And many a time it clears my buffer for me, making me miss stuff. Would be nice to have an option. That way folks that want it can have it, folks that don't, wont.

+1

I would like some other option to aid in identification of friendlies also. Maybe a smaller text size for the plane type to keep these at a minimum.

While we are on the subject, I would like to request adding the plane type in the radio box next to each pilot's call sign. This would be big bonus for mission flight leaders.

I have the icon toggle on my throttle along with a switch on my throttle that will expand/shrink the buffer if I feel I missed something very quickly.

But at the end of the day, cycling your icons just once still fills up four lines of your text buffer, when you don't have all that many lines to spare.

+1 on this too.

+1 I've filled my buffer plenty of times doing this. I routinely fill it up with CT on/off too, as I'm very fidgety. :lol

That would definitely be one thing that could be removed from the text buffer :P
