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

LuftWolf · 03-05-06, 02:53 PM

Ok, well after hours of sometimes frustrating work, I have made substantial progress on the entire issue of helo dipping sensors.

I have essentially applied the same fix to all helos, adding a shallow and deep "dipping sonar" to all the helos. I now need to write doctrines that work with the AI but don't break the AI FFG helo, and I hope that I can just edit down the already existing doctrines (they are direct copies from SC) and take out the commands that are no longer used.

I would have been done already, but I had to determine why half the helos ignored all their sonar sensors... turns out it was an old database value that is no longer used to record the number of sonobuoys on the helo, if its anything over 0, the sim treats the helo as if it is waiting to deploy a sonobuoy, and never checks the other sonar sensors, or that's what appears to be happening anyway.

SO, I have the rest of the day free, and barring a rendevous with a certain lady who just called me, I hope to have LWAMI 3.00 done tonight.
