I would like the ability to color code my flight icons per aircraft type and per country...Currently I can set individual colors to my two enemy countries on the map, but in flight they both show up as whatever color I choose for enemy...I would like to be able to color code the other two enemys in flight so I dont have to distinguish them through the small icon....

Secondly, and prolly less likely, but i'll try....Would it be possible to color code aircraft type?  Fighter/Attack lets say red....  and Bombers/Transport black...I know the icons there but it might help SA if a quick look at the color could tell you what type of aircraft you will be dealing with?

i dunno?  likes, dislikes, suggestions to add???

I'm not sure it would help much with SA.  And if you color the types, what are you goin to do about the countries?  Friendly V enemy, or enemy v enemy.  I think you would end up not knowing what is going on and put it back to the way it is now.  When you are fighting an enemy, do you really care which one it is?  I don't think they care and will shoot you down the first chance they get.

Now, if you are talking about being able to have different "top" colors for the enemy and the "bottom" color be different, then you are really looking for a sky filled with colors which will not give you all the information you want at a quick glance.  It would really be confusing.

Maybe the aircraft type is a dumb idea on second thought, but I am serious about being able to color code the two different countries in flight...For example rooks (my home country) would stay green, Bish red and Nits Black or Blue....I'd especially like this during a mass 3 country furball...

and if you like the idea you can use it, if not just keep red for both countrys...I think it would be very simple for HTC to add for the next patch...

HTC/Skuzz do you guys have any thoughts on this?  Is it a possibility?  Has it been discussed or even tried in the past with any of your other projects?

thanks
