dmatsch Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 thirded! I can't tell you how many times I've looked up this kind of info! it would be nice to have this in-game.
Buzzles Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Rather than adding clutter to the existing menu options, I'd just like the link to the DCS Encyclopedia (top of editor) to open in a dialog window rather than take you out of the editor. Much more useful imo, as there's other items in the game I might want info on. 1 Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Frederf Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 The UI for choosing the weapon is not a classroom. Do not try to educate in a UI. That's not what it's for.
cypc Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 +1 Having a tooltip showing up when hovering 1 seconds a bomb or missile, stating "250kg laser guided bomb" or "2000lb GPS guided 'bunker buster' bomb" or "Infrared guided 'fox 2' missile" would be very handy when doubting about certain kind of munition (GBU-31(V)3/B, huh what's that again ?). The UI for choosing the weapon is not a classroom. Do not try to educate in a UI. That's not what it's for. So what is the Windows talk manager ? Cause when I hover memory composition a tooltip shows up explaining me in 2 lines what this is. Most UIs use tooltips like that to be more user friendly, no reason it would not work in DCS too. "You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of preparation."
Jarlerus Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I support something like this =) If it annoys some ppl, put a delay on it, so the tooltip appears after a second or 2. Then the initiated ppl won't see it, when they hastily select their favorite loadout. //Jarl Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify
Bad_Karma-701 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 +1 , Agreed Even though I know most US weapons from memory, historical and some Russian stuff I am not as well versed on so this could be very helpful.

Haukka81 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 +10000 for this Even old janes sim’s have weapon quide in loadout screens. This is really good idea. And maybe option like in Some other sim: filter weapons by target type. Etc..
