I would love the OOB window have the ability to sort by unit type. (e.g. list all flyable objects, list all ships etc.)
Also Different search criteria would help me to keep track of my units in great scenarios better.

Status: offline 		On the topic of the OOB window, is it possible to set the default 'nesting' option to closed? Scrolling through miles and miles of units to hide all of the units associated with a large airbase takes a long time and needs to be done every time the window is opened.

1. Truncate long unit names into two rows.
2. Make cursor status box display (left/right) side forced selectable , as it is, it overlays unit name more often

Thanx

Status: offline 		Ok, one more :)

For unit in the group, eg. ships, manually plotted course for specific unit(s) in the group, gets saved in save game.

On loading eg. autosave, if I have altered course for some unit in the group, it is always reset on loading autosave.
I guees this is by design, it always have been so.
But can you add this to the list, if no objections...

This is the problem description (big picture),
-in a mission there is a mine field , and I have managed to create, one pass small narrow passage, by two side by side MCM ships, through it
-now I need to transfer whole fleet through that narrow channel
-so, not to break default formation, I have manually plotted course for every ship except "LEAD" through that passage, in unit view
-they are slow and didn't pass through that passage in few sessions
-now, I have to plot course again and again for every ship on every load, because that manually plotted course is not saved , and it gets reset
by default group course and formation

So is it possible that you can implement this, or is it problematic, for some reason, so it is left as it is from the beginning?

Thanks

Status: offline 		If a group of planes on the GROUP SCREEN are all being jammed it won't indicate that by having "JAMMED" next to the group. You can tell that they really are all being jammed because if you go to the UNIT SCREEN it individually indicates "JAMMED" next to each one. If possible, could "JAMMED" be placed on the GROUP SCREEN, too, to indicate that the group is being jammed?

Thanks

Status: offline 		Customize any platform with sensors and weapons is great, fantastic, but ATM is only possible create in the sea (ship/submarine) or in the air (aircrafts).

I think that can be great if these customizations can be saved in Delta.ini and the database can read this customizations in a special tab for fill piers and air bases with this customized units.

For example, I created a MiG-23MLK with the weapons system from MiG-29 Fulcrum-A but I want to fill my airbases with this customization unit in one or some scenarios and ATM I cannot do that.

This customization units must be outside the DB...like now, with a delta template...but would be accesible in a special tab for any scenario when u are adding a unit.

Thanks.

As of now, the carrier capability is just a binary option, either an aircraft is carrier capable or not and either a ship is able to lunch/recover aircrafts - Carrier (Aviation Ship) - or not.

I propose to add a more realistic representation of the actual capabilities of each ship/aircraft, according (tentative) to four simple categories:
(1) VTOL only
(2) STOVL
(3) Sky Jump and arrested recovery
(4) CATOBAR.

Would it be possible to have a map overlay that shows territorial waters and another one that shows EEZ boundaries? (There is a .kmz file for Google Earth that shows EEZs, although I have no idea how to convert that into a map overlay.)

There are a LOT of scenarios where being able to know this would be extremely useful. Thanks!

Status: offline 		I understand there is probably never going to be the option of making our own units (making up our own ships, aircraft, etc.) but a feature I would like to see is the ability to create your own aircraft loadouts. Currently you can change out weapons via the editor while in the air, but once it lands, it will no longer have that type of loadout available. I'd like to make my own customized loadouts in some scenarios which would not need to be set through the editor over and over and over again.

Status: offline 		Linked to the "missile range and altitude thread", I want to propose an enhancement of the current missile model/ weapon energy stuff.

Basically, max range and PH of a missile are linked to several factors like target behaviour, missile onboard fuel, aerodynamics, flying profile and seeker/INS performances, but also launch platform altitude and speed. All is about energy managment, everything that will impact the missile energy will impact its final range and PH.

Currently, the target behaviour and the missile performances are pretty well modelled, however altitude and launch platform speed impact on missile kinematics are only partially modelled and this make this aspect of the game significantly different from reality. Indeed, fired at low altitude, where the air is more dense, missiles max range can be reducced as much as 70%-80% because of the increase drag : http://www.x-plane.org/home/urf/aviation/text/missiles/aam.html. In the same way, a missile/bomb fired at very high speed can have much better range. The height difference between the plane and the target plays also a role.

