Measuring?
-
yeah, true.
I guess that they are not many of us destroying runway in real life -
Sometimes you do not have to ask how it is done in Real life, you have to look how it is coded in Falcon and then do it the Falcon way…
-
Amen !!
Falcon has its own reality. it’s based on real life, but like any real life scenario, there are some différences at some level.
The falcon world is a world on its own. -
Well, runways were an example. Another recent example when measuring would’ve come in handy was when I decided to dive bomb a harbour with a dozen dumb bombs, and had the chance the spread.
Crusader, I was under the impression that slant range is the distance to something from something on a higher altitude?
Edit: Might’ve figured out a way of using slant range for measuring. I checked the length of runway 36 Seoul, went into the recon page in BMS, used satellite view, boxed it in, and divided the length of the runway (10480 feet) by the slant range, ~8560 feet. The result was 1,224, rounded off. Then I tried it on the second Seoul runway, (slant range from satellite PoV x 1,224) and I found that it seems accurate, give or take say 300 feet. Not sure how waterproof it is, but I’ll keep testing it and come back on it if anyone’s interested.

I knew there was some kind of difference. Your method sounds good !

another way to measure is to make two mark points at the begin and the end of the North-South runway
By making the difference in longitude, and the fact that 1minute of arc is 1 Nm in great circles (longitude) then you can get a good idea of the distance between the two markpoints.
I measured a few runways in BMS like that, but it works only accurately on great circles (longitudes)it’s fun to do though
-
An example? Not to good at longitude and latitude I’m afraid.

excellent advice as doing an actual target recon will show which runway sections are undamaged thank you
@Red:the lenght of the runway is irrelevant to destroy it
what you want is to see how many runway sections are made of (recon) and make sure you hit them all -
Easy way : manual drop
