only so i can sit on a hill and watch them fight over the gear lol

Direct chat has a range, I'm assuming its about 20 meters like the ingame voice chat. I've heard the voice chat is going to be bumped up to 40 meters though.

It is only in the direct chat range.

Only those in range... Not sure what the range is, though.

Shame - would be sweet if they added it so if you had the radio you could broadcast to everyone or something - seemed a shame to leave rare gear like the FN FAL NVS lying on the ground ;-)

40m and 80m

One is for text the other voice, can't remember which was which though

40m for text, 80m for voice, although it sounds pretty faint from max range.

think you can mark it on a map though, and at least other people with maps would know...
