tombeckett2285 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, Appreciate all the hard work you are putting in, however the ineffectiveness of most bombs detracts somewhat from the realism of the simulator. I've done some pretty extensive testing within the sim with regards to documented lethal blast radius and damage effectiveness and have concluded that simply changing the explosivePercent parameter to 1.0 within the warheads lua provides a far more realistic blast effect on ground targets. Is there any chance this simple change could be rolled out across all versions of the sim?

JetwasH Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Ive always enjoyed doing bombing runs in BMS as the bombs seem to be far more lethal, and the large smoke effects make you feel like you did some damage, After a bombing run in DCS it looks like someones set the bbq on fire... I love the large smoke effects from ships in 1.5.6 version..Thats more what i would expect to see after a bomb hits something that has fuel in it..

I`m not familiar with lua. Perhaps what line # or a screenshot. Would be nice. Make sure you have Notepad++ installed. Navigate to Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Database\Weapons Open the warheads.lua file using Notepad++. At the top of the file on line 22 there is a statement local explosivePercent = 0.4 Simply change the 0.4 to 1.0, then save the file. You may have to relaunch Notepad++ in administrator mode if your install is in the C:\Program Files directory. "The only replacement for a Buccaneer is a Buccaneer".

JNelson Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Lots of respect for ED if they change this to 1.0 because it has been bugging me for ages the bomb effectiveness. Community A-4E-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
