P4 Query

[Flyby PC 23]

I haven't seen the question asked, but that's not to say it hasn't been, so apologies if this is old ground....

 

I had a thought occur, but don't know if it can happen. You know when take damage, with labels on, your see "So & So has damaged your wingtip" or whatever, I haven't been aware of any way to check this data, either in flight or on the ground. It rattles up the screen too fast to read and once it's gone, it's gone forever. Would it be possible to find where this data is kept, and devise a way to add it into the post mission debriefing so that you could see how much damage you sustained during the mission? See how many hits you took. Perhaps made conditional on getting home alive.

 

Going to feel stupid now if we can do this already, but if not, do think it's possible?

After each mission, you have a "Review" or how it's called. Press that, and you will get

a lot of data about your own, and other parties' attacks.

You must press "Continue" after each data frame appearing. I'm not sure, if it will show

exactly what you wanted to know, but that is as close as it gets, I think.

 

The fatigue of your own pilot can be seen in the red text you can pop up wit "Z" key I think;

and the health is shown in the last line of the blue teyt you get with F5. There you would

see, when you are wounded - normal health I think is at 50.

Thanks gents, but thats not 100% what I mean.

 

I mean those lines of red text which describe the damage you're getting as it happens, literally bullet by bullet. Clearly the game is recording that damage somewhere line by line, and I wondered whether that might be recovered, and put into a post mission debrief. I don't believe we can do it at the moment, but if the information is in there, somewhere, and I wondered if the OBD Masters of Invention might be able to bring it out.

 

I imagine if I was a pilot and made it home after an intense flight, I'd be crawling all over my plane to count the near misses, if only to be sure they all get fixed...

Again, Flyby - the "Review" of the mission is listing each and every event.

Numerous frames will pop up during review, what you fired (number of rounds) and what you hit;

or when you receive enemy fire.

Just watch that "review" - that's closest to what you want to know.

Look for a file named OFF.log

 

I'm not sure where it is located or if it has the information you are looking for, but you might try that as a starting point.

Short answer no. May be possible in future but it's not exactly top priority. OFFLog has nothing to do with combat recording so ignore that.
