About the targeting system...

I remeber that back in the old computer game X-Wing (Not X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter) there was a targeting computer that actually worked in the X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, and B-Wing. There was a 3D Radar, then the wireframe view of a Imperial craft and getting it into the center reticle and getting a clean shot. There was also another targeting computer system for the Death Star Trench Run mission, where the targeting system (I believe, about 95% sure) went from it's radar/wireframe targeting to the wireframe view of the trenches and a number countdown to how far you were from the exhaust port, and when you could see the exhaust port, a wireframe view of the port itself.

Yeah, that's true. I'm pretty sure I posted a pic of it somewhere.

Re: Keep the Cockpit

Yeah, the pic's on the second page of the General Board, in the "Fighter Controls"thread, pretty early on.

Re: Keep the Cockpit

Is there support for the radar system of TIE Fighter and XWA? Essentially, you have two circles, one at the top left and one at the top right. Top left is behind you, and top right is in front of you. So something in the middle of top right is directly in fronnt of you, and something at the left of top left is slightly behind and to the left of you.

Re: Keep the Cockpit

I loved those. Best radar systems ever.

Had a friend used to Rogue Squadron who'd come over and play X-Wing and the radar always messed him up. Made me laugh.

Re: Keep the Cockpit

Yup, it was truly awesome. And it was colour-coded for IFF (Red was Imperial, Green was Rebel, Blue was neutral, and so on), and the brighter a contact, the closer it was. Also, your current target was bracketed.

Comparing it to the RS radar... no, strike that, comparing any system with RS's radar is just mean. RS's system was just about downright useless.

Re: Keep the Cockpit

THX-1138 does battlefield 2142 support the hat on the joystick, and if so how do I activate it?

Nvm, I found a workaround. JoyToKey, if anyone else wants it http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/Jo … ersion.htm
