visual F-10 map options

[evanf117]

i have an idea for a new F-10 map view option
it could be called either "local view" or "radius view" and it would show only units within a (specified via slider) radius, it would add some realism over having all units visible but it would allow for people bad at spotting or newer less experienced players to still know whats going on around them

The idea is interesting especially as an aid for newbies, although in the real world many times inn combat doesn't have the ability to know what's going on around you.

Fog of war is sort of supposed to sort of do that, but it breaks down in MP where everything being in range of anything shows up for everyone, and the exact limits and mechanisms for determining what is “know“ are themselves unknown (and uncontrollable).

This would be more like an individual, controllable fog of war option and that would help a ton with a lot of mission designs.

yea, the point is so you cant see every unit just the ones near you, then its more realistic than seeing a whole map but not as realistic as seeing nothing

Another enhancement for the F-10 map ruler would be to be able to select magnetic or true.  Most of the time I use the ruler for direction to an airport.  In the Caucuses map, it is always 6 degree's off due to magnetic variation.
