Fog of War option Not Working ?

[SnowTiger]

I apologize in advance if this has already been reported and/or addressed. I could not find anything to do with this topic anywhere (Searched ALL Forums).

 

I have created a simple Single Player Mission in DCS 1.5 Open Beta for BS2.

 

In both the Main DCS World Options and in my Mission Options, I have F10 view options checked (i.e. Turned ON).

In the mission, I have selected "Fog of War" but it does not seem to be working.

 

I have the Enemy Vehicles Hidden (mission editor).

When I find the enemy using the Shkval (and sometimes mark their positions), should this not now show those found enemies on the F10 Map ?

 

OR do we actually have to fly over the target .. which ends the mission because I get killed !!

OR must we fly within a specified distance of the enemy for them to be "found" on the F10 Map ?

 

If it's any of the latter, it's useless.

It seems to me that if you find them (either close enough to eye-ball them) or if you scan and/or lock'em up, that this should be considered "Found/Located" and therefore they should now be visible in F10 until they are killed.

 

So far, I have yet to see ANY Enemies on the F10 Map no matter what I do, including flying right over them until they kill me .. which takes only a few seconds !

 

Please > Any incite into this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

dont set the vehicles to hidden. I am pretty sure FOW just requires line of sight from a friendly unit to show up on F10. I never set hidden in F10.
