will probally take some flak for this, but can bomber pilots have 3k range enemy icons on to substitute having multiple ppl in the bombers at once whatching all angles?. its kinda hard to whatch all angles at once when your the only person in a bomber that is supposed to have multiple eyes whatching diff angles at a time.
:salute

yeah, that would probably be good, at least if only to get a sense of where they are/where they will be in a bit-->to know which position(s) to cover in
-
ABSOLUTELY...that can be done...
but axis vs allies has nothing to do with the scenario so... :neener:
*thinks someone should have paid more attention to reading rainbow*

sorry i didnt know what to call the curret AvA setup so i just called it BOG since thats what it reminds me of. :lol

just for reference, if you turn it on for bombers, you turn it on for everyone. kind of defeats the purpose.

oh so "the 8th comes over" in the motd escaped detection again...
and uh...if you can figure out how to allow icons (even limited range) for just one type of aircraft...it may be considered at some point.
-
Wish I could help you Tyrannis, as you do have somewhat of a point. However you can't turn icons on and off for one type of aircraft.

Bombers can utilize the F3 mode, which compensates for having multiple crew members scanning the sky.

Is that turned on or off?

its turned on.
i use it but its still not very effective. when i was flying last night i was attacked by 3 fw190s, i was looking around in f3 mode and still couldnt see them till they were maybe 1.5k out.
another question, whats the minimal alt for radar? because i was flying a b25 trying to raid the coms place, and i got attacked by another kw190, shot him down the first time but he upped against me. i decided to land and try to hide from him until he got bored of searching for me. i didnt think he could see my dot on the ground but apparently he could because he went straight for me as soon as he took off and found me pretty easily (even tho i was partially concealed by some trees)

that was me, and u were almost impossible to find on the ground as you saw me flying around for quite a while and being unable to spot you, i even lost you after i made a guns pass and had to spend another min or two re-acquiring.
before you came in, the settings for radar (dot and darbar) were relaxed to help find fights... i guess it was set at 0 alt and full map. it took me a while to figure out you had landed, and then as stated above, longer to actually find you on the ground.

yes it was :salute
eaglehrt was my gunner in my plane, i thought i was being slick by hiding. i was thinking "i'll just hide in the trees like a ninja plane till he leaves".
alot of times i could of sworn you saw me. you flew so darn close. me and eagle got into an argument over it while you were flying too. :lol
me:"uh oh he sees me...."
eagle:"nah no he doesnt"
you:*flying allmost straight towards me*
me:" no eagle he sees me. *@*!*&"
eagle:" no he doesnt stay down"
you:"flys away at the last second"
one time when you dived down i was actually afraid you were gonna collide with ether me or the trees :lol you were that close to me.

should be on for bombers..... in the AVA!

From a film clip discussing the British night fighters attacking Luftwaffe Bombers, these two pilots British and German recall how it was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfPN2NYN6so (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfPN2NYN6so)
"We would creep up behind them. If you could we would get just beneath them, and then come up just slightly behind them, so they didn't see you and go as close as you dare and then open up....."

Me either, it's about the only time I'll logout.

Yeah, I know I turn my gamma way up :D
In the linked film, I found it funny that the German pilot explained how angry he felt about being surprised by the fighter tactics and that his crew had not spotted them. Considering the actual outcome and loss of life due to both the bombing and the burning plane, I must admit I to being a little disturbed.

Mine already *is* - this card has always been on the darker side, even if i crank up every monitor control I can find, be it from the vid card or the monitor itself, without going to te extent of being blinded by a white background (or run two different gamma settings.)

it's not hard to track multiple cons in a bomber.
i had 2 or 3 on my 24's a couple of months ago. the landed in sectors 12-5 through 13-5. :aok :devil

if you turn icons on, you miss this.....

Shane,
I hear ya. Not that I think you haven't tried this but just in case. I had a similar problem with gamma and brightness. I discovered that my contrast settings had a darkening effect also. When I had a graphics card (currently struggling to put a system together) I constantly played with brightness, contrast, gamma, sharpness, and digital vibrance. Just when I would get it set, a new update would come in and I would spend hours adjusting it :(
I was making the adjustments long before no icons. My eyes are deteriorating very quickly and I need the extra "pop" in color to identify outlines of enemies to determine their attitude towards me. Very difficult to judge a plane heading at me or just stalled. I have both zoom options mapped to my joystick and boy do I use them.
Nice shooting Cap! Anyone we know? :D

one of em was fugi....he came back with a vengeance though....i never touched him when he came back, and my 3 buffs were scattered across the cartoon landscape.......and i thinmk the other was oldman.

little trick when night time flying is without changing any settings is if there is cloud coverage get above the cloud line and you can pick out the plane's easier , I was doing that alot i think on okinawa or something with the different cloud elevations had one person up and calling out targets as they were seen, but when it changes to night it is only for about 10 minutes not like back in 2002 when you had a night arena for a few hours.

will probally take some flak for this
hahahahahaha take some FLAK for this... haha... heh... :bolt:
