Whats the point with the new feature?
« on: January 18, 2017, 12:22:40 AM »
Whats the point having that new feature where you can point your mouse over a field a see whats up at the base? You can only use it when in the tower. In flight you cannot use it. There is no point having that feature if you cannot use it while in flight. It would be helpful while in flight when cons are around you and you just want a quick glance at what is up instead of right clicking on map and check base status. I just think its pointless..........

I agree about being able to glance over the fields while flight instead the Of tower only but another thing is I like the new radar feature but would Also like to have the feature of dimming it down like the text buffer. Other then that and team keep up the great updates

That would be correct.

I have no idea why it is not displaying in flight. Just a bug I'll get to today.

Fighter Data Link, Perfect Intel, anything else needed in the game?

Fog of War is an expression for a reason...windows in aircraft serve a purpose.

Maybe we need Recce planes to "populate" said feature.....

The same information was available previously by clicking the clipboard.

Whats the difference if something is hovered over or clicked?

Nice little convenience addition IMO.

Can you zoom in and out on the clipboard with your mousewheel yet?

That's a good idea Mick.   And HiTech is currently in the middle of functional changes to the clipboard - I encourage you to post it in the WishList section if you haven't already.

I like the feature, but it disappears too quickly, i keep having to mouse over the field over and over to get a good enough look at the status
