RAF radar navigation in BoN (and BoBP)

[Jeronimo83]

Question: is implementation of (historical) radar based radio navigation for the RAF in Battle over Normandy planned? Currently, as far as I know, there is no possibility to ask ground control for direction cues (GCA) to home base in BoBP. Already nicely implemented in the sim are radio based navigation instruments like the Bendix for the USAF and similar sytems for the luftwaffe and USSR, but no means of bad weather navigation for the RAF. Since the RAF will be the major representative of allied operations in BoN, I wonder if this will be modeled. In it’s simplest form, it should be possible to request a vector to home base.

Before expanding radio options it would be great to fix existing issues. (e.g text not representing acutal voice and AI function like cover me = follow me, sometimes messages are being repeated by loop, USAF or RAF do not say Callsign at all resulting in a weird radio voices etc.)

Any type of radio navigation is welcome for me... though I agree other items mentioned above probably need fixing first, but for me I play mostly multiplayer..   and when trimming the treetops in my mossie at break neck speed.. probably gonna need that radio compass

This definitely.  Good post.  Hope dev's are reading, as this is a much needed suggestion.  I hope/expect the dev's are already on it though.

 

Happy landings,

I don't have BoBP so I wonder if Lorenz landing aid is already implemented. The RAF SBA and BABS systems should be implemented too for BoN
