user adjustable ships display ???

Post by larryfulkerson »

Is there some reason why the ship display can't be user adjusted so as to be able to put it down in the lower left for instance? I'm finding
it a major time waster to have to scroll with the display open just to see the path of the ship on the map. Just a thought.

Remember that the ship/TF/all other windows are not "windows" in the sense of MS Windows. I doubt there's any easy way to make this work.

Yeah, the base code is really quite old.  Amazing what Michael has been able to do with it.

I was a computer programmer way back when I was still working ( retired now ) and I'm pretty sure it can be done. But you're correct that this program looks and acts like a DOS program sometimes. Still, I do like to tinker with code and I'd give my left arm to have the code to this game. It's the best wargame ever produced and it's really not a game it's a simulation and a pretty good one. I'm just saying.....

And you're quite correct that it'd be convenient. No debate.
