RKSL Studios - WIP Discussion

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

Just read at work, Gazelles are being retained until 2018 due to no money for alternatives, although they will likely replace the ones in Canada for a type more suitable for casevac.

I heard the ones in canada are going in early 2010 and casevac role sub contracted out?

In other news I've added a few new screenshots of the EuroFighter Typhoon Cockpit and HUD on the RKSL Website Project Page

...words cannot describe how awesome that looks... love it :D

Very sexy aircraft in and out, it is nice to finally see an aircraft that doesn't shine brightly like stripped metal and have matte paint like the real thing, would you by chance be willing to share what specular power and intensity is used?

Also a number of the pictures are 404'd :(

That would be because it didnt have RVMATS applied when those shots were taken. Its just plain textures.

They all work for me?

Really? Huh..it looks better and more real without the fancy textures, thanks for the info, will remember that.

I'm not sure what happened because now they are working, maybe it was just a fluke in my browser.

it looks far better now tbh. We're getting some 2D art help from someone with far better PS skills than me now.

No you were right, the new HUD pics links were pointing at the wrong directory. :icon_rolleyes:

Any chance of a CCIP piper with cluster bombs? ;)

It was one thing i was looking at but its too hard to script properly. So in short no there wont be a CCIP. There is a toggleable bomb line available in the HUD though.

As for Cluster bombs, ArmA2's new weapons system means those can be added later but we wont be including cluster bombs in the initial release.

But anyone can now create their own weapons pack and configure the aircraft however you like.

Too bad it's not feasibly possible but alas. Perhaps Operation Arrowhead will bring new possibilities to the game? I'd like to learn how to make 3D models so perhaps making a weapon pack is just the thing, bombs rarely have really complex shapes, especially CBU's.

That looks amazing, great job

very very nice

[Gray1107 10]

Keep up the good work.

QFT !

very slick indeed :cool:

the chevrons on the canopy ...does the real UF have the built in screen heaters as i have seen on other jets... if so could you not use those as orientation marks along with some muck , scratches and grime?

*edit ...nvm my first google image shows a clean canopy http://www.articlesextra.com/articles-high-res/eurofighter-typhoon-2.jpg

Screen heaters? :p Erm do you mean the det cord for ejecting throught eh canopy? eg: On the Harrier

[Tankbuster 1746]

I always thought those lines are explosives to weaken the canopy before ejection?

edit; Oh R got there before me.

Imagine the RAF actually heating their aircraft! pft! :D
