Title: Hanger time till reup dot command or clipboard click?
Post by: Randy1 on March 06, 2013, 07:19:18 AM
I did a search and look at the dot commands but could not find how to find out how much time a damaged hanger has till planes or GVs can reup.  I hear the vox chatter about so many minutes till the hanger is up and wondered how to find that information.

AFAIK one does not exist. When you hear that being called out its normally because they downed the hanger themselves and have timed how long it has been down.

Command is .dt fxxxyyy.   Xxx being field number. Yay being desired hangar. VH is VHH. I think bomber is BHH and fighter FHH.

VHH, BMH, FTH - all codes can be found HERE (http://www.hitechcreations.com/Help-Section/Flight-Sim-Information/Aces-High-Help-Gameplay.html#targets)

so to check FH's at A7 you'd type

.dt f07FTH

Lusche made a list, but the search engine is draggin today.

What you do it type

.dt fxxfth and hit enter xx= the field number and must have at least two digits. So field A3 would be typed in as 03 (.dt f03fth) this will list the down times for all the FHs at that field, or it will say a objects are alive or something like that. Luschu list had all the short hand abbreviations. Lets see how many I have.

fth = FH
bmh = BHs
vhh = VHs
gng = guns
rdr = radar
bab = troops

If you add a 01, 02 and so on to the end you can get individual hanger/guns down times.

That's it.  I'll cut and paste the information then print it out so I will have it for the next base attack or while waiting up on a home base hanger to up..

Thanks for the help fols.

How doable would it be to just add a timer in the tower? Just like when the arena is shutting down to change maps after a war win, the timer would be updated every minute. Using my MS Paint skills, something like this might be convenient to know how much longer you have to wait until you can take off from a field again.

Though I have no knowledge of coding and whatnot, so I don't know how much of a hit the servers would take trying to update the timers for every base on the map (especially on the larger maps)

Thats cool.... if your in the tower. The dot command works while your circling an airfield "screaming at the goon to drop" before the VH comes up :)

I like this idea, hope it gets moved/seen.  I think it would be cool if it looked like hand-written chalk rather than ariel-font too.
