enemy planes on the map

[adler_1]

hello

How do you make your map show all the planes irrespective of distance ? for example the enemy planes taking off as far as 50km away ? right now i see the enemy only when they are very close maybe 2-3 km  away on the map .

You could potentially add a vehicle in the mission as a "spotter" and give it a radius that encompasses the entire map. (I'm not entirely sure if there's a maximum spotting distance as I haven't actually tried this).

Max Spotter radius is 50km. Here are a bunch of fake vehicle objects that are sprinkled round the map, they are indestructible and not engageable (AI will ignore them). This should give you full coverage as you test your mission (move them to the right spot on your map). Remember to select them all and set enabled "false" once you have finished the mission, or your players will get full spotting too!

I am trying to get an enemy Ai flight to show on the (pilot) map in the game ... is that the spotter ?

The spotter is the ability to display on the map what the spotter plane see in the spotter area.

 

For what you want, you have to see in the dificulty settings.

Difficulty settings ? where?

When you want to run a mission, you have a button Normal/expert/Custom. Select custom and choose what  you want.

Ah, in the Game, not in the FMB (editor). Ii use custom, and HUB on etc in the game thus.

I meant how to get the mission translator Icons (they work partly) but especially, the various planes and the route visible on the pilots map when you play the game after saving the FMB lot, thus when editing a (newly made) mission in the FMB.

Translator icon is static.

 

Have a look on that post, it will  help you
