Boring Mod

Can we expect more Capable sonars ie more range more depth if that won't crash the game ofc since it would allow for more flexibility in mission creation currently the sonar helps mostly with wrecks at depths that you can visibly see with a helicopter from above (ofc i might not be 100% aware of real world limitations on sonar but still)

Can we expect things like sonobuoy , air-launched and ship-launched depth charge/torpedo , dipping sonar? Glad to play ASW in arma3!

If you ever decide to come back to modding in this space, maybe something like this for the AA radar pages would be fun?

Great mod Savelli. Someone PLEASE incorporate this into the mod "Hellenic Armed Forces MOD - Submarines" and the HAF other ship mod.

Hello, thanks, I am not sure why it's at front page again, but I am glad you like it.

I just broke my neck from nodding my head so hard

yeah this mod deserved more credit at launch. Give this man a strong head nod at the least.

если бы ты научил АИ избегать затыков при движении - цены бы не было )

Great mod...just tried it and its fun...Now I was looking for a fishing mod and cant believe I cant find anything...anyone knows a fishing mod?

impressive mod

Good to see this on the front page again. Love this mod.

Cool idea. I'm certainly going to play about with this. Hopefully the Expeditionary Forces DLC will be compatible as well

Cool, I'm glad you liked it!

This is such a niche mod but such a cool concept. I used it for exactly one mission in our campaign and everyone had a blast.

We had to go locate and salvage a downed aircraft in the ocean while pirates and other mercenaries tried to get to it first. It was great.

Yay Garmin fish finder! This will bring my ARMA fishing experience to the next level.

Depends on size of crate and how deep it is, and what else is on the sea floor. Try it out and see.
If object is too far or too small, and thus has very small angular size, it might be not detected by sonar, because it is implemented with lots of line intersections.

we lose mission crates all the time in the ocean. will this show the crates?

Hi there!
Great job on the sonar mod, it's technically very impressive.
I saw you did a test with a helicopter.
I'd like to be able to activate it too, is it possible with a script call?
I'd like to use it over the sea.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Hi, I don't develop this any more. But thanks for the links anyway, as radar enthusiast I will study them with great interest.

Hey!
Saw your previous comment where you tried it as a Radar, but not sure if it matched the real world?

There is a Radar system on the F-15/16/18 and AC130 called AESA (Advanced electronic scanning array) which has SAR Capabilities.
Check it out:

I would love to see a version of this here!

К слову - дрон-сапёр - это практически противолодочный комплекс. На Бе-12 можно сделать глубинные бомбы (они есть в изначальной модели этого самолёта) и по отметкам либо уничтожать мины у побережья, либо топить диверсантов на минисубмаринах.

Радар не возьмёт объекты под водой. Я летал на вертолёте с миноискателем в рюкзаке - и соответственно при переключении на миноискатель в боковых окнах мины на берегу при полёте на малой высоте отмечались. точно так-же и с дроном для разминирования из "Правил Войны" Вот интерес и возник - а нельзя-ли прописать похожим образом обнаружение морских мин, лодок подводных и чего-то крупного металлического на дне.

Наверное было бы проще модифицировать стандартный радар, прикрутить его к самолету, и как-то отметить те объекты чтобы они обнаруживались радаром.

Примерно как миноискатель дефолтный, только радиус обнаружения больше - около мили в радиусе от применяющей его техники - катера или самолёта.

Наверное можно, но я слабо представляю как работает магнитометр, никогда им не пользовался.

А магнитометр таким образом можно прописать - скажем на самолёт (конкретно - Бе-12)? То есть что-бы он находил под поверхностью моря мины, малые лодки подводные диверсионные, крупные объекты искусственные типа кораблей и самолётов затонувших?

Fair enough, I'll have to check it out later. Cool mod regardless.

Hi, I guess it can run client side, but I didn't test it that way.

Does this need to be on both client and server or can it run clientside?

Thanks!

Hey Sparker :-). Looks good buddy.

oh wow you actually have done it before thats awsome!

Ok, so you mean just a radar to scan terrain. I've tried it, looks pretty fun:
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/231509-forward-scan-sonar-for-ships/?do=findComment&comment=3423220
But I don't know how it matches real devices of this kind, and what would be the use of it in the game.

yes i meant radar for overground
that buoy thing would be nice though if you still mod

Radar doesn't penetrate under water.
And IRL they deploy buoys from helicopters to scan for submarine sounds. The only way for a device to perform an acoustic scan is by being submerged into the water.

maybe but i meant so you can scan from under helicopters for things like anti sub warfare - do you know if theres a thing like this for radar already?

Like a sonar buoy deployable from helicopter?

(yes i mean underwater)

Hey amazing mod! Would it be possible to have something like this just for helicopters?

I did just that, in fact it looks good enough... just not as good as your sonar of course. I am more of a scripter rather than a moder at this point. Here is the code: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/233551-alien-like-motion-scanner-using-the-gps-minimap/

Thanks for the kind words!
You could also look at the tactical radar mods, like DUI or ShackTack. You will need to add some animation with an expanding circle. You can take a picture element with a circle and animate it growing in size. I think it will do.

I did, but using the GPS mini map, because to be honest I suck at doing GUI elements on Arma 3. I was thinking that your mod already has like 90% of the assets needed for a simple Motion Tracker that is why I was so annoying about it. It is sad to see one of the brightest modders and mission maker leave the scene. Still all your contribution have been great and helped preserve the player base as much as any official DLC would. You should be proud!

No, I'm done with mod development for this game. But you can try to make this indicator yourself, it shouldn't be hard.

Понял. Как будет время, попробую посмотреть в чем проблема.

Ставлю два катера. На первом катере водитель автоматически становится "игрок". На втором катере захожу в меню водителя и ставлю "игровой". Начинаю игру и переключаюсь между юнитами, нажимая клавишу "U".

Через какое меню или клавишу? Или через мод?

Ставлю два катера и переключаюсь с одного на другой по очереди.
