About war zones

[Giorgio]

Dan,

I have not understood a thing about war zones. How are they defined? And are they fixed? I mean, is there something like a map where
you can point at a region and say "this is a war zone"? Or are they country-based?

I think I'll have many interesting problems with war zones (business jets can have a lot of valuable missions over them!).

Thanks,

Giorgio

The war zone are defined by country or airport code, FsP will look the closest
airport , look it's code and compare it with a list that it have...
So this is intteresting because you can define a country with a 30% risk
and one particular airport on this country to be 100%

Anyone can edit this file and add or remove place
here the current CFG file that define the "dangerous area":

Code:

--------------------------------------------------------
DANGEROUS COUNTRY LIST FOR FSPASSENGERS
--------------------------------------------------------
This file contain the ICAO code of the dangerous place
in the world and the percentage of their dangerosity.
You can edit the list data and add items.

Notice that the player can disable "dangerous country"
feature in it's option.

"=??" Code ICAO might be a whole country code as for
      example "OA" for Afganisthan or a precise airport
      code as "KCCR" for Buchanan airport. Thus you can
      define country with moderate risk that will have
      some airports with high risk.

"R:"  is the percentage of failure risk that will be ADDED
      to the player's failure percentage. This is done to
      simulate airport with bad maintenance abilities.

"W:"  Is the percentage of war danger at low altitude,
      it simulate a percentage of receiving ground shot
      at low altitude (<6500) in war zone.
      IMPORTANT: a level of 60% or more mean active war
      and you will hear gun noise around you. less than
      that you don't hear war noise but you are likely
      to be aimed by sniper.

NOTICE
------
A high rate of descent/ascent lower considerabily
the risk of taking a shot. The less you stay at low
altitude, safer you are. The actuall threat level is
displayed in the minidisplay in "verbose" mode.

You have a dialog in FsP were you can look to find wich place are dangerous
if you click "edit cfg" button it will open the CFG file ready for editing:

Impresseeve..... Most Impresseeve.

[Zatnikitelman]

But what happens if you land in a War Zone?

[jboweruk]

Depends. If you arrive safely you get credited if not........

Uruguay!? What's wrong with the airports in Uruguay? I lived in the country for almost 2 full years; it's a super peacefull country.

Well, I do remember that there weren't even any gates at the Montevideo airport. We were shuttled to and from the terminal by bus. The airport
wasn't of highest quality, but it did the job.

[Zatnikitelman]

But if you look closely, on Dan's image, it shows Uruguay as 0% War Zone Likely 10% Failure rate.

Awesome Dan...Simply awesome....

What I love about this forum and Dan is that when you ask a question, you don't receive an answer, but an ANSWER super-extra
quality.

Never found before a software with this kind of support. This thing alone is worth the price.

Thank you Dan!
