Newbie questions. (FISTV lasing, artillery red square).

[Red_Donkey]

In the FISTV I try to lase targets with the optics in gunners view. Zoomed in I see the AZ, RNG, EL. And it only works sometimes. Just now, I lased a target, and I got range and all. Moved the vehicle and tried again, now it only has the old range info. Doesn't update. What am I missing

 

I remember when play SBPRO PE from 12 years ago, that there was a red artillery box on the map, when artillery was called in. Is it gone for realism now?

Need to investigate this; could be an initialization issue if human player is present  at gunner's position(F6 view) at very beginning of execution phase, or  if vehicle retracts/deploys  hammerhead assy.

Yes, availability of  red arty box  is bound to  realism settings now. With  high realism it is not displayed on the map.

-As a temporary work-around jump out to F8 view for a few seconds, so  AI would sort-out things on its own.
