Two simple wishes from the last con that HT liked
« on: October 23, 2007, 12:25:20 AM »
There were two requests made at the last convention that would help immensely and that HT said even he'd love to have. They've already introduced some of the bigger ones (moving the hangers on GV fields, giving towns real AA guns).

First is a wish for a feature back. Bring back the thick tracers for at least the 8" guns. In AHI you could follow your rounds right until impact. AHII's tracers resemble that of a .50 round.

Then a new but simple feature. A checkbox under "Flight" in the Preferences that will automatically start filming at the beginning of flight when checked. Some expansions to this wish include switching it off for GV use or giving a popup box at the end of flight asking if you wish to keep the film or not.
A Rook who first flew 09/26/03 at the age of 13, has been a GL in 10+ Scenarios, and was two-time Points and First Annual 68KO Cup winner of the AH Extreme Air Racing League.

a popup at the end of the flight is a must!
Otherwise I will forget about it and end up with a gigabyte directory containing hundred of unwanted films. Being able to name the file would be nice as well.

Good idea.

I had an idea once that Hitech liked, I don't know if it's used though.

A post-flight statistics brief like we have for score now.  HT said this was on the to-do list for a while now.
Historical tracer colors...
Individual track control on tanks that had it (link)
Real flak delay, not the instant box-flak we have had forever.. planes maneuvering at >380MPH from 6K away shouldn't have flak keeping up with them as now.

Lots more here.
