Exclude helipads from Jester's command circle?

[Amarok_73]

Hello,

Has anybody already tried to customize the Jester's command wheel to exclude from navigation submenu all the helipads and replace them with friendly airfields?

Id suggest to first tell us such things, so that we can remove it for everyone

This one specifically wasnt known to us yet Cheers

Could you send us a mission where this happens? No matter what I try in the ME, I cant get those pads to appear in the list.

I know how to fix the issue, but would like to be able to verify the fix before submitting it

Hi @Zabuzard,

Sure I can share the mission. Perhaps only Syria causes this issue, as it seems, it's the only map having so many H-eli pads.
And related question, is it possible to filter the list of the markers shown in the same menu to the ones created by player occupying the plane? Or if not, to the ones containing specific prefix/suffix?

Not yet, but this is on the list of things we want to do already.

+1 on this, it's quite frustrating.

The helipads is definitely Syria only right now, a recent update introduced a fairly large number of them.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Spawn into Phantom in Syria

2.  Ask Jester to add an airfield to the flight plan, or to divert to an airfield.

Depending on where you are on the map, there will be at least some helipads.  In some places, they are the majority of options.

This was probably the reason.

Yes, Jester polls the list of airfields from the map-data. And helipads are also categorized as airfields (just with some different attribute).

It only happens with map-built-in pads.

Well, you fixed it anyway, so thanks.

I do hope though that UGRA corrects this mess anyway.
