F10 Map Campaign POLL

[dimitriov]

Hi

 

AS long as I have no idea of the amount of simmers who use the F-10 map to seek ENI targets, I'd like you to answer this simple question :

 

Do you use the F10 map in flight to know where are the ENI units ?

 

I will anyway hide the triggers zones (forgot to do it), but I know that F10 map may be a part of gameplay for some people, so I'd like to know if they are a majority, or a minority.

 

If there is a clear majority which doesn't use the F10 map, I will hide all ENI units in the campaign.

 

Thank you ;)

I would vote to hide them

I do use the map. Because my english is not all that great and the info from "meatboy" or other are sometimes not clear to me.

 

Also, I don't mind doing a mission again if I fail to complete it, but to be set-back a mission and doing the mission that you DID succesfully complete before over again is a bit unfair I think.

I very like this campaign but will better if the enemy will be hiden I think.

You can do that? Damn, what have I been doing all these years.. Voted No, but out of ignorance, rather than principle.

 

But seriously, even if they were shown, I would not use it. Although..

My main concern is about people who use it.

 

Platypus convinced me, not everyone speak english well enough.

 

I will hide 90% of ENI units, and only leave shown 1 vehicle per ENI area. So I think everyone will be okay with it. I'll send modified files to Pat tomorrow, with too fix for the progress issue.

 

Continue to vote, it may be useful for other mission makers or future projects.

Okay so :

 

Changelog for (I hope) the next update :

 

- Triggers/units hidden on the map. Friendly units which can't spoil anything remain, as well as one or 2 vehicles on each target area.

- Campaign progress fixed.

- French issue with mission names fixed.

 

I recommend to use the stable release.

I voted no, but this is a very good compromise that I'm more than happy with.

 

Thanks Dimitriov :thumbup:

hows the fog of war thing goin atually? would make sence to see enemies on the f10 map if someone spots them or awacs picks em up somehow.

[dimitriov]

Mfff, currently there are sometimes conflicts between the user configuration and the mission settings.

 

Anyway, no it wouldn't make sense. That's not because a friendly tank spotted infantry 50 km from you that you will be informed, even near targets aren't necessarily described if your mission is supposed to make you get around them.

 

Pretty much interesting statistic by the way, 33% of players use the F10 map, I thought they were less numerous. Will take it in account for future things...

I'm not 100% clear on the question, so I'd like to explain my answer. :smartass:

 

Do you use the F10 map to know where are the ENI units ?

 

No, I don't use the F10 map to know where the enemy units are located, so I voted "No".

 

But I *do* use the F10 map to orient myself, so my voting "No" doesn't mean I don't use the F10 map. I hope that makes sense. :music_whistling: :thumbup:

[dimitriov]

Yes it's the same for me ;)

 

To sum up a little, it's the "cheating" way of using F10 map which is under debate here ;)

 

And by "cheating", I don't judge or anything like this, everyone plays like he wants, and whatever the level of fidelity, DCS is a videogame ;) (And without gameplay rules by the way ^^)

well its still better in my opinion than seeing everything - spotted enemies that become visibil make 100 % sence to me.
