I don't really play Arma any more, but I've been upping my map reading and land navigation skills IRL recently. This is a great little explanation, I might even download Arma and Ace again so I can practice at home!
how do I bring up the note pad?, I don't see any item under notepad in zues except for a static intel object. is there another item I need that allows me access to a note pad?
Great video and explanation, but there was no need to draw a second line, your location became immediately clear. When you have drawn the first line, you can orient yourself on the high point of the ridge on the right
The point of triangulation (in the video's case, its Bi-angulation and not triangulation, since he used only 2 reference vectors) is to try get the most accurate position in the map, usually for marking artillery spot, or small objects within the grid. But if all you need is a quick general location of where you are, usually biangulation and terrain estimation should be fine
This might be the cleanest, most comprehensible to the point video about land navigation basics I have seen so far and I could not have explained or demonstrated it any better. Not sure how I got here and why I watched this since it's old news to me but spot on dude.
No a radian is a unit of angle that's equal to about 57 degrees; 3.14 radians equals 180 degrees and 2*Pi radians is a whole circle, 360 degrees. Each of the lines on the outer dial are in milliradians, 6400 milradians to 360 degrees. You're not wrong because its like comparing Meters to Millimeters, but no one says aim the gun at 0.093 Radians.
as a former 11 years long "carrier" of boyscouts (not to flex but i won "tuscany" (italy) regional tournament about "navigators", at my times, long time ago XP) i know how to navigate ^^ but im new to this game (that i wanted for long time, so much time wasted on games like CoD) so i need you "pros" teach me some things ^^ great video o7
Not easily if you don't use a MicroDagr. Since 10 digit grids are 1 meter square, its next to impossible to accurately find and mark those on the paper map. But with the MicroDagr hooked up to the Vector 21, you can find the 10 grid and elevation of visible target pretty conveniently.
How do I build a land navigation course? I want to set up about 15 waypoints were a candidate finds a sign with a code on it (A1, B2, etc) and proceeds to the next waypoint until the candidate finds his four or five points and completes the training? My zeus skills are minimal, my scripting skills are nonexistent. Need help.
My map tool is not showing. I m pressing the self interact while reading the map (Ctrl + Win) The self interact button appears but it doesnt display options when hovering. I Unsubscribe and subscribe again to ace, restarted, nothing. Any ideas?
Make sure that you have the vanilla arma map in your map slot, if that doesn't work insure that you have your key binds correct and that a map tool is in your inventory.
