DD_Friar Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Salute I am currently trying to build a multiplayer Tank v Tank only mission (no aircraft). The scenario is WWII in Normandy and has a "capture the flag" theme. I have been stopped in my tracks (pun not intended) by the fact that no matter what I try with mission settings it seems it is not possible to prevent the enemy from being shown on the F10 map, a critical factor if trying to build this sort of scenario. I have tried "Fog of War", "Allies Only", I have tried ticking the units as hidden on map, no matter what I seem to try, signing in as "game master" (what you have to do in order to be able to jump into a tank) seems to override these settings (am I correct? is that the only way? even ticking "player can drive" does not seem to help?) This may be stretching what "Combined Arms" was intended for (I came to DCS from IL2 Tank Crew many moons ago and since have bought lots of maps and aircraft) and am trying to replicate a ground war. Has anyone else been able to find a settings scenario that works? Is there any chance of a work-around / fix for this? I love the quality of the maps when driving around by-the-way. If we can get this working it will be a game changer I am sure for anyone looking to play this type of scenario in DCS. Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

Solution razo+r Posted March 31 Solution Share Posted March 31 A gamemaster sees everything regardless of setting. However, a tactical commander, which also capable of occupying ground units, will have his view limited based on the settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
