dot E6B command

[perdue3]

Aggrivating for those who use your mouse as a gunsight to have to move the mouse to look at E6B, then re position it after you have looked. Would be a very good in combat addition. Hell, if we can ".score" why can't we ".E6B"? Think of this while in a dogfight, knowing you're low on fuel.

Why do you have to move your mouse?

1. Hit esc, or programmed joystick button to Open clipboard.
2. Move mouse, click on E6 to Open
3. Hit esc, or programmed joystick button to Close clipboard.

Now, every time you open the clipboard on this flight, the E6B will already be open.

Do this as you take off or climb out, before you position your mouse-sight, and all is well.

+1, good idea. I use a trackpad so it would save me a lot of trouble.

I lock my cursor using the H key. Then it is a pain to unlock look at E6B then reposition/re lock cursor.

This idea has been shot down before, but I think ".e6b" is far more useful than ".score"

It would be very convenient to have a .dot command to bring up the E6B window, would allow us with programmable sticks to program a macro to bring it up.  It is rather cumbersome to have to click multiple windows to bring it up while in flight.

+1 I also wished for this and an auto e6b option where it comes up each flight. See http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,284598.0.html

Wished for this some time ago...no mgmt ever said yes or no...maybe we can get a easter egg in the next patch.

Still think it would be easier to have it come up like the damage display left hand of the screen. Gamey...yes. But, no one had a computer controlled climb and speed read out in their paper and wood clipboards during WW2 either. And usualy they read it below the eyeline to their gunsight. Not blocking their whole frontal view.

There's a dot command for score??

Anyway, I don't understand the "multiple mouse clicks" thing.  You open the E6B and as long as you don't close the E6B when you close the clip board, the E6B is still open every time you open the clip board.

Either way, +/-1

My problem with the e6b...

When you open a new tab like the e6b or roster the clipboard has a separate saved position, but when I open the e6b and have the clipboard where I like it, when I open the roster and close it, the clipboard goes back to the other saved position and I have to close and re-open the e6b to get my favorite position back.

I would really really like to have a single key command that can both open and close the e6b, without any lag if possible. What I mean by no lag is not having to wait until the e6b slides fully open/closed before I can send it the other way again.
