Author Topic: Really hate the new clipboard (Read 752 times)

I really hate it. Too much dead space under the minimap in normal use, and the swing-out bits in the Hangar are appalling. And whereas the AH1 clipboard can be dragged simpluy by grabbing the top, with AH2 you have to actually grab the clip. And the plus and minus symbols aren't very discernable.

It's crap. Get rid of it, please.

I wouldn't call it crap. I would say that a lot of changes need to be done regarding space usage. Instead of showing the map in the hangar HTC could display a list of load-out options. That way you've got AC selection and loadouts readily visible and wouldn't have to constantly minimize the CB, pick your load, pull the CB back up, see the situation changed, minimize CB, change loads, bring it back up. It's a pain in the ass. There's a few situations where showing the map at all times isn't necessary, and that map space could be used to display additional information or extra options.

Yeah, I've complained about it several times too. Now looks a little easier to fold that irritating extra wing that sticks out. Best workaround is Esc to hide and restore the whole thing.

Still much prefer the present clipboard in AH1, but maybe there is some future need for the default expanded that we just don't understand yet?

I wouldnt call it crap either........

Perhaps if you post a suggestion for improving it that may go a bit further than just bad mouthing it.

Just a thought....

And I agree about just touching the clip to move it....and the +- signs as well.

I think it needs some improvement but with all the bugs it is probably the last thing to worry about. I don't mind the swing out parts but I would really like once they went back in it went back to whatever part of the screen you had it in instead of staying in the middle or the screen. That gets old quick having to adjust it every time.

Be nice to have a semi transparent map

This one goes under the "difference of preference" category I think.

I like the new clipboard.

Are you saying this is a clipboard bug???

This forum (on my computer) is called "Aces High II : Tour of Duty".
It appears just above the forum called "AH2 Open Beta Bug Reports" on my system.
