wondering how difficult it would be to enable a highlite feature for everyone on channel 5. Would be nice to have a way to highlite everyone tuned to my channel, that way id know where they are. Or maybe possible to have multiple wingmen???

When 1.11 came out I talked to HiTech over vox he said its dooable and will consider it. Dont take that as offical although.

as I said when you suggested this in ch 1 the other day; good idea... even if you are a yak dweeb.

Yea, Yak is a true dweeb machine. I really like the 2 1/2 sector range it allows me for round trip flights. And those 120 rounds of cannon afford me the ability to start sprayin at 900ft. Best of all Its a gem at 20k & turns Excellent when slow, Hell I dont know why they ever bothered to make any other planes after the yak.

But the REAL point of this thread is to see if any others out there agree, Channel-5 highlite is a worthwhile & fairly simple improvement that could/should be added to our virtual world.

Would be REAL nice ... The MAW is made of of multiple squads so all I can see is just my squad ... would like to see where ALL the MAW are.

Yup, sure would be nice. Lots of times we have a fair number of none squadies tuned that we are talking to, would be cool to know where they are.

Sure would be nice to have that for multi-squad efforts.

Speaking of highlighting.....

Still waiting for the "Map Room" dot color to get changed from yellow to "sky blue".

I'd rather see names associated with dots on the radar.

I vote for this idea. It's the single biggest problem I have with the arena.

Great idea! Be neat to also see a selection in the Club screen to link squad wings together on Squad Channels. Or maybe raise the # of people in a squad. But it would be neat to see where folks tuned to the radio are located.
