Oleg how doable is this?

First off.. I know that there are other threads in here for this.. but I don't want this to get lost in the mix.

Oleg.... how difficult would it be to add certain view functions as server side settings... What I mean is... right now the server can enable or disable padlock.... but how difficult would it be to separate the padlock settings for friendly, enemy, air and ground? As it stands now we do have settable switches in the sim for these functions.. external as well as normal padlock... it would be great if we could split that up... sort of like this:

padlock enabled/disabled : air or ground or both
friendly or enemy or both

in some combination of either of the settings above.


and also external view enabled : friendly or enemy or both


Is that even possible in the sim (46) or is that something that is beyond what 1C is even willing to consider. I think that the addition if possible of those features would be great.. as it is now.. we can set the icons to become visible where we want them.. could the same thing be done for these functions as well even if the separate settings is not achievable? Sort of like... padlock will only work within a certain range.... or externals within a certain range... I have no idea what it would entail... but it could be set in the menu in the same place as the other settings like No Icons, No Padlock, No Externals... but as a drop down sub menu.... and my other question is... if it is NOT possible to implement these features into 46... then can they be implemented into SoW? I happen to like externals.. and the graphics are just so good looking that often if I die an early death... I just like to watch the action. Would it also be able to set externals so that they only become active after you either land or get shot down?
