moonbeast Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 for 1.2 can we have an option to turn the green targeting diamond on/off as it is unrealistic problem is when designing own missions/campaigns i want to be able to designate in the mission editor targets without the green diamond showing up ( its harder to find moving targets ) and its more realistic i know its supposed to be laser targeting by recce/special forces etc etc moonbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBS17 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 From what I've heard targets painted with laser showup with that symbol on the real A10.(could be painted by a forward observer on some missions) [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunanera Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 the thing is, that the diamond shouldn't show up if the laser spot is hidden behind some terrain. Unfortunately it does, making it very unrealistic :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britgliderpilot Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 the thing is, that the diamond shouldn't show up if the laser spot is hidden behind some terrain. Unfortunately it does, making it very unrealistic :( I don't know about anyone else, but I can set units as "destroy" mission goals without having to set them as targets . . . . . I think the only real use in setting something as a target is to GET the targeting diamond. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunanera Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 it would just be very cool if were properly simulated with line of sight and friendly units spotting targets and lighting them up with the laser. Can LGB's be used this way? on the A-10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Can LGB's be used this way? on the A-10? Yes, but the problem is that A-10 doesn't actually carry LGBs. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
