DCS: Armored Train required XD

[klem]

It needs only few hours for an experienced user to make it in 3ds MAX with texture, ambient occlusion, specular and normal maps plus with the adjusted materials.

Needs another few minutes to implement and export to DCS as swap the 2D track model splines or bones to the accurate 3D LOD models in the terrain constructor if the train route is already implemented. Not so difficult. :) My 2 cents

 

performance hit ?

[Andy1966]

OMG!! That is an awesome locomotive and staff car! a harbinger of things to come

[Plagi_Arism]

Smart LOD models and setting helps a lot ;)

 

My pre-answer was 4 posts back oinly :D

That's some stunning work! I really appreciate it! :thumbup:

[Bourrinopathe]

Is that some kind of Sniper Elite spin-off?

The level of detail is astonishing. :shocking:

 

Congratulations to the team!

Man.. that looks amazing, doesn't even look DCS. I really like how the DCS is going..

Beautiful locomotive.

 

But you know what must so now follow ?

 

An Hawker Typhoon !

[EagleEye]

Pretty models. Will we get a nice boiler explosion from this locomotive?:D

Yes but some of us are already struggling with fps and don't want to reduces settings further just to see extensive rail tracks. If sections could be added in ME as targets that would be different.

If they can do an extensive power line network, I guess a couple of rail lines (only 3d at close LOD) won't make too much of a difference.

Very nice train and Kübelwagen!

[VTJS17_Fire]

Awesome!

Exactly !

I strongly prefer a Normandy map without 3D rail tracks released this year over one with them sometime next year.

Same here! That can be added later, imho.

[SkateZilla]

I think it's almost a given that the 2d track is just a place holder until the new 3d Art is done for WWII Era Rail Systems.

 

the texture isnt even in color.. lol..

[Brigg]

Like someone said before this isn't train simulator and 3d rails aint that important to me. I would rather have the map sooner rather than later and have them add them over time.

One of my absolute favs!

Damn, it seems there really was a game about everything back in those days :lol:

[Cunctator]

Gameplay actually looks pretty good and intense.

 

For me and my friends "a game about everything" was a big argument in favor of PCs when I was young. That were great times when small teams could make AAA titles in less than a years and each piece of new hardware revolutionized the experience. I guess it took less hours to make "The Train" than a single locomotive for DCS.

One more screen for today's news.
