verde13 0 Posted January 23, 2012 I have been waiting for this one for a while. Thank you very much. Really really happy with what i've seen so far. Only bug i've come across is that the commander has no zoom and no night/thermal vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: While I think of it, I didn't get any turret sounds either. Based on all those "Updating base class" entries, I'm guessing part of the issue is that the configs are defining more than they need to. IMO, I'd base the vehicle config off an existing vehicle class so that it inherits most of the sounds and configs you already want. That'd cut down on the amount of extra code you need to put it, and it would make it compatible with sound mods, like J.S.R.S.

dk-vcb 31 Posted January 24, 2012 yeah the gunner has thermal sights of course... guess MoD didnt think it was important to have the hunterkill effect during night ops:P but who am i to judge.. turret sounds i might have turned it off too much ill have a look at that later.. need a small break atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staff Sergeant Bush 10 Posted January 24, 2012 good job man.is there anyway to re do the desert textures they just seem shaddy shalll a say its the only thing that bugs me about a great addon lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted January 24, 2012 You mean they don't have them in real life? What the heck? The commander's supposed to be the one with all the situational awareness! Someone in the government derp'd.Does the gunner have thermal sights? (IRL, of course) Have some spotters stuff: When the CR2 was built, the technology to make a fully stabilised x4/x10independent TI sight small enough to fit in the Commander's Primary Sight cupola simply didn't exist. It was scheduled for a midlife upgrade in 2005, along with the smooth bore gun, lighter running gear, upgraded FCC and new power pack (engine + gearbox). Alas, the world being what it is by 2005 we no longer really needed MBTs so the upgrades were shelved. Want more? :p The current TISH (TI Sight Head) is housed in that big square box you can see sitting on barrel (the TISH barbette) so it points wherever the gun points, the FCC catches up, computes the aiming mark and draws it in the display - it can be a little laggy when shooting at range (not something simulated in ArmA2 luckily!). Both the gunner and commander can switch to the TI sight in their regular head down displays or view it through a 'TI relaxed viewing monitor' (which is now called something else because they didn't like the word relaxed, but I can't recall what it changed to). But clearly only one person can control the gun / turret at once so you lose the independent search capability of the daylight CPS (usually about an hour before last light). Boo hiss etc. Mind you, if you made sure your gunner serviced the TISH regularly the picture was bloody good. I've 'navigated' across BATUS at night by following the tracks of another tank in the TI - a good 2 hours later. The TISH would also made a jolly good place to keep cold beer as it was kept at a constant 4 degrees centigrade. But of course we never drank alcohol on exercise. At all. Ever. Honest. (By the way, before anyone accuses me of being a tank spotter, I spent 8 years playing on these toys as a CR2 Commander in various parts of the world. I don't know a great deal about any other tanks though.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveP 66 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Honestly no idea what's happened there then; DK will have to look in to it, last I was working on it (finished up the ACE/Gun Realism Package late last summer) it was working good job man.is there anyway to re do the desert textures they just seem shaddy shalll a say its the only thing that bugs me about a great addon lol By all means feel free to try improving the 'shaddy' textures yourself and show us-I personally spent a month trying to do so, results were not optimal, the Lighting engine can really play silly tricks with your work and it's bloody difficult texturing something if you didn't unwrap it yourself Furthermore, the texturing itself isn't exactly bad. While it may not suit all environs, it's simply by the nature of the compromise -what would've worked really well on Zargabad sucks on Takistan, Qom, what works there wouldn't work on clafghan, and so on Edited January 24, 2012 by DaveP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dk-vcb 31 Posted January 24, 2012 nah dave think its ur turn to fix the sights on the commander view, u dont need me u know what to do and can do it way better than me..!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted January 24, 2012 Last I checked, it was set up so 'zooming in' again took you to the TI view (Numpad + by default). N changed the ArmA2 engine default greyscale TI to the proper CR2 greenscale. It's not an ideal situation but games limitations being what they are, it's workable.

munger 25 Posted January 24, 2012 Great to have an update for this awesome addon, thanks guys. :) Is it me or is the new 'three pronged' thingy at the back of the turret desert coloured on the woodland camo version? Could it be changed to woodland to match the rest of the woodland camo? Just a personal thing but I hate seeing bits of a vehicle in desert camo when the rest is in woodland camo. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
