New MIM-104 PAC-2 model

New MLRS model

[Dutch60]

WOW

 

What’s happening to these new ground objects and (new) missiles, the are looking cooler and cooler every time we get to see some new shot’s.

[aimmaverick]

Holy shit. These new sreenshots of vehicles and weapon models are awesome. Airplanes compared to these will now look ugly. Damn cant they make new models for Tornado and F-14. makes me crying... Anyway keep up the good work on the rest stuff with old 3d model. And improve contrails to fell more dynamic. Great job ED keep up the good work!

 

PS: I really dont know which graphics card will be able to run this smoothly and with max. settings. I hope there wont be some radical LOD adjustment to see a target like a dot on you TV from 3 miles. lol

Don't worry about Black shark eating your system. It runs roughly the same as lock on 1.12a fps wise. :)

[Romik]

That's absolutely amazing.

Just noticed that MLRS has it's frontshileld closed when in firing stance and open when driving. Don't know if it's the case in FC, and those small deteails are impressive.

Look on screenshots cearfully - you'll see the functional shield

[NEODARK]

why is it that there is so much attention being put into missiles?

 

I agree the ground vehicles with more detail are needed since we'll be flying helos, but I much rather have a nicer flanker/fulcrum/eagle/hog that I see all the time on-screen, than a misile that I fire and don't even get to see much if any.. (maybe better smoke effects though)

 

No offence HAN, your sim rocks, but I wonder why?

Ed i Need Help.

 

Hello name is NightWolf

i have it on record.

I agree. If we just take a look in the screenshots section there are nothing but armoured vehicles and missiles. I hope this is not the only thing you are working on. These shots are nice, they show some great 3D modelling but we get almost nothing about what's going on with the Ka-50 except for some brief comments from time to time. I think you would stimulate people's attention and ineterest if you post screens and/or videos with various tematics, like it was with LO 1.0 and 1.1.

Personaly, I don't care too much about ground vehicles and missiles 3D models. Ground units would be just some solouettes on the Shkval screen or small figures on the HUD. And about missiles- I rather care about it's realistic logics and FM than how it looks like.

Are you signed in with the username and password that you used to purchase it when you try?

Wow, I know its been said before , but they really should make a Active Total Battlefield. Any of these new ground units comming out could hold its own (and actually are even better than) any armour sim current or forseeable future. (Model wise)

 

Insane, the MLRS cammo pattern is even spot on.

[Crusty]

Personaly I am more interested in terrain modelling improvements than detailed ground vehicle models, ...terrain looks the same as flaming cliffs to me, not that its bad anyway

I assume they made it so you cant fly through trees with no effect..they did .....didnt they? :huh:

[Witchking]

better smoke effects Han :).....that is what is needed to compliment those missles. I do not say its bad...but I say putting soo much attention into missile models is kinda pointless since their smoke trail is the only thing we see most of the time. But well....:p...u guys know what u r doing...:p

[Weta43]

Presumably it's all stuff they can directly transfer to the next sim without worying about them being affected by those things that will definately have to be re-done (because of changes to the graphics engine, shaders etc. )

If they know next release will use entirely different smoke effects, there's not much point improving them for this release, but if they intend to import all the ground unit rocket/ missile / models then there is some point in improving these. Same with working out balistic modelling for projectiles - they can just move that to the new sim.

totally agree. Its a shame to see those weapons and tanks have more poly than our precious flankers. lol

I found this guy in trouble on HL. I tryed to help him out but he apeared to mess himself up repeatedly and he signed in several times instead of just loggin in (he apeared not to know the difference). Because every time one accesses lockon.ru must log in (NOT sign in) everytime.

Probably he cant even remenber wich name and Password he used when he made the purchase. he told me he had seen the code once but somehow missed it afterwords (you should had taken note then dude). Somebody just send him a key to the mail.

[Ardillita]

Great images! but... too much work makeing models instead of fixing tech details... ED have not tell us if all the bugs in actual verson will be fixed? Will be?

[Weta43]

running through your post in reverse -

will all the bugs be fixed ? no - name a game with no bugs.

Has E.D. said what bugs they'll fix - not that I've seen (does this mean they won't fix any - my guess is no)

E.D. are spending too much time on models of ground units & not enough on fixing bugs & technical details - You must have a better source of info on how they're spending their time than me (though anyone with an actual source would), 'cause I have no idea how many bugs they've fixed, though I guess there are a few technical details being ironed out for the Ka-50 -like the cockpit, nav systems, hydraulics, de-ice systems etc. - unless you meant technical details for existing planes - in which case I stand by what I said above.

Regarding this unfounded notion that Eagle is spending a great deal of time on creating new object models, that is not really true. The vast majority of new object models (like ground vehicles and missiles) that have been shown have been done by 3rd parties.

oooooooooooooooooooooh....so thats the enlightenment :)

Thanks Matt,

So apart from the helicopter ... what other bits have ED been spending time on? So far, the only info I've heard is better treess are in, then out. WAFM is in, then out. Some light AAA (Great!). Nothing will change for A2A ... but there is the AIM-120C which is has different modelling ...

 

We are getting a few mixed messages! Anyone from ED like to give us a feature list?

-Neo,

 

I feel the EXACT same way. It's nice, but why not better models of the aircraft already in the game instead of soooo much attention to detail on the treads on the tanks, etc. Yes its cool, but I think there could be many more areas that could be focused on before we get sooo heavy into modeling we will never really get to appreciate.

I might look at a missile that close for 1 minute in 100 hours that I play the game. I see aircraft, carriers, etc much much more. :thumbup:

This sim still rocks, don't get me wrong. Just some constructive criticism like others :pilotfly:

[Witchking]

man.....Black shark would have been soo great if the speedtree was implemented :(......too bad.....

 

I guess speed tree and new terrain was the first thing that got me excited about BS....:(....well....lets see what ED has in store for us ;)
