GGTharos Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Very nice, Ice. It's a pity that the US aircraft can't have a Bullseye programmed in. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Very nice, Ice. It's a pity that the US aircraft can't have a Bullseye programmed in. In Lock On, Russian aircraft can not have Bullseye programed either!

Ice Posted December 29, 2004 Author Posted December 29, 2004 what I do in my missions is use waypoint 1 as bullseye for both teams. then using HSI it is very easy to give references
EvilGun Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I think if consider that action takes place in USSR period, than Ukraine and Georgia are still parts of it. If after USSR, than Russian territory should be marked as Russian Federation.
Alfa Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I think if consider that action takes place in USSR period, than Ukraine and Georgia are still parts of it. If after USSR, than Russian territory should be marked as Russian Federation. Ditto that 8) JJ

Alfa Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I didnt expect this to get political. the maps are only to help Situation awareness Get political? :lol: Ice it has nothing to do with politics, but with geography ;) After 1991, the Soviet Union(USSR) ceased to exist and was split up into several independant countries such as "Russia", "Ukraine" and "Georgia" just to mention the ones situated on the current Lock-on map. :) Your idea is great, but if your aim is to raise situational awareness, you should replace the "USSR" label on the map with "Russia" :D Just a suggestion :) JJ

GGTharos Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 This sim is set in its own fictional timeline. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
SwingKid Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Poor guy. Does all this hard work, and this is the thanks he gets. I'll give him a rep! (I guess now would be an ungrateful moment to note that the word "Georgia" isn't actually in Georgia...) What's with the nine-month bump? Is this connected to Britney's pregnancy? -SK
Guest Cali Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 WHO CARES IT'S A MAP TO HELP PEOPLE OUT! Thanks for the hard work Ice :)
Ice Posted September 2, 2005 Author Posted September 2, 2005 Thankyou SK for the rep points. I'm afraid my geography isnt very good. I will try to find the original files on the weekend and make them nmore accurate
sunwolf Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 thank you very much. When I finished bombing the enemy airfield in this game and I requested my own airfield,the answer for me is the nearest airfield which I have bomb a moment ago. == Welcome to 3GO Cyber Air Force == http://bbs.3gofly.com/en
Kula66 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 So YOU are the phantom friendly airfield bomber!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
SUBS17 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I think if consider that action takes place in USSR period, than Ukraine and Georgia are still parts of it. If after USSR, than Russian territory should be marked as Russian Federation. Lockon has no fixed timeline, it is neither coldwar or post coldwar. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Bullseye can only realistically work in lockon if some objects are revealed on the map. Since the way bullseye works in real life cannot be implemented without changes to avionics of aircraft. An exception to this is the Mig 29 and Su27/33 whose radar display might allow for a rough representation of the use of bullseye in game by using a certain waypoint. The way bullseye works on F4 you can get it to work on lockon by using the distance/bearing function on the F10 view. eg 2 bandits bearing 120 from bullseye 80miles. So you could place the cursor and left click over the bullseye marker location on the map(it has to be an obvious object for a reference point) and drag it on that bearing and distance to work out where the boggie is in relation to your own aircraft on the map. Thats the only way accurately that this can be done, if you hide your friendly aircraft from the map then you are wasting your time since as your own location is not at an accurate point. Also calls with reference to bullseye can't be done accurately to pass on to other aircraft if they stray from their flight plan too far. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
169th_Crusty Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, it would be nice if the bullseye was implemented into the sim and the position of the cursor on the MFD would be linked to the bullseye`s readout at the bottom of the screen, but... for now I`d be happy to see the NAV system working properly. Especially HSI giving correct indications regardless of modes you`re in. Then, at least we could get the bullseye/waypoint position to our own a/c and roughly estimate radar contact`s position without switching to "NAV" mode and losing your SA.
