tigertoo Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 hi all, just struggling with the following: As a newbee, i made a .pdf of the "encyclopedia" to know what to put where.(link is somewhere in this forum) In FC 2.0 it seems now that plenty of the vehicles ( train locomotives,cargo coach,tank coach etc), as well as many Air defense items (Kub 2P25 LN,Radar PRW 11 etc...)are not available anymore.Other items are new but are not in the "encyclopedia" Further more the "names" in the "encyclopedia" differs very much to the names in the Mission builder.Am i seeing things wrong, or is it just this way? So all very confusing to me. Is there a solution to this? If there is not, this is a pitty, as it would be nice to know to put what where on the map any suggestions?:helpsmilie:
nomdeplume Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 For the most part the encyclopedia entries are named after the type designation of the unit in question, e.g. M1A2. The mission editor lists this as well as often the more common name, and prefixes them with an indication of the type of unit they are. i.e. MBT for tanks, SAM for SAM systems, etc. There are a few exceptions such as the Russian self-propelled artillery pieces which are in the encyclopedia as SAO or SAU but in the editor as SPH, but these are also fairly easy to identify by the designation and common name. Normally I just Google info about the unit though, since the encyclopedia is pretty hit and miss when it comes to the amount of information it has on each unit.
