Tv Guided System Beta release

[nuxil 2]

i have done some small updates to the addon.

current release is 1.4

file @ http://rapidshare.com/files/146414719/Tvs_1.4.rar.html

whats new in 1.4!

nothing mindblowing tho.

- fixed Gui some more: removed Dir and heading in Gui etc etc.

- fixed TTL & BFT. now shows correct for ammo type.

- fixed weapon selection. correct weapon is selected after tv mode

- added Compass in Gui -- NEEDS MORE WORK

- added liftbar to vtol|hws "vertical takeoff or landing + harrier watersystem"

- minor hud changes to av8b-tvgb "like it or have it "

all changes after beta release. read the readme file

This addon has become a verry deadly weapon as you no longer need a laserdesignator on vehicles.

Tips & Tricks for Heli users:.

fly low and find a target. lock on. then position yourself infront of a hill.. so the target can not shoot you. turn on TVS in the action menu. FIRE. pitch the missile up and fly above the hill. then pitch down and let the missile fly it's path. it is something simelar to the Spike system.

you might need a couple of rounds before you get the hang of it.

if you use an "FX" Effect addon. you might start to think there is a bug.

if you self-destruct the bomb in mid air and you are running an effect addon, the effect is seen on the ground. this is NOT a bug in this addon, but in the effect addon you are running.

it might not be a bug. but the way its coded.

i would like some help on getting the compass working properly. any helping hand is welcome.

Enjoy

edit:

is there a way to remove beta from the topic? as its no longer a beta version

We can't open the file, so we can't read the readme.

i really want to try this followed instructions but getting CTD anybody else.

[nuxil 2]

you mean you get CTD when you try to extract the file?

if so.. try to redownload.. and clear the one in tmp. to be sure.

its possible it was a corrupt download. anyway,, i'll add one more link to be sure, i dont trust rapidshare

[colligpip 0]

no no when i try to run the scripts

im pretty sure i have followed the readme properly

added everything etc but im getting a ctd pointing at the description.ext

i have edited many missions so Im not new to this

could you include a small demo mission (very basic)just incase ive done something stupid.

[nuxil 2]

Sure... i'll post a verry basic test mission at top

[colligpip 0]

thanks it works now, dont know what I did wrong its very late here :-)

Really good script wanted something like this for ages. Is there anyway you can hold it on target for a bit before the bomb drop so you have a chance to aim.

[nuxil 2]

Its not a laser guided bomb you know

but if you want to be a passanger.. add a unit with a laserdesignator and designate a tank..

you must practice to spot targets before you drop the bomb..

also look on the radar in the aircrafe what heading the enemy is at...

also if you join a group.. the group leader should be able to mark the tank or whatever on the map. so you can guide with the minimap to a degree. on flight while in bomb/missile mode

but all in all..

Don't want to sound negative, but are you aware that this isn't how a TV guided missile works in real life?

In real life the camera of such missiles is used to aim the missile into the target prior the missile launch and after the launch the missile flies autonomously towards the previously locked target without the pilot having any control over the missile.

There are of course some exceptions such as for example the Walleye (which as far as I know it was already retired from service) and the later flight stages of the SLAM missile which works similar to what is modeled in this script (but data-link pods are required for this), but again these "exceptions" are a vast minority.

Besides this, this TV guided missile script looks great and it would definitly be cool to see a more realistic version of it.

[nuxil 2]

Did i state it was realistc? no i didnt.

also what do you expect.. its a beta release im working on.

Well not 100 % true. but you already said that..

You can see on thise video from a real life event that the pilot or gunner.. adjust the flightpath of the missile|bomb.

Ideas and suggestions are more welcome than just saying its not like this it works in real life..

there is no way to get it 100% accurate to real life.

BTW.. im getting Emails from People having Issue.. i dont like that.

USE the Forums. and use Email for other info.. not issues.

So i desided to pack up thise files to a small addon instead..

the script is inclued on

AH1W as AH1-TVGM

AV8B as AV8-TVGB

KA50 as KA50-TVGM

SU34 as SU34-TVGM

SU34 as SU34-TVGB

It should not replace any of the standar vehicles.

but i recommend you use the MOD Folder Way when you install it!.

I'll also Edit my first post.

it would be good if we could link this in with the recon cam in mando bombs - attach it to the plane you are flying target and then drop the bomb hey i may try it myself now.

nuxil,

Please don't get me wrong and sorry if I sound too critic. I was basically trying to give you a sugestion in which instead of having a camera going with the missile (in front of the missile) it would IMO be better (more realistic) to have the camera fixed in front of the launching aircraft instead (the camera wouldn't fly with the missile it would fly with the launching aircraft) and the rest could work exactly as it is now in which the missile would be guided towards the sopt where the camera is aimed to.

Anyway, this is a sugestion that would give IMO a better realism, specially if we consider laser guided weapons such as the Hellfire or Vikhr.

[nuxil 2]

ricnunes what you are talking about i think gdtmodhellfire does.

try out that mod|addon if your not happy

btw.. i had to use

Hellfire,Vikhr,Ch29 and GBU12 ammo because im not a modeler.

hopefully GodHammer lets me uses his real like "tv guided missile" models when he is finished with them,.

ricnunes i dont want to become a copycat by doing something that already exsists.

But thanks for the feddback
