New abris functions

[karambiatos]

I've noticed that clouds get displayed on the abris now, and i've noticed that there are 2 new functions in the abris charts page, that aren't translated to english and changing them doesn't seem to do anything, and i can't find any reference to this in the manual.

 

Also funnily enough if you zoom the map in the clouds will disappear.

 

 

 

So is this something that's not been fully implemented yet or is it some kind of bug?

Clouds on the ABRIS map? Dafuq? That doesn't sound right :huh:

Because its not right. I am reporting that one.

[Devrim]

Oh man! Displaying clouds on ABRIS means that ABRIS works like a radar! Yaaaey! :D

[Tarres]

UTM CETKA, I think that is the UTM grid and maybe the MGRS? grid.

[flanker0ne]

ГЕО СЕТКА = Geographic Grid AKA Lat/Lon

 

while

 

UTM СЕТКА = UTM Grid

 

They control the appearance of graphic lines in the map.

Or maybe that's a feature that leaked from the future radar display of the upcoming Ka-52 module that is about to come as the biggest surprise ever in the DCS rotorheads community!

 

Displaying the UTM grid has always been there. It was turned off by default. They just forgot to to translate it I guess.

If only.

Yeah i remembered i haven't played DCS in some time so i've forgotten some things.

The New Abris functions are indeed handy for confirming that I am indeed lost in low level cloud.

Is it the Fog of War?

[silenthunter183]

Any possibility to remove that clouds??? This is really unrealistic and it is harder for me to play with that.

 

PS. Can someone guide to the topic where is spoken how to deal with AAA with black shark? Also I thank you if you guide me somewhere dealing Georgian Oil War with BS. Thanks.

[Rabb]

Unfortunately, I have no clouds on Abris.

 

Deal with AAA? Stay far away and use Vikhrs. Also, you can kill most of AAA with Ka-50's 30mm gun. Most AAA engage at 3 or less kilometers away. From 3 km distance you can engage AAA with gun easily. Use HE shells for ground or truck mounted ZU-23 and AP shells for Shilkas. Stay far away from and use Vikhrs for Tunguskas.

[silenthunter183]

Yea, but how to deal with ZU-23 closed? I tried to kill it with Gun, this is nearly impossible (or i just shitty aimed :P)

[Enduro14]

Your gun has a 4km range you can easily interdict AAA with HE rounds

[kilix]

I don't know what is "ZSU closed". If you mean ZSU-23-4 Shilka, then you can destroy it with AP ammo. Or if you have Vikhrs left, destroy it with them while keeping greater distance >=4km. ZSU-23-4 is kinda dangerous.

 

Also, when firing cannon, remember to re-lase to calculate distance accurately. I am sometimes lazy to lock my targets when firing cannon, so the distance is not updated.

I don't know about your style, but shitty aiming can be caused by that. The distance is not correct, re-lase to make sure that the distance displayed is correct.

 

...we went pretty OT here.

ZU-23 Closed is basically the ZU-23 in a bunker of sandbags. Use your helmet mounted site to get your Shkval in the general direction. Make your small adjustments in whatever you use to slew your Shkval on your HOTAS. Turn your laser on, Turn On Target on, and Lock target. HE rounds will self destruct at 4km, AP rounds are only effective out to 2km(On hardened targets). You can kill a ZU-23 of any type with HE, once you hit the target and it begins to smoke, you have basically destroyed it, and it will stop firing. Just wait a few seconds and it will explode.

 

Hope this helps

And yes I would also like the clouds to be removed on ABRIS, If your not getting clouds or fog on yours you are probably flying during clear skies. At night in adverse weather this really hinders the Ka50.

[flanker0ne]

as stated in the today's change log, has been solved

[Rogue Trooper]

HE on ZU-23 bunker with HMS walked up and down his punk ass is just the sweetest kill.

[20thBG_Blackwolf]

I don't get the clouds in 1.5 just in 2.0

[flanker0ne]

For that kind of bugs the 2.0 is behind the actual 1.5.3

Didn't want to start new Thread with my ABRIS Problem, hijack this one..

Start Flying the deployment Campaign again, be currently in Mission 3 where you evacuate Shpora.

After I get in the air want over the search function for airfields make a fast waypoint for Navigation.(tested also in Mission editor)

But I encounter Problem when I start the alphabetical search for Airfields the List go's complete empty, with search function for Towns in works right.

Did I something wrong, or Bug in the Abris?

Didn't want to start new Thread

Why not? Afraid that someone could find your posting and maybe even find help with similar issues?

[BSS_Sniper]

You probably need to start a new one...that's what this is for.
