I love it! As with most everything else about
the sim so far.
My question is...
Is there any way however to change the default size (larger) so that when I hit the [esc] key (on my throttle) it brings it
up in a usable size? (bad eyes).

Or?

 Maybe allow the in flight zoom keys to also
zoom the clipboard in and out also?

HTC,

How about adding the Location to the roster
i.e. in flight, field # etc...

 I tried that Heater, with the keyboard and it didn't work - I'll retry again tonight.
 Last night the only way I could zoom in or out was via taking hand off stick, grabbing the mouse and clicking on the + or - keys.
 It would be nice to use the [ ] view keys
to also zoom in and out, when in flight and when the clipboard is maximised.
 Guess feature request is what this would be.

 Thanks for the prompt reply! You Alpha  Testers were a Cod send last night <S>

HTC, Please make the clipboard/map "grab-able" from all sides.  I.E., now one can only click and drag from the top of the clipboard.  When I zoom it in, sometimes I zoom the top part off of the screen and then can't position the board.  

Also, the map is a bit tough to read, partially because of the team names issue...I.E., that the NME team fields are all "red" and friendly are green.  Maybe I just need to get used to it.  

Finally, we should be able to change fields by clicking on the field.  The .move command is fine, but point-and-click makes sense here.

(Maybe this feature is implemented, I just couldn't get it to work last night).

I think the clipboard is OK for arena use,but I would like to get rid of all the running back and forth offline. I made a gun sight today and during my checks in the differnt planes it got old quick. Maybe offline should be started at the hangers.
