Producer's Note _ 2- ABRIS.wmv (?)

[Weta43]

Hi Wags (Hope you had a good day on your birthday !),

 

Just wondering whether you've picked a topic for the next producers' note, & hoping you'd forgotten your vow not to let us in on a likely time for the next ones arrival ??

 

You mentioned that you hoped either you or EB1 would get a video out every 2-3 weeks, and I've waited till the absolute minimum time is almost up before asking about the next one...

 

(You See - your words come back to haunt you again !!!)

 

Plus I wanted a thread topic that was unlikely to morph into yet another AH-64 thread...

 

Cheers,

:-)

Would you rather it morphs into a big, hirsute Russian girl? :D I'm sorry, it takes a while to come down from crack. Oi...

 

I'd rather see him record an entire mission from start to landing with voice-over only when he's doing something in the cockpit.

LMAO..! :megalol:.!!

 

 

....... hey... who said that..! I know I heard something..!? Oh well.. I wonder where he hides he's pipe..!? It must be here somewhere..? I'll just have a look around now that nobody is paying attention to me..

 

 

.... Am I writing this down..? Oh Crist..! Now they can read my mind to..!

[Wags]

Actually, I said 3-4 weeks :) ABRIS will be the next one and I'll probably get started on it next week.

[Weta43]

Ha - I'd have put money on remembering 2-3 ...

 

Anyway - Cheers, Looking forward to it - Your first one has done the rounds at work & impressed everyone who's seen it (except my girlfriend, who's desire to appear interested only lasted till halfway through :-)

 

Thinking of the ABRIS - & I think I've asked this before, but can't remember an answer - is it possible to enter the ABRIS through the ME to programme a flightplan (full screen it - maybe interact with keyboard & mouse ?), or does entering a flightplan in the ME etc automatically feed through to the ABRIS, or do you have to get in the cockpit & programme it from there ?

 

Or will all be revealed at a later date ?

[Wags]

Ack... I did find a post where I said 2-3, but I was REALLY thinking 3-4 ;) I'll see what I can do about making a video this week if the build decides to cooperate...

 

No plans for ABRIS in ME now, but you can make a mission, go into it, create route and map annotations, and then save those inputs into the mission file for anyone playing that mission.

if the build decides to cooperate...

[Weta43]

Cool,

We'll just have to zoom in till the ABRIS takes up the whole screen then :-)

 

Do you know/can you say if the ABRIS data is stored as xml in the mission archive (.Zip or .rar ? doesn't .rar support non-standard character sets better ?), or is it just the mission details that are xml ?

External ABRIS planner? :)

[Rikus]

Hope to see it soon then :)

[Weta43]

So Wags - hows that build co-operating ? & has real life allowed any space for progress on producer's note 2 ?

[Wags]

Waiting for next build to try again.

[G3]

Ack... I did find a post where I said 2-3, but I was REALLY thinking 3-4 ;)

 

hey thats good to hear as i thought my lovely wife was the only one with this problem:music_whistling:,

just stirring, hope the current build decides to play nicely:thumbup:

 

how often are you seeing a new build?

[Weta43]

Thanks for the update.

 

Hope they don't keep you waiting too long :-)

[Kusch]

Ready to download :)

[Teo]

Sweet!

 

Lots of pages to fiddle with :thumbup:

 

I just hooked up a second monitor to my computer and it would be awesome to display the ABRIS there, any news on this?

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

Nice! Learning ABRIS alone will take some time! I love it.

[Nordic]

Great-very informative.

Uploading at youtube right now.

 

btw: What does ABRIS stand for again?

 

 

EDIT: Damn, youtube says the video is too long. I don't have time now to split the video- sorry.

[thereminqblank]

Uploading at youtube right now.

 

As I am work and cannot justify downloading a movie of this size, you are now my hero :P

 

Thank you!

"ABRIS" is the Name of the "AMMS" :) (Advanced Map Moving System) in the KA-50.

[Force_Feedback]

Why is the barometric altitude changing from -50 to -200 before returning to 10 meters?

[Chizh]

Why is the barometric altitude changing from -50 to -200 before returning to 10 meters?

ABRIS continuously calculated own altitude via satellite navigation systems NAVSTAR or GLONASS with certain error depend of satellites numbers, position and some other factors. With movements the calculations is more accuracy.

[MBot]

Fascinating!

 

Matt notes that ABRIS and the INS are completely independent systems that do not share data. Does this mean when the GLONASS/NAVSTAR is down and I navigate with the INS, I wont be able to use the moving map display?

[Wags]

Well, it would be very rare to lose complete constellation coverage, so most of the time you'd be dealing inaccuracies on the map based on what is and is not over-threshold. However, if you were to remove all nav. satellites from the mission (yes, you can customize this coverage), then the AMMS would be useless.
