Some time ago in one of the subsim fora I suggested that someone put together a small mod that would permit the user to "write" to the nav map, ie, drop a special icon, or color spot, to record where an air contact occurred: or 'mark' on the map where a taskforce was encountered, or a destroyer, or whatever. This could be in the form of having available different colored icons, or simple drawing ability, or...whatever...I'm not a graphics programmer. I would like to be able to mark contacts with an arrow indicating direction. I am sure actual navigators and captains did this routinely. Of course, it would be grand to also put text in re: time of contact, speed, etc, etc. But let's start slowly.
Any of you have any comments?
