Author Topic: Poll - Kill in flight radar dots or not? (Read 1405 times)

Having a taste of no nme inflight radar dots due to a rather fortunate "bug", what do you say?

1. Eliminate all dots (in tower and in flight)
2. Eliminate con dots (in tower and in flight)
3. Eliminate all dots (in flight only)
4. Eliminate con dots (in flight only)
5. Keep dots

I vote #4

## Edit -
As of Bodhi's post (reply 83) the count as near as I can tell is:

0 votes for 1. Eliminate all dots (in tower and in flight)
1 vote for 2. Eliminate con dots (in tower and in flight)
12 votes for 3. Eliminate all dots (in flight only)
13 votes for 4. Eliminate con dots (in flight only)
26 votes for 5. Keep dots
Of course there were some alternatives proposed but it seems about 1/2 of us are for keeping the current system and 1/2 of us
are for making changes).

Keep Dots!!

They nicely represent the real info WW2 pilots often had for intercepts.

The ground countrol could say enemy AC at 20,000 feet, sector such and such, heading so and so, speed so and so, over this landmark and the pilots could find it nearly perfectly.

Plus in RL vision at high alts is very much longer than we see the black dots on our monitors.

5. Keep the dots.

Just delay their update 30 seconds or so, to eliminate "dot SA".

The MA dots are fine as they are. If you don't want your opponent to have in flight SA, bomb the hell out of his HQ.

On a very interesting and unrelated side note, there's a video on at work right now talking about the best practices for use of email and the internet.
