Icon Suggestion
« on: May 08, 2005, 02:30:00 PM »
When flying in MA, I always like to keep Normal Icons on, as I assume others do.  Sometimes, it is usefull to see what planes others are flying (such as when attacking a base, taking a field, etc, ,etc.)  In order to do this, you have to manually change Icon modes.  Sometimes, this is can be a bit cumbersom to guys like me who have a hard time flying AND chewing gum.  Would it be usefull to have friendly icons somehow distinguish themselves?  Not sure of the best way, maybe bombers have a star next to the name or something.

Just a thought

I know...but in a scramble hitting Alt-I get's a little cumbersom, especially if tied up...  That is why I was wondering if it would be helpful to denote somehow...

Plus... I usually screw up and forget to set it back and some enemy get's on my six with no icon on and I miss them cause I don't see red....lol...

if you have a programmable stick, it is quite easy to map ctrl i

i have it mapped, and use it more that 2 times every sortie usually

mapping makes it much quicker and less cumbersome
I don't know what to put here yet.
