another minor wish
« on: December 01, 2010, 11:05:31 AM »
Would it be possible to make the film "save/cancel" pop-up appear in the upper left corner instead of the middle of the screen?

I can move it but the next one that pops up is back in the center.  Sometimes when a sortie ends and you try to quick re-up (or inadvertently hit the film button on your stick), it complicates things a bit.  If I would move the first one and each subsequent pop-up appeared in that place, that would be fine too.  Kind of like the radio buffer.

you can but if you have it slaved to your throttle or joystick like I do occasionally you accidentally tap it when you're engaged.  Considering I prefer to play in the weeds its a really good way to eat a whomping willow or die from 'lead' poisoning

I have it on my pinkie switch and have accidentally hit it during a fight.  When I get towered and try to quick hop in the field gun or a PT, it really gets in the way there too.  If it were in the corner of the screen, it wouldn't be an issue.

Does it really need to be that big though? It's a big window for only a few options. Any possibility of shrinking it down?

I thought they had recently moved the "join" box out of the way in a patch.

I say "I thought" because I had it pop up in the middle yesterday.

How about just a .showfilm 0 function.  Make it text based in the buffer.
