also, i still havent figured out if there is a way to not display planets and suns on the radar? I always get told to check for people behind me in supercruise, and that they are triangles when they have their weapons out...only problem is in my radar i see 24312 planets and suns, and all the ships are hidden behind.
More so - on the busy trading lane toward some distant station ships align in a tight line of dots, all cramped together. And if you chase some other Commander or being chased by him/her - it's quite tedious task to sort all ships through contact list. It's just no way of saying whom of those ships exactly is the other player. They just stick together so tight on the radar that you can't sort them out in a reasonable amount of time.

Well I've always hated Kermit the frog so you just barely escaped my cease and desist letter for the use of a Muppet!
I think if it's a player we should see CMDR XYZ from the outset rather than having to target them.
It does work on my x52. I mean rotary knobs. I use them to cycle ships and hostile ships.
Ah. This has come up over at the DDF, so whilst I'm here...
a) +1 to not adjusting radar range every time I hit an instance.
b) Please can we have a 'linear' mode that means 'linear' in super-cruise? It freaks me out a bit that the scanner shows planets/ships/stars I'm moving away from as coming closer, because the range is being automatically adjusted.
c) Please can we have a 'de-clutter scanner' to remove non-firm contacts and stuff hanging round the edges of the scanner that are superfluous?
d) The 'Saitek rotary knobs for range control' has come up a few times before now, and even got an 'it's a good idea' from someone at Frontier once. Please can this be looked at again?
e) Please can Line-of-Sight be properly implemented for the scanner. How does a supposedly heat-based instrument manage to lock-up other ships through asteroids and station walls. (And for that matter how does the basic scanner lock on to asteroid ring clusters through a star? If anything is going to mess with heat-based (or any other) sensors, surely its going to be a ruddy great ball of fusing hydrogen and helium, kicking off all sorts of radiation, being only 3 light seconds away? )

Yeah it also bugs me that the scanner can show me things further away in SC than in normal space by a factor of a gazillion (or maybe this has been explained), and that I can't target things I can clearly see with my mark-1 eyeball - heat recognition should be a supplement not a replacement.
