winterwolves Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I managed to shoot down a light scout at the extreme range of my chinook, which was slightly outside of radar range. I got a message about loss of contact (the grammar in that message is not great) once my Condor moved away, but I chose "go to last known position". When my chinook neared the end of it's 12 hour flight (hope those rotors were balanced well - a small vibe can be really wearing over such a long time) it detected the crashsite again: The game detected it as a landed UFO that was travelling at 1500 km/hr.

Matthew Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It's not a crash site, it's a scout UFO doing a research mission on the ground. The traveling speeds are stil lbuggy. The UFO detection is percentage based, so it's possible, that a UFO floats for 2-3 hours in your radar range without detecting it, then lands and then the radar spots it.

Gorlom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 But matthew the dialogbox acctually says "UFO detected: crashsite-5" are you sure its a landed UFO? if so isnt the text displayed in the dialog box a bug ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes, that is a bit odd. The UFO is clearly landed rather than shot down. Hmm. I wonder if the game is treating all landed UFOs as crashsites so we can initiate a recovery mission for landed UFOs as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sorry, I totally that text in the dialog box . Thanks for the report and pointing the obvious for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I did actually shoot this down, but then lost it off radar once my interceptor left the area. Once I re-detected it by my chinook turning up it showed as a landed ufo called crashsite-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
