    Hey, loving the map so far, but at the moment, all of the helipad icons on the map really make it a lot more cluttered than it could be. Having a whole bunch of airfield icons for helipads makes finding actual airfields a pain if you dont already know where they are, especially when zoomed out, because the text scales with zoom.

    In any airframe that starts with airfield waypoints, like the A-10, the list is full of them. Makes skipping though to get to an actual airfield a pain. It also makes things like the A-10s DIVERT page near functionless, as it gets filled with the nearest 5 map airfields, which are very often helipads instead.

I could be mistaken, but its my understanding that theres no distiction possible within DCS at the moment, or any way to have them toggle-able, but I think a nice middleground would be having the helipad icons baked into the map, rather than as airfield icons. This way they could be coloured to stand out much less, and not scale as you zoom out.

 

If theres any way to hide them that Im missing though, please do let me know. Its driving me mad on an otherwise wonderful map.

DCS really needs to have a separate icon for helipads and for them to be filtered out for fixed-wing aircraft that list them.
