wip George AI targets vehicles out of LOS

[609_Relentov]

While creating a track for another issue, I noticed that George is targeting vehicles that are out of LOS (e.g. other side of a mountain/hill).  I attached a track - if you notice when I'm having George search for targets near the IHADSS cross-hair on the near side of a mountain/hill, he will show on the target list SAM units that are no where near where I'm pointing.  They are more in the background on the other side of the mountain I'm pointing at, and not visible.

While the units in the list are generally in the area near the IHADSS cross-hair (from a 2d point of view), as noted, they are very far away and not in LOS, so there may be a bug where George is including those units incorrectly.

Following up/bumping - any thoughts on this?  Sometimes you need to go through a really long list that includes these out of LOS targets (that, again, he should not even be able to see, through hills/mountains).

Thanks.

I assume George AI is using the same targeting code/logic as the general AI in DCS, which also acquire targets outside of LOS.

We have fixed this in many cases, if you come across this in other modules and such, please report, but this isnt helpful here. Thanks.

Hey so I reviewed your track, I did see a couple times where you might have given him enough of a look to spot something, but I agree it might be just a little too good. I dont think he is seeing through the mountain though. I will ask the team if they are working on his eagle eyes at all. Thanks for the report!

Edit: It indeed does seem he has super vision at this time (not x-ray), this means if you give him even just enough to have LOS even at great distances, he will add it to the target list. It is planned to improve this, in that he will have to search like we do, so for now you will just have to put up with in being an awesome CPG.

Thanks for the update - its not a show stopper, but it would be nice if he focused on targets that were close enough to possibly attack.

Yup, 100% agree, thanks for the report!
