marker 1 Posted September 29, 2013 Just wondering if it is somehow possible to pull out and display the max bullet range? For example, the B_408_Ball round from the 7Rnd_408_Mag which is used by the M320 LRR .408. Looking through the config file for the 408 there is nothing that displays the max distance for the round.. Config file here.. http://browser.six-projects.net/cfg_ammo/B_408_Ball/config?version=72 Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonic-_- 53 Posted September 30, 2013 There actually really isn't a max distance, the max distance is actually just calculated by the velocity and angle of it's point of origin, bullets like the 408 don't really have a max range. You can actually shoot from one end of Altis to the other if angled properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted September 30, 2013 Bullets have a definite time to live. Check the timetolive one level up of that config. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marker 1 Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks guys So, correct me if I am wrong.. timetolive = 6; (I presume seconds)! typicalspeed = 910; (I presume metres per second)! Which would be 6 x 910 = 5460 mtrs, obviously the accurate distance would be shorter. Is there anywhere I could see that in the config. I was hoping maybe visibletime was somehow involved.

tinter 184 Posted September 30, 2013 Is the speed constant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonic-_- 53 Posted September 30, 2013 Bullets have a definite time to live. Check the timetolive one level up of that config. That actually does something? I fooled around with Bullet cam awhile back and never found that option to be effective in any calibers class. It just seemed to go on till it lost it's velocity. Is the speed constant? They eventually drop in velocity. A good way to test is to use Bullet cam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was talk about ammo types the other day and the Devs were saying how 5.56 doesn't live long enough to travel 2300m or something and they talked about the time to live value, but I couldn't find that thread last night.

tonic-_- 53 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I believe 6.5mm bullet won't even "live" long enough to reach 2300 meters, but well... Well unless they changed it that statement is false... I sniped people with bullet cam 4km away with a MX SW... Oh well maybe it's all been changed since I last tested but in my opinion I doubt. Nether the less always good information to be shared. I suppose if you wanted to calculate the maximum distance you could calculate the starting velocity or typicalspeed against the timetolive along with the bullet drop (wherever that may linger) and could get an accurate maximum range but the dirty way I would suppose marker has already got that :P Edited September 30, 2013 by Tonic-_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
