I'd like to see some kind of map plotting tools and geometry instruments as well. I'm not in a hurry and i don't expect it on the initial release version, i'd just like to see it sometime down the line.
Imagine something like the navigator's maps in Silent Hunter 3. Stopwatch, pencil, eraser, ruler, compass, protractor, bearing overlay tool and a nomograph. In fact, a lot of these were not in the original SH3 but modded into it by the players, before the developers incorporated all of them into the game with a later patch.
It would be very nice having the ability prepare a flightplan before the mission and still be able to change things while flying it. Or even better, a flight plan that can be posted in the mission lobby when we are flying online, so that other people can download it and then also change it, etc. Think of it as a text/html file that can be created, edited and distributed from within the simulator's interface. It would do wonders not only for coops, but for objective based DF servers with realistic flight times as well.
