When I logged in today, it looked like still testing radar settings.How long will this test last? :frown:
Or has it been this way all the time? :huh

It is different from situation awareness with radio voice.
I can understand if I can only see it on the tower as GCI, but I can not accept it that they can see it on the aircraft.
Why did HTC adopt this setting?

I think current setting mean Airborne radar with datalink which OOPARTS while WWII.

So do you want a static CBM with notes written on it?

HTC has not disclosed the reason throughout all the test or later. We may never know.
All we have is guesses from various players.
My currently preferred theory is that VR users are threatening to sue for health problems with their neck, so the clipboard now makes it unnecessary to check 6.

1[/size]. A light user only needs to play another game.If Aces High is aiming for a light game, I will move on to another game because it is not what I want.I do not think that this change will bring new customers, and is not it just that the players from Aces High, eventually Air Warrior, leave?
[/size][/size]2. Viewpoint switching by HAT is also possible using VR goggles, so VR users are threatening to sue for health NO problems with their neck
[/size]
[/size]The radar setting should be restored.

i think there is an argument for new dar being legit. scouts or other fighters would have radioed contacts and controllers or spotters would have done the same regardless of working radar. Also radar was a chain and not just one post so killing one wouldnt have downed the whole system. I guess the British system was the most advanced in the world at the time compared to everyone else.
Post by: ccvi on September 16, 2018, 04:10:42 AM
i guess htc better change the 6k neon red icons, chess pieces, same country planes fighting each other and everything else that is not remotely realistic or historical.
Historical accuracy or not is not a reason again the radar change.
Having to scan the sky visually was an important part of the game play. That's now gone, simply keep the watching the map.
Slipping through enemies on the deck (low enough to show no icon) was a possible option. This is now gone, too.
Less variety - more boring.
Ok, there's now the new option of instrument intercepts through the clouds.

scanning the sky for neon red icons at 6k? hardly a challenging aspect of gameplay. might aswell turn them off completely.

Easy solution is to NOT fly with the map open. I know I almost never fly with it up, but thats just me.

Of course you don't. You've flown too much without. You'll start noticing a change in player behavior when a large part of the current players have been replaced by new players who have never played without local perfect dar.

As long as it continues to generate fighting opportunities Im all for it. And so far, it seems to work.

I've noticed no change in the # of fights between this stupid new dar setup and the old dar. I never had trouble finding fights.
Put the old dar back, or at least set up the clipboard so we can place it in a fixed point in space and have it stay open. With dummy dar I find myself opening the map much more than with the old good dar. I'd rather keep the clipboard in my virtual lap and look down at rather than open and close it all the time.
If this new dar is the way of the future we may as well have altitude/plane type/pilot name on every plane icon on the map, third person chase views and lead computing gunsights enabled in the MA. We can be the American version of Turd Thunder, but with less planes and vehicles. Already got the dar and HUD for it.
Was this new and craptacular dar the outcome of the vote a few weeks ago? Are there more players because of it?
Post by: Vraciu on September 18, 2018, 12:11:57 AM
Do the dar rings do anything anymore?
If nobody has visual on you then they serve as they did before.

Hardly. Lots of people don't like the various dar experiments, your ".00000etc!%" population comment is hyperbole at absolute best; and an attempt to shout down dissenters to something you support at worst.
Seriously, telling people to leave the game when they care enough about it to share when something changes that they dislike--in a language they are far from fluent in, as you ought to have noticed, btw-- is your go-to option? When the game needs all the people it can get?
Posts on the BB are legitimate ways to make one's displeasure known. What got your panties in a bunch about what Blade said? Hopefully HT considers such input when he calculates which direction to take the game. Haven't seen Blade on much nowadays, btw, and he was a dependable early morning nemesis on a daily basis for months if not years.
PS--oh, I am not emphatically against the latest dar iteration. But HT really desperately needs to make a landed goon's icon not be visible when the dar at a base is up. :P

It needs to be as hard as it was in the real war........ if aceshigh is still trying to be a combat simulation. if you're looking for easy try War Thunder.

Don't forget no ammo counters and no GPS. And all of that would be great! ENY will need some adjustments though because some aircraft did have nearly fully automatic engine management.

You’d have an arena with negative numbers if you implemented this stuff. Concessions for the sake of gameplay are appropriate.

The system fails to model the complexity differences and thus provides an incorrect relative effectiveness between different planes. Trying to argue that all planes should have the same ease of use is similar to arguing that all with the same ENY should come with the same rate if climb.
It is a gaming concession. Perfectly reasonable and acceptable. Your “advanced” Me-109 got its arse kicked by the “inferior” P-51 regardless.
