Damage list option
« on: July 20, 2011, 10:02:04 PM »
Is there a way we can get a check box for the damage list to be defaulted on. Perhaps in the flight menu like where you can turn tracers on/off and autostart.   :pray

Just make it one of your "preflight checks"... and turn it on before you take off.

Its easier just to hit the key command isn't it?  I mean it's two keystrokes.

Or maybe HTC could coad our cartoon pilots arms flailing about while screaming helplessly.  That way we'd know we were on fire :x

 :bhead I get that. I just dont see a need for me to have to press it every single flight. A simple on/off checklist option so it is on all the time by default is all I'm asking. You would still be able to use cntl + D for the times when you are in multiple gunner vehicles to turn it off at the moment but it would default back on in the next sortie. I don't understand the resistance you guys seems to have to this.  :headscratch:

I don't think it's resistance just some suggestions in case they don't make your requested change. It's fine with me.

so u are saying u want somthing that you open clipboard to view damage?that means u gotta press esc and then go click on it,open it up,then hit esc again to close it.IMHO control + D is alot easyer.theres absolutley no reason to change how it currently is

no, he is asking for a check box to set the damage list to either "always on" or "always off". That way instead of using crtl D every flight you can use the check box once to set the default for every flight.  The current damage display in the upper left corner would still be the visual used when the box is checked.

+1
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

I did what flatiron1 suggested and have both damage list and system display mapped to two buttons on my stick. I wish I could add the E6B as a single button.   :old:
