Good job Snail 

YGBSM !!!

Normally yes, because ships have usually Maxvisiblerange 20000-30000.

 

There was a method, when you have found the ship in the ship view, cycling F7, then you could target the ship with the "target closest to center" key... and it remained targetted when you switched back to cockpit. Not anymore though... at least for me.

 

Sometimes even planes like B-52 can be targeted from 40-50km, but how, I don't know.

 

 

But,  damn,  you gave me an idea of making a test target ship with 500000 visible range.

Good idea. Let me know if it works for you.

Phantoms phlying ;)

"Find the in ship view and press - target closest to center"

If you're testing your cruise missile in an anti-ship mission, you will have some troubles targeting ships at long range since the primary target pop-up at close range only (something like 15NM). Basically, the targets show up when you reach the ingress waypoint.

Hi !!!

1- I don't think you can designate targets of opportunity. I've seen some topics about this and a lot of guys tried to find a way to target structures other than primary. They all ended with critic fail...

2- I think I can help with this one. Find HUDDATA in flight folder then try that :

                       
[Display001]
DisplayType=DIRECTOR
ObjectType=TARGET_ENEMY
ConeSize=15   <---- switch to 0 if you don't want the cone to appear
BoxSize=0   <---- this might delete the red square
BoxType=SQUARE
BoxColor=1.0,0.0,0.0,0.75
ConeModelName=redcone

Not SF2. It's IL-2 maybe with CUP.

Nice shot.

You'll be carpet bombed with tons of smelly cheese. Survivors will be drowned in cheap wine. We'll make you cry for mercy !!!

;)

Death toll is 4 with 2 more severely injured. The aircraft crashed shortly after take off.

Nice !!! Year? Is this an F-15A or C? I don't know how to externally differentiate A and C. I always need a close look in the cockpit to see the difference.

Some terrains reworked include such features. They're available in D/L.

Ok, it makes sense. It still seems a little bit weird. India is not very confident in its abilities to build high end technological aircraft but at the same time, you can find indian engineers and scientists in a lot of highly technological programs. I learnt some indians engineers have worked with NASA on some of the satellites they launch. There are indians students in almost all of the greatest schools and universities of the world. Of course, I understand this is not the same thing as building an aircraft on your homeland. My point is that I believe India now may have the knowledge to develop such programs like building new generation aircraft. This is why I don't fully understand the "I want you to pay to fix anything I make if it breaks" thing. Are they really so afraid of doing wrong?

   I'm french and, honestly, sometimes i don't understand our own logic. I remember when the contract for 126 aircraft was announced, they labeled it, "le contrat du siècle" ( the contract of the century). We were in 2012 and Rafale had won the MRCA in India. Dassault had so much trouble saling its aircraft and this first contract was just amazing so everyone considered it a flawless victory. It reminds me the aborted sale in Brazil where we were supposed to have a firm order. Ultimately, Brazil ordered Gripens...

   In indian case, it seems that there were problems in negociations between french and indians manufacturers. Most of the 126 aircraft were supposed to be built in India. It seems that Dassault faced difficulties to build a working production line for the aircraft in India.

It seems that the 36 aircraft France has sold to india will be the only ones in IAF inventory. French TV reports that Dassault 126 Rafales contract is about to be cancelled.

Sounds good !!!

What happened?

Congratulations !!!
