i agree a good idea what about having the ability to have a map board you can plan your route on in the mission editor, flight plan,steer points,enemy forces,friendly forces,target point ingress/egress likely enemy routes etc etc so there would be no need for the targeting diamond all you would have to do is look on the map and fly towards the target area, something similar to "Falcon 4 kneeboard map" you can access in game or you could simply print a map of area off and use paintshop or something these are just ideas to add more realism to the game striker77

i agree if only one of these was added as a flyable maybe in the next sim !!!!

reference the portable designator well yes there are numerous types from hand held laser pens to tripod mounted systems so how do you expain targeting a moving vehicle column thats traveling at 40 KPH that would mean the supposedly Recce,FACS or Special Forces guys are in a vehicle following them but that would give them away !!!! also how do you explain the diamond being painted on a ship miles out to sea ???? laser targeters do a have a limited range and i think when standing on a beach looking out to the horizon a person can only see 4 miles out to sea i know the A10 has the pave penny pod buts its not modeled in the game IE we dont have FACS designating targets and anyway alll the planes in lomac have the targeting diamond in there HUDS except the su25 its quite unrealistic, hence if it was not included or have the option of turning it off, the game would be more realistic as flying a CAS,ground attack,strike you would have to the "pop up and look" to visually ID/find the target rather than being steered towards the target thanks for listening striker77

thanks for the replies the diamond appears for all aircraft except the su25 not just the A10 which has a pave penny pod also its unrealistic some Recon,Special force guys illuminating countless targets, or even if lets say a vehicle convoy is moving at speed how would they keep up ??? it would be an idea to have the option to turn it off to add more realism to the game so you would have to visually look for the target rather than know where they are !! also you would have to contour, "pop up" and visually ID more often rather than being steered towards the target striker77

its been mentioned before on here i think is there anyway you can turn the targeting diamond off, as flying CAS,ground attack etc etc you will have to visually look for the targets rather than being steered towards them via the targeting diamond, i know the A10 has the pave penny pod buts thats to pick laser pointers which isnt modeled in lomac yet !! as i do like immersion/realism also someone mentioned before having a "target box" so you can make a mission that targets lets say a group of buildings/refinery/oil platform etc etc put a "target box" over them and if you damage any buildings in that box thats objective complete, because doing low level raids a pilot can only make a one pass and drop ordnance rather than going back and forth destroying all the targets which would then make the attacker vunrable to AAA,Manpads etc etc also having a percentage system in place I.E. a convoy of 10 trucks and you have to destroy 80 percent of them to complete the mission that would mean destroying 8 trucks to acheive your mission objective thanks for reading striker77
