UI questions/requests
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2013 4:13 pm
Hi all!
I've now bought Command, and I like it! However, there are a number of UI/information display questions that I have.
I've performed a quick search through the forum but can't seem to find any answers. I apologise in advance if they are there but I missed them.
I'll list them in point form so that if anyone wishes to reply, it will be easier for you to do so [&o]
* Mouseover to display unit information
* Manual entry box for speed and altitude
* Pressing "Esc" closes opened dialogue boxes
* Black information rectangle toggle on/off (BIG one for me)
* Unit/group toggle w/ the ability to select individual units in groups when toggled in "Unit" view
* When clicking on a group (SAG, CVBG, air group, etc) the group doesn't split into it's component units, or the choice to toggle this on/off
* The "Loadout" column in the Air Ops window should show the number of weapons of each type (not sure how difficult this would be to do, but there a number of loadouts with similar names but different numbers of weapons)
* Groups in the Unit Status panel should display fuel (for aircraft) and damage (for surface/subsurface units)
* Drop-down/pop-up for speed/altitude changes for units in Manual control clickable in Unit Status panel
* Map scrolling when cursor touches map edge (maybe too hard to implement now)
* Voice prompts for new contacts/lost contacts/etc; some manner of sound prompt for friendly unit status changes (Winchester, Bingo, engaged offensive, (etc)
* Winchester for only main weapons i.e. aircraft has Sidewinders as principle weapon and fired them all off, it then RTBs Winchester.
There! As I mentioned earlier, I apologise in advance if any of these points have already been covered. Also, if I've violated the forum convention by stating multiple requests/points, sorry for that too!
Cheers!! I'm going to play now [8D]
