.CENTER command
« on: December 18, 2009, 07:28:30 AM »
So many times in the MA, one gets the call on the radio, need help with this or that enemy field. Then you have to find them. Now, finding a friendly field is no problem at all, just type ".move" and field nr and you're in the tower.
Sometimes as well, one is in flight and wants to see what's going on. No ".move" then.
So, how about a ".center "fieldnumber with the clipboard open, so the map would center itself on the requested number??? Would it be troublesome to program, or easy as pie? I certainly think it would be used.

I must be missing something (other than coffee this morning). Whether you type ".center A45", or type ".move A45", would it not be the same thing? The only other "move" type funtion would be ".goto GameID", but of course you would have to be in the tower for that.

EDIT: With no "delete" function, it figures. I finally got what you said on half a cup of coffee. Gahhh! :o :D

You can not ".move" to an enemy airfield. You need the closest allied airfield. So my idea was to help bringing the clipboard map on to the spot of operations rather than asking several times which is the nearest allied airfield. CV's would have to be excluded of course.
A timesaver from asking and asking, or scrolling and zooming.

that's a great idea.  it gets annoying in some of the large maps when it takes some time to figure out which is the closes allied field to some enemy field you cannot find on the map.  map field numbering is really confusing.
