Idea to alternative to replace AWACS radar

[Kermit de frog]

Short range fast update radar....long range slow update radar....spotlight constant radar...so many options to pick from and also to adjust for game play.

Login and see… it’s not popular lol

This will also remove one of my favorite parts of the game, which is flying to the other two fronts to mix it up with everyone. There’s no way I’m flying five sectors for a Darbar that only updates every minute or whatever it is.

Aldo, most people thought it was a glitch.

The new type radar really sucks no1 likes it. You want to talk realism fixed the absolutely lame collision models/Amazing how 2 planes can collide at an impact velocity of over 600 mph and 1  flys away. Things are just getting stupider here IMO. Someone should admit to the change so we can all despise them. LOL

Especially when the planes are right next to you, you have to wait for the update. That’s pretty silly.

Good job HT proving this was lame all along!

I like the clipboard open when I fly ...

I think this is the issue.  When you have a map that gives real time locations you are effectively playing asteroids not a WW2 sim.  No WW2 aircraft had any way of knowing this information to this level of detail.

I have not played with the new setting, although I did suggest it.  It at least shows Hitech is willing to try change, which is good.  Just got to get players to try as well

This seems to make sense. At long range you'd have a GCI vector and a genera area and as you got closer you'd have visual from you are the planes around you. Would be interesting to see how it works outside of theory.

Lol you guys are so used to having real time tracking, its almost funny.  Guess its time to start using your eyeballs in the sky rather than the clipboard.

Hopefully the settings stay long enough where I can try it out tonight.  I think for this delay setting to work properly, the range should be cut down to 3 or 4k too.

Dogfights via clipboard need to come to an end. Players as individual radar towers just need to stop. Have the radar rings work as they always have with the current radar presentation (icons and quick updates). Change darbar so it updates immediately and make it more robust by dividing the current grids into 4 quadrants so darbar is more effective at finding the enemy without giving away all the information. Pilots need to start using their eyes instead of an iPad.

No Dar and an even a more robust ENY setting (WW1 planes) = Way more fun! If we’re to going eff the game up, let’s go all the way! 

I hear there is way more realism in DCS, all the 1V1 action you can stand.

ITS A VIDEO GAME!!!

Some of you need to get over yourselves a tad. So if I don’t do it without the clipboard open, just because I like to see where people are mostly my own country and what’s going on while I’m flying I’m somehow doing it wrong?

Why would anyone new want to come around here with that silliness.

wow they are even muting/censoring  chat here

I liked the dar system fine.

Sure I can be looking around for 15 minutes before finding a fight or look at the clipboard and know where to go.  If I had to spend all my time looking around, what do I do with my beer, sandwich, snacks, and phone text conversations?

Letting Hitech know that not all of us want it to change.

[Jayz]

The point is the radar setup in FSO and Scenarios is fine and as it should be. however, in the main arena all the new radar just wastes a lot of time looking for a fight and makes it even more difficult for new players to have fun, hence the declining numbers in AH. If you want radar realism come join us in FSO and Scenarios. The Melee is for practice and fun.

WHOA there cowboy.
Next you’ll have 23 pages of insults to how stupid to suggest such a thang.
First they’ll say mutual damage can’t be done and shiw videos of what the distance is online Then when you point out it can be corrected you’ll get how stupid you are that you don’t understand the above.

Then you show code and it comes out it’s a decision not a code restraint.


Lets not mention the game already takes a life with 2 FEs distance differences.

But wait there’s more,…

Next you’ll have the bbs clique attack you because you defended findings against constant insults from,…. You got it,… the bbs clique.

Then you’ll get blamed for a mountain you created on a Fn wishlist request and they will ignore it’s long because of bbs clique attacks.

Oh ya, I held a gun to their heads and forced to create 23 pages of personal insults. God forbid I’m stupid enough to defend myself against the “elite”.