That's why I'm proposing several solutions :

- 1) Change the Missile "fuel pts/sec" value for the different altitudes bands. The lower bands would make the missile spend a much bigger part of its "fuel/energy" than the higher bands, in the same manner than aircraft spending more fuel at lower altitudes.
The surface systems like the SAM batteries would also be affected by this system but their fuel levels should be increased so they can still reach their maximum theorical range against high flying planes while their range against a low flying target would be reducced as it should.

- 2) Each altitude band crossed upwards by the missile on its path to the target would modify the final PH calculation by -5% or -10%, crossing bands downwards could either give a bonus or not change anything. The surface systems like the SAMs batteries would not be affected by this.

- 3) To help the player visualising the huge hit on the theorical missile range linked to altitude, the size of the "pink circle" would change in the different altitude bands, it would represent the max theorical range of the missile on a head on target situated in the altitude band of the launcher plane. The surface systems like the SAMs batteries would not be affected by this.

I've been told that the speed issue will be fixed in coming upgrade, so I will not talk of it.

Thanks for considering this or an alternative solution that the devs thinks will work better for correcting this issue.

Status: offline 		A request for the 'Mission Editor', this may already be in the plan but if not please consider.

For Ferry missions, it would add some realism if an air unit could have a different loadout on either leg of a cycling ferry mission. For instance a ferry mission between a land base and an CVN could have a tonnage based load on the way out but a ferry load on the way back to land. Than, when cycling, the AC would pick up the tonnage again and ferry it out to the ship.

Quite a few applications but mostly aesthetic in value.

Also, would it be possible to remove the features that have been included from the list, so it's clearer ?

Status: offline 		Please reinstate the ability to change midcourse, as you set a course, you can later click midway between two waypoints course settings and drag and create a new waypoint. It should also be possible when creating zones and mission area so you could click, hold and drag between two waypoints to expand area of zones/missions.

Press and hold the Ctrl key when you drag a waypoint, and a new one is created

The same goes for Ref Points.

Status: offline 		Could it be made so that more than one database window can be opened at the same time?

That would make it easier to compare platforms. At the moment, when I have the database window open on one unit, by the time I have found the other unit, and scrolled down to whatever section I'm comparing, I've forgotten the stats on the first. It would be nice to be able to have both windows open so I can see the figures side-by-side.

Edit:

Actually, this would be handy for lots of windows, such as the weapons window - so you can compare which weapons are loaded between platforms - but I imagine there's a nightmare balancing this with UI clutter! The database window would be most useful though.

Status: offline 		Sorry, something else I'd like to add. I have a feeling I might have seen this mentioned, but I couldn't see it in a search, so sorry if it has been repeated.

Could the 'contact emissions' screen show which unit has detected the emission?

In missions when I'm controlling subs, if my sub is detecting something, I often take that as a sign that the thing might also be detecting the sub! So it'd be useful to know what unit of mine is detecting the emissions, so I can take evasive manoeuvres.

The recent change to the activity log (showing the detecting unit) has been fantastic! I feel guilty to be adding to the feature requests thread so soon after such a big patch. I suppose CMANO could comb your hair when you slept, and there'd still be feature requests for it to tie your laces...

(PS - or am I being naive and the tactic of using detected emissions to know when my subs might be spotted actually useless? So such a feature would be pointless?)

Status: offline 		Hi Everybody,
after viewing this thread "Restricting weapon launch on hostile only when it enters a prosecution" something came to my mind. I can't post link for some reason.
in the savegame the f-16 is shooting at su-27 outside patrol/prosecution area because of ROE which is set to "Fire only at contacts that are positively identified as hostile".

What am I trying to suggest maybe we need 4th option in ROE which would be:
"Fire only at contacts that are positively identified as hostile in patrol/prosecution area"

Example: Your aircraft radar picks two bogeys, one is in the patrol/prosecution area and second one isn't, he identifies them as hostile, but only engages one in the patrol/prosecution area.

This is how it should work now.

You'll also notice with strike/intercept missions you can toggle between when to trigger mission based on the posture of the contact.
