Briefings could be improved Thread - TIE Fighter: Total Conversion (TFTC) mod for Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance

First of all, absolutely love the mod. Amazing job.

My main gripe is to do with how the briefing is handled. When the briefing starts the imperial officer immediately starts talking eventually followed by the shadowy figure if there is bonus objectives. They are talking over a relatively useless screen that only shows some minor details about the mission craft. There is no text on the screen to read along or see the questions asked. For some people not having the text onscreen makes the briefing more difficult to follow.

If you continue to the briefing map it is possible to then click on the commander briefing button and then you can listen to the briefing with the text to read along. So if I want to read along, I have to hear the start of the commander briefing, click the map briefing button, hear the start of the map briefing, click the commander briefing button and then listen to the start of the commander briefing again. It just feels really janky and kind of breaks my immersion.

The briefings in the original Tie Fighter were really immersive so it is a shame to lose that in this version. In the original game you could actually choose which part of the briefing you wanted to hear first, the map, the officer or the shadowy figure. That is not necessary but at the least, I would like to have the text onscreen during the initial commander briefing instead of the pointless mission craft screen.

This is obviously a tiny nitpick. I just want to say you guys have really done an amazing job on this mod and I would love to see little issues like this fixed to make it the definitive Tie Fighter experience!
