Read about that shiny new scripting command (setFeatureType) in a Jet´s DLC topic, found it has a config brother, and figured somebody might enjoy this :smile_o:

MRB A3 Air Visibility


======================

This addon makes all ArmA 3 planes and helicopters visible across your set view-distance.
Originally these assets would only adhere to object view-distance, which for obvious reasons is no optimal solution.

In technical terms this addon puts all air assets into "landmark" state.
(which is kinda underused anyway with only 4 or 5 objects taking advantage of it - the carrier being one of those for instance).

The engine hard limit on "landmarks" lies at 200 planes/helicopters, according to the biki:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setFeatureType

Disclaimer: I have´nt tested what happens when you put 201 entities :D

 

Why:
- Very high object viewdistance might not be feasible for the lesser PC´s out there.
=========================================================================================================


Installation:
- Put the addon .pbo included with this archive into any of your modfolders and load it as usual.
- For use on online servers with active signature file checking the .bisign file needs to be in the same location as the .pbo,
- Also the mrb.bikey must be allowed by the server owner (Note: the key file is not required by clients).
=========================================================================================================


Content:
- readme.txt (you're reading it)
- mrb_a3_airvisibility.pbo (the addon)
- mrb_a3_airvisibility.pbo.mrb.bisign (signature file for online use)
- mrb.bikey (key file for server owners to allow usage of this addon)
=====================================================================


Version History:
- 1.0 initial release
=====================================================================


Stay Alpha!

 

PS: megathx to .kju for allinone.cpp´s!

 

 

Get it on the steam workshop

 

 

 

edit: Preview pictures with & without the addon loaded.

Taken from a comanche gun-cam, hovering in 3km height at the most southern point of the big island (i always mix them names up) - one comanche and a warthog standing on the salt lake.
