Title: Option to disable Icon cycle modes
Post by: prono on March 07, 2012, 08:12:13 AM

Who use "Friendly only" and "Disable all" icon modes?
Please drop them or make option to disable from cycle.

There are times such as FSO when disable all is handy.

Disable all is also useful when using FRAPS to film video clips directly in game.

I use friendly only when in heavy furball to get rid of 1/2 the icons when chasing somebody into a furball.

"Disable All" Is useful in FSO when there are 15 or 20 people stacked on the back of a CV and you're on final and cant see the deck for all the icons.

Of course, in an enviroment replicating the feel of historical landings, we would space the approaches and clear the deck between traps, skipper. But I hear ya.

maybe a separate keystroke that could be mapped to joysticks besides the "cycle" button we have now.  This could be the best of both worlds and make all happy.  Example: Alt I toggles friendly aircraft and Alt J (not sure if that is already used or not but hopefully you get my point) to cycle through all icon options.
