Wish for different color Trails in AH Films
« on: March 03, 2011, 04:40:45 PM »
I know this is has been requested numerous times before......

but I wish that the Trails function in the AH Film viewer would show RED colored trails ( like the red colored icons of enemy planes )

and show GREEN color trails ( like the green colored icons of friendly planes )

this would help more in viewing the flight paths of the seperate planes when reviewing a Film for training/learning , instead of all red trails running together when crossing each other , etc....

could HTC code the Trails color to the Icon color of the specific plane ( and or country perhaps?)

have a specific color icon for each country ( or specific Trails color in films for each country )

Bishops = Yellow
Rooks = Red
Knights = Green

just a wishful request

Also perhaps have the ability to chance the trail color in the film viewer for easier analysis of 2 v 1 fights. For example: player 1 is red, player 2 is green, player 3 is blue, player 4 is yellow ect...

Yes!!  It would be great to be able to assign color to individual players trails from within the film viewer.  It would also be nice to be able to turn off an individuals trail.  For example you have a 4 player fight with color assigned and a bomber 5k above flys over- no trail
