I agree 100% and this is actually very very doable as it is already being done and could easily be implemented in to the sim ...

External Self
External All
External F
Extarnal E
External on ground only F
External on ground only E

and the ground padlock optons Toad mentioned.. as that is a problem for me now.. finding targets.. and it sometimes takes the fun out.. and that is what this is all about really...

Those things are good features if done properly. That is make additional difficulty switches for them in a way I described before.

As for troubles finding the correct ground targets, I have read it was difficult in real too. I found it annoying only during my first flights. After I begun to got a slight clue about the game I begun to find it very interesting and fun to try find the ground targets. What is fun for me is not fun for you, it seems. That's why we have those difficulty settings.

However I have seen people use words like "it is not realistical" to "justify" use of ez difficulty settings. Lets take icons as an example. Arguments go for icons on grounds about "monitor resolution is not the same what pilots saw". After that something very hilarious happens: icons are claimed to be more realistical

WTF? Seeing text around planes is realistical? Er, it can't be realistical. Text showing "here it flies" can't be realistical. I agree though that identifying aircraft can be unrealistically hard in this sim, but text around aircraft is definetly more unrealistical.

So what you people do is get lost between words "realistical" and "difficult". If you want it to be easier to identify aircraft, go ahead and use text. For me it is however big time immersion killer. I like the realism of no text around planes, even if it would make it unrealistically hard to identify planes. So I trade difficulty for realism even though it appears that it is unrealistically hard to identify planes. I know that is now hard to understand for some

You just do what you want and enjoy the game how you want. That's why we have plenty of difficulty settings. If we get more like suggested in the beginning of this thread, fine. But if we lose "hard" difficulty settings, that is not good. At least not good for me, and I hope I am not the only one wanting and enjoying "hard" IL-2.
