RichardG Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I want to see friendly and ownship externals, but no enemy externals. I've tried every combination of Enable/enforce in the mission option menu, and all I get is either no externals at all, or externals for everything. How do I block enemy external views?
brewber19 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I have a similar issue...in that everything I do to stop enemy static icons from appearing in F10 fails :( I wonder if we're either both missing how to do it ("operator error) or whether it just can't be done in BS like it could in LOFC? I'll have a play tonight to see if I can help though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 487th Helicopter Attack Regiment, of the VVS504 Red Hammers
DTWD Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Have you tried hiding the enemy in the mission editor? Not sure if it will work or not, just a thought. If you can see a target in the mission editor it's a known target, hiding targets (and it hides them in the mission editor also) means they are unknown. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RichardG Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 I have my units hidden. But what is the point in hiding them if the player can see them with external enemy view? No one knows how to disable this?

CAT_101st Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 In the ME you can select the Mission options. Enforce external views and leav the Value uncheked. that will block the F7 and F2.

Scif Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Well i have tried and i can lock F2 and F7 the way you describe it.. ie i am locked into cockpit mode, but the F2 to self and allies just does not work... enemy units always show. All units are hidden in ME as well. Asus P8P67-M Pro, i7 2600K@4.6Ghz, 4gb Vengence Ram, Gainward GTX 580 3gb Phantom, Win7 64 Ultimate, Warthog Control System. Trackir 5 Pro, Saitek Combat Pedals.
Scif Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Bump I dont like to bump threads, but has anyone solved this problem or has this problem. I setup 3 missions exactly the same but with different external settings as described in the thread, but for the love of god i can not get enemy externals hidden. I can lock to cockpit, but theres something fishy with the mission editor and the so called external options. Would love to have a solution to this problem to make mp missions more in depth, but as of now it's impossible to have externals on without enemy showing up.

brewber19 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 same here - seems either than whatever is set in the ME isn't acknowledged...or the settings 'use settings in every mission' on an individuals PC overrides. My issue is icons appearing in the F10 view...can't seem to stumble across the right settings to hide enemy icons though :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 487th Helicopter Attack Regiment, of the VVS504 Red Hammers
Pavlos Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Bump...any help will be greatly appreciated. The worst part about disabling external views is you also lose the HUD-only view (LAlt+F1). The worst part about enabling external views is you also get to see the coordinates of your targets in a multiplayer environment... Is there a definite way to disable enemy external views but allow external views of your own chopper? GNSF
