New Map - Hard to Read - Request

[aknimitz]

Hiyas everyone,

Thanks HTC - LOVE the new map.  The one problem I have is reading the numbers/alt  I can read friendly ok (in yellow), but I have enemy in default red color, and well, it kinda is difficult to read.  

My request:  Can we have a standard color on the map as opposed to whatever we have designating the enemy?  I want to keep enemy planes as red, but I cant read the red names/alt very well (as well as, say white).  Plus the font I think makes it a little hard to read.

Ok, so my request isnt very clear    I would just like to be able to keep enemy red, but have the enemy fields a color that I can see clearly (white), with a text that is a little easier to read.  

Anyone else?  Thanks    Again, great work.

I think the best would be if we could adjust map colors in the setup/colors screen same as we do for icon colors, etc.

Tommorow would be nice but next week is ok I guess.   (Greedy bunch arn't we   )

slightly smaller text for the base numbers would also help

Agreed 100% please a smal font option for map names etc.

Adjustable map colors would be great!!!

I had yellow for squad mates so it was kind of confusing to see one squad mate at each field    (town/maproom dots)

IMO these new icons should also be toggels, like alt etc. Then some could use the old style map and only toggle the base type, maprooms and strats on the map when such info is needed.  I think that base names are needed more often and I would always have them on if wasn't so confusing like with this new system.

In base names screen the base should be located on same place as the base type icon!!!! Not beside it.

With such additonal toggle one could have a plain map with just dots and dar bars on it... maybe make even them toggles???

Great effort HTC.. but a bit more tweaking please

I use yellow icons for squad mates, too.

How about changing the yellow dots to "sky blue"?  Sky blue is usesless for icons, but would show up nicely against the green map background.

Another observation of the new map icons. Unlike small and mid bases, the large base icon is wrong position.... there should be a north-south runway instead of east-west.

Make a bitmap of the terrain colored to preference and place it in Aces High\Maps folder, then select it from the drop down clipboard menu.

Ahh.. we approach SA overload.. too much info, and too hard to get what you need.

Example..

SYSTEM: A34 has been captured by the Knights

Pilot.. oh; hell.. where's a34 (clicks map) Ummm... (changes scale) ummm... (clicks name on map, map becomes swamped with text) umm.. (changes scale again) Ummm... (gets shot down still fumbling with map)

Sure looks purdy tho!

So how many guys are still clicking the country icon instead of the field icon and wondering why they cannot move to another base?

Not me.

I like the altitude data but was expecting it to show on the tower chalk board, is that a possibility or too much messing around to do easily?

aknimitz:

I found your request to be very clear, and well worded.

Hangtime:

Written so the questioned became questioned.

Yooo, I agree AK and all the others.
Never seen so many squaddies ever before  


To move the map position in the clipboard I have to press shift, leftclick the mouse and move it..
So both hands are off the sticks  
Wouldnt it be enough to click the map and move the mouse?
