chardly38 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 With more aircraft being added to world more icons will be added to the main menu. I think would be nice to have an option to remove the icons from the main screen. As time goes along the main menu will get cluttered. I dont think Im the only person that doesn't like clutter. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_CREATED_USER_NAME=chardly38&set_filter=Filter&set_filter=Y"]MY SKINS And Helios i7 2600k 3.4 quad w/ Hyper N520 cpu fan_, Asus Sabertooth z77_, RX 580_, Corsair Vengeance 1800 8Gb ram_, 112 OCZ Vertex 3_, Corsair HX 1000, 3 screens res 5292x1050_,and 1 1680x1050 Helios Ir Tracker 5 with Pro Clip_,Hotas Warthog#12167 ...

Metal Hawk Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I agree. I understand that ED is a business and want to advertise their products but most of their customers are fully aware about every single module that comes out (or is about/planned to be). In the main screen there should only be the modules that are available to play. It's a start screen. If a module hasn't been bought then it can not be started. So it really has no place in the start screen. We have the Module Manager for that. It can also be a single icon saying something like: "See what else is available..." and the user could click on it to see the rest of the modules. Kinda like the news on the left. The user can click to show/hide the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Python Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't mind them for now, but I do agree if a lot more stuff is released it would be nice to have the option to remove them. I think most of us will own the majority of them but things like combined arms can vanish and I'd be happy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Agreed, very much a needed option. As someone who only has A-10C and CA installed (own Ka-50 but don't even install it any more), having numerous icons for things I'm never going to buy/install is a bit of an irritation. A long way down the to do list though, given the amount of time spent looking at the single player main menu screen.

Other than a being a constant reminder of items you're not interested in and will not purchase, it really serves no purpose. The same can be said for samplers (P51). Make them downloadable instead of injecting them in releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Go to the Module Manager and uncheck the aircraft you don't want to show up. It should remove the icon from the "main menu screen.

LFCChameleon_Silk Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 i was under the impression that the whole point of that pane was for the news and for the modules released... what a waste of man power for something so trivial, and i hate to say it but I would rather them seperate FC3 into seperate plane icons as well (aka more icons) although i admit that thats just as trivial as saying i cant see the unused bottom of the image on the main menu.

ED Team NineLine Posted June 2, 2014 ED Team Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) That seems odd, what did you uncheck? I tried unchecking the TF-51D and it acted like Paul said it would, I dont see an issue.

chardly38 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Or have ED give us the option to remove all icons so that with every up date we dont have to mod the sim over and over again.

Metal Hawk Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 But it should not be a mod. With the next little update it will revert back to the same clutter. And you will have to apply the mod again. If you only have one mod that's easy. But a mod here, a mod there... To my experience, for ED, it doesn't matter how trivial or further down the list something is. If they see that it is a matter of a few code lines they make it happen right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
