zero Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Watching a great tutorial by a gentleman. His eyes is getting bad. Only on good days he could fly without labels He was not sure if he wanted to make more tutorial, because maybe he must add labels. He did not complain, but no doubt he want to dogfight as in old days. Point is: Some use labels for detection only, not complete ID data. Bad eyes. Unable to detect moving pixels. due to bad monitor. Sometimes me too want relax from eye straining, looking for aircraft from above. Solution: Replace text with a simple * in larger fonts. Turn on off with keyboard. Lost sight? Turn on the * for a quick detection, then turn it off again. IMO - A great compromise between playability and realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm not sure if that is a request, or a comment ? Are you suggesting people use a ' . ' as a label (Personally, I use a medium purple '.' for both sides from a certain range, which transitions to a ' _|_ ' in closer & then disappears at a range where I think the default visibility is OK). Or are you asking how to do this ? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure if that is a request, or a comment ? Are you suggesting people use a ' . ' as a label (Personally, I use a medium purple '.' for both sides from a certain range, which transitions to a ' _|_ ' in closer & then disappears at a range where I think the default visibility is OK). Or are you asking how to do this ? Did not know that you are able edit. Please tell us. Turning on off via keyboard in addition will have the same effect as my suggestion. It is on the wishlist. Added feature. Some want full ID labels. OK- not intended to replace this. Keep it as is. Most of us agree that it distracts from realism and immersion. But some need it, not for full ID, but for spotting purpose (dogfight). My suggestion is just spotting. The label is small as possible. Full text replaced with a single *. And can be turned on/off. Intended: Lost target in dogfight? Hit a key, and you see a * - you know where target is. Turn the * off again. The immersion is kept as high as possible.

Hawkeye60 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 +1000 :thumbup: This is a great idea! Perhaps the ability to choose the color? Good for night missions. And JSGME ready! I will put it together if you show me how to do this. I would prefer this to labels any day! (I do not like them) Especially at 61 years old and not the best eyesight to begin with. I need fairly strong glasses. For Normandy a must have! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me.
