Texashawk -> Is there a way to filter the map view by unit class/type? (3/21/2020 9:57:47 PM)
For example, if I wanted to only show air radars, or just airports, or just surface ships. This seems like it would be extremely handy (for example, when planning SEAD missions) but I can't seem to find a way to filter the view this way. Any help would be appreciated - I'm sure I'm missing something basic! -Steve

I see the advantages for having more view-filter possibilities, especially with large number of different tracks. with regards

How would this work UI-wise? I am imagining a huge tickbox option screen and I don't know if that's a great thing to have.

I'm not sur if there is already a filter function in the game. Might be a operator on my side. If there lots of contacts on the screen and I wanna do a single warfare it might be nice to view-filter out the other environment tracks. No big thing just nice for me.

So I'm going to assume based on these answers that there is no map filtering currently. What I would do (I'm a professional game designer and programmer) to make this functionality simple is this: Add a new section on the unit tooltip with 5 options: -Show only this unit type -Show only this unit class -Do not show this unit type -Do not show this unit class -Reset all filters It's not perfect and obviously you can't have too many filters but I think most people would just use it for target and mission planning. It probably actually belongs on the wishlist but here it is. Thanks! -Steve

To the right of the "hide short cut bar" there's a big giant space...I can imagine moving the blue arrow to the right far enough to accommodate a set of buttons each of which has the icon for a type of unit on it...those could be highlighted or greyed out to reflect what's displayed. Or if that's too busy perhaps a single button there that brings up a pane with an array of buttons that you can pick and mix from. Bonus for making the symbol images follow the NTIDS preference selection.
