D4n Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) So it saves as soon as the client activated or deactivated the following settings: - show life bar - LL - MGRS - "View detection areas", - "View engagement areas" and - "Show labels, Aerial" - "Show labels, Ground Units" - "Show labels, Weapon in flight" All us MP players currently have to configure those eight settings everytime we launch DCS & join a server, and also when disconnecting and reconnecting those are also always reset...

MadDog-IC Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 So it saves whether the following settings were activated or deactivated in last multiplayer match: - view detection areas - view engagement areas - show labels - show life bar - LL - MGRS I always have to switch off all those 6 settings everytime I do GCI... (it's getting annoying) +1 from me also. Working and testing in Mission editor with AI and I have to click all those things off frequently so I can monitor the mission correctly with out to much clutter on the screen, seems totally unnecessary, would be great to just remember what they were set to.

Eldur Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This bugs me everytime... it randomly is in one of the first two states, and I want it to be like the third one. Due to the random thing it's not even the same clicks... just consumes time. Also, a hotkey to switch between metric and imperial is absolutely needed.

Tippis Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 This is most likely related to how the mission creator's local game options are stored in a file included in any mission they save. Thus, the creator's settings are being forced on all clients and if they want something else — if it can even be changed after mission load — they have to change to whatever they want as opposed to however the creator had it set up. This file and the way it is included and parsed is why you have no option but to force labels on clients, and why there have been persistent issues with things like civilian traffic: setting things on the server makes no difference, and unchecking options in the editor does nothing because the included options file overwrites all defaults on the client's end. It's been like this for years. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziptie Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Don't see what the issue is, you can just deselect them right? It's a rare day that I even use the F10 map, so probably on for me all the time if the "issue" has been going on this long..... You don't have an F10 map IRL, maybe try not using it in the game, for immersion and reality merge?

Ziptie Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It's crucial for GCI though, in PvP multiplayer Sure, situational awareness is mandatory and without it GCI is useless. That being said, to quickly turn off a few settings like detection range upon entering the server the first time really isn't any kind of issue. If a GCI is struggling with that, I'd be concerned with the guidance they are giving me for vectors and other information. My .02 Oh and LotAtc is what is needed, and with this you don't have to worry about the nonsense that may or may not be present via the F10 map. Simple to setup and worth the investment.
