Clipboard "Flight plans"...
« on: December 21, 2008, 11:06:57 AM »
Forgive me if this is already available and I just don't know about it...
But it would be awesome and helpful, if a squad or anyone on a certain vox channel had access to a squad "Flightplan".
It'd be great for planning out routes in FSO's and even just for flying in the Main Arenas.

I know there's a mission editor, but I don't think the flight path stays current on the clipboard etc. Something you can just mark up, and then allow users on that vox channel to view etc. Be great for planning out stuff and having a reference to it in flight during the flight.

That'd be nice. Something to show what's going to happen, be able to write notes at the bottom (type)?

I've wanted something like that for years.  I don't really do the whole base capture thingy any more but was just thinking about it in FSO on Friday.  The ability to set waypoints of some sort would be very nice.

I'm not a programmer, but it doesn't seem like it'd be terribly difficult to do.
Just thought it'd help communication.

I like the idea too and I'm not a 'W1N Z3 W@R!!!111' kind of guy.

It would give scenarios a nice boost, I wouldn't have to print up orders before the frame and create a make-shift kneeboard.

Actually the addition of some sort of notepad function like a kneeboard would be really really nice for scenarios and FSO's as well as the waypoint thing with the map.

Very nice idea, +1.

Also, in the main 'Squads' menu in the O'Club, it would be good to have an associated option to give a squaddie permission to set/edit the flight plan.

Still like this idea and would love to see it implemented!
I know the HTC crew are busy, but this would be an outstanding asset in planning!
I think it'd be best if everyone on a certain vox channel could view it, that way squads with multiple squad sections all tuned to the same Vox frequency could see it.
But make it a requirement to be on the Vox channel, not just tuned to the Vox text.
