Videos settings needs to be on the first menu. You need to be able to set resolution before the actual 3D game launches. For troubleshooting this is also important. The main menu is actually showing up before the game engine is running. It's a launcher.
I say we definitely need a revisit of the menu system and game interface. We're so used to it but I remember not liking the clipboard system when I first started and now there are TONs of problems reports or bad reviews showing that the interface is not good.
Look at War Thunder or World of Tanks for example. You get some graphic options but they're laid out a little more logically. I don't mean to emulate them, but we need to think outside of the current box. We have a lovely new graphics engine, so let's think about redoing the menu on the clipboard.
I think the clipboard is a great in-flight function, but maybe not tie the menu options to it. Maybe a separate GUI just for the menu and then the clipboard with e6b, map, etc whatever you like there.
Just a thought.
