FatSlapper Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I fly mostly single player. This is a really old issue! Why is Fence In and Fence Out still in the manual??? Why was it removed from the comms. menu??? How do you get your wingman to turn off his lights???<----answer ONLY if YOU know what you are talking about!! It use to be when you turned off your lights your wingman would turn his off or iirc Fence in would make the flight turn off their lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1942 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I know your pain. I have become used to having my "wingy" go into the hot zone looking like a merry go round with all lights flashing just asking the AI to "Shoot me first". Not sure if it is a big enough issue to address with some of the bugs that are yet to be resolved in many of the modules. As an exclusively single player myself, I think we are not going to get our issues addressed as quickly as the multiplayer folks. Just the way it is it seems.

FatSlapper Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I know, Chief. This is low hanging fruit and its been like this for years. From the looks of all the updates it appears that the A-10c is complete and needs no further improvements. I will never understand the chaotic way this company is run.

FatSlapper Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Does anybody know how to make the A-10 (ai) wingman turn off his lights??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Breeze Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do the AI use the lights for visual spotting?

Chief1942 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks Sith, I'll see if I can look into this shortly.... Will accept that it is not a "biggy", but it seems to be the small issues that tend to detract from all the greatness of these ED offerings.

ED Team NineLine Posted May 27, 2015 ED Team Share Posted May 27, 2015 Even if its just for immersion its still important to some degree. If this is something that could be done before, I can ask if there was a good reason it was disabled.

Darkwolf Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How do you get your wingman to turn off his lights???<----answer ONLY if YOU know what you are talking about!! Wingmans usually follows your own plane. If you turn lights on and off, he'll do. Actually, must be a bug here. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.

baltic_dragon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do the AI use the lights for visual spotting? I Adam quite certain they do. I did some testing with MANPADs and AAA at night - they would shoot me much more often when I had my nav lights and strobes on. as for wingmen, they do copy what you do, but quite often they will forget about formation lights. That, however, is not a big problem, as formation lights should only be visible when you are close to other plane and won't be seen from the ground. Having said all that, I would like to have the fence in/ out command! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimi_uy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Having said all that, I would like to have the fence in/ out command! THIS. With FC3 aircraft you can command AI to turn on/off ECM and Radar, so it should be that hard to implement.

FatSlapper Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks Sith... It use to work, ai mimicked your lights! Fence in/out use to be in the comms menu. It is still in the manual...under fence in it says: Flight will turn off navigation and collision lights and enable ECM. Yes, compared to the many other problems within this sim it is no big deal. I thought it was determined that enemy ai could detect and target you and ai further out if the lights are on. but I can't quote an official source. But, for such a high fidelity military simulator of this age it is incomprehensible how these little problems that use to work no longer work. No explanation at all. An official word of "yea its broke and there are no work-arounds at present" would be acceptable. !OR! HOW DO YOU MAKE THE AI TURN OFF HIS LIGHTS!

CHRISXTR3M3 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 What missions in particular are you seeing this happen and with what aircraft? When I play the Su-27 Ultimate Argument Campaign my wingman follows my fence in and fence out like a clone. When my lights go off so do his and vice versa. No comms needed.

CHRISXTR3M3 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It doesn't help him that when we ask in what particular instance he is seeing this issue he ignores us and expects us to read his mind.

I just have had time to dig into too much with all that's going on right now, but I will look at it.... but its not a blocking issue, we just need to practice a little patience...

CHRISXTR3M3 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I will try this out later tonight to see if I can replicate the issue in any single player mission I will try both night and day missions User Files for AV8-B, X55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
