Aileron Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Would it be a good idea or bad idea to add aiming crosshairs? Also, you could add a calculated aiming crosshair that show the proper lead to targets. " 'Good' is merely a point of view.

MillenniumMan Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 Modified version of something that was implemented in one of the pre-releases but couldn't be added because of an error when switching between views. http://www.ssforum.net/uploads/profile/photo-335.jpg?__rand=0.07557700+1247096850Gotta...... hold.... present for ........... mommmeeeeeyyy.....3... 2...... 1.........

Aileron Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Posted April 6, 2004 Ok, but what about the second question. Will there be a feature that calculates the lead required for a shot and displays it in a nice and easy manner? " 'Good' is merely a point of view.

MillenniumMan Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Ok, but what about the second question. Will there be a feature that calculates the lead required for a shot and displays it in a nice and easy manner?That would make it too easy. I can see it now..."Computer, show me where I should shoot that noob in the spyder and when I should shoot" If anyone here has played vendetta, they would know how much it sucks to have the computer do all the work, rather than hunt on your own. Although that's where heatseeker missiles come in handy. But don't expect that either. You've heared noobletts whine about cheating before, wait til they get nailed with heatseekers http://www.ssforum.net/uploads/profile/photo-335.jpg?__rand=0.07557700+1247096850Gotta...... hold.... present for ........... mommmeeeeeyyy.....3... 2...... 1.........

Aileron Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Posted April 7, 2004 I dunno if adding a calculated crosshair makes it that easy. If somebody is moving properly, a shot claculated by their velocity should miss 9/10. It would be those who constantly move in a straight line that would get hurt by this.

Aileron Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 The real reason I want this though is that you can include a player's ping into the calculations. That way, all my shots won't be 200 ms off because of my phone line. " 'Good' is merely a point of view. " -Palpatine, Supreme Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Dark Lord of the Sith
★ Dav Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 i think crosshairs will be needed to aim and dogfight properly, and a lag accounting one should fix alot of lag problems. SSCC Desert Storm OwnerSSforum Admin
