[BUG] Airplane icons

[torquil]

This is a bug because bugs suck and ruin the game.

Why are these still here? It limits the application and tactical uses/choices of airplanes in the game.

Why not just provide a training manual to identify plane types/sides based on the colour/outline?

Because the visibility of the aircraft in the game is significantly worse than the visibility of aircraft in real life.

Furthermore, the visibility in the game depends on the display that the user uses.

Thats no reason for having icons, but maybe its a reason for making colours more defined?

We used to do this stuff ages ago in other games, with much less pixels/etc.

Besides, if icons were removed, people would adapt to the new situation and learn to do it anyways.

At the moment, with this icon business; people are god-like pilots who dont need to fly in groups/etc. If CRS really wanted to promote teamplay, they would remove things (like plane icons) which make it a thousand times easier to go it on their own.
