Hi there!
Thanks for your suggestion. I understand that, especially in busy areas like Calais, the CB chat can be quite annoying. However, every user can set a preferred channel in the settings. Many language communities have agreed on a channel to use (e.g., German on channel 9), which fosters communication and is a realistic experience. In less busy areas, not having CB enabled by default would be quite a downgrade. ATSMP lives off the CB radio.
At this moment, we will not accept your suggestion, but we are investing in a better CB experience and better moderation tools to make the CB radio a valuable addition anywhere on the map.
Thank you for your understanding.
