Lowering icon settings in the Main Arena

[Ghastly]

For those of you who are already jumping to conclusions, please read the post before responding...

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd ideally like the option (a dot command would be fine) that would let me tune the icon settings on my own computer to a value that is LESS than that which is allowed in the current arena.  The purpose of this would be to allow me an opportunity to practice with the more restrictive settings that are used at other times and in other arena's while in the Main Arena.  As much as I didn't expect them to be, I found the Wednesday Night Snapshot settings to be somewhat difficult to evaluate, and would like an opportunity to practice evaluating energy state and aircraft course at the lowered settings.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  Do you mean that you want to take away info from other players' icons from your perspective?

What I mean is that if the Main arena begins to display an Icon at a range of 6.0, I'd like the ability to set my own system (and not someone elses) to not display icons until 3.0 (for example).  If in the Main Arena you normally see the aircraft type displayed at 6.0, I might want plane type displayed only within 300 yards on my own FE (for example).

This would let me fly and fight in the Main Arena, but using the more restrictive icon settings that might be being used in another setting, and therefore I'd be able to practice "seeing" differently.  Since I wouldn't want to be able to set my own settings to be more permissive than those set in the arena, the only person I'd be "hindering" would be me.

Go to the AvA. They usually use setting similar to scenario settings.

Or you can just cycle your icons to not show at all, or show friendly only.

However I see the point your getting at. The problem is that most of those settings are arena variables, not player variables. Coad would first have to be reworked setting it as a player variable. Then it would mean another line in the gui so you could have a setting or slider for enemy icon range.

So in theory, possible, but you have to wonder how many would actually use this.
