Draw On Ingame Map?

[SIA_ishwhale]

Has this feature been requested by the community? I tried to search for it, but didn't yield any helpful results. When flying with my squadmates, we will go over our mission plan like initial bearing out of the airfield, any bearing changes enroute, rally locaiton should people get shot down or lose the pack, egress bearing, etc. It's impossible to remember this information. As a VR player, it's not really viable to write things down. A feature to drag vectors and type notes onto the map would be tremendously helpful.

 

Thoughts on this?

Another reason why I don't use VR...

Adobe flash player is used for that. Some community members have those tools, but I don’t so I am unsure of the details for using it. I know it’s no longer supported by Adobe but that’s about it.

 

You could use another graphics program like GIMP to draw up notes, export it as an image and then use something like firing a flare to trigger a media player MCU that would display your image on screen.

Is there a way to formally request something? I'm not sure how much traction it would get, but I have so many programs running the background as a vr user as it is. One less thing that would be a great tool for everyone.

 

VR is a wonderfully immersive experience. I know I am at a disadvantage in spotting compared to flat screeners, but the tradeoff is worth it, imo.

There is a program called web whiteboard Ish.  Used to use it back in the day.  Copy and paste copies of the maps, then you can plan routes, write notes etc etc.  Does require alt tabbing out but the whole squadron can see and edit realtime.

 

Now, if there was a whiteboard map option in game!!
