Savvy Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 I've noticed recently that the information on the briefing screens is very cluttered with too much information on the one page. This really shows on multiplayer servers where the listed rules/info are largely ignored. The same issue is apparent on the Knee-board with the large number of pages required lots of next/prev page clicks to find the page you're after. A possible solution would be the introduction of folder 'tabs' to both of these features, tabs which could be labelled as required by the mission editor. The briefing could have:- Introduction | Rules | Radio Freqs | SRS Freqs | A customizable knee board could have:- Mission Detail | Radio Freqs | Airfield Maps | Area Maps The Knee-board could have two extra keys: Tab-next and Tab prev. So you could quickly jump to the required tab then scroll to the page - without having to scroll through 20 pages to get there. Could page one of the Airfields tab always default to the airfield you take off from? I know the knee board is editable but the logic could be: If the tab name =="Airfields" and a page/file name matched the name of the starting airfield then it could go first in the page array. I'd also like to be able to move the Knee board around in the 3d space. In VR it's a bit of a pain not being able to position it down in your 'lap'. As I understand it, the knee board is currently part of the UI layer which would mean this is not possible without it being moved out of there and into the 3d space. How about some feature creep:- The mission tabs and pages could be replicated onto a wall in a 'briefing room' with the mission lead being able to switch tabs and scroll pages while explaining in comms/chat what's going on. In multiplayer a player with required perms can create a mission, set a room, set the aircraft, number of pilots, then wait for players to join in. The waypoints for the mission could be copied from the mission leads current waypoints as set in the F10 map - to save having to build an entire in-game mission maker.
Eaglewings Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Brilliant idea. Got to agree it take quite a lot of page turning to get what you want on the kneeboard. Wish it can really be done.
