Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

[nearmiss]

1) One thing that has always bothered me and the rest of the Il2 world is the small vertical & Horz slider bars on the sides of the FMB. Often very hard to click on them to scroll, because they are so small. You have to be right on top of them to slide.

2) Another thing big issue is having individual set start times on objects.
If when we select a group of objects it would be nice to be able set all the start times/clocks/facing direction at the same time for all objects. This may require a further filter, because some users may want to select what is already set and accept those parameters. When moving a group of buildings mission builder would probably want to move everything the way it is set. When working with artillery or other objects the start time/delay, facing direction would be nice to set all at once.

3) Object spinners are difficult, because we now have so many aircraft/objects. We could use some sort of filter and sort that makes it more efficient to select objects, especially aircraft. I'm sure if you want to pursue this you could get some very good feedback on this forums for a few best ways to set it up. Regardless, anything would be an improvement.

4. Artillery, tanks and weapons selection is difficult because you have to research country,etc. It would be nice if these objects were limited by country they were used by. If there is crossover that would be fine. It is too easy to pick wrong weapons, tanks, vehicles,etc for country without some type of filter.

5. A great help would be having aircraft filter for year aircraft was used first time. Possibly a time for each mission could be defined in basic mission setup this way only aircraft that were first introduced in that year or earlier would be available for choice. It is too easy to pick late model aircraft that were not available at the time of the mission. I realize this might take a bit of research, but I think if you were interested to do this many people would be glad to help with the database on this forums.

6. A mission scenario builder briefing form tool. It would basically be a form that mission builder would fill in for each mission. The map, the time of day, the year, the month, the type of mission, etc. This way all the basic information that was necessary would be supplied in the form. Then the narrative information would be in a text box of the form. Creating the mission explanation is a very tedious part of building missions, a form would facilitate a comprehensive standard briefing with allowance for special information. This would become valuable over time as mission builders would have uniformity of information in all briefings. As it is, we are often handicapped in missions because the mission builder has left out important information or you cannot understand the briefing well enough.
