Question/Request

In Hornet Leader PC, you command a squadron of the U.S. Navy’s elite F/A-18 Hornet Strike Fighters! You select the pilots and arm the aircraft based on real-world mission briefings. Once you reach your objective, you evaluate threats, and do what needs to be done to destroy the target!

Question/Request

Post by NefariousKoel »

I noticed that when in target area, some pilot's names are in italics. What's the reason?

Also, if possible, could we have pilots' names who are at low altitude Italicized instead? It would make it much easier to tell who is where by looking and not having to click through each A/C to check altitude. I'm a multilayer attacker at times.[;)]

I'm thinking...
Red name = High altitude
Green name = Low altitude

Hate to nitpick, but have to toss in a preference request.  To me, it would be intuitive for someone at low altitude to be red, as that is a much more dangerous environment in today's battlefield, while green would signify high altitude.  My .02, fwiw.

Yes rebel, but when I think "ground" and "grass," I think Green! [:'(]

Besides the units have the red and green arrows already, switching those would be confusing.

Even better!

Good to see there's agreement about having such an indicator, though withe the background red might not stand out on black, much less if the optinal background enabler will be in on the next patch - colors will vary then.

I still vote keeping them all the same color and italicizing but any type of indicator would be welcome.
