Title: Save settings...
Post by: W7LPNRICK on February 27, 2010, 06:37:16 PM
Regarding F-10 save function- Zoom position should be allowed to be saved just like head position. I like one setting for driving in #1 position and a different zoom for #2 & #3. Aircraft auto climb .speed should be allowed as well. These would save a lot of time, distraction, and menial tasks, while, searching for a kill, taking off, or watching your 6.  :joystick:

use your button for forward view then zoom in and save.  before I got my trackir, I would have 2 button to look forward side, to make it easier to follow planes when in a turn, or for landing on a cv.  as for the autoclimb there's some macros you can set up with your stick.

My problem with this is every time you change positions the zoom goes with you, ie: Zoom in to your normal position in the tank main gun #2 pos. get the zoom where you want it, switch back to #1 pos, have to change it. If it were a real tank you wouldn't be driving it by yourself, hence simplicity is a necessity.  :neener:

+1 good request. zoom settings saved per aircraft like head positions. likewise for pilot/gunner positions in bombers.

no, you got to remember that you flew a different plane last time you logged, then you got to zoom, then hold down the +/- buttons til its how you like it. probably a few times back and forth because it zooms really fast. just a few lines of coad, whats the downside?

It's NOT a major hassle to set it. That's not the point...but it's redundant as all heck, and difficult to zoom to exactly the same spot every time, & in every vehicle/aircraft, which would help with instinctive shooting on-the-fly. Your mind sees the same picture every time and learns without thinking about it what range the target is, simply by repetition.  :salute
