Hi,
A few things I wish I could do when I play IL-2 -
- In the multiplayer arming screen or QMB I always wish I had a "shortlist" of favorite planes. The list of planes has gotten so massive (and thats a good thing) but sometimes I just wanna swap out planes and head back in quickly without having to scroll through a mile long list. So like a "top 5" plane list, or "Favorite" whatever, would be a cool feature. I'm picturing possibly a tickbox on the planes info page to add to favs. and those would show up on a seperate drop down list or something like that.
- HUD optional filters. What would be REALLY cool is to have the ability to toggle what types of messeges show up in the HUD text. The new CEM is great fun, but man... I GET SO SICK AND BLEEPIN' TIRED OF SEEING "OVERHEAT" CONSTANTLY SHOVED IN MY FACE WHEN MY PLANE IS NOT BLEEPING OVERHEATING ... Seriously. Yeah yeah, noHudLog=1 yes. But when I go to playback my ntrk I really want my time speed messages and other messages. So turning HUD entirly off is not 100% a solution. I'm thinking just some conf.ini toggles as to what information we would like the HUD to show or not show would be super handy. Heck, even an in game toggle for HUD on or off would be fine. Like say, a toggle switch in the realism or track playback options - preferably hotkey (on/off) programmable
- And on the topic of hot keys. The list has grown so long I always wish I had collapsable sub-lists. For example, I use TrackIR so all of those entries about mapping view keys I'd like to condense so I can get to through the list faster. I am envisioning a simple [+] and [-] style collapsing heirerarchy structure like Windows Explorer with perhaps an "expand all" and "close all" options. Simple and effective.
There you have it, nothing too fancy.
As always, I wish to convey my apreciation to Diadalos Team for keepinig my "old girls" in the air.
