It's all just brown with slight color accents for us colorblind flyers.

I remember a time when you could read final comments and who got the last hangar or dropped the last carrier bomb. I wonder if the scorebox was off to the right back then?

Here is an interesting link that shows A/C across the US - made me want a similar one for our DF display!

Gives location and orientation of planes - neat how it updates.

There are some apps that are supposed to help. I don't suffer from that affliction, so I can't tell. Maybe, I'll try one to see if it changes what I'm familiar with.

Nice link.

As manfred said, I too am colorblind. I have a hard enough time with see the reds against the grass and gray skies. If the sights were red, I'd probably have stop playing.

I can see the dots on the radar and if it wasn't for that, I'd never find a tank. The yellow ranks are what I have to use for planes. Y'all would be in trouble if I could actually see ya!
Fuck this place. Second rate hack playing in a yard that's too big for him.

I want to thank you again for this connection to the "outside" world. I live under the major flight paths between Boston & NYC. I can see the planes & now I can find out where it's from & where it's going. The air emergency notice I get is neat, too. They come in from all over the world!
Plus KARMA! Wish I could give you 2 at once!
