I'm unable to answer your questions at this time.

[eggbeast 3673]

some progress today

H13: fixed FFV, lights, markerlights, scripts, proxy positions, exhausts, gun aim, cargo seating, icon colour
H34: fixed lights, markerlights / copilot head still needs fixing
O2:fixed cargo seating / tried but failed to limit FFV for copilot if door was animated shut... any ideas?

PBR: lights updated / still need to fix commander searchlight movement

some more pics of us testing combat in the swamps and paddies of Doung

 

 

 

 

I have to say - this shit feels REAL.

[teddymosart1 40]

Some script to attach a explosive device to the hull of boats,in-game? They complain that the Trawler boat is hard to sink....

 

A better Sling loading camera for helos? Or some way to steady a pintle-mounted MG if standing up in cargo area of H-55?

 

This is just some ideas of mine ,in case you think Im trolling you...if I don`t ask-I may not get it-so I yell as much as I can :lol:

I guess you don't use ACE 3 because you can attach explosives to vehicles in it, also what kind of camera would be acceptable on late 60's early 70's helicopters??? Use 1st or 3rd person.

Hi. I do not want to spam . but if I can do some texture and collaborate.

[eggbeast 3673]

that teddy guy sheesh. do one more crazy request post like that and you go on my ignore list buddy.

 

@sanchez - thank you so much for your offer. we could work together, but i fear that i cannot understand almost anything you write, so it could cause problems.

I am guessing you are catalan? I have a phrase book, but unless you can speak english to a passable degree, i think we cannot work together. i am sorry friend!

thanks again.

[teddymosart1 40]

Didn`t meant to be an ashoxxx!    Just get carried away ,all you want ,such a Loooong wait.   But you do a great job...so worth the wait. ;)  :wub:

Nice to see the rice paddies flooded on the new map...guess you will do this for Dakrong too at some point :)  Any info how AI is working in the swamps and paddies ? 

 

Keep it up...you are really making a dream come true :)

O2:fixed cargo seating / tried but failed to limit FFV for copilot if door was animated shut... any ideas?

 

Yeah, just don't add it.  I seriously doubt you can FFV from a plane anyway.  Those were observer/FAC planes so they avoided direct combat for the most part

[eggbeast 3673]

it's in and works great pook. in a lot of the SOG books i've been reading they mention guys shooting and throwing nades and even dynamite from these planes to help desperate units who are about to be over-run.

 

there is a setting in the turret which is supposed to prevent the cargoturret working if a named animationsource is set to 1, but this doesn't seem to do anything just in config...

 

enabledByAnimationSource = "canopy_top"; // FFV won't work unless this animation source is 1 (e.g. an open door)

 

i know canopy_top being 1 will mean the door is closed, but before i go swapping it all around, i'm testing to see if it will control the ffv turret access, even withthe reverse being true, i.e. the door must be closed for the ffv to work.  This will be criticalalso in the M113s when we come to add standing FFV in the top hatch space.
 

		class CargoTurret;
		class Turrets: Turrets
		{
			class CargoTurret_right_front: CargoTurret
			{
				proxyIndex = 3;
				gunnerAction = "Chopperlight_R_Static_H";
				gunnerInAction = "Chopperlight_R_Static_H";
				gunnerGetInAction = "Chopperlight_R_In_H";
				gunnerCompartments = "Compartment1";
				gunnerName = "Co-pilot";
				memoryPointsGetInGunner = "pos gunner";
				memoryPointsGetInGunnerDir = "pos gunner dir";
				gunnerGetOutAction = "GetOutMedium";
				maxElev = 15;
				minElev = -60;
				initTurn = -20;
				minTurn = -105;
				maxTurn = 80;
				isPersonTurret = 1;
				personTurretAction = "vehicle_coshooter_1";
				enabledByAnimationSource = "canopy_top"; // FFV won't work unless this animation source is 1 (e.g. an open door)
			};
		};

Isn't there an elaborate script mechanism to "drop nade" and "pop smoke" that would do your books justice?

[poudjik 5]

Hi folks, 

 

I am very looking forward to the new maps.

Unless mistaken it seems that the doung map is literally an island surrounded by infinate water. 

 

I would just like to suggest making it infinate water on the East side, and infinate landmass on North, West and South sides of the map; so it would simulate Vietnam coastline in some sort.

 

I just fear in my case; when I flyby the map in a jet it can break the immersion to see its an island.

Will there be modes for dropping stuff from the A-6? LGB?

[eggbeast 3673]

can you elaborate on "modes"?

[chas gate 23]

My guess is hes saying dropping all bombs 1 bomb all payload

[teddymosart1 40]

Yes,in RW you could choose how many you drop .Could we maybe get a "A-6 aircrew " from Zeus?

[eggbeast 3673]

we have bomb pickling modes in the mod in all planes - 1,2 or all bombs for smaller bombs (mk82 etc), and 1 or 2 bombs for larger bombs (mk83/84/ GBU8).

you get pilot classes in zeus yes.
