Radar Buttons Reversed

sneekyzeke · 07-22-07, 07:04 AM

Hi, all; first post. First of all, a huge thank you to all the modders and contributors that have (along with Ubi) made this sim fantastic! I truly have the best hobby in the world thanx to communities like this. Anyway, has anyone else noticed that the aforementioned radar buttons (seem) to be reversed? I was in radars/communications in US Navy 1981 - 1994, and a PPI is a Planned Position Indicator, which is the prototypical round scope with a sweep. Nowadays an a-scope (or b-scope) is used with height-finding and fire-control radars and such. This is pointed out for realism, of course! Cheers, mates; Zeke.

When you say "reversed", are you refering to the pop-up help text when you cursor over the button? They ARE reversed...have been since 1.0

If so...all you need to do is go to Data/Menu/Menu and open it with notepad and scroll down to near the bottom of the page ... look for numbers 5681 and 5682.

Simply switch the text and labels from one to the other.

Save the file..and all is well.

BTW...Welcome to our house, Zeke!
Cheers!
