"Show Object Names" option is not working

[343KKT_Kintaro]

In the realism options it is possible to untick the "No Object Icons" option. This has to be done before a mission begins and allows the player to see other aircarft's labels. This is fair enought to me if some players (or servers) want to show the labels... BUT, having previously unticked "No Object Icons" in the realism options, once you are flying the mission you can't enable or disable the labels while you are flying: opening the proper window with the left button in the mouse this unveils the option "Show Object Names"... but it doesn't work. Please see the two below screenshots:

 

 

 

 

You see? Unticking and ticking back the option "Show Object Names" doesn't change anything, we simply can't switch from showing the labels to no showing them, the labels of those two Foat BR.20M are permanently visible. Is this a bug? If it is a bug, I'll report this in the bug tracker.

Hilarious how much these picture with those icon texts trigger me ?

Yes, same for me, but I'm asking the question for a mate.

Mouse Right Click menu "Show objects names" has nothing to do with with planes labels (that neon like names floating on screen above planes).

 

This option is more for help script makers pick objects "short names"*, if this option is not ticked, you will see - in that menu only,  the objects types instead, e. Spitfire Mk.Ia instead "BoB_RAF_F_FatCat_Early.000" (*yes, "short names" is longer).  

 

 

If what you want is turn off/on planes labels after un-tick "No Objects Icons" in "Realism" > "Visual Aids", need use console

mp_dotrange commands. Remembering that in CloD this option is server controlled.

 

Open console (set a key in Controls > Game) and type:

 

help mp_dotrange for see options. Anyway:

 

 

More about use and customization, like hidden the fool ID: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5185&p=53375&viewfull=1#post53375

 

In il-2:46 are a key for turn labels ON/OFF and don't show fool info like plane squadron letters (ID), but CloD take a steep back in this matter (and il-2:GB two).

In the above link an option for set a labels ON/OFF key using XPadder, with little game delay.
