Title: Aircraft notes
Post by: BaldEagl on September 13, 2008, 10:27:02 AM
I wish that there was an option on the clipboard where you could type in personal notes for each plane and then pull them up (on the clipbard) the next time you took that plane up.

Sometimes it's months between flights in certain planes (for me at least) and it would be nice to give myself a brief refresher on that AC on climb-out.

Save it like you do headviews now, so that it's always there with that plane.

Certainly would come in handy for some of us. Yes! :aok

Not to mention one's laziness of having to sift through a few hundred pieces of paper to find a small bit of information help them during their flight.

I have nothing to add, but saw the pattern of who posts after whom, and figured it's now my turn.

I'm breaking this party up  :aok

But, to stay on topic, I'd love this option, and since HT says our servers aren't hardly being 'tested' there should be plenty of server space to store the info. I like it. :aok

EDIT: Grammerical changes.

Save this to maps folder in AHII folder

http://files.filefront.com/notesbmp/;11784375;/fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/notesbmp/;11784375;/fileinfo.html)

you can modify it in paint using the text tool and change it to say anything. I have used it for things like object strength and dot commands

once you have saved your version to folder just go to game and pull up clipboard maps and click on add new map, select file and give it a name. now you will be able to see this in clipboard maps.

special note here though you will need to do this once for all the terrains that you use and the image size needs to stay 512x512.

I would add, that once you create the .bmp file, it's easier to edit the .lst file in Notepad then using the in-game interface for each terrain. Look in the C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\maps folder. Open it and you'll see something like this:

AirField Small,easy sfield.bmp
AirField Medium,easy mfield.bmp
AirField Large,easy lfield.bmp
Base - Vehicle,easy vfield.bmp
Base Port NW,easy Port NW.bmp
Base Port NE,easy Port NE.bmp
Base Port SW,easy Port SW.bmp
Base Port SE,easy Port SE.bmp
Fuel Gallons,Fuel Gallons.bmp
Normal - Town,town.bmp
Strat - AAA,aaafact.bmp
Strat - Ammo,ammofact.bmp
Strat - City,city.bmp
Strat - Headquaters,hq.bmp
Strat - Troops,barrfact.bmp
Strat - Radar,radrfact.bmp
Strat - Refinery,refinery.bmp

You can edit it and simply make copies for each terrain you want to use with your particular set of CBMs. When you pass around custom sets, include the .lst file and they'll automatically load with the appropriate terrain(s).
