4-12 wish list (Merged)

Was just populating a scenario with some details and I realized... it'd be really neat if we could have some flag + flagpole. Historical flags of all nations involved (the German flag could be folded cleverly). Occasionally it'd be nice to fly a flag here or there. The American and Japanese ones are already quite useful in adding to the atmosphere.

Is it possible to implement landing strips like Courchevel or Lukla? Or a landscape surface flattening tool for smoothe starts and landings anywhere?

Could be possible to add images in the briefing???

That would be immensely useful. PNG or JPG images in the briefing space could be used for "recon photos" and the like.

Wonderful idea!

We have tried to add briefing photos and that is not a problem. What is the problem is net transfer of these images if they are used for online gamming.
In essence, that is the same as having custom skins enabled.

Good to hear that FC!!!
BTW, an 1mb image (the same that a skin) with today´s internet broadband it s more doable I think.

Holy s**t! That wolud be a great addition to the game!
For on-line you could define special limitations for size, format etc.

Hope you'll not change that.
To meet a Coca-Cola spitfire or a Blaupunkt Bf109 when playing on line an historical or semi-historical mission is really unpleasant.

I can definitely see where the problems would come in. Would using compressed JPEG or PNG help? We'd be talking about images in the 100kb range instead of ten times that for skins. Course get 60 players on a server and I see the scaling being difficult potentially.

Offline would also benefit. Certainly more practical there.
