Large bish noe mission shows on radar

Go to your clipboard.
Go to look at the arena settings and see the radar alt and sector counter alt.

Run film next time.
Check film and look at the exact altitude of the planes involved.

No guesswork needed.
No tinfoil hats needed.

If there's a legit issue, this evidence will help HTC fix it.

In relation to this, last night I was having Enemy Radar dots showing up on the map at an airfield with no Radar.  I asked on local, and quite a few other people saw this same thing.  They eventually disappeared after about 3 or 4 minutes, but long enough for me to get a very good idea where the guy was hiding to pick people taking off in sector.

Sounds like shades of Titanic Tuesday to me...  The radar often got wonky during Titanic Tuesday.

Maybe we are seeing population growth in game...  Wonder when we will hit that Toxic level that triggers the split arenas again.

I'm still trying to figure out why I can hear a 163 as he intercepts me at 35k feet before an enemy dar bar displays.

10mins delay in darbar IIRC

[RTHolmes]

so no one has actually bothered testing this to find out if there is a problem with NOE since the patch.

seriously?

Really? That seems a bit long. Maybe check arena settings from the clipboard to see the radar delay setting. I'm at work now, otherwise I'd do it myself.

I doubt that's the case, it changes way more often than that.  It's what it was set to in FSO last series, if that's what Noir's thinking of.

I bet they blamed the spies

lmfao they chose a couple of different things to say mostly spiez and me being a cheater

you have it all wrong......... its not too many players in one arena and the obvious fact the game cant handle it that triggers the split........... its all about player attitude because of the numbers <wink>

as far as the radar goes.......  I can never remember a time that the radar functioned 100% properly...... weve always had phantom darbars or unexplained occurrences

[321BAR]

Um... the NOE altitude is 250ft for the radar bar, and 65ft for the radar ring.

Nothing has changed.  The **icon** range was halved for NOE aircraft.  That is it.

NOE dar bar is 500 and always will be. its never been 250

[Rob52240]

Sector counters are for planes above 200 feet.
Radar Dots are any plane above 65 feet within 12 miles of a functioning radar.

last time i checked it was still at 500?

Here is how it worked under the old rules.  I thought I read they changed something with this latest update but I need to reread it to figure out exactly how it works:

(The radar type the plane shows is listed underneath it.. otherwise the picture is pretty self explanatory)



Funny thing is that when I uploaded this picture, this was my capcha!  Cool!

This should answer once and for all.  This was captured at 21:20 on 01/28/2012 from the Late War arena. Dots on radar show for planes above 65' AGL, darbar shows for planes over 250' AGL.
