[F4RADAR] Lightweight standalone radar application
-
Greetings Tumbler. I tried running F4Radar on a dedicated server, but it doesn’t appear to notice that the game is in a cold 'pit. Can you confirm: Does the aircraft need to be running in 3D? Or does that matter?
Cheers,

A few suggestions.
Being able to see PPT and lines without being in a hot jet would make things easier. Would be nice to see lines still in 2D.
Tied that a long time ago, but couldn’t get it to work. Might have another go
If possible it would be great to have the group/contact data display already in core information format above the radar return.
B/E
Will have a look
Altitude
Is already there
Declaration
What do you mean?
Number of contacts
You mean for agged contacts?
Speed
Is already there
Would like to see the hollow and solid dot to be implemented again.
That functionality was never there. Is not very trivial
Also boats could get a different symbol and also use solid and hollow symbols as well.
Will have a look
I genially love this app and have really gotten into GCI. If these are possible that would be great if not that is fine. @Tumbler31 Keep up the good work
Thank you so much

JollyNormally it runs fine in both 2D and 3D, although some elements are missing in 2D. Was the server running with norender?

After listening to BibleClinger’s excellent podcast on GCI, I decided to have a look at one of the F4RADAR quirks he mentioned: multi threading. I think I caught most races, but if you notice weird behaviour, please let me know.

Tumbler,
we love your application and we use it much!
Another couple things if possible,-
we would love to be able to see the IFF code on the tracks together with all the other info,
-
it would be very helpful to be able to change colors on each track, after the team color set by options
and a notice, after a while, for some reason the scope goes totally empty for some seconds or minute and then goes back full picture again. If this happens to all users, then it would be nice if you could have a look there, to fix that perhaps.
Many thanks and you have our great respect for this work!

we use your program a lot in our wing.
and we made this request a while ago so we wanted to do it again.
Could you somehow make your app create a server and be able to connect remotely via a web browser from another location to give our wing pilots who don’t have a PC the ability to participate in wing operations as GCI.

@VIPER-0 I saw your request but that will be something for the long term

I was meaning to say have that information displayed above the contact in order that it should be said in the ACC standards.
Would it be possible to add the type of SAM site to the center of the threat circle?
I thought years back the solid dots means it is actively emitting and the hollow dot just means that it has been reveled.
Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, still puzzled how that happens. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Tried various fixes but couldn’t really resolve it.

Sorry, I read it three times, but I’m not sure I understand it

I’ll have a look

By saying tracks I am referring to the aircraft symbol on the F4RADAR, along with all it’s data and history dots.
According IFF, if the codes where available in the shared memory, would it be easier for you to bring them up?
Oh, and one more,
can we have the bullseye indication being shown continuesly close to the cursor?Many thanks!

Hi Tumbler, is there going to be an updated F4radar for U3?
-
+1 please dear Tumbler!
After every update it’s time to do our A2G proficiency before F4RADAR is updated lol.

As always thx for the support continue , our VFS don’t update BMS until F4RADAR available
-
@chihirobelmo Please tell me how your Squadron normaly use it during a mission ? And what benefit does it give your Squaron? I am asking because my VFS are looking after add ones to do the missions even better, and more realistick…

@Killroy Some examples:
-
- version 0.49 changes (28.11.2023)

I can’t seem to get F4Radar to work anymore.
Using BMS 4.37.3.2 on KTO and F4R v0.49, neither in 2D (with clock running and slotted in a non-airborne flight) nor in 3D (on the ground) does F4Radar show any airspace info. Bottom-left always reads “BMS Status: off”, no frequency/packages lists are displayed, no bullseye, no radar tracks.
