Information Bug
« on: March 25, 2009, 09:06:15 PM »
When we log onto Aces we have the little "hint boxes" that gives us hints to the game.

I saw one the other day that said "To resupply vehicles supplies must be dropped within one mile of vehicle"  The message was pretty close to that.  However this may mislead people.  You have to drop the supplies within 600 meters.

One Mile is definitely to far. One mile is equal to 1,609 meters.
You can however pick up supplies that are 800 meters or less from you.
I have never took notice to this hint, but maybe it says 1/2 mile.

Fixed.  The correct answer is one half mile.  Thanks for the catch.

The whole meter misconception is why I put this in for the first round of help tips.
Icon and gun data distance is displayed in yards.  Altitude is in feet.  A con displaying 2K over head is at around 6,000 feet above you.
