Title: STBMs tracking system.
Post by: Imshi-Yallah on 13 Jan 2005, 18:39:55

Hey,
I was wondering if it would be possible to replicate a system used by the Irish army called STBMS (SINCGARS tactical battlefield management system) which basically uses a GPS plugged into a radio set which broadcasts continually back to the unit HQ.
The net result of this is a commander can see where all his units are on a digital moving map display and track their movements on it.
Obviously the script would have many potential applications in OFP but I was specifically hoping that it would be possible to embed it in certain units released by the IrDF team.
The function would simply be to show where every STBMs equipped unit (mainly armoured vehicles but also special forces on certain operations and forward OP teams). was located on the ingame map screen (as in the one reached by pressing "M"
