Drew 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Watch this video, notice the green monitor? its a weapons camera I believe, Would it be possible to implement this on the aircraft in this game? This would inhance the realism of the aircraft + It would be that much cooler :D. Plz note that commanche gold is about 10 years old now, So I can only assume it would be possible.

SASrecon 0 Posted October 5, 2009 well in OA we're promised HUD in air vehicles but i highly doubt that it will be this detailed, possibly due to engine limitation and possibly due to just the fact that its a huge advantage to anyone in a chopper. Have you seen the f117 night hawk mod in progress? maybe thats the answer to your dreams xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted October 5, 2009 yes but can someone add a 2ndary camera mod to make this possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted October 5, 2009 No. As far as we know, there is no Render-To-Texture capability with the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted October 5, 2009 well in OA we're promised HUD in air vehicles but ...... 'Less you can directly quote that, I'd be careful claiming that BIS dev's promised anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted October 5, 2009 well in OA we're promised HUD in air vehicles HUD != multi-fucntion displays with FLIR, DTV and other electro-optical systems as seen in that video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted October 5, 2009 I want a damn Weapons camera!!!:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbal Influence 10 Posted October 6, 2009 Perhaps I get it wrong: We even had a camera on bombs flying or rockets being shot in OFP - so why should this not be possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimRiceSE 10 Posted October 6, 2009 yes, but that wasnt rendering from two separate perspectives at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted October 6, 2009 In the simplest way, we can´t have Picture in Picture. Would be nice to have something like: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted October 6, 2009 In the simplest way, we can´t have Picture in Picture.Would be nice to have something like: A version like that existed in OFP, it was a MFD camera, fully scripted, I've no idea if it would be possible to re-create it in arma2. Also the Su30 release by Ausfiles for Arma1 also had a MFD camera for the gunner seat, might be worth asking him how this was achieved and then taking it further.

Badassdom 0 Posted October 6, 2009 You can have the GPS in as an extra HUD can't you do anything with that? Also Franze & NodUnit AH-64's in OFP had something like a HUD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted October 6, 2009 if it was possible in games like OFP why would it not be possible in Arma 2 ? i wish i knew about making mods :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted October 6, 2009 if it was possible in games like OFP It wasn't. Excuse the hideous ms-paintness of this, its all i've got on this crappy laptop. The bit in green is a HUD, that we can do, and have done since OFP. The bit in red is an MFD showing a weapon camera, that we can NOT, and have NEVER been able to, do in any of OFP -> ArmA2. And there is no mention of a render-to-texture ("picture in picture" or anything else really isnt the right name) system being added to OA, so I wouldnt hold your breath...

Drew 10 Posted October 6, 2009 thats very sad :( games from 10 years ago have the capability(Like Comanche gold, lock-on, etc.) but yet Arma 2 doesnt have this, very disheartening(spelling?). :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndresCL 10 Posted October 6, 2009 thats very sad :( games from 10 years ago have the capability(Like Comanche gold, lock-on, etc.) but yet Arma 2 doesnt have this, very disheartening(spelling?). :( ArmA 2 dosent focus on air vehicles, probably its not one of BIS priorities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbal Influence 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Can't you use something like the picture of the review mirrors of vehicles? As far as I can remember - they work! Wasn't I sitting in an MI-8 lately ... watching the scenery with the review mirrors ... ? Thats a picture in the picture ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mirrors use an environment map which gives the impression of reflection, but doesnt actually reflect anything. So no, it isnt :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted October 9, 2009 I know in the OA QA that W0lle posted BIS said something about better HUD's and functional MFD's (if my mind is intact - might not be). I dont think they will get picture in picture done (i hope though), but maybe with weapon stats, fuel and such things? Trying to find the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringhejm 10 Posted October 25, 2009 Hey hey. I Dont know any thing on how to make this, and i have ask for it along time ago. ( wantet to have the camera of the drone to be displayd on a big tv screen ) Anyway. When you fly or drive you can have the GPS shown at all time. does it have to show the map. ???? cant it show a gun cam from the airplane insted ??? I know it is not integreatet in the plane but that will be the next step if it can be done like that. The GPS must basicly be a render-to-texture or "picture in picture" since we have the gps whit the moving map inside. ???? but i dont know, I am just guesing here.
