Would a "Mark Position" function be useful?

Once you have selected a contact (most likely an enemy) you would press the Mark Position hot-key, and the sim would automatically create a reference point at the contact's positon and label it with the contact name, course, speed, depth/alt, and the time the waypoint was created. The reference point name would be editable by the normal method if you needed to change it.

This would be useful for scenarios where you are tracking contacts to try and establish their route or patrol zones, or are trying to keep tabs on contacts where you only have intermittent sensor coverage.

(You can do this manually, of course, but it's a somewhat slow process, particularly in large scenarios with numerous contacts. This would be much quicker and more user friendly.)

Seconded (although I haven't been able to vote for a few years now...)
This would be a great feature

I like this idea a lot. Added on dev builds and you should see it on one of the future updates.

It is more and more important to hide an approach to the enemy behind mountains and in valleys.
For me it is not easily to see elevation model in game.

An relative easy fix would be an optional addtional map with color shaded elevation model (e.g. every 30ft change colorton within green and grey)

That would be for make an optional route to the target

Thank's

I would love to see the 'specific range' listed in the database. That's... the amount of fuel consumed for a given distance. It could *easily* be calculated based on the KTAS and fuel consumption already provided in the database.

I think this would be incredibly interesting and illuminating for both the player and scenario designer.

I also would like a way to see... the 'visual horizon'... in other words... how far the mark one eyeball can see based off the curvature of the earth. Similar to the 'radar horizon'... it would be awesome to have the visual depicted based on the platform's altitude and/or mast height. For example, sea-skimming missiles are often not visible until (something like) 25NM out? It would be great to have a UI depiction of just how 'far' the ships and platforms can see in perfect visibility (clear bright day) based on the curvature of the Earth.
