Detailed damage info?

I read somewhere on here that you can make up info boxs and it will tell you what part of the enemy part you are damaging. How do you do this?

As far as I know you can only see your own damage details. You need to CTRL or ALT + rightclick or leftclick the info-window or create a new one and select what parameters to show. I think "Server" shows the "AI killed" messages whilst damage details or something like that shows what's happening to your own plane.

Its actually quite a good system, although as you say undocumented, you can select a box to show your damage and various other things, by creating a new box, right click on it while holding tab, then select your options, you can also make the borders of boxes dissapear and the titles, so you take up less space.

Server shows when you destroy a plane or "murder" a gunner etc, not sure if console output would show more detailed info, but it is nice knowing when you have taken out a gunner ;)

I would like it if the ability to see some of theses things was part of the server difficulty settings, especially your own damage.

+1

I think the damage report is unrealistic and might actually give you a hint to when to "knock off" from the battle.

It would be great to have that "oh crap" feeling when being hit, not knowing how serious it is :p

Agreed too, but what would be nice would be to have a mechanic's debrief after you land telling you just what you broke/damaged on your kite.

Or better yet; just a complete list of damaged stuff and perhaps the time they occured during flight (so you know what you might have broken on crash landing, after the fight).

I'd like the ability to "review" my aircraft from a First-person view type thing, walk around and inspect the aircraft.. Would be great :)

You can, it's in (your CoD folder)\manual.

In fact, the manual might not explain much about the aircraft but it does explain the interface quite well.

They are called Info Window in-games so I searched the manual for Window. Got 12 hits of which only one talked about overlayed windows.
Don't care to read the hole thing. Could you give me a pageno. plz. :-D

Yes, this would be a great feature and has been asked for several times - would be nice to see it included eventually. It would need to be a server option but would be very useful to learn how best to take specific planes down.

I don't care about online , I don't play online , nobody plays so why bother. I just mean for offline.

You can use a script
like

Code:

using System;

using maddox.game;

using maddox.game.world;



public class Mission : maddox.game.AMission

{



    public override void OnAircraftDamaged(int missionNumber, string shortName, AiAircraft Aircraft, AiDamageInitiator DamageFrom, part.NamedDamageTypes WhatDamaged) 

    {

            base.OnAircraftDamaged(missionNumber, shortName, Aircraft, DamageFrom, WhatDamaged);

            

            if (DamageFrom.Player != null )

            {

                GamePlay.gpLogServer (null, "{0} hits {1} : {2} \n", new object [] {DamageFrom.Player, shortName, WhatDamaged});//Test

      }

            

    }

}

The script shows the damaged part in the chat bar and in console (or serverlog if enabled).

May be usefull for training missions.

Sample Mission in Attach Bf109 against single Anson, it's a single Mission so copy the files to "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single"
