PhilippRauch 0 Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) hey sabre just dl and try! ;) ... but when i start it with ace it has no reticules? Maybe i did something wrong... but with vanilla arma its already just funfunfun! ... turrets popping off and reticule adjusting to range etc... just lovely ... i use the tanksFX for my next javelin video.. ok? :D hope to test that soon in MP! PS: as for FX, in steelbeast the turrets pop off with considerable more force... havent seen one real CK though...

PS: as for FX, in steelbeast the turrets pop off with considerable more force... havent seen one real CK though... It probably only works with BIS tanks and possibly a few others. Not sure what he's done with the "model" aspect of the original FCS in this current version. But v0.4 didn't work with ACE either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max255 59 Posted April 14, 2009 ACE dev (don't remember who :E) wrote some time ago that FCS will be integrated in ACE as soon it will be MP compatible... Now it is. So we must just wait... ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowY 0 Posted April 14, 2009 it`s nice but also dissapointing..the turret dissapears after while with a small explosion and the tanks have no damage textures only the turrets. I only played with the racs T-72`s btw. For MP you can let the whole tank dissapear but in single player/editor it would be nice to have the turret laying around on the battlefield with ammo explosions from the tank and turret.

Thanks for pointing out these issues, I owe one for You! I have no idea where these damage textures have gone, it's mysterious :beam: I have checked it triple and still no idea what's wrong. EDIT: got it, model.cfg bug I'm removing turret disappearing unless the tank is deletevehicled/respawned. Edited April 16, 2009 by zGuba resolved bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted April 15, 2009 Is it realistic that M1 Turret also blows away? I thought to have read that only early and Export T72 Series were victims of that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuIoodporny 45 Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Is it realistic that M1 Turret also blows away?I thought to have read that only early and Export T72 Series were victims of that... Sorted it out, in next release Abrams turrets would at most disconnect from the tank instead of flying up high. Edited April 15, 2009 by zGuba ah, so that's how multiquoting works...

ryankaplan 1 Posted April 18, 2009 the t72s rangefinder or the munition ballistics seems to be off for me. Only tested it for HEF, HEAT and Sabot (althoguh i coulnt see the impacts for sabot) and non of them seem to be hitting for me.. I am following the nwd manual and am able to work the Abrams FCS correctly. 6-Sabot, H-Heat, 0-HEF Make sure correct FCS mode is on (matches with loaded munition) Lase with red hexagon on target Bring the tip of the big chevron to the target and fire. The FCS does adjust the range, but not enough it seems. Using Queens Gambit, and latest beta patch, -mod=DBE1;beta;ztanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuIoodporny 45 Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) T-72 sights are a bit off the target (possible misplacing of optics model), that's the reason. I'm aiming with the top of vertical ]-shaped distance aimer instead of ^, and it works quite successfully... anyway I can try improving it so it'll work as stated in manual ;) Edited April 18, 2009 by zGuba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted April 18, 2009 So am i right i goes now like this: NWD Tank FCS -> zTanks Merge -> Community Armor Project (see dev-heaven.net) -> Inclusion/compatiblity with ACE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuIoodporny 45 Posted April 18, 2009 Exactly. zTanks is simply the icebreaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
