Request for AI Radar On/Off commands in the communication menu

[swartbyron]

Could we please have option of asking AI wingman/flight to turn off their radars as we have had previously and with other modules. 

Flying missions as lead with AI wingman, you are unable to go silent as the wingman are constantly broadcasting making other players aware of your presence and giving them a bearing to to your flights location.

With the new modelling of the SPO-15 you have to live with a constant lock warning unless the AI is flying line abreast.  

 

Thanks

It's actually a fairly simple mod.  I've made one for myself, but I'm sure it won't pass IC for MP (I'm a single-player guy).

Ill have to give that a try.

The comms menu is a bit a of a mess at the moment with whole lot of stuff that shouldn’t be in there and quite a lot missing.

Hopefully ED will sort it in a an update soon.

If you want to mess with it, it's the comms.lua file in the "\Mods\aircraft\MiG-29-Fulcrum" folder.  Lotsa tinkering can be done.  I'd post my mod here, but I'm not sure that's allowed since it's an original game file.

Oh, and obviously back anything up!

Already on it, thanks

Just post your changes. 

Many of the mods in the user files are altered game files. 

Cheers!

Okay paste this at line 83, just under 'navigation':

menus['Radar'] = {
	name = _('Radar'),
	items = {
		{ name = _('On'),								command = sendMessage.new(Message.wMsgLeaderRadarOn) },
		{ name = _('Off'),								command = sendMessage.new(Message.wMsgLeaderRadarOff) },
	}
}

Then post this at line 189, just under 'Rejoin Formation':

 

		[7] = {
			name = _('Radar'),
			submenu = menus['Radar'],
		},

I actually created a JSGME (I'm old) compatible version so I can swap out without changing the original files.

I'll attach, but if the mods don't like it, I can remove it.

Unzip to your JSGME (and I assume OvGME) folder. 

Or just replace directly after you've backed up the original.

 

And ED, feel free to use this in your next patch.   

MiG-29 Radar Comms.7z

I've managed to add a lot of extra commands relative to the MiG-29 and removed all those that don't apply.

I can't seem to add wingman 4 with out it crashing though.   (Solved) 

Here's mine
