Hi Oleg,

A lot of great new features; looking really good. These features would be nice:

- File | Open opens at the last opened directory.
- The Object window remains opened after running the game from the FMB then returning to the FMB.
- Map icons show the direction of the runways.
- Waypoints show heading angle and altitude when selected. This would help a lot with writing briefings.
- A waypoint route can be summarised in text, again for briefings. Kind of like SOW's version of "Get Directions" in Google Maps, lol.
- A print option from the Briefing screen.
- As mentioned by others, at least the ability to add images to briefings (for 'recon' and 'intel' photos). Being able to add video would be a nice extra, but photos would be a huge improvement over just text.
- Biggest Request: Please remain open to feedback after release and budget time to add further features in the future! Thank you!!

Other Things
- Weathering and Fuel would be faster to enter as specific numbers rather than fiddling around with a slider control; or use both.
- "View a list of all objects in the mission." would read better as "View Mission Objects".
- Does 'Delete All' have a confirmation step?! Two?

Thanks for reading,

For all those that don't remember, it was confirmed long ago by Luthier that we will be able to add images to the briefings.
Can't tell about videos though!
