I honestly liked the previous one is there any way to change it back?

[rubyfox 11]

Is there an option to change it back to the old UI? I'm not really a fan of this new one...

[Faster_Boiiiii 753]

the new UI  still  has the issue of showing too large seekers.

why introduce it again when it still has bugs

I would also like it if the missile seekers kept the white color or at least could be changed with a seperate option. Currently they're the same color as the radar screen which is really annoying

[TheCloop123 2,780]

UI change is somewhat nice, glad you made the colour for AAM seeker cone be different to the UI for parameters, currently a bug though. If you have Walleye's equipped and get a lock, it sifts the number next to the text over by 1 or 2 units because it tries to fit the "track" text within the GBU and Value space when you lock a vehicle up

[laachta 297]

I find the new UI easier to read so definitely an improvement as far as I'm concerned.

 

However, is it intentional that there is now no color indication that a missile is locked and ready to be launched? Previously the whole line turned red but that doesn't seem to be the case any longer. Which is especially confusing in case of radar-guided ones because unlike the heat seeking ones they also don't emit that growling sound. So right now there is simply no way of knowing what the actual state of the missile is.

The text and timer for Torpedoes no longer exists in the UI. I've tried multiple aircraft along with multiple loadouts i.e. rockets and torps, torps only etc. Everything else shows up except the torpedo text - the torpedoe counter - and the reload timer. I guess one of the devs forgot to include torpedoes 

[yaXamp 7]

there is literally nothing wrong with the old UI, please change it back !!! or alteast give us the option to use the older version.. PLEASE

[ÖL 613]

the new UI is objectively better, thanks.

[Senor_Torpedo@psn 25]

The new UI doesn't show the reload time of bombs or torpedoes on planes in naval AB. Is this a bug or a newly implemented feature? It would be helpful to see how long it takes to be rearmed. Thanks

[ValenceElectron 1,868]

Isn't it just easier to implement a Legacy and New UI option instead of changing it every week. Many still prefer the old look, including myself. 

[Deirdre_Ambre 4,164]

Is there a way to get the reload timer of bombs, rockets or torpedoes in arcade mode ?

[CertainDeath777 49]

the new UI looks so sharp, really sexy. i cant believe how much difference it makes, really nice.

[Heero1981 4]

Same, I like the bigger font of the old UI text. At least an option to adjust the size of it would be nice.

[LoWMaG 1]

Please give an option to have the old UI, to be honest I absolutely hate the new one..

[TragedyInToilet 2]

Any changes only make sense when done right. Current aiming markers for bombs in AB are week. Not only the green color is completely inappropriate (previously red or even older yellow were much better), it does not work properly. it is completely unknown when to drop the bombs (currently the marker does not change color at all). Is there any hope of going back to the previous version or at least fixing the current one?

[BoogaRoo 0]

The color for the WEP indicator is way too red. Also, for planes without WEP but with 110% throttle it now shows white. It should still be showing red.

The overheating red color is also way too red and does not seem to match the in game color selector.

The ammo reloading indicator is now white, which makes it really hard to tell without a closer reading if you're reloading or not. Please restore the red color for reloading.

The bomb impact marker color in Air Arcade should be selectable. Green is too low contrast since 90% of the ground is green. Please restore the white color.

Nooooo!!!   

 

• WEP red is far too bright.

 

• Bomb sight green is also too bright, and also it's GREEN, like a lot of the terrain below us. There's not enough contrast now.

 

• The ammunition reload timer doesn't change to red when I do a manual reload. It only goes red if ammunition is run down to zero and the reload starts automatically. As a frequent manual reloader this is a bit annoying as I now have to keep watching it, rather than having the peripheral vision of the colour change to let me know I'm good to go.

 

Please please PLEASE change things back to the way they were, or at least make it customizable, so we can adjust to suit.

 

I'll trade you for my Holiday fireworks?

Ammunition reload clarification (there is a difference between manual and auto reload)

Hello,

can someone tell me what the launcher is downloading?
Playing was installed as well as the last update.
And why is the file so big???

Please help

Greetings Patrick

Hi Stona, I am wondering why the helicopters parameters are not positionned top-left like the airplanes one? I think it would be better for visibility.

[OnkelFester 1]

I'm not sure if it's a BUG or "feature" but others mentioned it here as well.
I would like to add that I agree.
Lock On AAM no longer indicate text that the missile is locked on. 
When I activate the seeker for a Sparrow Missile, I get the "PWR" txt, but after that there is no text to notify I have a missile lock. 
The IR missiles get "TRACK" when locked on. 

Currently it is impossible to know when you have a lock in Simulator battles with a sparrow.

Please fix.
