Options during flight

Hey, i think the possibility to adding several options during flight can be nice and can give to ED a lot of possibility for the future and when an SDK will be available a lot of people can add several things.

Options and informations that i wish to see :

Keymap and possibility to change the keymap.

I think with the actual graphic engine and other we can't change during flight a lot of options like graphic settings, realism and more, but maybe some of can be change like labels, crash RCVR, radio assist, maybe the easy radio too and more.

Sound lvl options can be useful too.

For other options that we can't change, just the possibility to see it (don't mask or delete it, just disable) can be useful for a lot of things if we don't remember the actual setting and for any reason we need to know it.

Buts that's not all, cause possibility to see encyclopedia can be useful too.

And another thing too, possibility to create fast custom profile of loadout for rearming, just new radio option for : rearm with custom profile...And the list.

Custom profile can be nice and possibility to change and edit can be really useful if custom loadout don't be good for the mission that we will use or for multiplayer if for the mission one or several weapons must to not be use...

The possibility to have a little help by consulting official (and maybe other too) manual can be nice, possibility to read any .pdf files put into a specific folder, and for not use 100% of processor by opening a big .pdf like A10C manual, possibility to read it like only one but in several part or possibility to see the same in several part with subcategory (for avoid to see 50 part of a single .pdf and need to search during flying and maybe during emergency the pdf that we need) cause in real life pilot have a manual with emergency procedure, several of it in .pdf that's we can read fast (with minimal of details, just with principal things to do) in a emergency situation can be useful and a lof of people of community can do it.

And maybe the possibility to open a second pdf menu but transparent and with only emergency pdf and too the possibility to click any cockpit's buttons through and with a little area (like right down corner for example) where we have the basic command for the PDF reader can be useful for fast do the emergency procedure without loose time to close and open after for every step cause in real life for manual inside aircraft the pilot just have to look the manual and look at the panel, and same for aircraft without manual inside, pilot just ask to tower/airbase the procedure (a lot of time happen) but just after ear what do he do that and not loose precious time...

A lot of other things can be nice like adding several AI flight or change the flight of one if for example by a bug he be lost and not follow the route (i have already see that) or test trigger, correct it and more things that's can be useful for do a correction without restart, if that's work for multiplayer several things like adding new player aircraft can be nice for example, or possibility to change weather, that's just will slowly change with realist transition from actual to future, possibility to add failures in real time and more...

And maybe the possibility to use all of this option for editing mode, possibility to use mission editor with launcher AND with the 3D application, that's can be nice for everyone who want a 3D editor and for testing if the trigger, the flight or other will work without need to wait 5 minutes the time that's we stop the simulator, we editing it and we restart and observe it again.

Obviously the editing mode must be different to the flight mode by administrator/editor possibility, no compatibility with multiplayer and all possibility of actual mission editor, and things like possibility to change weather without transition and more...

Aye, not being able to change settings - key configs while ingame is a massive step back ...

I have flown with people before who had a glitch (pinky switch was set incorrectly in the sim) and his lighting was not working as a result, however he did not have the pinky switch set on his HOTAS, AND we both had no idea what the defaults might be for keyboard operation....

Of course to change this you must exit the server, close the game, load single player, make the change, close, reload multi, connect, play.

I dunno about the rest of you, but that is a round-about and lengthy (5 minutes?) just to change 1 key

On a totally different topic, might I suggest if not already... Improved server browser WITH SORTING, and options such as 'Show locked' servers'

When I click "PING" I want to have the list sorted Ascending/Descending etc.

I would just like to be able to choose a skin for my plane in multiplayer...like you know...in the old days and pretty much every other sim out there?

Also a great suggestion, have a selection window pop up when you choose your plane, Allows you to load any skin on your HDD

Maybe even have a small repository directory allocated to each game folder, so the game automatically downloads other players custom skins in a read-only format.
