You can use padlock to locate enemy who otherwise would be invisible in cloud.

This negates the realistic use of clouds in scenarios to hide in.

Can we get a setting to be able to turn it off?

Hey at least the Unwashed Leotard guy finished what he started instead of walking out on the scenario when red icon guys showed up.    :rofl

 +1 I used to love cloud fights, but the enemy always came out of them guns on me and I always wondered why until someone told me what they were doing

Just to be clear, I don't know what the argument is about, and I didn't start this topic to accuse anyone of anything.

I love you all!  :aok

Seriously, ULTactus and Dutch did fantastic jobs in Fjord Fury, and I loved flying with them.

I also have always loved flying with Waystin in scenarios.

You are a great bunch of guys -- don't argue!   :old:  ;)

Back to the topic at hand, I don't think it is at all bad for someone to use what the game gives as a tool.  If it's available, I expect people to use it, and that is fine.  I would just like to request an arena setting so that, for scenarios, I have the option to turn this particular one on or off, like how I can fiddle with all sorts of other things (icon ranges, view modes, etc.).

I even considered asking waysting if i could become a pig at one point. so i know he is a great guy. I just dont understand why he keeps this grudge :cheers:

love you to Brooke, your great <3

on topic: Maybe its just a bug because the rest of the icon just dissappears fine

You never wondered how some guys could keep track of you in furballs and never seem to loose the ability to stay locked on following you in the middle of several friendly planes of your same type no matter what?

Might be time for Hitech to completely remove this feature. Last 10 years it's been used by too many as a personal punishment greifing tool. It's one the few reasons I've taken a few HO shots in the last 10 years. It was obvious individuals were targeting me beyond my just having a red icon.

Brooke I would like to say that I agree 100% with turning off tab target in any special event. Heck am also for it being removed from the main arena too. I did not know anything about tab target till 2 weeks ago when a guy told me on a live stream on how to do it. Pretty sad since I been flying ah since the early 2000.

Hey at least the Unwashed Leotard guy finished what he started instead of walking out on the scenario when red icon guys showed up.    :rofl

Nothing funny about walking away from an event. I recommend you get your facts straight. Hard to change you IRE I know but these comments are beneath you sir. For a guy that claims to be the nicest in aces high you sure don't act like it.

You showed up and did what was asked of you and that's commendable.  You are improving your track record and growing and I am think you are getting better as member in this community.  In a few years you may move out of the JV ranks and into the Varsity.  Keep up the good work!

Your Cupcake.  :rofl

Oh come on Waystin, we smashed the target that FSO and made everyone happy who got left holding the short end of the stick. Even we didn't know if it wasn't going to be a one way trip with no chance of glory since we are mostly a fighter squad much of the time. Kept us sweatin bullets the whole way until we all landed. We just did the job for the community we were asked to do as part of being members of our community. Nothing special......

Buttercup come on, Do I want to be part of your JV or Varsity. I will answer that question as a nope. Do I care what you think my duty are to this community? I answer that too nope. Last time I checked you buttercup are not the end all be all of this community. It has a voice so stop trying to be a condescending bitter dude. Get over yourself and move on you not doing yourself any favors by being so childish. Your sly comments are noted.  :x

Nobody needs to thank you for your service. You action will always be a true indication on who & what you really are. I am glad that the right thing was done in that event. You guys should be commended for your actions. It should not be a requested by you. At the end nobody special this is a game last time I checked.
