Yet another Hawaii wishlist

I'll keep this one short. 1. Use the number keys underneath the function keys for autochat macros. CTRL-Fx combos are difficult to reach while racing. Not that you should be talking much anyways during the race, but I'd like to be able to quickly tap a key to say "BillC passing low" than play hand-twister in trying to reach a CTRL-Fx combo. 2. More info shown in the race scheduler with the F4 key. While waiting for another race to join, I'd like to be able to see what place each of the drivers in a particular race are racing in and how far back from the leader they are. 3. Text written directly to you should be in a different colour so you don't miss out. Ideally, any text that contains some portion of your username would light up so that it's easier to see when someone's talking or referring to you (so that any text with the word 'Bill' would light up, in my case). All for now. Bill.

I'd like to see skill levels reported in the race reports file. They include incidents, but they don't report skill levels. Unless you know who you're racing against, you never know. I believe the only place they could put this is in the race reports that you can download. That is fine. It would be nice to know these levels in the F2 standings display, but I can live without it. That way you would know if you are coming up on a rookie. For cautions sake. David Martin IVL Series Director dgm26sam

Yeah, this one's a pain. Unfortunately the graphic details are on these keys. I was thinking about buying one of those programmable keyboards just for MP NASCAR. It would also be really cool to be able to watch a race in progress. I'm not gonna do that very often on LD charges, but if the HCS Pro boys are racing, it would nice to see the action.
