I like the idea of being able to scroll back - even in the MA there may be something I am interested in.

I would also like to be able to adjust the size of the minimized chat window since it sometimes covers instruments - such as the Airspeed in the Mustang.  Perhaps a dot command so you could set the number of lines displayed and width.

Really?  When I load my .ahf file into a text editor all I see is gibberish.  When I load the film into the film viewer and see the text in the buffer, I can't copy any of it to paste it someplace else.  What if I don't want to record all the game data, just the text buffer?  What if I want to see more than just a couple lines of text at a time?

You get the idea...  ;)

You can't copy it but you can read all the text.

sorry but you're still wrong...  :neener: big difference between what you suggested and what he was asking for.  :neener:

 :headscratch:
He said he wants to read the text after his flight, I explained how to do it. What's the problem?

you can change the opacity of the buffer...I have it at about 30% (i think..but very light)....but I also have it at the top of my screen

Mine is pretty transparent, and in the default lower-left corner.  Sure it might cover a gauge or two, but in combat I'm not looking at the gauges.   :D
