More immersive labels (no text) for NTTR


Recommended Posts

This is for those who still want some help recognizing targets, but do not want the Moby Dick of text covering the entire map.

 

I couldn't find one for Nevada that did what the label mods did in 1.5, so I made this one and am happy with it.

Put it here- C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\View - do not overwrite the main label file in the programs pathway. Putting it here also protects the mod from updates.

 

This still requires visual ID only the colors are the same, all ground units use _ for near and + for mid range, nothing for far, and air uses ' for near and ^ for mid range. No text at any range.

 

I prefer no labels in solo missions but playing with my friends who want labels, this is a compromise.

Thanks for this.

 

I fly mainly solo and, like you, prefer no labels. However, this is *much* better for those times where you do end up using them.

 

I wasn't familiar with the labels.lua settings and this saved me time getting up to speed.

Glad you guys like it, I will add a second optional version where the ground unit labels are uniform and the aircraft labels are visible a little farther out.

 

I saw an old label mod in this thread and thought it's where they went, what do you think would be the best thread for this, mods?
