Thank you.

So maybe fixe the multiplayer leaderboard showing the player selected a TB7, but in the game itself it has the Pe-8 name.

There are other similar cases , e.g. you pick a Hawk-81 it will show that in the player list, but the icons label it a P-40. Various marks of Spitfire just say "Spit" in the icons. A.I C-47s and Li2s are both labelled "Douglas", and so on. They are not wrong exactly, but it would be better to be consistent with the naming I think.

While I'm here - I don't usually have full icons but I set them to default to have a look and had all this waypoint info show up. Does everyone else get this or do I have a glitch?

Icons normally give you info about distance, side (color), plane type, unit. I've never seen mission info like 'T: 103% G: 1.0 STAY_FORMATIONFOLLOW'.

That's what I see, but the plane types are variable, 109 is a Bf 109, but it doesn't tell you which version of 109, "Yak" is any Yak, Yak 1, Yak 3, Yak 9, jet Yak are all just "Yak". MiGs on the other hand you get the number, Mig 3 or Mig 9.

Ah, thanks. After playing with some settings, it turned out to be because I'd set arcade=1 in the conf.ini to do some tests. Combined with full icons, that displays interesting extra info - power, Gs and even what the manoeuvres AI is doing (defence/half-loop/hard turn etc).

I don't know if it's a new feature, I'd never seen it before but then I rarely use arcade=1 or icons.
