Title: Dot Dar
Post by: jthemenway on November 19, 2004, 12:00:48 PM

Took a coupla months off waiting to get a faster machine to run AH2 better. When I came back, noticed that Bar Dar is grey for both side (no big deal) but that dot dar now only shows friendlies.

I assume that this is on purpose for realism. It does raise a few questions

a) What is now the value of knocking out country-wide or local field radar ?

b) are the field radar towers now just decorations ?

c) ww ii radar was not nearly as accurate as dot dar in the game, but at least it indicated general numbers, vector, altitide. Bar Dar just gives you a general idea of numbers within a 25 sq mile area with none direction, alltitude.

Really just more curious about the above than anything else

I had the same problem.  Are you using ATI drivers?  If so, this is your solution: (Dunno how to just link you to the post, but here's the important text anyway)

 Install the latest Catalyst drivers (http://www.ati.com) and be sure to remove the old drivers first. This will correct the problem.
