Title: Interface Irritant
Post by: Adogg on May 12, 2004, 09:39:33 AM
This probably doesn't count as a bug but it is a design flaw -

The Clipboard as it stands right now is a major impediment in the Hangar Area. With the Aircraft menu down it takes up way too much of the screen at a decent zoom to be useful.

Worse having to move it around a lot in order to select different aspects of the aircraft weapons layout slows you down when you are trying to scramble in defence of an airfield.

Finally, the absence of a "category" menu to let you quickly choose between aircraft types (fighters, bombers, vehicles) is also a major irritant.

Anyone else find this to be the case?

Try a "right click" for your catagories :)

Why dont you just close the clipboard? Hit ESC and the clipboard is gone, hit esc and its back....

personally I'd like a clipboard move speed setting, I get impatient waiting for it to go all the way from off to HUD position.

Used not to be necessary I could look at the map and decide whether I had time to gain alt and pick a boomer or if i needed a turn fighter flipping back and forth seems tedious.

Just lazy and liked the old interface I guess:D

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Well I liek the new version, as a mentioned to the other guiy who has the same complaint as yours, you just spent several months worth of "hitting esc" typing out your 2 post. Each letter is 1 esc push :)
