• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This mod is intended to provide a tactical display that looks like the SCR-720 Air Intercept Radar mounted in the P-61 Black Widow night fighter. Unfortunately, in CFS3 the tactical display gives an all around view of azimuth and distance to targets. In reality this scope was only able to show the azimith and elevation of a target in a cone dead ahead of the aircraft. Another limitation of CFS3 makes it impossible to have the target indicators show up as the light yellow-green it should be, so they're just a uniform dark shade to hide any IFF information.

For more realistic usage you should use ctrl + shift + T to decrease the range to 4 (or better yet 1, or 2) nautical miles.

Now with two versions. The one with the default name is brighter and looks turned on. The other with the -off suffix is the one from the previous upload. I did figure out the tactical displays alpha layer controls the darkening of target indicators. To get the pips to have color you have to make the display transparent, but they still darken considerably unless the display is so transparent that it looks nearly as dark as the night sky. For now I've just left the markers settings a dark grey.
