roshnak 41 Posted January 6, 2014 The real question is can you have the 4:1 combat mix for the Avenger. The armor penetration is simple. I thought Arma still used a simple hitpoints system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow398 43 Posted January 7, 2014 I thought Arma still used a simple hitpoints system? Yes, It does, however by mixing rounds it becomes more versatile, rounds with a higher caliber (penetration) and hit (damage) rating with little splash or deflection for anti armor and rounds with a lower hit, cal and more of a splash/explosion effect for personnel. I've even configed 5.56mm rounds that do little damage but have a ridiculous caliber rating to act as AP rounds to penetrate the side of an APC and kill the crew but leave the APC it self relatively unharmed (By relatively, I mean, still moving...). Color yourself educated after at least reading this. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/booce/A10%20Coloring%20Book/1.gif Click Me Bahaha, that's awesome, I'm going to hunt around for some crayons right now!

CyclonicTuna 87 Posted January 8, 2014 looks amazing when is the release date for this? Hi, lincolnlou. You must be new here! That's not a sarcastic remark. You're join date is Jan 2014 meaning you literally can't have been on these forums much longer than a week. Let me explain how modding works here. First of all... Yay mods :D! Mods are really cool because they allow everybody to customize their game, and it gives the game very long lifetime. But you have to understand that none of the people making mods gain anything from it except a thank you from the community and their own fulfillment in making mods. They don't get paid, they do this in their free time and they often don't have all the tools and abilities they would like. Because of this, you have to respect the fact that if someone is working on a project, sometimes they release 3 updates in a week, sometimes they release 1 update in 3 years, sometimes they decide to abandon the project. This is all because of the above. They do this in their free time, they're normal people like you and me and they have to work around their own life scedule etc. So they aren't obligated to give us a release date, nor should you expect one. To summarize the story above: "Its done when its done, and its here when its here." Other than that feel free to give constructive critisism and suggestions/feedback.

BadHabitz 235 Posted January 9, 2014 Peral, is the mod going to have hiddenSelectionsTextures so we can have custom skins? I know I'd be interested in making skins that change tail/identification numbers for each aircraft. So if there are 2 A-10s in an operation I can make one of them "Aircraft 601" and "Aircraft 603", or any other number/callsign combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted January 9, 2014 @ Peral: On topic, do you at this time intend for weapon selection to remain available through the "F cycle" or would it be exclusively through the DSMS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peral 267 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) @ Peral: On topic, do you at this time intend for weapon selection to remain available through the "F cycle" or would it be exclusively through the DSMS? Right now with some of the limitations of Arma "F cycle" is the only way to select weapons. Am still working the DSMS system, My goal is to have weapon selection through the DSMS and you can turn that off and use "F cycle" if you want. New cockpit textures and digital clock added Edited January 9, 2014 by Peral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lighting wise the cockpit looks a bit off in that regard. For some reason the hand seems to glow even though there is no visible sunlight hitting the dials and rest of the cockpit O_o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason the hand seems to glow even though there is no visible sunlight hitting the dials and rest of the cockpit O_o Yes, because the sun light reflection was to much, could not read the screens or see the panel instruments. And because their is no UI HUD on the top of the screen showing your speed, alt, and ammo, you have to rely on the panel instruments. I'm still working on the rvmat for that.

nodunit 397 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Being unable to read the displays due to sunlight isn't necessarily an unrealistic feature, this is why the dashboards come way over the displays and if you haven't added the glare shield to the shadow LOD then doing so should negate this in most instances. Adding the pilots seat to the shadow LOD would also reduce the glare as the sun wouldn't be bleeding right through it, it would be blocked instead. That said, if its still something you really don't like then its as simple as going into the rvmat and dropping specular down to 0, no specular, no glare.

For some reason the hand seems to glow even though there is no visible sunlight hitting the dials and rest of the cockpit O_o Sorry, I misread your question. No ambient occlusion map. I changed specular in rvmat. Being unable to read the displays due to sunlight isn't necessarily an unrealistic feature, this is why the dashboards come way over the displays and if you haven't added the dash to the shadow LOD then doing so would negate this in most instances. Adding the pilots seat to the shadow LOD would also reduce the glare as the sun wouldn't be bleeding right through it, it would be blocked instead.That said, if its still something you really don't like then its as simple as going into the rvmat and dropping specular down to 0, no specular, no glare. I tried changing the shadow LOD and still had the problem. I dropped specular in rvmat. As you know how things work in real life is not always the case in Arma.
