Thanks Donner, for picking this up. I will take the next week or so to sleep over the basic program and interface. Most ideas come to me while I sleep, then the next morning I go 'eureka'!
Some ideas/features I've thought of myself (some ideas require collaboration with and/or permission of the original mod authors):
- Integrated GIEP mod
- Gramophone randomization
- Integration of radio management mod
- As per your 'scuttlebut' suggestion I'm thinking of taking parts of the program online, iow. post patrol logs and reports to a server, so they can be browsed online, or in the program by others. You'd only get access to logs that are in the same time period of your career and/or home port...
- Inclusion of battleflags mod, so that flags get rendered dynamicly onto your active skin. I have DDS/TGA filters and can render files programmatically without problem. If anyone has other ideas based on graphics manipulation, please go ahead and suggest.
- Multiple game profiles each with their own specific settings (you've already got this partially covered with 'Multiple installs')
- Basic options: time compression, game options, graphics options, disable movies, use or not use gu.exe (or schedule it), etc...
- Use recon photo's or screenshots for loading screens
I'll without a doubt come up with more myself, but I rather see suggestions from the would-be users
