SAM units - threat rings #40

Open 132ndNeck opened 7 years ago

Would it be possible to add threat rings around SAM units? (either have it as an option to turn them on/off, or have them be on, or make it a admin choice?)

This can be for both SAM units deteced by blue forces, or also pre-defined in the mission editor with a certain name, that make them show up (For example long range SAM's like SA-10 should be able to be shown on the map in order to facilitate planning for long range interdiction mission for example)

@birgersp do you know if the sensor range is possible to retreive from DCS?

If not, then a lookup table is needed so that we can estimate the range based on the unit type returned from DCS (or set manually in MINT)

Probably possible, but I think it makes more sense to just implement this client-side (lookup table). When the app displays some unit it could display any additional information (that it has) about this unit type aswell.
