Title: Squad/Arena message in flight
Post by: SkyGnome on July 23, 2006, 12:00:27 AM

It would make leading stuff much easier if the arena message and squad message were visible durring flight.  Having rules and orders on your clipboard in flight is half the reason you'd bring a clipboard, right?

They are availabe in flight. You just have to have the clipboard up.
For the arena message hit arena message on clipboard.
For the squad motd use the dot command showsquadmotd while clipboard up and you will see that one.
Of course something may have changed in the last few days but you used to be  able to see both inflight.
I know I can in the TA presently.

Ahh.  Thanks for the help.  I guess the bug report would be that it would be nice if they were both obvious and/or doccumented. ;)  The squad message was great for my first scenario flight lead (more people should use it, it saves a lot of reapeating one's self), but once we launched it was gone - and I couldn't really go pull up a web browser to figure it out (or figure out where it's talked about).
