Threat Circles???

[tacannav]

Does anyone know how to create threat circles in the misson editor around things such as Sams and AAA's? I searched the editor and cant find anything on how to create the circles around anything.

Threat circles already exist. When you click on the item you should see a white circle around it indicating its range, and a larger circle around it indicating its threat circle. You can then use the trigger zone to visually mark how big the threat circle is by overlaying it on the item.

I believe the large circle is the detection range and the small circle is the weapon range. You should be able to toggle them on/off in map options.

I will look into that and see what happens

I couldnt find anything on how to create threat circles in the misson editor or in the manual, the you tube tutorial says creating threat circles is found in the misson editor but it says nothing on how to create them or where in the editor this can be found, I am at a loss over this I wish someone could give some more specific info on this, on where in the editor they can be found and how to make them.

Which video?

 

 

As Belgeode & kontiuka say, the brown circles around a unit is max Range of their weapon or the max scan range for the radar.

 

But you can make lines and circles on ABRIS of the Ka-50....Search Google: Lockonfiles Lines and boxes on abris map (C&P of the link is not working!)

or ability to see range of planes fully loaded with weapons with full fuel, .. to see how far can it fly,or how long? endurance versus range if you will..

I believe the threat circles in the mission editor show up no matter what, don't they? In the in-flight map (F10), you can toggle them off from the top menu bar.

That is correct, the threat circles are always on in the ME.

I think the OP is a little confused on what is being asked for. You cannot "MAKE" threat circles, they exist the moment you place an AAA or SAM unit down.

[kontiuka]

Unless he's talking about trigger zones.

The F10 function that brings up the map does have toggles at the top of the menu bar, this is for the map, I am trying to display the threat circles on the abris display, they do not show up even though I toggled those buttons at the top of the F10 map, its the abris display where I want the threat circles, how do I get them to display there?
