Persistent F10 map settings

[FalcoGer]

Whenever I join a multiplayer server the settings for my F10 map are all different, and different between each time I first open the map. Sometimes sensor rings are shown by default, sometimes not, sometimes threat rings are shown, sometimes not, sometimes labels are shown, sometimes not.

And all the time I have to click on the range/bearing tool icon, it is never on.

It's confusing and unnecessary.

I would like an option to change the setting in the options so that it defaults the buttons to a specific state and I would furthermore like the option to have the coordinate system displayed in a specific format on an per aircraft basis. For example MGRS for A10C or F18 but L/L Dec for KA50.

I would also like buttons or a drop down list to change the coordinate format more easily without having to remember such obscure key bindings like left alt + z, which is a bit hard to do on a german keyboard anyhow.

The range/bearing tool should be always on, the button can be removed, there is literally no point in having it disabled, the right mouse button does nothing with it off, so it might as well just have that function by default.

Agreed, the settings should stay persistent.

And there's no real reason for the range and bearing tool, just unify it with the mission editor with the middle mouse button and dragging.

Agreed, and I'd extend it to the range and bearing tool to use distance units as used in aircraft, as well as having it selectable.

While I don't have an issue with LAlt+Z, a drop down menu would be more convenient.

Agreed.

Well since we're on it might as well include a true and magnetic switch option.

+1

Though not sure if true north is really a thing in DCS, owing to the flat-earth implementation, not too sure.
