Is it possible in Sp mode like 1946???

You can use mp_dotrange commands to manage icons (was discussed here yesterday).

It is possible to make aliases to commands in rcu files to type the commands quicker, e.g. ion will enable icons and ioff will disable icons.

My rcu file with FPS aliases looks like this:

Code:

@set fast off
@set echo on
@set alias on
@set history 20

@alias a alias
@a h history
@a s show

@a fon fps START SHOW
@a foff fps STOP HIDE

where fon displays FPS and foff hides FPS.

Thanks.

Does this allow you to toggle plane icons with one key or do you have to open the app first and then key command?

You have to type a short alias to console.

Rise of Flight and DCS both have simple key commands for this feature

Advice for 1C: The player shouldn't have to become a computer programmer to do simple commands.

Doesn't right clicking bring up a menu where you can select icons on or off in addition to viewing other planes and vehicles?

I wonder if a talented modder could come up with something??? I'll bet a lot of folks would like to see this feature.
