lemm Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Radar ranges shouldn't appear as circles and aircraft should take geodesic flight paths... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 While it may be accurate it would be confusing and a lot harder to code. Do you really want the developers to struggle with that when the current representation is acceptable, instead of doing cool stuff you will likely enjoy more?

HWP Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 And you just had to post it only 9 days after the Round Earth Conspiracy has been uncovered due to its failure to provide apocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWP Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 What in the flying fuck are you talking about? Ah, another neophyte still struggling to throw off the conspirators' blinders.

Chris Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 We made a decision not to do this early in development because while more accurate, it isn't actually more intuitive to the player. I stand by that decision, but even if I changed my mind it's now far too late to change it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Someone put together a few mock ups of how it would really look with distorted radar coverage shapes to mimic real world ranges and to be honest it looked crap More realistic maybe, hard to look at and make sense of when playing though. Keeping the maps consistent means when you look at the distance between your craft and the enemy it doesn't matter where they are, you can always make a pretty good assumption of their chance to engage. If the range is different, even though it looks the same on the screen, then you remove that consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacobandit Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Is it possible that you guys could make a separate "globe" style map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not going to happen for Vanilla release. More on modding/background it here for starters also here for Lead Dev comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
