Dar Bars Vs Dar Dots
« on: April 12, 2000, 08:40:00 AM »
Hello,

Just a Detail, realy but It's a little anoying for us, Blind poeple    

The Radar Bars in the Map (the ones that give you an aproximate Nr) is now the Same colour as the Dots are...meaning if a red dot is in the Red Bar, you no longer se him....same goes for yellow dots in yellow Bar...

If I remember well, the Bars in previous version were a bit translucid...'t was better. Well, in my eyes I mean

The Institute of Califonia has came up with the followin result doing longtest with side effects on "beangas", IT EFFECTS YOUR EYESIGHT!!

Theres also a swedish radar version called "OGD" (means GOD in swedish!) That can trace gasoutlets.

<Bends down and bows to the ground:Callin out!>

"OH, OGD! Help me now to punish the Rooks and Bishops that are after my Body and want to shoot it full of both 7.7, cal"50 and 20mm! Please preserve the nice paintjob on my 205, keep my wep always goin and load my guns with Fresh ammunition, the fuelgaugemeter in the middle, May my fellow Knights call 6 and cover my weak spots in times during T&B, May the infideling Hawg go away forever from AH! (and if not, make it a undermodeled Lawndart!)". <Right Airlon, Left Elevator, Engine and Rudder.>

Fixed in the patch it looks like.  I could see though the bars to the map below like before.  Also, they made the base numbers in white and easier to read.  It's much nicer.

When .02 came out, and HT was online, someone said "Hey HT, I can't see the dots under the bars"... and he replied "Would transulcent be better?".... "Yes" came the reply. The very next day, the bars were made transulcent.

Ya gotta love these guys.

They are good, but HiTech got a big laugh from me the other day.

I was talking to him about the clipboard and trying to get a handle on all the stuff on it.

I told I would RTM, but he was good enough to start pointing out stuff.

To my surprise, and his too I think, I cannot see the red on the clipboard map!  I am pastel color-blind and we got a good laugh about this.
He would point at a red bar, and ask, "You see that red bar", and i get closer and closer to his monitor, and keep saying,.."there is a red bar there??"  

Basically, I cannot see the color red, when it is over green or brown.  Makes for some fun work flying.  Those red icons completely disappear when I am above em looking down.

Maybe I need to change countries, so I do not have to worry about the red icons,....but then I wont be able to tell when we have enough forces at a base that is under attack  .

Anyway, we both got a good laugh out of it.
