wickedpenguin Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Is there a way to display at least the text of the mission briefing after you've already clicked "Fly" and are in-cockpit? If not, I'd like to request that option. The campaign missions are easy to understand, but sometimes the user-created online missions can be a little convoluted. I'd like to be able to go back and refer to them at some point. Maybe a small popup window or virtual kneeboard would work. The map is not necessary - just the actual briefing text. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Panzertard Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 In MP, yes. Press ESC, then select your flight, press FLY - and you can read it. The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
joey45 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 write it down on good olde pen and paper... just like real pilots/soldiers do. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Waldo_II Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 What I do is I'll take a screen shot of each mission's briefing and corresponding pictures, condense the information as closely togather in a single image, and I'll have that image in the background behind dcs.exe. I can Alt+Tab any time to see the photographs/threat lists/etc.
wickedpenguin Posted August 8, 2009 Author Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Escape, Fly Fly. that will do it. Doing that doesn't reset your flight? write it down on good olde pen and paper... just like real pilots/soldiers do. I've done that before, but in the interest of saving the environment (so I can later waste it with Fuel-Air Bombs and CBUs and leave it covered with the smoking hulks of M1 Abrams covered in slowly-cooking-off depleted uranium armor) I was wondering if there's a built-in digital method. What I do is I'll take a screen shot of each mission's briefing and corresponding pictures, condense the information as closely togather in a single image, and I'll have that image in the background behind dcs.exe. I can Alt+Tab any time to see the photographs/threat lists/etc. Hm, good idea. I've got a dual monitor setup (only use 1 for BS - Vista) so that would work nicely.
