4-12 wish list (Merged)

[Aardvark892]

I'm sorry if this has been posted already; can't find it through searching the forums:

Some way of setting the speed bar permanently so I don't always have to hit the correct key three times to get rid of it completely? Or at least set it to the type of measurement I prefer, i.e. MPH instead of KPH?

Regardless, Thank You to TD for your current, past, and upcoming work on IL2!

Had the same thought earlier today, and I'll take it one step further. I set the speed bar to whatever measurement system my current plane uses.

If the game could remember speedbar settings per aircraft, like it remembers which loadout you selected in the quick mission builder, that would be most excellent.

Like that idea a lot so simple and straightforward

Some small objects for the FMB
- Lights in blue and yellow
- Pylons such as those at the Reno Air Races

What's wrong with the existing ones?

[-=MadCat=-]

The reno pylons stand only about 50 ft tall (Home pylon little taller).

IIrc the game's race pylons are somewhat about 160 ft tall.
They work, no doubt, but as I work on a reno race course for several years now (little tweaks here and there, continueing to put in more detail, and the lack of time, and with very much time inbetween, thus the "years"), it always bugged me to not have the correct pylons.

It's a little detail and in no way "needed" for the game, besides that there might be VERY few others who'd like to see such an object.

But its "4-12 wish list", so why not express this little wish ^^

A Reno map to go with them would be pretty sweet

+1!

This may already exist .. but how about a way to set the default speedbar (as in mph,kph,tias etc) in the config file. At one time there was a mod for this.. I think it was either FC or the guy who made the by directional radiator mod ... I can't remember his name to save my life.. but there was a HUD mod I think it was called.. that allowed you to do that and you could set it in the config file.. That would be another great feature that shouldn't be too much trouble to add.. also how about the openable canopy thingy on more planes. There was one that conflicted with some other mods.. but if it were added to the stock sim .. I know that is a small thing that to many may seem inconsequential but those are the nice little touches that keep this sim so great IMO.

I'm guessing that this will be next to impossible to do, but it would be great if when you are flying western allied planes, the maps/grids were in miles and the icons (if using) in yards.

Be a real nice touch, its a bit of a pain when flying in a SEOW or something similar, your gauges are in mph, but the grids are in km, especially doing blue water nav.

Just a dream i know.....
