Title: External View Play Issue
Post by: Curly on October 01, 1999, 08:11:00 AM

 I do love the external view when in flight.
However. It really should be availabel only
off line.
 My only thought was that I hope it (F3 and the other external views) is a view that could be disabled during scenarios. These external views can provide the pilot a very unnatural view of the airspace for quite a
long distance around him.
 No more sneaking Jabos or buffs into target
 down in the weeds

Prety hard to sneak anywhere with the enemy planes showing up at 7000 yards as it is.

WIth the current ground texture set, planes are really hard to see. It would be cool in my opinion that in scenerios, you dont get the 7k autoradar, but instead if you see a dot, you have to click on it, or highlight in some way to get ID on it. That way you have to search for targets, not just look for a huge flashing red neon sigh saying "I am an enemy"

Now that's about the best damn idea I've heard in a long time regarding the icon issue, Granger.

Hey! Why didn't I think of that one?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Cheers,

 Same here!  Very nice idea. Hope it gets some serious attention by the powers that be.

Downtown Said: (in another thread) "It would be cool if "Otto" could call incomming Cons. I think it could be coded."

If not pls remove F3 from online play except
for buffs. Please do this HT, Pyro, and crew!
To have F3 on anytime online is bad... VERY BAD
Pls make it REAL HTC!

Don't get your panties bunched up. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  We know that cockpit visibility is very important to a plane's functionality.  We don't intend to leave external views enabled online, it just hasn't been disabled yet.
