FSDreamTeam releases Ground Radar Mode for the default F/A-18

(1/3) > >>

virtuali:
FSDreamTeam is pleased to announce the release of a little utility that will enable a Ground Radar Mode in the default F/A-18 included with FSX Acceleration Pack, FSX Gold and FSX:Steam Edition. The software is also compatible with Prepar3D, but you'll have to install the F/A-18 from FSX first.

The utility is very easy to use, and it requires just a single key press, which by default is mapped to TAB+G, but you can change it easily to any other keypress, using the Couatl Key Mapping menu, like in GSX.

The Ground Radar mode will work with the default F/A-18, or any other 3rd party add-on (freeware or payware) that calls the default F-18 Gauge.

The product costs 4.95 USD, which is the lowest price we are allowed to set on Esellerate. There's no Trial version, but the installation and activation is the same as any other FSDT produtct.

Great news.

The product description says:

"The Ground radar mode can be used to "target"AI vehicles and airplanes on ground that don't move. This is the opposite of the default Air-to-Air mode, which only targets flying objects that move"

Will the gauge also see AI ships (AC Carriers and such)?

Thank you,

Johan

Great! Now we can make the famous "F-18 approach" to airports, like Midway, that have no other form of approach systems! No ILS, no localizer, GPS too inaccurate? No problem! Light up the Ground Mapping radar system, and down ya go, no matter the weather or time of day!
Great for navigation too, at night and in bad weather!
I am definately looking into this one! Thanks for getting it out there. Although I'm so, ummm, FRUGAL that I don't know if I can buy it or not. I'll have to ask my lovely wife...

I think so, it targets all AI vehicles of any type ( airplane, ground, boat, etc. ) provided they move slow enough. Less than Mach 0.1, so this should be ok for any slow moving ground vehicles.

That's a pleasant surprise.  Nice to see a new development. :)

Will the radar also pick up on SimObjects of the Viewer or SimpleObject category (SIMCONNECT_SIMOBJECT_TYPE_ALL)?  I ask because I'm wondering what'll happen with AI SimObjects used as scenery (for example, with FSDT sceneries or FS Active Fires).
