why all this anger?.. They are try' to do something good. And they are not obligated to any of us to do that! Just wish them luck and play the games you have!.. geez!..

I am try'n to make a new damage model to hog as you all know.. So i learned a thing or to about damage models.. There are two ways a damage model mechanic works..at least in lockon 1- You can contain a damage model IN the original model. When you do that lets say the Hog's model file loads up with the damage model poly's loads with it. When you fly undamaged you already fly with the damage model also. It is just not visible. When you get hit from the engine, the undamaged engine model becomes invisible and damaged model becomes visible. So.. The more detailed damage means, more poly, less fps. 2- You can contain the damage model Externally. If we move from the same example, when you get shot from the engine, the undamaged engine becomes invisible and game engine loads the damaged model into the scene. You wont carry the damage model with you in normal flight, but when you get hit the system should instantly load the damage part in. Now as game players we all know what that means during the game play. After all these explained. Imagine that you and your wingman are fly'n low near a city. There are buildings and a 10 vehicle convoy. You fired missiles, they fired missiles, buildings got hit, you got hit, wingman and conwoy got hit. Now all these damage model polys started to fly around. Plus there is flight dynamics, eyecandys and countless little details that should be calculated and processed (damage smokes, flames, etc.) These should be well balanced in game. When you try to reach the perfect game, if you lose focus, you can end up having an unplayable one.. This is what i think..I think a heli sim should have priorities. And i think a killed vehicle's damage model should not be at the upper lines of the list.. But thats just me :) Cheers Yeniceri

yep.. and that the beauty of it :angel:

Every mod in work at the moment will be available for FC.. SIM-MOD is not gonna quit on modding the FC. Besides..There are lots of projects on the line. SIM-MOD origined or not.. I dont think anyone should worry about that.. (From what i read from the post) neither ED nor SIM-MOd is gonna leave the FC.. And as far as i remember, nobody said anything like that..No need to be that pessimistic :=)

SIM-MOD is also continuing to mod lockon. All works that started already will be available on lockon eventually. :) Cheers:thumbup:

same here:thumbup:

Well thank you for your kind word..Flattered here :) When i said "wait and see" it was not just pure hope. Since Wags announced it, i just want to give you some news.. check http://forum.digitalcombatsimulator.com/showthread.php?t=230 What does it mean?.. It means new and really improved terrain, it means gorgeous skins, it means hi detailed objects, it means DCS is gonna look just fine :) It means the DCS is not just gonna be a good helicopter hat over an old coat. It was not gonna be anyhow. But now.. you can bet on it! Officially! Cheers Yeniceri

well we are up to our neck with current projects.. we (SIM-MOD) decided to finish what we have first.. (GPT, Grandsurfer's new airport, A-10, etc..) Than we will take projects one by one.. so.. little patience.. We have aaall the time in the world :)

I believe yah! :) :) +1
