Ok, Ill explain.
When you type .wingman(pilot's name) into the text buffer it turns their icon white, as well as their radar dot.
This helps you distinguish them from other green guys quickly in a furball and track them on the map.
I would simply like a "(pilots name) has you as their wingman" text in the buffer when somebody .wingmans me.
Just so I know who is tracking me. I would also like others to know when I have .wingmaned them.

i have mine set to pink...

and here i thought you ran into something to do with this new feature...

Added a new autopilot mode that attempts to maintain the same relative position to your designated wingman (using the .wingman dot command) when it is first engaged.  It is not intended through any hard maneuvers and it has a maximum range of 1000 yards.  The default key for this command is Control W.  NOTE: This function may be unmapped in your keymap requiring you to manually map it.  It is under the flight section of the key mapper listed as Autopilot Wingman Mode.

Yes i read that new feature earlier. This wish that I have put here is something that Ive been thinking about asking for a while. Ive heard others talk about it too.
My wish is unrelated to the new feature.  :)

There should be a .wingman accept message... so if you don't want to be wingmaned you arn't....another griefer tool like the highliting on of names on the map, Xcountry pm's and vox.

why? unless you're pissing people off, the wingman command is innocuous. the person marking you as wingman isn't joining your plane or interfering with anyone. doesn't affect anything to do with your ability to fly.

stop pissing people off...hell i piss people off and i don't get any grievers. maybe it's your cologne or that dress you're wearing...  :lol
