Air Warrior User Preferences - Flight Window
Click on each tab to see that page of 'User Preferences'.
These are my 'Flight Window' settings. The main things to note are that:
- 'View Optimization' is set to 'Full Screen Mode' or F7 view, which I use all the time. Yours should be set to whichever view you use the most. 'Normal Mode' for F5, or 'Combat Mode' for F6.
- You can change the colour of your 'Full Screen Text'. I find 'White' is the most visible unless I am in a JU88 where the text merges into the canopy frame. Others find 'Red' is best. It depends a lot on which aircraft you fly the most, and whether or not you are colour blind [g].
- Under 'Tagging F3' 'Use Abbreviated Ranges' should be unchecked. When it is unchecked your enemies range wil appear as 1,800 (yards) 1,500, 1,200, 900, 600, etc. If it has a tick in it your enemies range will be 3k, 2k, 1k, and then you are usually dead.
- Having 'Use Short Identifiers' checked will save your view from becoming cluttered.
- If you tick 'Tracking Icons' to put them in 'Reverse' mode the icons are displayed within a small coloured box and rendered in reverse video.
