How to make planes visible at a longer range

[frontmann 2]

Hi all!

 

I'm trying to make planes visible at a longer range, kinda the small dot that lets you notice an incoming plane in il2, you know? i don't like having the enemy bracketed by a red square, it's unrealistic!

Maybe someone already found the solution?

 

No modder interested on the incredible SR-71? it'd be a great addition, but as i'm moving my first steps

in the world of modding i can't yet even think to do it by myself.

 

Thanks and cheers!

Hey ya Frontmann

Yes you can loose the brackets

 

Just look in the First hread in the STicky's in this Forum

called Tweaks

all the INFO is in there

 

and the hud type , so when you padlock a groud unit or aircraft the type is so small that u cant read it , makes for some interesting encounters over the front

as in reality they watched for your own colour flak , giving away the HA's position and heading for that position

I must be a little dumb...i posted my topic on the wrong forum, i'm a WoV player! Thank you anyway Gambit! By the way, maybe i can do what you suggest also on WoV/WoE, or not?

Done! it works fairly well...i suggest this:

 

[Display001]

DisplayType=DIRECTOR

ObjectType=TARGET_ENEMY

ConeSize=25

BoxSize=1

BoxType=SQUARE

BoxColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.25 (to change the colour into a shadowy grey, it's almost realistic)

ConeModelName=redcone

 

Fubar answered too, if you're interested go and take a look at the same topic under WoV/WoE forum (i reposted it in the right place). Bye!
