Hay thanks Cap :salute

the .help command isnt even on that list, thats how messed up those help pages are :D    most of the area's are so basic with the help they leave out much needed info, youd think they would update those pages :pray

FYI .sr (squad roster) is in fact on the dot commands page, from when I updated the page to reflect the newer cross arena commands  :salute

The .target command is available on line. You can use it in the main arenas. When you type .help and bring up the clipboard, the list of commands available to you for the arena should be listed.

.country is also on that page. 

I'll have to add .target sometime, I didn't realize it was missing.

.target Number (number being distance in yards)  Brings up a target due North of you at your altitude.  .target 0 to turn it off.

Many of the commands shown in .help can only be used by a CM or squad CO.  The .help command itself just downloads a text file from the server, hence it does not work offline.

i had hoped that the .target was a form of lead indacator in off line practice shooting at planes from a GV,  didnt know what it was or what it did.

lead indictor is the "friendly Lock" feature it is toggled on by pressing ctrl+tab, then press tab to select the plane you want too shoot. This feature helped me alot when i was figuring out the lead and ballistics. :salute
I know it works online in the Training arena. It may also be available offline I'm not sure. :aok

The lead targeting site can be enabled in options>arena setup>environment>arena tables.

I've created a Dot commands (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Dot_commands) page on the wiki.

Several of these need expansion/correction, and there are probably some not listed here.

Anyone with a forum username can edit the Dot commands wiki page (just like most other wiki pages) - if you see something that needs correction/expansion, please do so.

The help and training pages are in the (slow) process of migrating to the wiki; one of the reasons for that is that it's much easier to keep things up to date on the wiki.

Doh, just looked in on this thread and noticed the key piece of information missing from that.
