Channel Command to be released this weekend

[adonys]

I remember I've tried to have a look at the current active objectives, but it wasn't so simple: both because of the way to ask for, and the way the output was presented.

A fast, simple way to bring up the current active objectives would be of a great help for everyone.

I agree, checking active missions and then chosing one in the menu as it's own rider would be simplifying usage quite a bit.
I have to admit I got quite confused witht eh current system. Not to a degree that I couldn't figure it out, eventually, but it took a while.

It's hard to please everyone....

Ok I may make it easier. Just remember there can be 3 current missions at once. And until we can display multi lines on-screen I have to break it up to 3 menu options as the width of the screen is not enough.

So Maybe next week I will adjust the menu. It is not a 5 min job. Maybe 6-7mins.

Edit: See below: 'Work in Progress'

Don't sweat it Wolfy mate. Tell 'em about 'Work in Progress'. It's quite a famous phrase on this forum!

No stress, Wolf, merely a suggestion here, no pressure attached. If you manage to implement it, great! But that is critique on a very high level. I am just glad we finally get such an online environment to begin with =)

Regarding better briefings.

I was told by the devs that a submission briefing if exists is loaded with any submission. This makes possible to use C# to generate a text file current.briefing for instance and load it with an empty submission every time objectives change.

The briefing then can be viewed both in the main menu and in the inflight-map window (RMB click -> Show briefing). A short prompt can be shown in chat window saying that objectives have been updated.
