Let me tell a true AH story…

It isn't the end all but would show HT is listening and willing to try a change of some sort...

Right now I don't get that feeling....

I’m pretty sure the dot thing is a code revision. AWACS is probably a setting.

Overall. AWACS needs to go with darbar beefed up so folks can more easily find each other.

Too bad different dar settings can't be set by map...

Go from what is there now to FSO settings on the next map...and back again..

Variety is the spice of life..

I’d love some crazy stuff like that but the MA doesn’t have the mission centric structure of FSO so you’d spend most of the time looking around and not finding anything.

What was wrong with the old dot dar system?

Nothing was wrong with it.

HT just changed it one day. Presumably to make the MA seem busier? Basically ruining half the magic that made the game so well balanced. There were a lot of questionable decisions (a hud in a WWII cockpit?!?! And entire night sky you could navigate by?!?!). But the AWACS is/was far and away the second worst decision I’ve ever seen him make.

Last night I was trying to make the clipboard smaller in the cockpit and realized I had it as about as small as it can go...

I was surprised how big you can actually expand it to be...it can almost blot out the entire screen in the quest 2..you could almost play without looking at anything else..
