During troubleshooting, I opened up all the model files and saved them again with the latest O2, just in case there was some old error lingering around. That may have corrected a few small bugs.

 

Alright mate, so I was affraid about reading all over again the v1.43 config.cpp class by class to check if you would have created/edited other entries in there. Apparently not, so I'll just pick the .p3d files you resaved and apply also your code edition. Also, I'm available on Discord, feel free to hop in anytime. Thanks for your precious help.

Hello gents,

 

I'd like to thank Franze once again for his fast fixes. The AH-64D (v1.43+) is now live, A3 x64 compatible and .pbo ready (link below). Also, the AH-64D (v1.43+) GitHub is up-to-date on both "dev" and "master" branch.

 

As follows, the usual changelog :

  • Replaced chaffs by flares.
  • Enhanced startup and shutdown sound.
  • Various volume tweaks.
  • Added external lights.
  • New optic effects for PLT.

Just some internal light sources being created. Nodunit inspired me pretty much on this one, so here is the in game rendering. Also, the flight computer numpad letters are misaligned. I don't know yet how I'll fix those even though I got a little idea, Nodunit would be welcome for this one.

I think I'm almost done with the cockpit lights rendering. Also, note that the lights are reflecting on pilots bodies and those are as well seen from the external POV at very close range.

Thats....really impressive!

 

Hey mate, let me know if you can take a look at the flight computer keypad and the right panel misaligned backlight so I'll send you the current "fza_ah64d_b2.p3d" that I reworked regarding many memorypoints concerning flares and lights. I'm guessing the backlight textures alignement lays in there ?

Very nice stuff. Does any of this eye-candy come at a cost to FPS.

 

Flew the latest version around yesterday and I can't say it enough.....very nice bird!

No performance hit whatsoever as it doesn't use any additional script but the official A3 config. Going solid 60+ FPS, with 10 clicks on both visibility and objects display.

Is there a txt listing of all "Custom Button" assignments in one place? I have gathered as many as I could find from the manual but even that does not appear to have associations to Head Tracking utilizing Custom Button 19 for instance.

 

Thank you in advance

Folks,

 

I've been getting bandwidth warnings from my webhost; apparently, the previous version (1.42) somehow got an incredible number of hits from 8 March to 17 March. I have no idea as to the what, why, and how for this, but I've decided that the file downloads need to be moved somewhere else for now. For lack of a better option, I've set up a drop box account and moved the most recent files there.

No worries mate, I'll send you the .p3d by the end of the week as soon as I get home. That said, I think the .p3d model file is up-to-date on GitHub.

Is it at all possible to reduce the sensitivity for the pilot NV camera when aiming? I can't seem to get it down to a reasonable level.

Also, I'm using ALT + Mouse to aim the thing when flying with a mouth. Is a possible to reduce the sensitivity for this control as well?
