Bo, I've never tried AH padlock, so I shouldn't use it as a reference, but this is what I envision: Push a button (or key) once, and one of the friendly icons in the current view is highlighted, keep pushing that button, and the highlight cycles through all the friendlies in view. When the highlight is on the guy you want to warn, push a second button and he gets a six call and the highlight disappears. You don't need to read the icon, just get the right one highlighted. For me the advantage would be that I could send a six call without taking my hands off the throttle and stick.
lazs, There is no way to alter the icon colors right now, but there is a thread in "gameplay" asking for it.
