Icon mode change confirmation
« on: January 10, 2000, 07:48:00 AM »
An enhancement that I'd like to recommend, that should be fairly quick and easy to implement, is a confirmation message in the text box when you switch Icon settings (pilot name, ac type, off).  When I cycle through the settings and there aren't any planes in view I can't tell what setting I'm left at.  Many times I've been flying in an area where I just know there must be enemy nearby but I don't see anything, I get that sick feeling in my gut, tap the Icon key, and suddenly find myself surrounded by dozens of red icons; all because I lost count of how many times I clicked the Icon key the last time I cycled, or I accidentally hit it without realizing it.  It doesn't help that there are only 3 settings here as opposed to the 4 in WB's that my thumb remembers.
Or am I the only one with this problem?
