zerO_crash Posted March 15, 2024 Posted March 15, 2024 (edited) Hi, I have asked about this before, and I am requesting this again, seeing how more modules get released, and the issue thus gets propagated. My request is for ED to design a specific tab/menu/etc... which will solidify the settings from different modules in one specific, easy to read, place. Currently, modules have settings regarding their intricacies split in two places; the "special options" tab, and under loadout in the mission editor. The problem with this system, is that as more and more modules get released, it gets increasingly harder to effectively design bigger mission (single/multi-player), while keeping all respective settings as desired. This, further goes for hosting mission on multiplayer. My suggestion for an elegant solution, is as follows: Keep in mind, a user might want to host a mission with different module-specific settings, than what their own global settings are. Therefore, let there be two places to setup these special options. GLOBAL SETTINGS - Same as the DCS settings tab today, albeit with all the addtional settings from mission editor, moved in here. In essence, this will be the user default configuration. It allows to setup the module from one specific places. When a user runs singleplayer/mission editor (new mission), those settings are the default setup. MISSION SETTINGS - A completely new tab in the mission editor (preferably on the top pane - general), where a user can open one single tab, and have an overview over all the special options for all flyable modules (even those that the user does not own himself). The idea here, is to allow the user, to alter his/hers special settings in the realm of a single mission, without the need for altering their own preference (Global settings). Here, all special settings which are relevant for hosting a mission (i.e. not types of trim/cockpit shake/cockpit texture/etc...) would be located. The point being, it would allow for a better overview (one place, instead of reviewing each individual aircraft placed in the mission) for the mission maker. Also, this special settings tab, could then be replicated in the server list/briefing, where users could see what specific settings each server is running. With this system in place, you could also feature a drop-down menu in the Global/Mission tabs, basic predefined profiles (concerning all modules): realism, normal, easy, etc... Point being, for those users who simply have not read into these module-specific settings, it would give them a way to have all settings organized based on their preference in simulating DCS. zerO Edited March 15, 2024 by zerO_crash [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
