EvilBivol-1 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 btw: What does ABRIS stand for again?"ABRIS" is the Name of the "AMMS" :) (Advanced Map Moving System) in the KA-50.Actually, "ABRIS" is a Russian acronym that would translate roughly as Aviation Onboard Radioelectronic Integrated System. The English product name is simply "AMMS," or Advanced Moving Map System. We just got used to calling it ABRIS during development, probably because it happens to be one of the more natural-sounding Russian acronyms. :) - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

Malleus Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nice vid! The satellite navigation system uses GLONASS and GPS too? Cause I'm not sure the Glonass system ever had as many satellites in orbit as the number shown on the ABRIS satellite screen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Can we use all or some of dose ABRIS function on the planing map or only in the cockpit? Will the game have some kind of DTC (Data transfer cartridge) or electronic data transfer module (EDTM) where you can save FLT plans and other stuff in the planing map and see it in the ABRIS once you are in game? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

Even so, if you want to change the constellation, you will be free to do so.

The flight plan you create in the mission editor is automatically ported to the ABRIS at mission start. However, map annotations are only done on the ABRIS.

Flyby Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 does this mean... The flight plan you create in the mission editor is automatically ported to the ABRIS at mission start. However, map annotations are only done on the ABRIS. Wags does this mean in a coop mission all BS pilots will share the same info mission (waypoints, threat areas, target areas, etc) automatically? I'm guessing "yes" Flyby ps thanks for the ABRIS update. very informative.

G3 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 good stuff ! the video is good quality, better than last time i feel, and the file size is definitely a major improvement. these are great, keep em coming :thumbup: hope those rotary dials on the abris have a good "mousewheel scroll to turn dial knob ratio" ? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBivol-1 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Cause I'm not sure the Glonass system ever had as many satellites in orbit as the number shown on the ABRIS satellite screen. :)After the October launch of three GLONASS-M satellites, the total at the moment is nine. Three more are expected to go up in December. hope those rotary dials on the abris have a good "mousewheel scroll to turn dial knob ratio" ? :DNot especially, but you can also click and drag the mouse to turn the wheels, which works much better if you have a long way to roll. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

leafer Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 So much to learn is right, ggg87. How many pages of the manual is devoted to the ABRIS? I asked because I want to gauge how much is there to learn because. Call me an idiot, but I came away from the video thinking I'm going to have to learn all that? And I have a feeling the vid didn't even scratch the surface of what awaits us in the final product. I certainly hope this is the case of "it's actually easier than it looks". I wasn't intimidated by the start-up video because I'm positive there is a one button start up however, this video worries me. I think it's safe to say at this point that BS is going to be a handful for veterans and noobs. Well, bring it on. :) ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The ABRIS is a very complex instrument, but I think Wags showed you the vast majority of the functions that you will use in game (yes, there's certainly more, and I think there are even some functions that can't actually be simulated, IIRC). There's plenty of manual space devoted to ABRIS, that's all I'll say ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Well, some think learning is half the fun; guess I'll see if that is true. :) I forgot to ask if it is possible to display the ABRIS in full screen or send it to a different monitor/touch screen? It looks really awkward having to spend minutes working something so complicated at a look down angel. thanks ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch3r Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thank you for the video. It appears as there will be a whole lot of training involved with BS. :pilotfly: https://www.youtube.com/@ditch3rgames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks really awkward having to spend minutes working something so complicated at a look down angel. You're getting taken in by the realism of it all Leafer :-) You're not realy looking down at it - if you zoom in a little, it's still right there in the middle of your monitor (just like full screen, only a slightly different shape) Full screen in the ME would be handy though, rather than adding the general flight plan through the ME then adding the ABRIS specific parts by loading the mission & jumping into the pit.

What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that? Oh right...thinking is not my onete let alone forte. :doh: I second a full screen ABRIS in the ME. I realize it's too late at this stage but perhaps somewhere down the road? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
