As always, Arneh still amazes us all.
BTW, maybe Arneh is not just 1 guy, but the entire (former) Razorworks crew in disguise smile

I haven't updated this thread for quite some time now, so I guess it's about time smile

Not that nothing has happened, but it's mostly things which doesn't show up as much in screenshots. Like working on the radar modelling. But some things do show in screenshots.

I've been working on updating the HUD a little. First of all I've increased the resolution of the HUD texture, and I've made sure it remains the same size (relative to the screen) no matter what resolution you use. Though the higher HUD resolution does look a little squished when you run at 640x480... Do anyone still use that low resolution?

Also the radar is now able to show target markers on the HUD (if you enable the C-scope button on the radar MFD page), which looks like this:


Also for the Terrain Profile Mode (which is mostly for navigation in bad visibilty) the radar will draw profile lines on the HUD (also only if the C-scope button is enabled)


It will also show obstacles and hazzards the radar detects, like buildings, antennas and power pylons:


I've also worked a bit on the MFD pages, but mostly smaller changes. One which has had a bigger overhaul is the weapons page, this is for the gun. It now allows you to select burst size and put the gun in fixed mode (where it only fires straight ahead).

Really incredible how you are implementing things into the HUD view. Can you explain the c-scope actually is. I've seen that button on the ORT, but never bothered to find out what it was.

This will be so awesome to fly when it comes.

It just puts radar symbology on the HUD (and the ORT).

Thank you. I guess I'll have to reserve that function for the ORT I'm trying to put together then. Ah, you are making me very happy.

I had to pay close to $300 Canadian in an Ebay duel to get my copy of EECH. Sure I was swept away by the competition of the moment, but I would say that with everything you have done I have gotten every penny of the $300 dollars in use and enjoyment. Never regretted it and it looks like you will be taking me even further away from any possible regret. I have gotten so much enjoyment out of this title because of you.

Thank you for all of this.
