for people using Icons/labels

[C6_lefuneste]

Hello,

I am a Icon/Label user but I always find labels too "cheaty" as they are by default in Bos and other sims, because they are displayed on top of cockpit/plane frame

This is even more anoying in 3Dvision or VR, because your eye should have to both accomodate on labels that are collimated far away and cockpit frame that is near of you. That is not possible and introduce some discomfort.

So I made a 3Dmigoto mod that hide labels by cockpit frame and also introduce other features: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30556-3dmigoto-mod-vr/

I did not mention that this mod is working for non VR or 3Dvision user. You just need to install only the IL2Bos part and maybe to apply this fix : https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30556-3dmigoto-mod-vr/page-2?do=findComment&comment=541205 if you have problem with it.

The mod allows this 2 feature that can be used outside 3Dvision or VR:

• Label masking
• Sight reducing/disabling

Both can be toggled on/off by keys press, and keys can be customized.

Thank you very much for this excellent mod. I hope one time all this gets implemented into the game. If I may have some suggestions, here they are:

 

- Object markers are now hidden when their view is blocked by the airframe, but arrows pointing to them at the edge of the screen are still visible. It would be a nice additional feature if also those arrows could be made hidden.

- Dunno whether you have control over the actual appearence of object markers. Would it be possible to customize them to some extent? (See ideas here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/767-thread-gather-your-suggestions/page-17)

 

Of course all this is only worth the hassle if the devs don't do it themselves in the near future. Cheers and thanks again

I can modify some things for icon, but your link does not show what you want, when I used it I get to the entry point of thread "to gather your suggestion"

I already disabled the arrow when disabling waypoint icon (shift U).

On page 17, #642/643.

As to the other issue, are object marker icons bound to waypoint icons? I'll check, and thanks

[C6_lefuneste]

Yes, I disabled waypoint Icon to help me to learn to navigate, but at the moment the text below the Attack waypoint is still displayed....

I do not have reliable information on object distance or type, just label color or symbol...

As a noob I find it too difficult to fly without labels, but too easy with labels (so I don’t learn much).

 

It would be good to have more configuration options for labels. In particilar, only show labels for objects I have a line of sight too. Also good if you could configure distance where labels are shown and how close friend-foe and aircraft type is shown.
