AleCisla Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Hi, I've been trying to put a campaign together, based on the Battle of Britain... although many airfields are not on Normandy Map, which is the only one I have for now, I've been reading and learning more and more about this battle. I managed to make a start, the right weather, the right date, the right amount of planes on the German and English side, etc, etc.... And then I stump upon a big problem: the radar. At the moment, I've got an E2-D flying very high ( so it "can't be seen") and set to invisible on the map... it kind of "does the job", but I was wondering if there's any .lua file that could provide some EWR, like we have in some missions I've seen around, with the black box on the top right of the screen giving direction and distance, at least!... But the real deal, and what I really would looooove to have, would be a proper radar, on the ground, either giving only direction and distance or a full EWR warning, like the AWACS gives. Is there any plans to make such a thing? Could this be done? ED? please?! Thanks. 2
71st_AH Rob Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) There is a wonderful mod, actually two, one for the Channel Map and one for Normandy, both with templates so you can quickly set them up by SUNSTAG. I wish ED would add this to the WWII Assets Pack, they have added German era appropriate radar. Edited July 3, 2021 by 71st_AH Rob 1
Northstar98 Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Could this be relevant? Also didn't ED say they'd make CH functional on the Channel Map?

AleCisla Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you @71st_AH Rob!!! I'll have a look into that with more detail and consider using it for myself. The only "problem" is that, I was planning to make a campaign to post in the User Files section and I think if I make it too complicated with mods having to be added, people will not like it. I don't know, I might be wrong, but unfortunately people tend to want "the easiest" way of things without complicating it too much, so my idea, was to try and keep everything as "vanilla as possible", making only the WWII Assets Pack to be necessary. (Does that german radar work as an EWR? Sorry I actually never tried as I just found out about it's existence! But then, what I'm gonna use for the Allies?) What I really wanted, was a way to introduce a .lua file, which I think is what is used by some people that make missions and campaigns, where you have that dark box on the top right of the screen, showing some kind of "BRA" but in a very "old fashion", with only things like "near" and "far"... or "low" and "high", without actually giving exactly directions and altitude of the enemies. I hope you know what I mean and if you know how this can be done, please! I'll appreciate! @Northstar98 sorry, I don't own the Channel map and I don't plan to use it or buy it anytime soon. Thanks. 1
