Can we avoid a fight on this and just give your preference?

what he said...

also are there limitations, or fixed settings to choose from? not a sliding scale where it can be set at whatever from 1-5999?

It would be much simpler to present the choices as:

1. 3k friendly, no enemy (current standard)
2. 3k for both
3. 6k for both
4. other

yes?

With track Ir you can look around and see what's going on at a glance that's the beauty of track Ir.
I'll bet the ones that want long icons, don't own a track ir and that's OK, but with it you can see what's going on at a glance and that makes no Icons very  FUN.

Is it possible to set icons on at a given distance and then off at another?
For example enemy icons: off > 5k; on 5k to 800; off < 800
If not then friendly at 6k and enemy at 3k

thanks shuffler, good to hear from you!  :D

trap78, first part--no
second part-- no problem

we can only shut them off below a certain altitude, not below a certain distance.

so far based on averages:

friendly Average 4130 yds

enemy average 3384 yds

Are you averaging in zeroes for the no icons preference? If so there is an error in your logic. No icons isn't a distance of zero, it is a preference for the icon to be off. Short enemy icons are just as intrusive as long enemy icons.

My preference is icons off for both friendly and enemy but that detracts from the experience when flying with friendlies. If enemy must be on then they should always be equal to friendly. It makes absolutely no sense that icons should be different for friendlies and enemies if icons are on for enemy.
