LuftWolf and Amizaur's Realism Mod Poll #7: FFG Helo Dipper

LuftWolf · 03-07-06, 05:56 AM

The AI Helo has multiple passive dippers set at 45ft, 600ft, and 1400ft. I can't enable them one at a time, so they all go active (meaning they start listening) at once when the helo is below 50ft. I have compensated for this by reducing the sensitivity of the dipping sonar.

I HAVE to share this with you guys.

I set up everything exactly the way I thought it should be only to find that when the helo came out of the dip, any contacts that it detected would still be updated on the link even though the helo was not still dipping!!! I thought this project was screwed... imagine, dip once, and permanent Show Truth on any detected contacts...

Fortunately, I was able to find a way to order AI platforms to drop contacts manually based on certain criterion... in this case, if the target was a sub and the helo was going over 10kts (meaning that it is not dipping).

I have put a lot of work into getting this just right for you guys, I can't wait to deliver it hot and fresh into your hands!
