Hey TD ..! Another is this doable post!

[Bearcat]

That is exactly what I am talking about.. so is this coming or is it doable now? Also a way to set the default measurement.. so that say if I wanted it to stay in feet I could set a setting in the config so I would not have to changer it every time I get in a plane.. I thought there was a mod that did that that either you or Fireball did a while back.. I may be mistaken though.

Bearcat has his own 'Wishlist thread's...

LoL.. I never looked at it that way.. I guess I didn't want to wish for something that was not doable.. so I wanted to find out if it was even doable..

This can be added in first patch after 4.12. If this is tied to speedbar setting than units are automatically converted when you change speedbar setting to your likings.IIRC speedbar setting is rememberd so as long as you are using same speedbar setting, icons use same type of length units.

Better option would be to put this in config or in icons file, that way people could have different units in icons and speedbar.

Could the icon settings be done by a Gui? I know you can set stuff using console but a giu to set dot range, type would be usful for me.

I think that is in IL2 Stab.. or maybe the other one.. but one of them already has this .. so it shouldn't be too hard... TD's biggest problem is finding the time to do all this and still eat and keep a roof over their heads.. ... LOL

A GUI for the config.ini seems like a good third-party project, especially for a relatively inexperienced programmer.

I know that the option to change at least part of the config.ini using a GUI is available in IL-2 Manager PF, but it's getting very old and doesn't allow you to change all options. Another stand-alone product which alters config.ini using a GUI is IL2set, which is part of the IL2 game.

It would be cool if TD could actually integrate complete control of config.ini as a GUI interface within IL2 itself, but they've done so much to improve the GUI for 4.13 that it's possible that they've already done what we're wishing for.

My programming experience is incredibly old and BASIC (in more ways that one), but it's not that hard to allow editing of a text file database via a simple computer program. Likewise, it's also not that hard to get a computer program to report some piece of info as a text message or turn off messaging. Programming stuff to move realistically, or adding new functions to a program is the hard stuff. And bug-stomping is just an exercise in alternating frustration and tedium.
