Rework Progress PAH

[The_Fragger]

Hi guys,

... thought I share some rework progress on the internal model of the PAH:

HOT guidiance unit:

Thanks. Looking goood. :thumbup:

[Aginor]

Thanks for the update, that looks great!

But like in the Gazelle thread I can't help but wonder if this thing will still run smoothly. That's a lot of detail, and we know that might cause a performance hit.

Any words on optimization?

Also the lock wire is modeled. Details!:thumbup:

That looks really good, you guys have tons of talent.

We are nowhere close to the ammount of Triangles compared to other modules.

 

BO-105 Cockpit (183.000 triangles) -> A-10C (over 240.000 triangles).

This looks insane. I like the fact you don't settle with "good enough" and improve even what looked already pretty good.

Good to hear, thanks!

Seems like you do an even more incredible job with the textures than I previously thought, because it looks very detailed. :)

Thanx :) - I textured it so, that it looks smooth ;)

Dear fellow Simmers.

Here we go for some shots on the BO-105 PAH Cockpit.

There are just the Weapon Computers left (btw: they were tranfered from the Leopard tank ).

actualy i'm waiting to see if that performance hit is solved with the new engine, we will see ;)

from the size of the cockpit, wouldnt a comparison with the UH-1 or Mi-8 cockpit fit better?

 

UH-1H: 192.790 triangles as far as i know.

 

anyway, looking realy good those pics ;)

Here's the wireframe view... decide for yourselfs :)

Really nice modelling, with very few strange geometries (except the upper part of the seat cushion maybe).

And the textures cover the lower poly parts quite nicely. So much detail to look at. :)

 

If your flight model and system modelling is only half as well done as your model and textures this helo will be awesome.

 

And I might sound like a broken record now, but thank you for the updates! We really appreciate it. :)

These guys are true artists!

[Aginor]

Yep, great!

Dear simmers,

I implemented the Symbols as a reference for the Coding.

The feature of the Terminal is:

- Selection of HOT (left/right) -> only available if a launch malfunction occures

- Night mode selection -> increases the IR-beam visibility for the HOT

- Day mode -> Normal working mode

- Zeroizing -> calibrates the accuracy

- Test mode -> Full check of the weaponsystem

- Display of voltage drop

! In real, the BO-105 PAH (1A1) has NO nightvision mode !

We need to check that with the BO-105 PAH Pilots if they use the night vision googles for targeting or not. We keep you informed

[Looney]

Well, at least the Dutch BO-105's were equipped with NVG's at some time during a modernisation/upgrade program. They didn't carry the TOW/HOT missiles though..

 

The PAH-1 phase 2 was planned for the German army as a night fighting capability, no idea if this was pushed through or not.

And that's the problem. You can fly around using NVGs, but you can't fight if the targeting optics don't support them or have own NV functions.

Thanks for feedback The_Fragger ... sounds like a great improvement

Incredible work!!! I love that detailed cockpit...I think it will be a pleasure to get the BO-105 even just to jump into the cockpit and look around :thumbup:

Thanks for the update!
