The radar dot of a person transmitting on voice channel now highlights on the map.
- Did everyone miss it?  Talk about a feature enhancement! Someone calls out for help and you can see them right away on the map if you're within distance. Awesome. Especially for squadmates! Pyro!

Wish the readme was more convenient - say a MOTD or have an option after install to  click on "open readme file?"  like you usually see with install programs.

Yes I really like this feature :)

I'd like to see a changeable color for the transmitting icon.  It blows up and covers other friendlies in the nearby area.  Before I knew what it was, I thought it was a massive blob of friendlies slowly mobbing a lone bandit.  A different color or perhaps a flashing/enlarged dot would help.

A clipboard that would stay in the spot on the screen, even after changing planes, would be nice.

And a Malcolm hood for the P-51B would be nice, too.

And a Sherman with the Calliope rocket pack.

And a J2M.

And a B-25 Mitchell that could be launched from carrier decks.  :D

I wonder if the reverse side of the deature would be do-able.   If you are transmitting, everyone on dar in range of your voice would change color so you could see if anyone actually heard you. :)

Just allow the B26 to be cv launched, with alittle rollback on deck. I know it wasn't allowed to in real life but it can with a little ease, and it could be the B25 sub if HT and Pyro can't add it.

Soulyss I kinda second that.  Granted it's not too realistic but it would be nice.  Sometimes it's a pain to bring up the radio to see who's' within range of you.  Maybe when you key up folks within range would flash.  

I had also thought of an idea to do some type of mouse over function on the dots themselves.  Ofcourse this would only be an option for friendlies.  It's rather annoying when your running an NOE mission and someone is out on a joy ride in your area popping dar.  You could put your mouse on that dot and the name of the pilot would come up somehow in a corner of the screen or something.
