S.Alex Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Icons aircraft, UFO and crash-lands now the same - no matter how we change the scale of Geomap. I think it will be better and more logical, if at a distance of map this icons will decrease, the approach - increase. What do you think about this?

Gorlom Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have no Idea what you are asking for. Could you post it in Russian so that some of our more fluent English speaking Russians can translate it? Is it something about the size of the UFO icon? Is it to small or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 What I got is that the icon should get bigger as you zoom in. I like it is as - at each size it's easily clickable and hides the minimum amount of terrain behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Alex Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 What I got is that the icon should get bigger as you zoom in. Yes. The size of the icons can keep as is with maximum zoom in, and with maximum zoom out - reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I don't see the point of that. It's a marker on a map, indicating a location. It is not a representation of the size of the airplane. I forsee the icon scaleing will cause problems with it being to small when zoomed out and covering other items when zoomed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I understand what you're saying, but I don't think would be a good idea - they stay the same size for usability reasons (and the icon scaling would be difficult too, as Gorlom says).

S.Alex Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 they stay the same size for usability reasons But in UFO:Enemy Unknown icons on geoscape were even less, and it does not prevent usability and the icon scaling would be difficult too, as Gorlom says If make it difficult - ok, let everything remains as it is. But then scaling of geomap loses certain meaning. Why increase the zoom, if you can see all of the maximum zoom out? Besides, change the size of icons in the scaling a more logical and... beautifully, imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
