These may seem like petty things, but, to me and a few players I have chatted with in-game feel they are worth asking/hoping for.
1.) An option to enable/disable the visibility of the mouse cursor.
I have used the cursor as a way to mark range points for gunnery ever since I started playing AH 6 years or so ago. It would be nice if we had the option to do so again.
2.) Add a "W.E.P. time" indicator to the E6B.
It would be nice to be able to see how much actual W.E.P. was available at any given time during a sortie without having to guess by the engine temp gauge.
3.) An option in the clipboard to allow the E6B page to always be open or not when the clipboard is opened/in use.
This may seem petty or lazy even, but, a lot of players use the E6B when in buffs to help calibrate their bomb sights. I just like it open to see what my speeds are to the mile and my A/C weight going into a fight as well as an accurate rate of climb. Even though its only a mouse click away, keeping it open at all times would be a nice feature.
Lastly,
4.) An option to make ALL head/view positions relative to the plane types.
Let me clarify...again, this may seem petty or lazy, but, this request would make things a little easier for the first-timer and experienced players alike. I personally only set up my cockpit head views for the A/C I am using at the time. Say I want to fly a Spit 16, set the views up and away I go. A few sorties later the ENY shoots up and I can only take up a Spit 1. If I never fly the Spit 1 then my views will still be at default and if gettin' up off the runway has to be as fast as possible due to incoming bogies, then I'm stuck tryin' to set up my views while tryin' to avoid the vulch and getting shot down. So, if all the head positions/views are able to be set-up relative to the plane type, then if I set my views for a Spit 16, all the Spits will be set up at the same time. This would work the same for the P47's, 190's, 109's etc, etc. Not sure if that could be done, but, if so, then there could be a way to save specific views for each A/C, GV separately as each one may need to be tweaked by the individual as he/she sees fit. This could eliminate a lot of time on the players behalf.
Anyway, these are my wishes/wants for the next version. Please no flaming or ignorantly bashing my ideas. Serious, constructive and educated comments are appreciated.
