Status: offline 		On the Mission Editor, the 'Maximum' and 'Minimum' strike radius fields only work for planes on strike missions.

Could they be made to apply to boats and subs on strike missions too, please? At the moment, they'll chase anything on the map and there's no simple way to limit the range. (This could be useful for boats stationed at docks - they could move out to strike anything too close, then return)

Also, on a similar note, perhaps could the Transit*/Patrol/Attack speeds in the Patrol Mission Editor for boats and subs have a 'Stop' setting. This way, they could be ordered to stay still when patrolling (not engaging a target), or not to move when attacking.

*Obviously, not necessary for the transit setting! Or for planes!

When using the "set orientation" command either have a text box where you can write in the value you are after or have "+/-" buttons. Nothing more frustrating that trying to get the right value and the slider keeps bouncing back and forth above and below where you are aiming

You know you can use the arrow keys to fine-adjust the direction, right?

Ugh.

For never trying that.

Status: offline 		For ships, when their side doctrine is "Never use UNREP" when you attempt to UNREP, a message appears that no suitable UNREP location is available. I was wondering if this message could be changed to "This unit has 'never use UNREP' enabled under side doctrine". Very small change, but it would help ease confusion.

Status: offline 		Hi all,

I would like to formally suggest a toggle option for the audio warning siren that plays whenever a hostile weapon is detected.
Though often an essential warning, there are plenty of circumstances where it is not particularly necessary, and in high-pressure moments it can be quite a racket.

A toggle could be anything from a checkbox in the options menu to a small dedicated toggle button on the main screen toolbar.

On a secondary note, there are also ways that the audio warning could have its utility multiplied - have seperate tones for SAM, AAM, AshM, "unknown" etc.

Thanks!

Just added this to our list. Pretty reasonable request.

I know I can be careful and avoid this. I use the mouse wheel a lot. Would limiting the playing area additionally help software performance? Yes, nick picking ... but just curious.

Status: offline 		I would like to be able to set special message pop-ups for new contacts / contact changes by contact type; in large scenarios it's common for heaps of bogeys to be present, so setting pop-ups for new contacts stops the game every few seconds. Being able to set the pop-up for new skunks or goblins would allow the player to run in time compression while stopping immediately if a goblin or skunk is detected (and not every couple of seconds when a bogey appears)

As a follow-on, being able to customise the sounds for different contact types would be great, but this is a distant second to the above.

Status: offline 		Are the following statements true?

Weapon system reliability and accuracy are separate characteristics which are "baked" into the database and can not be altered by the designer.

Proficiency is set by the designer globally for a side. It is related to training/non-technical/non-database factors.

Additionally,

Is there any talk about being able to assign differing proficiency levels to individual systems per side in the editor? For example 2/6 F14s are aces, the other 4 regular. Or being able to set "maintenance = reliability" levels the same way?

Status: offline 		I am not certain on your first point so won't speculate.

On the second point however, you can already do that: In the clip you see a Sqn of Harriers most are Veteran, 5 are Aces and one (a new replacement) is Regular.

You set the proficiency by unit or group with the drop down in the lower right of the box.

B




EDIT: Re-read you're post. Yes the designer sets the proficiency for the entire side based on how he feels the factors he believes are important, training, moral, rest, experience etc. Then adjusts the individual units base on the same thing but more fine tuned.

Status: offline 		Thanks, did not see that option on the lower right. Gee, more factors to test and play with ...

Without checking a bunch of scenarios, do designers typically highlight in the briefings which units are less than or greater than "regular" or do they have the player check those assignments in the OOB view like you show above? I would place them in the briefing but I could see testing the players attention to detail too.

Think I would quite like that. Would use with some custom layers to restrict the viewable area to those layers. For example would be cool to use an nautical chart (am sure I saw an post on here where someone did use one) or some other height map as an map instead. So I do not see the hard edge where the nautical chart stops and the black void, relief, or blue marble kicks in. Though I presume you would also require something to prevent units wandering out the viewable area in order to make that work? Well could use the ORBAT to select them and then change their course back I guess.

Unrelated though I can think another View Setting similar to the "Borders + Coastlines" that would be cool, another setting that shows you the both the Land Borders and Territorial Waters akin to what you can see on the OpenStreetMap.

Open up windows explorer, find the CMANO directory, then open up \Scenarios.

Inside you can creat new folders and move things about to your heart's content. I do this to keep things in order, as well as keep WIP scenarios and older builds separate from the rest.

Status: offline 		Is there any chance to change "Range and Profile" when used in strike missions?
e.g. When F-16Blk30 use AGM-65G have a Hi-Lo-Hi profile.
It would be great if we could change this to Lo-Lo-Lo or Med-Lo-Med etc and at the same time be advised about the new mission range.

Status: offline 		OK, looks like trying to make sub folders in the pre-set folders e.g. LIVE, Northern Inferno, Standalone Scenarios and Tutorials will not work but custom folders outside those folders will. You can move scenario into and out of those pre-set folders but can't make folders within them that Command recognizes. Thanks.

Status: offline 		Strange. I just did a test - created a sub-folder in \scenarios\LIVE\ called "TestFolder". I then copied a scenario into the new "TestFolder". Started CMANO and found the .scen file in the "\scerarios\LIVE\TestFolder" with no problem. I'm running CMANO v1.11, SR5, Build 847.1. Don't know why it does not seem to work for you.

Status: offline 		please add push points

if my strike package goes to the target one more time while my SEAD is refuelling i'm going to scream

if you're given more than a token force of fighters to play with and they have to go more than a few miles to target this inevitably becomes a big problem. i should not have to watch the whole breadth of my forces to constantly redirect idiots deciding that they're going to push into the SA-10 without SEAD or push over the border without their escort (who knows what they're doing)

there needs to be an option to require different elements to group up at RPs or areas before they go to the target. even if this results in the whole package bingoing out it's at least preferable to losing sometimes thousands of points in scenarios because my low-level attackers suicide into the NEZ of some grumble.

also SEAD needs to be way more conservative with their ARMs, assigning a flight of wild weasels to SEAD escort and then having them dump every single HARM into the first search radar they get into range of is ridiculous, it's even worse if it's a shilka which can't even threaten their package of standoff bombers.

shamal especially is almost unmanageable because of these issues.
