[Some good advice about checking LOS I just found out]

Thanks all for the help. It is very much appreciated. This has been giving me a lot of trouble and taking away from the pleasure of the game.

This may be enough to get me going at least I hope so.

[Some good advice about checking LOS I just found out]

One of the big reasons that LOS is difficult to figure out is because the game does not permit your camera to go all the way down to eyelevel. If you're not aware of that, you might wrongly believe that "what you see is what you get".

I suspect this may be the problem. Let me do some more testing and see what I get.

Thanks for your help. I was getting frustrated and this is probably something I can work around. I figured it was something simple.

[Some good advice about checking LOS I just found out]

You really have to get down to level one and see exactly what the troopers see. The wall may be too high and another unit is the one seeing the target. Or, your unit is on HIDE in which case his head is below the level of the wall etc.

This is what I do and it seems that at times, the troops cannot see over a standard game wall but sometimes they can.

Puzzling

[Some good advice about checking LOS I just found out]

I could use some help. LOS has me snookered.

I played CMBO when it came out till I wore out the pixels.

Now I am trying the new games, CMFI and CMBN and cannot get line of sight under control

I go to a spot with clear line of sight, I can see the targets easily (I am positioned behind a wall as an example) but the game indicates no LOS.

I have to be missing something probably very simple once it is understood but cannot advance in the game until I get this figured out.

Maybe I am just an old man who is slow figuring new things out but I would certainly appreciate any help. I really want to get back into the game.

[Ambient sounds "booming"]

I agree.

That is why I modded and released this birdsong file:

Tried it and it works pretty well......Thanks.

The second link in the above link is what you probably want to try, many options to choose from.

Thanks very much. It is appreciated.

[Ambient sounds "booming"]

One issue that I could use some help on is ambient sounds especially the "booming" of artillery. I really find it distracting and will turn off the sound thus losing a lot of the complexity of the game.

As I recall, CMBO allowed you to turn off ambient sounds. I checked with Battlefront and this is not in the works for the games I bought.

So, does anyone have any idea on how to take the booming off on either or both games?

An old man would really appreciate any help with this.
