Kegetys' cockpit radar and another suggestion

[theavonlady 2]

Anyone who hasn't seen Kegetys' cockpit radar, can take a look at it here.

Kegetys, any plans to release this? If so, will it be released as something that can be incorporated into other people's addons?

Now for another similar idea. It would be great to have a similar cockpit feature showing GPS map coordinates. Is that something you're working on, too?

Ohh, now he needs to write an external module to add

more vehicle physics to OFP and allow multi gunners.

GPS? Hasn't that already been done? DKM Challenger BAS

Black Hawks?

Or do you mean GPS GPS as in the one that leaves a

"Cookie crumb trail" which I've used to get off

incredibly large lakes?

The Blackhawks have a visual map with the vehicle's current position on it. This only works for OFP's official maps.

I'm referring to OFP's GPS coordinates. If I'm in a mission and I have to go to HE11 ( ) on a map that's not supplied with the game, I would like to see the coords displayed in the cockpit.

Actually it works for any map providing you create one for it and use the correct init line....look in the readme.

allow multi gunners.  

Been done, check klink's huckens boat.

the GPS part wouldnt be much of a problem at all....there's a few simple formulas to get that, and all you would have to do is make a script to select a set of animations or set object textures for the given location..... i need to see the radar

No, it was just a test and it didn't work well enough... I dont even have it anymore as the hard drive it was on broke some time ago (The clip is from december 2003).

Kegety!

Go and make your own dangnab game already, or get hired by BIS!

Reflective waters, radar, a host of addons!

And too bad, it looked rather nice, despite not working well. Is tehre any chance you have the details on going about to make it?

Must've been the one in the cardboard box PC.

OK.

Nevertheless, for all of the eyecandy that it is, this maps don't help you pinpoint a location as much as coordinates do.

Anyway, I tossed an addon idea up into the air.

Where it lands, I know not where.

You constantly amaze me you really do.

Real shame mate you wont release it even if it didnt work too well I think it would be a nice addition to the game. Most radars dont exactly work too well anyway. Certainly not how games portray them, there are always issues with blindspots and drop outs.

Why didnt it work? was it just the reliablilty or was it another issue?
