homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Wings: Over Flanders Fields Patch 1.14 available - Thank you OBD

Thanks Hellshade.


Guys - No the Dot labels DISAPPEAR at the TAC range if set to do so.
The setting in workshops is called "Dot labels MAX Range"
If in flight you then change your TAC range, yes they vanish at the new range your TAC is set to.
(Just a thought but if it doesn't maybe try setting it to Long Range then back to RAC Range to make sure it's setup).

Or if you set to "Max Range" they vanish at approx 20km (depending on weather/aircraft size etc) as per the workshop.

The other settings "Ident Labels Avg Distance (m)" in workshop dictate the progression from one label type to the next. I.e. when each label type switches to the next type. Full Labels -> ID labels (Se5a etc) -> "aircraft" -> DOT label.

So if you use Identy + Dots labels, then if you look in that section in Workshops the OBJ column is when "object labels" turn off (APPROX), that's when the DOT labels come on.

OBJ = the grey label that says "aircraft"


Hover mouse over the many of the settings or options for descriptions!

Seems complicated but not really.

It currently doesn't work with Dots labels only.

8) Morane Top speed reduced.

yann98. They will go to TAC range.

There is only 1 Dot. It's a label called DOT. That's it.

Note the Range settings only works with Indenty+Dots label mode. It currently doesn't work with Dots labels only.

If people like it we can implement the Range limits on Dots only mode.

Just so it's clear what I was hoping for:
I'd love to be able to set a MAX setting so that dots don't appear past that distance. For example I just did a mission and I could see enemy dots 7KM away landing. I'd love to be able to set it so that the dots turn off at say 4KM entirely so that I don't have super long range vision. Just trying to even the odds as if I have dots off, by the time I see the enemy I'm already in a bad spot.

If that's not feasible it's not a huge deal, but I think some other people would like that as well.

Nice batch of changes. Looks like devs are asking for some opinions on a couple of things.

#1 If they should apply new max display range for the DOTS only label mode (right now its just Dots+Identity) - I would say yes, that seems to be what many are asking.

#2 Ability to change TAC max range - Again, that would seem to be a very useful parameter to add to Workshop. Right now that can only be done by hand editing ini file.

I would like to make a suggestion for a third parameter in workshop:

#3 Customize dot label color and translucency in Workshop. Again, this can be hand edited but for those that are not comfortable tweaking config files, having it in Workshop would be appreciated.

Thanks!

but the Devs metioned about that tweaking the max range it extended could be something that they would add for future patches into the Workshop.
