Release of sdsbolt's radar plus app. More than meets the eye

[mongoose]

See http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum....php?catid=164 and http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...VIII-radar-zip

Finally the great app is released. PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

This app does many different things.

1. As radar app with aircraft having the respective radars as seen in
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...s.php?catid=80
and in
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...d=164&id=27734
and
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum....php?catid=164

all of these require a specific ShortName= in the aircraft xdp such as
"Blenheim MkI NF A.I.iii"
ShortName="Beaufighter IF(NF) (A.I.iv) 604 1940 "
ShortName="Mosquito NFII A.I.iv/v"
ShortName="Defiant MkII A.I.iv/vi"
ShortName="Mosquito_NFXII A.I.viii"

Of course these aircraft MUST have the relevant m3ds and dds files to show the radar station.

In addition.All these aircraft can operate without opening the "GCI radio" and just activating Alr-R for intruder missions over Europe which will be outside the range of the NF Control

2. As a non radar night fighter.

Some RAF early night fighters, namely some Spitfires, Hurricanes and Defiants, did not have radar sets but were controlled by Fighter Command radio. These aircraft can also use the app and require only a ShortName="XXXXXXXX N.F." I also make these as a separate model called XXXXXX_NF

They are controlled in the app by using Shift_R and Ctrl_R and Ctrl-Shift_R(only if multiple bogies in the vicinity)

3. As a Luftwaffe kampfgeschwader bomber using Knickebein X-Geraet bombing navigation device.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beams

These must have a short name ShortName="XXXXXXX K.b." such as ShortName="Do 17z-1 KG77 K.b."
I also make a separate stand alone model XXXXX_Kb such as he111h_f8+es_Kb

These are controlled by keys Alt+R . In missions that I make I specify when the app should be turned on and when turned off. For how to make Knickebein missions WRT where to put the facilities, I will do as a separate entry.

4. As a ILS Lorenz beam landing device.

This is part of the Luftwaffe ILS (Instrument Landing System) used in conjunction with approach and landing lights. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_beam

The short name is as for Knickebein ; as ShortName="XXXXXXX K.b." (as he111h_f8+es_Kb for bombers) Non bombers such as NJG night fighters must still keep such a short name such as ShortName="TOW_bf_110c_3_D5_DM K.b.", but in this case make the model xxxxx_Lz such as bf110c3_3C_DM_Lz

Like Knickebein X-Geraet navigation, these are controlled by keys Alt+R . In missions that I make I specify when the app should be turned on and when turned off. As to how to make Lorenz ILS airfield approaches WRT where to put the needed facilities, I will do as a separate entry.


5. As a Fighter control app to use with BoB RAF fighters such as in the new BoB install by Clive.

These aircraft have a ShortName="xxxxxx F.C." such as ShortName="BoB_Huri_017 F.C." i also make separate standalones xxxxFC such as BoB_Huri_017FC

Control is by Shift-R, Ctrl-R and Ctrl-Shift_R. In missions I specify when to start the app, as in missions with 100+ aircraft, the app sometimes gets a bit over enthusiastic!

Later I will upload all the xxxxFC aircraft and the missions to support them

More later as there are several things to upload for sections 3 through 5 in particular.
