Two items I'd like added to the game is;
- Plane Config File: A file that retains individual plane settings, like auto climb speed and salvo# as I often change my .speed depending on the plane type and area I'm flying in.
- Packet Loss Counter: a packet loss counter placed next to the FPS counter when using ctrl-I so I know when I need to relog.

great idea !
A tiny variance and host queue graph would be fine too
-
it already saves your salvo + delay

I disagree with #1.
Because pyro already set best climb speed in each plane.

I don't always want the "best" climb speed.
There are times when I'm climbing out in a sector with enemy cons around where I want a lower climb rate and higher airspeed.
And if I know I'm going to re-up from the same field in the same plane type or in a similar situation I'd like a file that retains my previous flight settings.
Basically I like to auto trim for an specified airspeed more than for an angle or climb rate.
I'm well aware that .salvo is saved in a file somewhere and I wonder why .airspeed can't be saved in that file as well, after all if my head positions can be saved based on each different A/C why can't I have .salvo and .airspeed saved for each A/C ?
As I change A/C and available loadouts I'd like for .salvo to be save to that particular A/C type, not generically across the board for all my plane choices.

too lazy to type .speed ### ?
think about what it'd take to save avrious .auto commands, how it'd be implemented... it's easier an dsimpler across the board for you to take the 1-2 secs needed to do what it is you're trying to do.
salvo command ( both salvo # and delay) *are* saved for each plane, not applied across the board.
here's my a20.slv file readout:
1,Salvo
50,Delay
my la7.slv:
2,Salvo
50,Delay
c47a.slv:
10,Salvo
50,Delay
p51d.slv:
1,Salvo
50,Delay
simply comparing the la7 and p51d .slv files shows you they're not saved "across the board."
take the time to check thingss out before you ask. :D

FYI, a salvo of 0 will release bombs for as long as you hold the button, with your delay setting aswell
