[F4RADAR] Lightweight standalone radar application
-
Great tool! Thank you! During TvT is amazing!
-
F4RADAR can now also be run from the 2D campaign map, so no need to enter 3D anymore (you still can though). In order to run from 2D make sure the campaign/TE time is running and your slotted into a fragged plane. In order to cycle the bullseye STPT load and save the DTC. Threat circles and lines do not yet work from 2D.
Changed the spotting again preventing dropping of contacts. Also added ground contacts. Please note that types.csv shall be present in the same folder as F4RADAR for correct identification of the radar contacts. Note that some double entries are present in the table and sometimes on the scope as well. I will try to fix this asap.
Thanks a lot Bibleclinger, Freudis and all other beta testers I forgot to mention. Great how human GCI’s and F4RADAR bring the TvT even further alive!

Nice! Can this be made part of the program install Tumbler31/B.S.?
-
A suggestion if I may: don’t let the program force quit if the user is on an outdated version.
Notifying the user of the update, sure, but force quitting just gets in the way if you need to quickly take up the GCI role and don’t have the time to update. IMO the pros of this feature simply don’t outweigh the cons.
After all, encountering already fixed bugs when using an older version is the user’s prerogative.

+100.
Couldn’t agree more. It would be far more than useful, because this would make the map immediately understandable for all (me, as first! :D), you know.
With best regards.

Lightweight standalone radar application not working:p

Is there a reason you haven’t updated BMS to U1 yet? If not, can you apply the update and then check if F4RADAR works?
-
Hello Tumbler,
With the recent update of BMS 4.35 U2, my F4radar can no longer run. It shows an error message “can only run based on BMS4.35.0”
I wonder if there’s any solution for this so that i can continue to run human GCI.
Thanks!Kind regards

As the BMS.exe has been heavily changed with U2 it nearly twice the size than before and F4Radar digs into the running exe process he might need some time the get it updated again
-
A new version to support 4.35.2. I wasn’t able to spend much time on this program, but please let me know your suggestions or improvement. I still foresee to keep updating this program.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to display SAM’s PPT threat circle in the F4radar?
I have had the PPT circle under the View setting checked but still can not get the threat ring which i saved in the DTC.
Any advice sharing would be appreciated.Kind regards

Have you tried loading into and aircraft and loading the DTC? On one occaision recently I needed to restart F4radar quickly to get the PPTs to show up after I loaded into 3D.
